CONWAY — Basketball referees may not see everything that happens on the court but they saw enough of Kennett High junior Liz Cote to name her the 2018-19 recipient of the prestigious John E. Burke Sportsmanship Award. Only one girl and one boy in the Granite State are bestowed this honor each year.

Cote, with her mom, Lisa, and dad, Steve, on hand along with Coach Larry Meader and KHS Athletic Director Neal Weaver were at Kennett High on Thursday when Dennis Ordway of Bow, representing the N.H. Basketball Officials Association, came to school to make the presentation.
