Barton's Onugha and Eck land All-KJCCC/Region 6 honors #GoBarton

Vivian Onugha and Alaina Eck of the Barton Community College women's basketball team have been selected to the 2025 Division I All-KJCCC/Region 6 team.

The duo helped Barton to its 8th straight advancement to the quarterfinal round of the post-season before having the season close at 16-16 overall falling to eventual Region 6 champion and 7th ranked Dodge City.

VIVIAN ONUGHA – 1st Team
Onugha was a constant focus from the opposition, drawing double and often three opponents surrounding her to still lead the league with 17.0 rebounds while third in scoring at 17.6 points per game.

Posting 26 double-double efforts in the season's 32 games, Onugha averaged 17.4 points per outing on 53.5% shooting and 16.1 rebounds, 9.9 on the offensive glass, while also leading the team with 2.0 steals.

A second team selection last year, the Lagos, Nigeria, native closed out her stellar Barton career on game highs 22 points, 7 rebounds, and career high 5 steals, rewriting the program record book in eight different categories while having countless other top ten all-time best performances.

Most notably, a record 26 rebounds in a single game led to finishing as the top rebounder in program history ranking first in: career rebounds (828), career rebound average (12.9), single season rebounds (514), single season rebound average (16.1), season offensive rebounds (197), season offensive rebound average (6.1), and single season defensive rebound average (9.9) while finishing ten behind with a season second most 318 defensive rebounds.

The drawn attention also sent Onugha to the free throw line, shooting a single game 20 attempts tying for the program most, second in season attempts (208), and finished 5th all-time in being to the charity stripe for 325 attempts.

Earning three KJCCC player of the week honors, Onugha also earned the NJCAA's week eight national player of the week following her record setting 26 rebound game performance in averaging 18 points and 24.5 rebounds helping Barton to a pair of victories.

ALAINA ECK – Honorable Mention
Eck's development from a Kansas Class 1A school to a collegiate athlete drew the attention of league coaches in receiving honorable mention honors.

The freshman from Little River began her collegiate career memorable outing against the then-nation's 8th ranked team Odessa with an 18-point performance on 3-of-4 three-point shooting, while grabbing 5 rebounds, with a team high 3 assists and 3 steals.

Averaging a team third most 9.5 points on the season, Eck put up just shy of 9 points per conference outing including a career high 23 points at Independence with another 21-point production against Cowley.
