CONWAY — Hollis-Brookline went on an 8-0 run midway through the fourth quarter to take its first lead of the night and held on to beat the Kennett High girls’ basketball team 46-42 at the Peter Ames Gymnasium in the season-opener for both teams on Friday.

“They started to full-court press and we ran away from the ball instead of going towards it,” said Larry Meader, Eagles’ head coach. “We’re a young team, and, hopefully, we’ll learn from this and handle the press better.”
