Barton's Womsi earns second straight KJCCC Player of the Week honor #GoBarton

For the second straight week, Jenny Nkem Womsi of the 22nd ranked Barton Community College women's basketball team has been named the KJCCC Division I Player of the Week.

The Week 7 honor is the third of the season for Womsi in having earned the Week 2 KJCCC and NJCAA distinction prior to her Week 6 conference distinction, bringing the sophomore's sixth weekly award in her Barton career.

In Barton's lone game of the week before heading into the Christmas break, Womsi notched her second straight and ninth double-double of the season behind 18 points on 9-of-13 shooting and a 16 rebound effort leading the Cougars to a 62-54 win at 24th ranked Butler Community College. 

Womsi now leads Region VI averaging 13.3 rebounds per game, finishing in double-figure rebounds in 12 of Barton's 14 games including a current stretch of 11 straight games.

Barton stands in 3rd place of the conference standings heading to the holiday break at 6-2 and 12-2 on the season. Having played five of its first eight conference games on the road, the Cougars begin the spring semester also away from the Barton Gym with a January 4th trip to Seward County Community before hosting Northwest Kansas Technical College on Saturday, January 7, in a 2:00 p.m. afternoon tip.
