CONWAY — The holidays were good to the Kennett High girls’ basketball team. The Eagles spent much of the break on the road, making four trips in six days to Farmington, but it was well worth the trek as they won the prestigious 40th annual Mike Lee Holiday Bash basketball tournament.
KHS topped hosts Farmington 62-31 in the championship game on Monday afternoon to cap off a perfect 5-0 week. Aside from bringing home the trophy, senior Isabel Wrobleski and sophomore Maddie Stewart were named to the all-tourney team.
