CONWAY — The Kennett High girls’ tennis team served a little notice last week to its Division II opponents — when at full strength, the Eagles are a solid squad. The Eagles swept a home-and-home series from Carroll County rival Kingswood, winning 2-2 at the Jon C. Judge Tennis Park on May 3, and then scored an 8-1 victory over the Knights in Wolfeboro on Thursday.

While the Eagles had a full lineup on the hard courts, they had a couple of new faces on the sidelines filling in for Coach Duncan Yarworth, who needed to quarantine as part of a close COVID-19 cohort. Kennett Athletic Director Neal Weaver took over the coaching duties in Conway, while Steve Piotrow, the boys’ tennis assistant coach, grabbed the reins in Wolfeboro.
