CONWAY — The Kennett High girls’ soccer team is in uncharted territory this late into the season. As of Monday, the Eagles sat firmly in fifth place in the Division II standings after an impressive 1-0 homecoming win over Oyster River on Saturday, following a 1-1 draw against St. Thomas at the Covered Bridge Field last Tuesday.
KHS is 5-2-3 and unbeaten in its last six matches, a school record for the program.
