CONWAY — Where’s instant replay when you need it?
That's what Kennett High fans, players and coaches were clamoring for after junior Cooper Coleman appeared to score the game-winning two-point conversion in overtime against ConVal in the season-opener in Peterborough. Game officials gathered for more than a minute debating the call before announcing Coleman fell just short of the goal line, giving the host Cougars a 21-20 victory on Friday night.
