East Henderson’s Brewer brothers once again delivered too much firepower for Polk County.

Caiden Brewer scored 28 points and Jaylin Brewer added 14 Wednesday to lead the undefeated Eagles to a 74-45 victory over the Wolverines in Flat Rock.

East Henderson (5-0) completed a season sweep of Polk (1-4) thanks in large part to a 20-6 run in the third quarter, that surge fueled by Caiden Brewer’s 11 points. Polk trailed by just 11 at the half before the third-period spurt firmly tipped the game in East’s favor.
