The Barton Community College women’s basketball team didn’t waste any time against the McPherson junior varsity on Wednesday night at Kirkman Activity Center.The Lady Cougars jumped ahead 11-0 from the outset, and continued to pile on the points for a 98-58 win.Barton had 24 fast-break points, keeping the tempo up on offense throughout the majority of the game.“That’s what we want,” Barton head coach Carter Kruger said. “We talk about fast break everyday in practice because that’s the best time to score, when the defense hasn’t set. The more we can do that as the season goes, the better off we’ll be.”Along with the 11-0 run that started the game, the Lady Cougars had runs of 11-0, 13-0 and 8-0 with McPherson sprinkling in points here and there throughout the first half.Barton’s defense forced 22 turnovers in the first half alone, leading to 30 points off turnovers.“I take away our level of focus, our level of intensity on the defensive end,” Kruger said of the lopsided win.
