CONWAY — Youth is being served this winter on the hardwood for the Kennett High girls’ basketball team. There are only 16 girls participating in the program this winter, and 10 of them are freshmen.
“We’re incredibly young,” Julia Quinn, who is in her second year at the helm of the varsity program, said on Friday. “We have one senior, two juniors, two sophomores and 10 freshmen.”
