Cougars drop road conference game to Dodge City

The Barton Community College men’s basketball team finished the week 0-2 in conference play as Dodge City defeated the Cougars 91-86 Saturday night at Dodge City. Despite outscoring the Conquistadors 51-47 in the second half, Dodge’s nine point halftime lead was too much for the Cougars to overcome. With the loss Barton drops to 14-2 on the season while Dodge City improves to 14-2 and 2-0 in conference play. The Cougars will look to get a win in the young conference season as they host Garden City on Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. After an opening the conference season with a victory over Butler CC, Garden lost at home this past Saturday to No. 10 Hutchinson 81-72.
