Opening the second half on a 24-2 run, the Barton Community College men’s basketball team cruised to a 78-56 victory over Pratt Community College Saturday at the Barton Gym. Leading by fourteen at half, Barton built their lead to thirty-seven points in the first eight minutes of the second half to send the sophomore members of the team to victory in their last regular home game. With the win Barton remains in the driver’s seat for the third seed in the Region VI Tournament by improving to 10-4 in conference and 23-5 overall. Pratt drops to 4-10 in conference and 14-14 overall while seeing their hopes of a sixth seed dwindling.
