CONWAY — The Kennett High football team traveled home from Wolfeboro after beating rival Kingswood 29-14 on Friday night with three things — the prestigious Carroll County Championship Trophy, bragging rights and the opportunity to host a Division II playoff game this week.
With the win, which lifted the Eagles to 7-2 on the season, the hometown flock landed in the No. 4 seed for the Division II playoffs. KHS will host fifth-seeded Hollis-Brookline (7-2) in the quarterfinals at Gary Millen Stadium this Saturday at 1 p.m.
