Upper Lake High School varsity girls basketball head coach Mike Smith looks on along with player Jordann Gudmundson during a voluntary open gym workout Monday evening at the school’s gym. Even though Upper Lake lost an entire season to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cougars return all of their top players from the 2019-20 season when they finished 22-6, won the North Central League II championship and reached the NorCal playoffs. The team has lofty expectations for the upcoming 2021-22 campaign. (Photos by Brian Sumpter)
