CONWAY — While the 2019 Kennett High boys’ soccer team tripled its win total from the previous year, the Eagles fell short of their goal of playing in the postseason this fall.
The Eagles went 3-13 (went 1-14-1 in 2018) to finish 15th overall in 18-team Division II standing. Under the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association, 70 percent of the teams in a division qualify for the playoffs. The top 12 teams this fall qualified for the tournament.
