DOVER — Turnovers and penalties led to the undoing of the Kennett High football team on the road under the lights against St. Thomas on Friday. The Saints took advantage of five turnovers by the Eagles, turning two of them into short scoring drives in a 13-7 win on homecoming weekend for the hosts.

“We definitely handed that game up on a plate,” Scott Stearns, Eagles’ head coach, said. “We hadn’t fumbled all year and we have five on Friday.”
