CONWAY — In its best season performance, the Kennett High football team came from behind to beat Bow 31-28 in Gary Millen Stadium on Friday night before a great crowd. The win keeps the Eagles in the Division II playoff chase and also marked the first time the hometown flock has beaten the Falcons.
“We’re still alive,” Scott Stearns, Eagles’ head coach, said. “This was a huge, huge win for us.”
