Polk County Middle School ran its winning streak to four games with a win Monday at Asheville Christian Academy.
The Wolverines earned a 25-15, 25-19 win to improve their record to 6-1 heading into Wednesday’s match at Brevard Middle School. Brevard also enters that match with a 6-1 record and knocked off defending Blue Ridge Middle School Conference champion Rugby earlier this season.
“ACA is much improved from our last match against them at the preseason jamboree, but I and the girls expected us to have a better effort against them,” said Polk Middle head coach Matthew Russell. “We had a tough practice Tuesday focusing on communication, movement and pressure situations and I hope it pays off in (Wednesday’s) game against Brevard.

“The girls played great and serves were on,” Russell said. “Grace Lauer ran off eight points in a row while serving including four aces.”
