CONWAY — The Kennett High girls’ lacrosse team is giving opposing defenses fits this season. Of the 14 teams in Division II, only Timberlane had scored more goals than the Eagles this spring.
KHS has outscored its opponents 69-51 through its first five games, yet finds itself with a 2-3 record heading into the April vacation. With just a break or two, the hometown flock could be 5-0.
