The Barton County Community College men’s basketball team had a chance to leave the Civic Center in Dodge City with a win, but for the 3rd straight year, came up just short. This time a Chris Jackson 3-pointer in the final seconds just skid off the iron for Barton as Dodge City held off Barton for a 76-74 Wednesday night. Barton was looking for its 3rd straight win but instead fell to 4-6 in the Jayhawk West and 16-7 overall this season. The Cougars trek won’t get an easier as two of the 3 teams leading the West will pay visits to the Barton Gym in the next week. Cloud County will be in Great Bend Saturday for the Cougars’ Homecoming.
