It was a Homecoming of sorts for the Barton Community College men’s basketball team – in Kalamazoo, Mich. that is.The Cougars closed out their non-conference and 2014 portion of the scheduled over the weekend at the Kalamazoo Christmas Classic with a pair of wins. In the process four Michigan natives were able to play in the home state. This gave the Cougars a rather large contingent of fans despite being several hours from home.Barton knocked off host Kalamazoo Valley Community College Friday night, 83-66, then returned to the floor Saturday afternoon for a 94-66 win over Kellogg Community College – another Michigan school.The game allowed freshmen Khalil Gracey, Tyrone Acuff, Damarco White, and Tyron Hamby to play in front of family and friends then head home with them for the Christmas season.
