CONWAY — As the two-time state (and national) defending champions in high school ski jumping, the Eagles have a target on their back.

According to Kennett High Coach Chip Henry, whenever asked their goals for the season, rival Plymouth and Hanover jumpers say, "to beat Kennett." Based on the Pre-State results of last Feb. 6, a veteran Hanover roster looks to be the favorite. In action on the Plymouth home jump, the same site as this Thursday's scheduled State Championship meet (6 p.m.).
