NORTHWOOD — The Coe-Brown-Northwood Academy boys’ basketball team jumped out to a 27-14 first-half lead and never looked back in the Bears 59-40 first-round victory over Kennett High in the Division II playoffs last Tuesday.
The No. 5 seeds led from wire-to-wire against the No. 12 seeds from Conway.
