CONWAY — This year’s Kennett High girls’ lacrosse players are trailblazers for the sport on Eagles’ Way. After earning varsity status for the program last year, the Eagles saw their season stymied by COVID-19, which meant no games were played but the team was able to do skills and drills remotely with then-new Coach Jennifer Laine.

The hometown flock, like many of the spring sports teams at KHS was hit with a bout of COVID this spring, forcing the Eagles to quarantine for 10 days. KHS returned to practice last week, got in a day of training and then played host to Plymouth at Centola Field on April 20 in its first official varsity game. Despite not having a full squad due to coronavirus cohort quarantining, the Eagles gave the visiting Bobcats all they could handle for the first three quarters before the girls from Plymouth pulled away for the 14-8 win.
