Fort Madison High School girls basketball coach Tony Sargent likes the team he finally got to put on the court this year.
The Bloodhounds took a two-week hiatus soon after practice started when the school went to all online learning.
FMHS has had some close games already, including a loss to Mount Pleasant, but Sargent said his team will start putting things together soon.
The Hounds went 8-14 last year and lost starters Anna Lester and Sarah Bernhardt as well as Dalyn Wondra.
A solid group returns. Leading scorer Camille Kruse is back as a sophomore. She had 232 points last year. Senior Brandy Walker was the second-leading scorer with 186 last season and was also the top rebounder with 146 from the post position.
