CONWAY — The Kennett High School Athletic Department was able to successfully hold a COVID-19 variation of its annual Fall Sports Awards last Tuesday (Nov. 10) before a small socially distanced audience in Loynd Auditorium.
Only the major award winners and their families along with coaches, trainer Colby Locke and the media were able to attend the 45-minute ceremony. Everyone had assigned seating, wore masks and spread out throughout the auditorium.
