CONWAY — The Kennett High girls’ lacrosse team just wrapped up the most successful regular season in the program’s short six-year history, but this group of Eagles is far from done.
The hometown flock is back in the playoffs, and the Eagles, No. 6 seeds, will face a familiar foe on Thursday (5 p.m.) when they make the trek to Goffstown to play the third-seeded Grizzlies in the Division II quarterfinals.
