CONWAY — With nine games in 12 days, the last thing you’d think the Kennett High ice hockey team wants to do is take another bus ride — but the Eagles do. If that happens, it means Kennett has continued its streak of consecutive playoff appearances. The hometown flock took a major step toward another bus ride on Monday afternoon when the Eagles beat visiting ConVal-Conant 5-1 in the battle for the ninth and final playoff spot in Division III.

“The playoffs unofficially started for us on Monday,” Michael Lane, Eagles’ head coach, said. “We all knew how important this one was.”
