Polk County’s boys soccer team showed Smoky Mountain just how much can change in a week.
The Mustangs handed Polk County a 4-1 setback a week ago that kept the Wolverines winless. Polk responded to that loss with two straight wins, then battled Smoky Mountain to a 1-1 tie Wednesday in a non-conference match in G.M. Tennant Stadium.
Polk County (2-4-1) trailed 1-0 at the half thanks to a Genaro Carcamo goal in the 14th minute, but the Wolverines got the equalizer early in the second half, Luis Hernandez drilling home a pass from Dalton Osborn to make it 1-1.
