Polk put together a breakout campaign in her eighth-grade season with GAPPS 1A Division 2 Valor Christian. The Lions concluded with a 22-6 record and a state championship. Polk also earned All-State honors while averaging 10.5 points, 4.3 steals and 3.4 assists in the 27 games that she played. Polk stands at an even six feet and her skillset includes an accurate 3-point shot. Long-range accuracy may be her bread and butter but she has no problems dribbling the ball with her left hand, moving to her right and finishing strong at the cup with said left hand if necessary. Polk is also a heads-up player that can collect steals and turn defense into offense.
