CONWAY — The Kennett High girls’ basketball team (13-6) made sure that history didn’t repeat itself on Wednesday night. Four years ago, the Eagles hosted John Stark in the opening round of the Division II tournament, and the Generals from Weare pulled off the 48-36 upset.

John Stark (11-8), the No. 9 seeds, were in upset mode again at the Peter Ames Gymnasium on Wednesday and led by two at halftime, but the Eagles opened the third quarter on an 8-0 run and never looked back, winning 45-40 to punch their ticket to the Elite Eight.
