CONWAY — With a host of talent returning a large infusion of underclassmen out, the Kennett High girls’ and boys’ alpine teams are looking forward to another successful winter on the slopes. Plus, the Eagles will play hosts to the state championships for the boys and girls at Cranmore Mountain Resort, making the hometown flocks arguably the teams to beat for the crown.
Coaches Laurel Zengilowski and Ed Bradley are thrilled to have 31 Eagles out for alpine this winter (16 girls and 15 boys).
