The Tuscola Mountaineers will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Polk County Wolverines at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Tuscola is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They had to suffer through a 42-6 loss at the hands of Asheville. The Mountaineers were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 29-0.
Meanwhile, Polk County can finally bid farewell to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season thanks to their game on Friday. They took their match on the road with ease, bagging a 30-0 win over Madison.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Polk County to victory, but perhaps none more so than Donte Tingling, who rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries. The team also got some help courtesy of Loreynzo Sanchez, who rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown.
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.
Tuscola didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Polk County in their previous matchup back in August of 2023, but they still walked away with a 29-23 victory. Will Tuscola repeat their success, or does Polk County have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
