CONWAY — It’s a wonder anyone has any fingernails left if they attend a Kennett High boys’ basketball game. The Eagles have played more than their share of nail-biters this winter, and Thursday went into overtime for the fourth time this season, where they are a perfect four-for-four in the win column. KHS rallied from an 8-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat Laconia in an overtime thriller 62-59 at Peter Ames Gymnasium sending fans of the hometown flock home with smiles on their face but emotionally drained.
“It’s the way they like it,” Coach Jack Loynd said following the win. “(Laughing) I don’t think anyone who knows our basketball team doesn’t know why I have high blood pressure.”
