CONWAY — Seven is the magic number for the Kennett High baseball team this spring. Coach Josh McAllister believes if his Eagles can score seven runs a game they’re going to win most of their games.
“That’s the goal,” McAllister said. “Our target as a team is one run an inning. If we score seven runs over seven innings, we’re going to win more than we lose.”
