CONWAY — There’s no place like home.
The Kennett High field hockey team capped off an undefeated season in style by winning the school’s second state championship in the sport on Sunday with a thrilling 2-0 victory over previously unbeaten Souhegan at Centola Field. Senior Kathryn Hawkes scored both KHS goals with successful penalty stroke conversions in each half to make it the Eagles’ Day on Eagles’ Way.
