CONWAY — It’s all about how the Eagles receive serve. That’s how Coach Craig Bartolomei sums up the fortunes of the Kennett High volleyball this fall. If the team does a good job receiving and can make plays, the hometown flock will be competitive.
“It’s tough to tell how the season will play out but if we receive well, we will be able to compete with a number of teams,” Bartolomei said.
