Off night sends Lady Cougars to home loss versus Cloud County
In an uncharacteristic “off night” performance, the Barton Community College women’s basketball team took a beating by Cloud County Community College 81-40 Saturday night at the Barton Gym. As frigid from the field as Barton was on the night shooting a season low 25% from the field, Cloud County was the flip side of the pillow connecting on 54% of their shots including beating the Lady Cougars down the floor for a twenty-point transition advantage. Firmly in the seventh spot of the conference standings, Barton drops to 11-12 in the Jayhawk and 14-13 overall while Cloud County keeps in the mix to move up from their sixth spot in the standings improving to 15-8 and 18-8 on the year. With three remaining games left of the regular season, Barton plays the first of two home games left on the schedule this Wednesday in a 5:30 p.m. tip hosting Pratt Community College
