CONWAY — It’s a new era for the Kennett High boys’ lacrosse team. The Eagles are moving from Division II to Division III, and being able to play a more regionalized schedule will be a welcome sight to fans of the hometown flock.
No team in Division II logged more bus miles than KHS over the past decade.
