CONWAY — Here’s one for all you trivia fans: when was the last time two members of the Kennett High girls’ basketball team scored twice as many points as the opposing team?
It had never happened — until Sunday. The Eagles dominated Epping 65-7 in the opening round of the 42nd annual Mike Lee Holiday Basketball Bash in Farmington. Juniors Hope Elias and Kaylee McLellan both scored 14 points in the win in limited playing time, each doubling the output of the Blue Devils.
