The second round of the 4A NCHSAA tournament featured two teams from the Raleigh area going at it for a chance to make it to the elite eight. Millbrook, a perennial powerhouse was playing in their 14th straight second-round tournament game, and Fuquay Varina was in the tournament for the first time since 1996.
Darius Briley (2021 uncommitted) got Fuquay Varina going early with 9 first quarter points, and the Bengals finished the quarter on a 10-2 run to take an early 20-17 lead over Millbrook.
Foul trouble would be a factor in the game as 2021 Louisville commit Eric van der Heijden of Millbrook and Fuquay Varina
