CONWAY — Defending state champs Lebanon are in no hurry to give up its Division II boy’s tennis crown. Unfortunately, Kennett High, the No. 7 seed, drew the Red Raiders, the No. 2 seed, in the opening round of this year's tournament last Thursday. The Eagles put up a game effort on the road but fell 7-2.

“It was a very tough opponent given the quality of their No. 1 (Mason Arado) and No. 2 (Nolan Arado),” said Jason Cicero, Eagles’ head coach. “They are brothers and the younger player would be a No. 1 on most other teams.”
