CONWAY — Two games into the season and it’s apparent that teams facing the Kennett High boys’ basketball team this winter had better work on its man-to-man defense. If you don’t and you play zone, you’re going to be in for a long night because this collection of Eagles is more than capable of shooting the lights out.
KHS is off to a 2-0 start after nailing 14 of 22 three-point shots in a 68-60 opening night victory over Coe-Brown Northwood Academy (0-1) on the road in Northwood last Friday. On Tuesday, in the home opener, the Eagles buried seven three-pointers including four in the second quarter to blowout Laconia (1-1) 65-40.Â
