Wednesday afternoon might have been the wrong day to play cards with members of Polk County Middle’s volleyball team.
The Wolverines had plenty of aces up their sleeves.
Polk Middle’s serving helped key a 25-10, 25-13 victory over visiting Canton Middle in a Blue Ridge Conference matchup.

The Wolverines (3-0) raced through the opening set, building a 13-5 lead on the strength of a Kenzie Alm service run, then closing with strong serving from Breelyn Morrison for the opening-set win.
Canton Middle (0-2) began adjusting to Polk Middle’s serving and led throughout the first part of the second set. But with the Bears up 11-8, Emily Dotson killed a free ball at the net, and then Arie Parmalee took over.
Parmalee ripped three straight aces to give the Wolverines the lead, then kept blasting aces, eventually taking Polk to a 16-11 advantage. Canton never recovered from that service run, with Polk closing the set on a 9-2 spurt to seal the match.
Polk Middle will be back in action on Tuesday, traveling to Apple Valley Middle for a 4:30 p.m. match.
