Hendersonville’s girls tennis team showed Wednesday why it could make a run at a state 2A championship this season, handing Polk County a 9-0 setback at Polk.

The Wolverines opened their season with a loss, but head coach Richard Davis found much to like despite the defeat, noting a number of close matches throughout the lineup.

Polk County is currently playing with five players, one short of the minimum, and thus forfeited No. 6 singles and No. 3 doubles.

The Wolverines return to action on Tuesday, traveling to face East Rutherford.
