Its going to be a cold one in Hendersonville on Friday tonight when the Polk County football team comes to town with their eyes all over another Western Highlands Conference championship. That cold air will mean nothing to the red hot Wolverines who want to not only beat their rival, but win a championship in the process.

A win tonight guarantees the Wolverines at least a share of the conference title. If Madison can knock off Mountain Heritage tonight, the Wolverines would be outright champions, but that is not in Polks control. What is in the Wolverines control is an athletic Bearcat team.

Hendersonville is its usual athletic, physical self, Polk coach Bruce Ollis said.

Offensively they are showcasing a very talented quarterback (Desmond Whitesides) in the shotgun and they have big play potential in the vertical passing game, he said.

The Bearcats use Whitesides the same way Polk uses quarterback Andre Overholt.

Defensively, they return a lot of starters, Ollis said, including last years conference Defensive Player of the Year Lequon Young.

They are a very well-rounded team that is undefeated at home this season, Ollis said.

Itll take a complete game on both offense and defense for the Wolverines tonight and the Wolverines have had plenty of those this season.

In the end it just comes down the Wolverines weekly slogan Practice and play like Western Highlands Conference champions.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. in Hendersonville.
