Polk County's 2022 boys varsity soccer squad

Knights keep Wolverines in check for 6-0 triumph

1 min read

North Henderson earned its first win of the season Monday, holding Polk County in check for a 6-0 victory in non-conferene boys soccer play in G.M. Tennant Stadium.

The Knights (1-2-2), after coming to close to victories in ties against Hendersonville and Brevard, notched their first triumph with a relentess passing attack that produced a goal in the first two minutes and regular tallies throughout the rest of the evening.

Polk County (0-4) had a good chance at getting on the scoreboard late in the first half on a penalty kick, only to see Manny Albarran’s effort turned aside. An air horn blown from the North Henderson stands during the kick didn’t help matters.
