CONWAY — Plymouth cashed in with two touchdowns in the final 10 minutes on Saturday to erase a 20-7 Kennett High lead at Gary Millen Stadium and leave town with a 21-20 victory over the Eagles on senior night for Kennett’s 13 seniors.
“We had them for three quarters,” said Vaughn Beckwith, Eagles’ head coach, by phone on Sunday. “I said at halftime if we can score one more time it’s over, but we never scored again, and Plymouth, to its credit, won the turnover battle 3-0. Those turnovers in the fourth quarter really hurt us and put us in a tough spot.”
