CONWAY — In golf terms, the preseason for the Kennett High golf team has been a lot more like a chip shot than a long drive. The Eagles have had just a handful of days to prepare for the regular season, which opened at North Conway Country Club against Kingswood and St. Thomas on Aug. 23. The Eagles went 1-1 on the day.
KHS opened its preseason on Aug. 13.
