Being a first year program, the Barton wrestling team is looking for progress. The Cougars showed that for sure Tuesday night at the Barton Gym.Barton split a pair of duals, blanking Northwest Kansas Tech and losing a close match with Pratt. The Cougars beat Northwest Tech, 36-0, and lost to Pratt, thanks in part to a pair of open weights, 25-19.The blanking of Northwest Tech is a big turnaround from a 19-18 loss to the same Mavericks earlier in the year at Goodland.Against Pratt, a team ranked in the Top 20 earlier in the year and currently just outside the top 20, Barton went match for match with the Beavers.
