CONWAY — The Kennett High ski jumping team is rounding into form at the perfect time. The Eagles had a week to remember, beating four-time defending state champs Hanover twice in the span of three days.
Coach Chip Henry’s Flight Squad soared to victory in Plymouth on Wednesday night and then did it again on Friday in its lone home meet at the Chip Henry Ski Jump on the Kancamagus Highway in Albany.
