Cougars dominate the paint in 66-57 victory over Cloud County

It wasn’t an award winning style point performance for the Barton Community College men’s basketball team but the Cougars dominated the paint Wednesday night at the Barton Gym earning a 66-57 win over Cloud County Community College. The Cougars’ twenty rebound advantage aided by a near 89% effort from the free throw line kept the T-birds at arm’s length as Barton led wire-to-wire in snapping a three game slide. Improving to 9-7 in conference play and 18-11 on the season the Cougars jumped back into fifth place in the standings while Cloud County sinks to 2-15 in the Jayhawk and 9-19 overall. Barton will next play its final regular season contest this Saturday traveling to No. 7 ranked Hutchinson Community College for a 7:30 p.m. tip at the Sports Arena. The Cougars will begin Region VI tournament action on Thursday, February 25, on their home court against an opponent yet to be determined.

Barton men drop conference battle of polar opposites

It’s said defense wins championships but at least in Saturday’s matchup in The Greenhouse, a hot shooting club and turnovers overrode the defensive effort as the Barton Community College men’s basketball team couldn’t contain the Saints in Seward County Community College’s 86-82 victory. The Cougars, one of the top defensive teams in the Jayhawk, not only turned the ball over a season high times but failed to hold the Saints’ top rated offense under 50% shooting for the second time this season. Getting some help in other conference results, the third straight loss only dropped the Cougars one spot in the standings at 9-8 and 17-11 while Seward County leap frogged Barton into fifth place at 8-7 and 18-8 on the season. Still controlling its destiny to host a first round region playoff game, Barton will play its final regular season home contest this coming Wednesday against Cloud County Community College. Tip-off is slated for 7:30 p.m. or twenty-minutes after the conclusion of sophomore recognition taking place between the women’s and men’s contests.
