CONWAY — The Kennett High baseball team would like to remind Mother Nature that it’s time to play ball, and the weather has not been cooperative for America’s favorite pastime. The Eagles have been forced to spend more time indoors this spring than they would have liked. While the snow left early, rain has put a damper on things so far.
Coach Josh McAllister had two scrimmages and a jamboree lined up for his troops but was only able to get in a scrimmage against Inter-Lakes in Meredith. A scrimmage at Spaulding High School and a jamboree at Prospect Mountain were both lost to bad weather.
