Early Landrum flurry stymies Polk JVs in road loss

1 min read

Landrum’s first-quarter flurry set the stage Friday for the Cardinals to hand Polk County’s junior varsity a 50-30 defeat in Landrum.

The Cardinals (2-0) opened the game with a 17-3 run, with Maddox Brown hitting three 3-pointers in that surge. Brown finished with 15 points on five threes.

Polk County (0-6) largely kept pace the rest of the way with Landrum, but could never overcome the early deficit.
