CONWAY — The Kennett High boys’ soccer team heads into an important part of its season over the next two weeks as it faces several longtime rivals and needs to secure some wins if it wants to be playing playoff soccer next month.
The Eagles, who are off to a 3-5 start following a impressive 3-2 at Plymouth on Tuesday, are scheduled to travel to Laconia (1-4-1) this Saturday (11 a.m.) and then are slated to travel north through Pinkham Notch to meet Berlin (4-3 in Division III) for the second time this season on Sept. 27 (3:30 p.m.).
