CONWAY — The Kennett High boys’ lacrosse team came oh-so-close to a perfect start to the season last week. The Eagles went 2-1 in three games over three days and were unlucky not to come out with a clean sweep.
The hometown flock led Gilford 4-1 in the second half, but the Golden Eagles rallied to leave Conway with a 6-5 overtime victory last Wednesday.
