CONWAY — Things seem a lot more normal on the links this fall for the Kennett High golf team. KHS had a much shorter than usual season in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Eagles played just five regular-season matches over 20 days.
Due to the virus, it meant a later start to the season, an abbreviated schedule and a lot shorter bus rides. The New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association made this a fall with an open tournament, meaning everyone gets into the tournament.
