CONWAY — The Kennett High field hockey team closed the book on the regular season on Friday the same way the Eagles started it seven weeks earlier, by posting a shutout. KHS shutout Plymouth 1-0 at Centola Field for its 11th shutout of the season.
The win clinched the No. 3 seed in Division II and a first-round playoff bye for the Eagles, who went 12-2 this fall, outscoring their opponents 42-6.
