Barton's Moss' third charm garners NJCAA Player of the Week honor #GoBarton

Brent Moss of the Barton Community College men's basketball team has been named both the KJCCC and NJCAA Week 10 Player of the Week.

Moss' second straight and third conference award of the season grabbed national attention this week after averaging a double-double 28.5 points on 68.7% shooting and 12 rebounds in Barton's pair of contest.

The sophomore from Freeport, Bahamas, began the week with a monster performance of 40 points and 20 rebounds in an overtime loss to Independence, both numbers falling just shy of program Top-10 single game achievements.

Drawing heavy attention three days later hosting Coffeyville Community College, Moss finished with a team high 17 points adding four rebounds, to go along with, two assists and two blocks to help Barton take down the then-12th ranked Red Ravens.

Most recently on Wednesday, Moss added his 8th double-double of the season continuing his torrid stretch with 18 points and 14 rebounds, half the boards coming on the offensive glass, in registering his 15th straight game reaching double-figure scoring and 9th time grabbing ten or more rebounds.

The effort helped Barton knock off its second straight ranked opponent, taking down No. 23 Hutchinson Community College by five for the Cougars 8th straight win of the series and 13th straight at the Sports Arena.

Moss' third honor of the season comes on the back-to-back nods from the conference committee, his first coming in week three, and gives Barton its third straight following James Parlow, Jr.'s week eight distinction.

Bouncing back from its loss to Independence leading to the Cougars' twenty-three week streak of being nationally ranked, Barton looks to continue its newfound resurgence in the upset victories into its upcoming two-game homestand, the first coming in Saturday's 4:00 p.m. tip against Garden City Community College followed by Wednesday's 7:30 p.m. contest hosting Cloud County Community College.
