Bengals' defense comes up big

By J. Mike Blake, Sports Editor

CARY - Fuquay-Varina's defensive players knew what kind of season the Cary defense was having.

And that had some of them, well, defensive.

"All we've heard about is Cary High's defense," said junior defensive back Garrett Suggs. "We wanted to show them that we're one of the top areas in the area and that our defense is top-of-the-line."

The Bengals wasted little time in trying to prove just that.

Fuquay scored 13 points on their first two drives, then locked down the Imps' offense and never looked back in a crucial 19-8 Tri-Nine Conference victory Friday night.

Cary enjoyed great field position for most of the game and even outgained the Bengals by six yards. But Fuquay got stops when it needed to -- holding Cary to 0-for-5 on fourth-down conversions with all of them in or just outside the red zone.
