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.

Last minute three-pointer knocks off Cougars

The one that got away seems to be an all too familiar theme with this year’s Barton Community College men’s basketball team as the Cougars’ struggles at home continued dropping a 74-71 battle to Dodge City Community College. Having snuck out with victories in its past two games, the Cougars led for most of Saturday’s Hall of Fame night’s contest but a three-point in the final minute proved the difference in the Conquistadors stealing their first victory at the Barton Gym since 2008. The loss flip-flopped Barton and Dodge City in the conference standings dropping the Cougars to fifth at 9-6 and 17-9 on the season while the Conquistadors jumped into the fourth slot at 9-5 and 18-7. Next up for the Cougars will be a two-game road stretch beginning with Wednesday’s 8:00 p.m. tip-off at Colby Community College before next Saturday’s trip to Seward County Community College. Barton’s next and final home game will come Wednesday, February 17, against Cloud County Community College.
