CONWAY — It always comes down to slalom.
The Kennett High boys turned in a phenomenal showing in Monday afternoon’s slalom to erase a six-point deficit to Hanover following the GS to win the Division II Boys State Alpine Championship at Cranmore Resort. The win ends Hanover’s three-year hold on the title.
