For the second time in as many years, the Polk County High School football team will hold a midnight practice beginning just after midnight Monday morning at the high school.

We did this last year and had a real good response from the kids, said PCHS head coach Bruce Ollis.

The Wolverines began practice this past Monday in shorts and t-shirts. This coming Monday will be the first day N.C. teams are allowed to practice in full pads.

PCHS is preparing for a pair of jamborees next week. The Wolverine Jamboree is slated for Thursday at 7:30 p.m., at Polk County High School featuring PCHS, Asheville, Pisgah and East Rutherford.

The Wolverines then head to Shelby for the Border Showcase Football Classic VI at Shelby High Schools George Blanton Stadium at 7:30 p.m., Aug. 14.

In the Showcase, PCHS will face South Carolina Class 4A power Byrnes, and Shelby will face old-school rival Gaffney.

The Wolverine Jamboree will be carried on WJFJ 1160-AM radio and at www.WJFJradio.com as will the entire PCHS football season, which begins Aug. 20 at Tuscola.
