Polk County High School’s JV girls basketball team wrapped up their season in style with a win in the Western Highlands Conference tournament.
Coach Michelle Fagan said the team finished the season with 19-4 record.
“I believe this team was so successful this year because they practiced and played with a lot of intensity and heart. They have an outstanding work ethic, and I feel like the more they were challenged, the harder they would work/play,” Fagan said.
PCHS took down Madison with a hearty 63-14 win in the first game of the tournament. Top scorers included Brittany Jones with 19 points on the night, followed by Shea Wheeler and Brianna Dill, both with 8.
The Wolverine’s captured their second win of the tourney against Mitchell, winning 41-34. Amber Lynch was the top scorer with 12 points. Mackenzie White ended the game with 11.
PCHS didn’t make it easy on Mountain Heritage in the championship game either.
The girls won 52-33 with Lynch scoring 12 points, Katie Ruff sinking 10 and both Shea Wheeler and Brittany Jones pulling down 9 points each.
PCHS’ JV girls assistant coach is Mark Mazilli.
