Opposing ball carriers generally don't get far when Polk County's Fred Salerno (#60) bears down on them. This was the case on Monday, Sept. 28, when Salerno caught Madison's fine running quarterback Colby Edwards (#5). This evening the Wolverines take their Western Highlands Conference 1-0 mark to Burnsville, where they'll take on the Mountain Heritage Cougars. Opening kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

Mountain Heritage also most recently played on Sept. 28. The Cougars can score lots of points, but lost to Hendersonville, 48-44.

 

Polk quarterback Jamal Wheeler set three single-game school records against Madison, for his six touchdowns, 38 total points (two coming on a post-touchdown conversion run), and averaging 23.6 yards per carry. Mountain Heritage is 4-2 overall, and 0-1 in WHC action.
