CONWAY — It was a night of first for the Kennett High hockey team when it hosted rival Kingswood at the Ham Arena on Saturday. The game marked the smallest lineup Coach Michael Lane has had in his 14-year career at the helm of the hometown flock with just nine skaters and two goalies, but it worked out as the Eagles exploded for four unanswered third-period goals to top the Knights 5-2. The other first came off the stick of sophomore Noah Keefe, who netted his first career goal, and it proved to be the game-winner.

It was a good night of end-to-end non-stop hockey between the lone high schools in Carroll County. The two schools were quite familiar with each other having skated to a 2-2 overtime tie just two nights earlier at the Pop Whalen Arena in Wolfeboro.
