WILLOW SPRING, N.C. Without its star running back, Holly Springs offense found a spark in the second half and broke a 7-7 halftime tie with Fuquay-Varina to claim a key South Wake Athletic Conference win.
Holly Springs scored three touchdowns in the second half en route to a 28-13 win over the Bengals.
The Golden Hawks played the second half without running back Derek Coombs, who was sidelined with an injury.
With the two teams tied at 7-7 in the third quarter, Holly Springs quarterback Brock Wills found Tyler Griffin for the go-ahead touchdown. That put the Hawks on top 14-7, and they never trailed again after that point.
