CONWAY — After being stymied offensively through the first three weeks, the Kennett High football team clicked on all cylinders last Saturday at Merrimack Valley’s expense. The Eagles rolled over the Pride 42-21 in Penacook in a game that was never close.
“We played really well,” said Coach Vaughn Beckwith. “I think we’re kind of figuring things out offensively. Saturday was the first game that we’ve had all the starters on the field since our second preseason game (in late August).”
