CONCORD — The Kennett High boys’ basketball team gave Division III defending state champs Pembroke Academy all it could handle before the host Spartans pulled out a 62-52 victory in the opening round of the Division II playoffs in Concord last Tuesday.
“Credit to them, they’re the champs,” said Bo Noung, Eagles’ head coach. “We allowed too many threes, 12 of them, and that was the difference in the game.”
