CONWAY — With just three letter winners returning, the Kennett High cross-country will feature several new faces on skin skis this winter, but Coach Scott Lajoie, who takes over the reins from Steve Vosburgh, is excited to see his team finally on snow and having fun.
Lajoie, who is in his 18th season with the Eagles, will be joined on the course by Vosburgh, who is back in the assistant coach role.
