The ninth-seeded Bengals prevailed against number eight seed, Green Hope with their largest point output (71 points) of the season.

Tarek Behairy led the way for Fuquay with 15 points and Dominique Byrd scored 14. Isaac Daniel hit for 10 points against the Falcons.

The reward for Monday night’s win was a date at top-seeded Apex (19-4, 15-1) on Tuesday night after press time. The Bengals would have to win the Tri-9 tournament, which would require four wins this week, to advance to the 4A state playoffs.
