Barton
handed tough loss at Cloud, 61-58 Highlights After shooting an impressive 14-of-26 (54 percent) in the opening half, Barton connected on just 8-of-23 from the field in the 2nd stanza. That allowed Cloud County to overcome a 34-28 Barton halftime lead. The Thunderbirds weren’t exactly burning the nets in the 2nd 20 minutes of action either, hitting just 9-of-21 shots but 3-of-6 treys and 12-of-17 free throws were enough to make the difference. Barton hit just 8-of-16 from the charity line in the 2nd half. The Cougars held the lead for most of the contest. Cloud had just a couple 1-point leads late in the 1st half and then once at the 10-minute mark of the 2nd half. But the Cougars still lead by a 50-45 score Diogo Salazar hit 1-of-2 free throws with 7:34 to play in the game. The T-Birds would get the game’s next 11 points as Barton went scoreless for nearly 5 minutes of play. The Cougars turned the ball over 3 times and missed two shots during that stretch. Meanwhile Cloud converted nearly every possession. Only once did Cloud not score on its possession – twice the T-Birds missed shots but got offensive rebounds and eventually scored. That 11-0 gave Cloud a 56-50 lead with 3 minutes to play. The Cougars whittled it down to 3 points and when Cloud’s Keddric Mays missed a jumper with 7 seconds left and Caleb Tegtmeier grabbed the rebounded, the Cougars has one last chance to send the game to overtime – a place both games between Barton and Cloud went last year. Barrett took Tegtmeier’s outlet pass, drove to the 3-point line and gave a pump fake to get him open. Barrett then fired a good look at the bucket that fell just short. Barrett and Salazar each scored 14 points to pace the Cougars. Barton’s leading scorer, Antanas Kavaliauskas was held to 12 points and did not score in the 2nd half. The Cougars also played the contest without starting sophomore guard Aubrey Bruner, who sat at the end of the bench with a 103 temperature. Cloud was paced by Mays with 21 and Adam Volgelsberg with 15. Stats Next -30- Check out Barton County Basketball Online at www.bartonccc.edu/sports
