It took a while for the Barton Community College women’s basketball team to get things going Tuesday night but in the end it was an easy win for the Cougars. Barton returned home for the first time in five games and rolled to an 88-59 win over the Sterling JV at the Barton Gym.
The win was the sixth straight for the Cougars who now stand at 6-1 on the season.
“We didn’t get off to a good start, so that was disappointing,” Coach Carter Kruger said. “Honestly, the final score is the last thing I am worried about...it’s more about how we play than anything.”
Barton wasn’t able to shake the Warriors leading by single digits for most of the opening half. The Cougars were able to push the lead to double figures by intermission, leading 36-25.
But a quick start the second half took what little suspense was left in the game out of it. Barton went on a 13-2 run over the first five minutes of the second half to give Cougars a 49-27 lead. Barton got the lead over 30 by the midway point of the half as Barton outscored the Sterling JV 52-34 in the final 20 minutes of the game.
Indiah Cauley provided a spark off the bench for Barton scoring 11 second points as Barton pulled away. Phikala Anthony grabbed eight rebounds to pace the Cougars.
“We were sloppy and not aggressive offensively in the first half and our defense wasn’t very sharp or intense” Coach Kruger said. “Once we picked up defensively in the second half we had a burst of easy baskets.”
For the Cougars playing their third game in five days should help them down the road.
“It was good for our team to get another win in such a short period of time,” Coach Kruger said. “Playing three games in five days is something that we will have to do once our conference season hits, so it was a good experience.”

ARKANSAS CITY -- The Barton Cougar baseball team scored early and often plating 11 of its runs over the first four innings to upset No. 3 Cowley College 12-8 on Tuesday. The Cougars (21-8) have won four in a row over the Tigers (23-7). Barton plays Jayhawk West leader Colby at 1 p.m. Thursday at Lawson-Biggs Field. The Cougars travel to Colby Sunday. Tyler Janssen led the Cougars balanced offensive attack providing three of the Cougars six extra base hits on the afternoon, finishing 3-for-5 and single shy of the cycle. The freshman drove in four runs highlighted behind his fourth-inning three-run round tripper for his fourth of the year. Eight of Barton's nine in the lineup furnished a hit with Janssen being joined by Kyle Graves 3-for-6 day at the plate and RBI, as the duo combined for six of the Cougars 14 hits on the afternoon. Kyle Walker was second in runs produced, driving in two of his three runs during Barton's four run top of the second frame, finishing 2-for-5 at the dish with a walk. Rounding out the Cougars' multi-RBI performances was Ayden Hadley and Wyatt Yetter, each driving in two runs apiece. Hadley distributed his pair with a first inning double while Yetter added the final run of a three-run first on a groundout followed by a leadoff fourth inning blast for his first big fly of the season. Despite finishing 0-for-1 at the plate, Barrett Donaldson generated three of Barton's nine walks created with a run scored. Braden Hauschel earned a no-decision in his one-inning of work allowing three runs on two hits with a walk and strikeout. Eli Lang (1-0) notched his first collegiate victory tossing 4.1-innings in relief scattering seven hits and three runs with Landon Haines getting the final two outs of the sixth allowing one hit with a stirkeout. Andrew McCarthy tossed a scoreless seventh with a strikeout while operating around a pair of walks. Cade Kunz handled the eighth yielding two runs on a hit and collected a strikeout before handing off to Preston Golden for the ninth, as the sophomore locked it down
