CONWAY — Kelley Jon Scruggs, the longest-serving member of the Kennett High football team, is retiring after more than three decades on the sidelines for the Eagles. Kelley Jon will be honored at halftime of Friday’s home game against Plymouth. It's homecoming weekend for the Eagles. The kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Kelley Jon, 50, who lives in Tamworth, loves people, loves to compete and loves to dance. Aside from a heart of gold, he bleeds black and white, and always will. He served as team manager from 1987-91, and again since 2009.
