The Polk County Wolverines will take on the Tuscola Mountaineers at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Tuscola took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Polk County, who comes in off a win.
While Wolverines fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. They blew past Madison, posting a 30-0 victory on the road. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Wolverines as it put an end to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Polk County's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Donte Tingling led the charge by rushing for 100 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries. Polk County also got a significant boost from Loreynzo Sanchez, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 90 yards.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Polk County's defense and their ten sacks. Aaron Dickey led the group effort, picking up four of those sacks all by himself.
Meanwhile, Tuscola was beaten by Asheville 42-6 on Friday. The Mountaineers have struggled against the Cougars recently, as their game on Friday was their third consecutive lost matchup.
Polk County came up short against Tuscola in their previous meeting back in August of 2023, falling 29-23. Thankfully for Polk County, Jed West (who threw for 178 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 76 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries) won't be suiting up this time.
