CONWAY — While not the start the Kennett High football team was hoping for on opening night last Friday, the Eagles will look to build on the positives moving forward. The goal remains the same for the hometown flock — get into the playoffs.
KHS fell 20-14 to ConVal in Gary Millen Stadium before a good-sized crowd. The Eagles shut out the Cougars in the second half.
