CONWAY — After scoring just four points in the first quarter and trailing by six heading into the fourth frame, the Kennett High girls’ basketball team came oh-so-close to pulling off a last-second win on the road at Merrimack Valley on Monday. The host Pride narrowly edged the girls from Conway 47-46.
Kennett got back in the win column on Wednesday with a 62-24 win in Northwood over Coe-Brown. The Eagles outscored their hosts 37-4 in the second half.
