The Polk JV Men’s basketball team won a scrappy game against E. Henderson 50-38 at home Wednesday, Nov. 30.

JV Coach Brian Taylor was proud of his team’s effort but felt the game got a bit out of hand with a technical called and quite a bit of back and forth between players.

“We out hustled them and got after it,” Taylor said. “Things got a bit out of hand at times but we just had to settle the guys down and get them to focus on what they had to do to win the game.”

Both teams left the court at halftime having sent each other to the foul line almost a dozen times apiece. These foul line trips included shots on the basket for sophomore Wes Brady after a technical was called against E. Henderson.

Brady sunk all four shots given to him and ended the night with 11 total points.

Hitting the net most for Polk was Jordan Smith with 16 points, followed by Donte Posten with 11.

“That was our first win so we’re proud to get that tonight,” Taylor said.

The JV Wolverines were 5-15 on the season last year and currently have one loss and one win under their belts. The team hopes to fight hard for another victory against Landrum tonight at home.
