MANCHESTER — Heading into the last game of the regular season, the Kennett High football team has a lot to play for — a winning record, a trophy, bragging rights and a playoff berth.
Kennett kept all its preseason goals alive thanks to a 27-15 victory on the road against Trinity in Manchester last Friday.
