CONWAY — Someone forgot to tell Mother Nature that we play spring sports in northern New Hampshire. The weather has been the big story this spring for the Kennett High boys’ tennis team. The Eagles finally have all six of their home courts at the Jon C. Judge Tennis Complex free of snow. The nets for all of them went up last Friday after the Eagles played their first regular-season match.
Kennett had been scheduled to open the season at home on April 4 against rival Kingswood but has just two courts available. That match has been rescheduled to May 1.
