CONWAY — While the numbers are down this fall, enthusiasm might be at an all-time high for the Kennett High girls’ soccer team. The Eagles are looking to make some noise in Division II on the pitch and have the talent to do it. This flock has its sights set on a playoff berth and is eyeing the program’s best record of 7-9, set by the 2006 team.
Kennett is scheduled to open the regular season at home under the lights in Gary Millen Stadium when rival Berlin (0-1 in Division III) comes to town on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.
