FORT MADISON – The Fort Madison Lady Hounds rolled to their third straight win with a 61-31 win over Danville in non-conference girls' action Monday night.

Fort Madison opened up a quick 16-5 lead in the first quarter and extended that to 29-11 at the half. Danville played a more respectable third period putting up 15, but then the Hounds clamped down again in the fourth holding the Bears (0-4) to just five points while getting some role players time off the bench.
Fort Madison improves to 3-1 on the year with the only loss coming in overtime to Ottumwa to start the season. They stand at 1-0 in the Southeast Conference tied with Burlington and Keokuk.
