Greyhounds Gettin' Ready

Fort Scott head men's basketball coach Michael Cook (white T-shirt) gives instructions to Mabor Gabriel, Manchester, N.H., as Jaylynne McCormack, Pittsburg, listens in during a recent practice. The Greyhounds' season begins November 1 on the first night of the Barton Classic against the host Cougars. The Greyhounds recently competed in a pre-season jamboree at the University of Central Missouri. Cook said that "The scrimmage went well. We're trying to develop a deeper bench. So our starters didn't play the second half of the scrimmage games." (Floyd Jernigan/Tribune)
