“Great win for us which gets us to 4-0 in conference play,” said Polk County head coach Richard Davis. “Not much time to enjoy the victory as we travel to play an undefeated in the conference, Mountain Heritage. The winner of (Wednesday’s) match certainly will occupy the driver’s seat for the conference crown.
“I know that they are returning a fairly large crop of players from last year just as we are. I feel it’s going to come down to a couple of very close matches that could go either way to decide the winner.”
