CONWAY — When you play great team defense and then shoot nearly 50 percent from the floor, you’re going to be tough to beat. Visiting Gilford ran into that combination when they visited the Kennett High girls’ basketball team on Tuesday night. The Eagles shot 48 percent from the floor and limited their guests to just nine second-half points while cruising to a comfortable 72-26 victory. Twelve KHS players scored in the win.

“The girls played really well, especially in the second half,” Larry Meader, Eagles’ head coach, said. “This group likes to be challenged, and they stepped up on the defensive end. When they decide to play defense, they’re among the best teams in the division.”
