Phikala Anthony of the Barton Community College women's basketball team was recently named to the second team of the Western Division of the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference (KJCCC).

Anthony led the Lady Cougars averaging a KJCCC West fourth best 16.2 points per game and a seventh best 7.4 rebounds.  Earning conference and national player of the week honors two weeks prior by averaging a double-double twenty-nine points and ten rebounds, Anthony finished her sophomore campaign with seven double-double performances.

In addition to her scoring and rebounding performances, Anthony will leave Barton atop the record books as the Memphis, Tennessee, native took over the top spot in school history on the single season free throw chart with 166 makes surpassing Barton Hall of Famer Wendy Okeson's 153 from the 1999-2000 season.   In addition to taking the top spot in made free throws, Anthony also surpassed Okeson's mark by two in attempts finishing with 208.

On the career charts Anthony finishes thirteen shy of Okeson's 1998-00 career mark of 253 made free throws and wraps up her career in the number four slot at 310 attempts.   Shooting a fourth best single season free throw percentage of 79.8%, Anthony also finishes fourth on the career chart at 77.4%.

Anthony was also an integral part of a record setting team as the Lady Cougars finished the 2014-15 as the top free throw shooting team in women's basketball school history.  Barton connected on 481-of-670 from the charity stripe for 71.8% surpassing the 70% record set by the 2006-07 squad.  The accuracy also places second in Barton basketball history only behind the 1977-78 men's basketball squad's 72.5% mark, which Lady Cougar Assistant Coach Alan Clark coincidentally was an integral part of the team's achievement.
