CONWAY — Only one of the top four seeds in the Division II football playoff was victorious on Saturday. Unfortunately, Kennett, the No. 4 seed, joined No. 2 Milford and No. 3 Pelham on the short end of the scoreboard and saw their seasons come to an abrupt end.
The Eagles fumbled the football the first two times they touched it and visiting Hollis-Brookline, the No. 5 seeds, capitalized on every opportunity that fell its way. Jumping out to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter, the Cavaliers cruised to a 49-21 victory at Gary Millen Stadium before a large, enthusiastic crowd.
