Following the Kennett High School boys swim team’s 120-43 win against Oxford Saturday at the Kennett YMCA, which clinched the Ches-Mont American Division title for the Blue Demons, Kennett head coach Cindy Millison reflected on what qualities made this team special.
Following the Unionville-Kennett swim meet Friday in front of a standing room only crowd at the Kennett YMCA, Longhorn head coach Mike Mangan reflected on the long rivalry between these two talented neighboring teams. “It’s like a sibling rivalry,” said Mangan. “It’s like an extended family, there’s a family aspect to it. I have a certain fondness for the Kennett senior class Gabe Summa and Julia Banker taught my twin daughters how to swim.” If Friday’s meet was a family gathering, then there was joy on both sides of the family the Longhorn girls won 108-62 and the Blue Demon boys prevailed 96-73.
