Fuquay-Varina, N.C. Nobody on the court for the Fuquay-Varina Bengals on Monday night was alive the last time the program qualified for the state playoffs.
But on Monday night in their temporary home at Willow Spring high, the 2021 Bengals made a major down payment on a playoff spot and proved that they have the potential to see it through.
The No. 25 Bengals toppled the No. 13 Heritage Huskies 69-68 in an overtime game packed with excitement and lead changes.
The game only got to overtime in the first place because junior wing Mayar Wol converted a heave from just inside the half-court line that clanked in off the backboard as time expired.
