Canton Middle spoiled the season opener Monday for Polk County Middle, handing the Wolverines a 37-14 setback in Blue Ridge Conference boys basketball action at Polk.
Key action: Polk’s Ross Dow opened the game with a 3-pointer, but the Wolverines wouldn’t score again until 32 seconds remained in the second period. Canton built a 17-3 lead by that point and led 18-7 at half.
The Wolversines fought back within 10, 21-11, on a David Duffy basket with 4:19 left in the third period. That would be as close as Polk would get.
