WEARE — Nobody tied more matches in Division II this season, so it seemed fitting that the Kennett High and John Stark girls’ soccer teams would tie a record seventh match in the regular-season finale in Weare last Thursday. The contest ended in a 1-1 draw.
The tie moved Kennett to 3-6-7 in Division II, while John Stark ended the regular season at 7-2-7 and secured the No. 5 seed and a first-round bye in the playoffs, which begin Wednesday.
