When North Putnam girl's basketball coach Curtis Lawrence looks out on the floor this season, he sees a lot of similarities to last year's squad in terms of faces and names. 
And, rightfully so, as the Cougars lost only one player from season. 

"What stands out from last year is the group of girls we have coming back. We only lost one senior from last year's team, so we have an experienced core group coming back," Lawrence told The Putnam County Post. 

And, Lawrence is back on the sidelines after resigning after last season, which saw North Putnam finish 10-13. He was hired back a few weeks before the season started. 
With Lawrence back, he will lean heavily on the play of senior guard/forward Lexi Daigle this season, as well as junior guard Rose Haste, senior guard Addi Osburn and junior guard Jacy Huffman. 
Senior guard Samie Hoops is coming back from a torn ACL, and Lawrence hopes to get her back during the season. 

"This is a very good group of girls to work with. We are making a few changes from last season, and they have adjusted well. Our goal is to be competitive in our games this season.  I don't like to put a number on wins.  This is going to be a team that competes night in and night out.  The results will take care of themselves," Lawrence admitted. .
