INDIANA, November 7, 2025 - Grenadian basketball prospect Enel St Bernard thrilled fans with a stellar performance in his first home game for Indiana State University, notching a double-double during the team’s commanding 104–73 win over Illinois Tech on Thursday night in NCAA Division I basketball action.
The 6’7” forward from Harford Village, St Andrew, poured in 17 points, snatched 12 rebounds, and added an assist and a steal, marking his first double-double of the season. St Bernard also matched his career-high for points with 17 and remains perfect from the field, hitting 9-for-9 through his first two games.
His impressive display electrified the home crowd and earned him a spot on ESPN’s Top Five, showcasing how far the Grenadian standout has advanced since his early playing days back home.
Former Panola College Coach Joe Kuglioski, who guided Enel’s development before he moved to Indiana State, reflected with pride on his journey.
“From a phone call two years ago to ESPN, Enel is amazing — what a journey,” said Kuglioski.
Enel’s rise from the small community of Harford Village to America’s biggest collegiate basketball stage demonstrates resilience, humility, and hard work. He continues to show that Caribbean athletes can not only compete but also excel at the highest levels when given the opportunity.
The Sycamores are now 1-1 on the season and will hit the road to face Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) on Monday, November 10, with tipoff set for 7:00 p.m. ET. Indiana State will then travel to Durham, North Carolina, for a highly anticipated clash with Duke University on Friday.
A proud graduate of the St Andrew’s Roman Catholic Primary School and the St Andrew’s Anglican Secondary School (SAASS), St Bernard leads the next generation of Grenadian basketball talent. He joins a growing movement of local athletes making their mark on the U.S. collegiate circuit.
The Kellon Baptiste Foundation Inc. supported Enel’s journey as he first honed his talent with them, and Clique Sports Management Group Inc. now manages his career.
Corporate Grenada is encouraged to support Enel’s journey through sponsorships and brand ambassadorships.
