CONWAY — It was a tale of two halves for the Kennett High girls’ basketball team on Thursday night when the Eagles made the long trek to Kingston to play Sanborn. The hometown flock looked sluggish in the first half, allowing the Indians 28 points, which was more than they had been holding teams for entire games (27.5 points on average). In the second half, KHS put the clamps on their hosts and ended up cruising to a comfortable 64-43 victory.

The win lifted Kennett to 12-0 on the season and keeps it atop the Division II standings with Lebanon (12-0). The Eagles and Raiders are among just five teams out of 87 high school teams in the Granite State undefeated.
