Polk County Middle continued its unbeaten season Wednesday, sweeping Hendersonville Middle 25-11, 25-17 on the road.
The Wolverines put the opening set away with a strong finish. Polk closed with six consecutive points, with Adalyn Painter at the service line for the final five, to complete the 25-11 victory.
Hendersonville offered more resistance in the second set, but Polk again created enough separation to finish the 25-17 win and complete the sweep.

“We are working on some new offensive and defensive strategies,” Polk Middle coach Kenny Hall said. “Otherwise this team just wants to keep working and get better every day.”
Before the match, Polk Middle’s players also provided an unexpected pregame moment. With Hendersonville’s public-address system unavailable, the Wolverines sang the national anthem themselves.
The victory improved Polk Middle to 8-0 overall and 7-0 in Blue Ridge Conference play.
Polk’s JV squad also won Wednesday, edging Hendersonville 25-23 in its one-set match. Match details weren’t available.
