Charlie Wagoner kept Rugby (0-6) at bay to record the shutout in goal.
“We did not do as much passing to adjust to the field, but we were very effective being more direct,” said Polk Middle head coach Lennox Charles. “We were able to get everyone on the field and they all did a good job.”
The Wolverines return to the pitch on Wednesday, traveling to Waynesville Middle.
