Monday’s Blue Ridge Conference Tournament final did not end as Polk County Middle would have preferred.

But the 25-12, 25-14 loss to Macon Middle did nothing to spoil the outstanding season the Wolverines had.

“This is a great bunch of 8th graders and we’re gonna miss coaching them,” said Polk Middle head coach Kenny Hall. “They’ve had a great season and should be proud of being division champs.”
