Second-half surge lifts Polk Middle to 3-0 victory

Polk County Middle exploded for three second-half goals Wednesday to hand Madison Middle a 3-0 defeat in Blue Ridge Conference soccer action in Marshall.

Topher Pearson got the Wolverines (2-0) on the board first, scoring on a header after a pass from Cole Pereira. Evan Jones followed with a goal off a cross from Pearson before Madison’s defense redirected an Eno Baker cross into the net for an own goal.

Cade Bright notched a shutout in goal thanks in large part to the defense of Brian Bautista, Auston Ledford, Brandon Troyer and Freedom Moser, which didn’t allow a shot on goal.

Polk County Middle returns to action on Tuesday, hosting Madison Middle.
