Barton
lets contest slip away at Hutch Highlights The sword in the side for the Cougars was the 3-point shooting of the Blue Dragons. Hutch shot 7-of-14 on 3-pointers in the opening half to stay close to Barton. The Blue Dragons only had 10 total 1st half field goals. For the contest, Hutchinson knocked down 11-of-22 3-pointers in the contest led by a Michael Williams 5-of-6 effort. That allowed Williams to tie a career-high with 23 points. The dagger to the Cougars was driven by Durrall Peterson in the game’s final minute. Hutch clung to a 69-67 lead with the shot clocking winding down when Peterson pulled up and hit a long trey from beyond the top of they key to give the Blue Dragons a 72-67 lead with 35 seconds to play. Barton was led by Antanas Kavaliauskas with 22 points on 10-of-13 shooting from the floor. The 6-11 post hit 5-of-7 1st half shots and 5-of-6 2nd half shots in 37 minutes of play. Marcus Barrett added 15 points – 11 in the 1st half – and Adam Hrycaniuk added 10 off the bench as well. The Cougars lost for the 1st time this season when they shot at least 50 percent from the field, hitting exactly 50 percent on 24-of-48 shooting.
