CONWAY — It took a fallaway off-balanced three-point shot at the buzzer to end the Kennett High girls’ basketball team’s nine-game win streak on Monday night, but the Eagles quickly rebounded from the 33-32 home loss to Sanborn on Feb. 10, and have started a new streak, which reached two after a pair of wins over rivals Kingswood and Berlin.
KHS topped the Knights of Kingswood 38-22 at the Peter Ames Gymnasium on Tuesday, and then put the defensive clamp on Berlin on the road, winning 46-12.
