CONWAY — Sport is much more than about wins and losses. It’s about teammates forming friendships and bonds that last a lifetime. Such is the bond between two former Kennett High standouts Kelley Jon Scruggs and Danny Ryan.
Danny who lives in Dunbarton, is a former All-State, First-Team linebacker for the Eagles and a KHS graduate in 1990, and Kelley Jon, who lives in Tamworth, served as team manager of the football team from 1987-91, and again from 2009 until retiring last October, have been friends since they met in 1987. That friendship has only grown stronger over the years.
