CONWAY — Young, but talented and with a world of potential is the best way to describe the 2021-22 Kennett High hockey team. There is a record 23 boys out for the team this year including a whopping 15 freshmen.
While it might take a little while for the Eagles to gel, they’ll face two of the top teams in Division III right out of the gate. Wednesday, KHS is scheduled to travel to Notre Dame Arena to play two-time state champions Berlin at 6 p.m.
