CONWAY — In a battle of two heavyweights of Division II football, South Division Milford (5-1) bludgeoned the North Division Kennett High Eagles (5-1) on Friday night at Millen Stadium, en route to a commanding 35-7 halftime lead. The Eagles regrouped at halftime to play a much improved second half, but the four-touchdown halftime deficit was too much to make up for in the final 42-21 loss.
Simply put, Coach Vaughn Beckwith summarized the Eagles defensive woes in becoming the third consecutive victim of a Milford 40-plus point scoring offensive: "They were big, they were physical and we didn't execute our defensive plan very well."
