CONWAY — The Kennett High cross-country team has gotten creative with a slow start to winter and not much help from Mother Nature.
Coach Steve Vosburgh and his troops have been making the most of the white stuff wherever they can find it. For a week, the Eagles broke out their rock skis and traversed on smatterings of snow and mostly ice on the new Conway Rec Path trails at the high school. Skate skiing was not an option then, but the fresh six inches of powder on Saturday was a welcome sight.
