Two days, two weather delays and two Chapel Hill round-trip bus trips later, Southeast Raleigh gained its first win with a 66-20 victory over the Tigers Friday night at Baker Stadium.

Multiple lightning strikes on Thursday forced postponement until Friday with Bulldogs leading 13-6 and 9:40 remaining in the second quarter. Southeast Raleigh (1-3) led at halftime only 25-13 over the Tigers (2-2) before erupting for 41 second-half points.

The Bulldogs finished with 695 total yards as seven players combined for 10 touchdowns.

Southeast Raleigh quarterback Dylan Parham, an N.C. State recruit, finished 17 of 25 for 272 yards and four TDs.
