About the Lady Cougars:

Barton finished the first half swing through the confer-ence without a road victory.

The free throw line has not been kind to the Cougars this season, ranking last in the West at 58.4% and although improving, is setting sights of dubious honors.

Barton has only one player averaging in double-digits, as sophomore Erin Copeland has increased her scor-ing average from 8.3pts in non-conference play to 12.3pts a game in conference games to raise her aver-age to 10.2.

Freshman Ashton Bruner, who has averaged in double-figures most of the season, has dropped to 9.9. In the first meeting against Seward, Bruner put up 21 points and grabbed 8 rebounds.

Freshman Kailai Brantner’s playing time has signifi-cantly increased in conference play. Previously against Seward she dished out six assists and grabbed six rebounds.

About the Lady Saints:

In Seward’s 64-36 road loss to #1 Hutch on Saturday, the Saints trailed by only seven at half-time and was either ahead or tied most of the first half. The Saints couldn’t make shots and became turnover prone in the 2nd Half helping Hutch outscore them 40-19 giving them the 28 point loss.

Sophomore Guard Ricquia Jones earned player of the week honors in week 1 where she averaged 20 points, 6 steals, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game while shooting 83% from the field. In the first game she was a perfect 8 for 8 from the field.

Freshman Forward Shanise Brooks earned week nine honors for player of the week. With only one game that week, Brooks scored a career high 23pts and grabbed 8 rebounds.

6’6” Center Marta Oledzka leads the Western Confer-ence in blocked shots. Averaging 2.06 per game.

Playing in the Cougar uniform from 1979-81 and garnering all-conference honors his sophomore

season, men’s basketball player Kurt Budke’s legacy surpasses any individual basketball honors

he achieved and impacted others beyond the game of basketball. A Salina native who set

school records for scoring and rebounding at Sacred Heart High School, Budke continued his

education beyond Barton earning a bachelor's degree in physical education from Washburn Uni-

versity in 1984 before adding a Master of Science degree from Wichita State University in 1985.

Remembered as a winning coach and the man with the battle-cry “win the next five minutes”,

Budke guided each of his teams to high achievements earning him the utmost respect and honor

by his colleagues within the sports industry.

In 1984 Budke began his coaching journey on the men’s side as a graduate assistant at Wash-

burn University before taking a men’s assistant coaching position at Friends University. Moving

to Kansas City to become an assistant men’s coach at Kansas City Community College, Budke

quickly moved into head coaching by a twist of fate. Stepping up to fill the head women’s position when vacated prior to

the team’s first game, Budke credits his first team of six women at KCKCC in turning his passion towards the women’s

game and thus changed the course of Budke’s coaching history.

Moving on to Allen County Community College in 1991, Budke guided the Red Devils for two seasons to a record of 47-15

while taking them to a No. 17 national ranking and earning the Jayhawk East Conference's coach of the year honor.

In 1993 Budke moved to Trinity Valley Community College where his teams would dominate the Texas East Conference

and eventually make NJCAA history. In his seven years at TVCC, the Lady Cardinals were 96-2 in conference play and

won seven straight conference titles. Overall the Lady Cardinals were 226-16 and set a NJCAA record reaching the

championship game six straight seasons resulting in four NJCAA national championships and two national runner-up fin-

ishes.

Budke’s junior college coaching resulted in an overall record of 273-31 and a NJCAA record

winning percentage at .898. Named the NJCAA National Coach of the Year in both 1995

and 1998, Budke was also named the Texas Coaches Association Coach of the Year in

1994, 1996, 1997 and 1999. Additionally, Budke is the youngest coach to ever be inducted

into the National Junior College Athletic Association Hall of Fame.

In 2000 Budke made the jump to the Division I level spending two seasons as associate

head coach at Louisiana Tech University. Taking over the program in 2002, the Lady Tech-

sters compiled an 80-16 record in his three seasons which included a stretch of 29 straight

wins, three straight NCAA Tournament appearances, a No. 6 national ranking, two Western

Athletic Conference titles, and being named the WAC Coach of the Year.

Leaving Louisiana Tech for Oklahoma State University in 2005, the Cowgirls endured a win-

less conference season in Budke’s first year. However in one of the nation's deepest and

most talented conferences, Budke transformed the OSU program to contend for the Big 12

conference title and reach the NCAA Sweet 16 in just his third year.

During his six seasons at OSU, the man seen wearing the orange blazer orchestrated one of the most remarkable turna-

rounds ever witnessed on the college basketball landscape. He not only resurrected the program, he elevated the Cow-

girls to the national stage and provided a consistent postseason presence for the first time in more than a decade. With a

OSU career record of 112-83 including 1-0 to begin the 2011 season, Budke’s teams made post-season appearances in

his last five seasons including three trips to the NCAA Tournament.

Tragically killed in a plane crash in Perry County, Arkansas, on November 17, 2011, Budke and one of his assistant

coaches Miranda Serna, along with two others, left this earth too soon but left a lasting legacy honored by many on- and

off-the-court.

In addition to scholarships established in his memory at Trinity Valley, the City of Salina named its Bicentennial Center

court in honor of the Salina native. “Kurt Budke Court”, the same court Budke won his national championships while

coaching TVCC, was officially dedicated during the 2012 NJCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship that fitting-

ly saw his former TVCC win the 2012 crown.

Married to the former Shelley Balthazor, Budke is survived by his wife and three children Sara, Alex, and Brett.

Steve Johnson has been successful throughout his playing and coaching career. As a

member of the 1988-90 teams at Barton, Johnson earned both All-Conference and All-

Region 6 honors.

Moving on to the Division I level after Barton, Johnson played one year at the University

of Alabama-Birmingham, where he was named MVP of the Sun Belt Conference Tour-

nament in helping UAB make their first ever NCAA regional appearance in school

history.

Signing in 1992 with the St. Louis Cardinals organization, Johnson received the

Western Baseball League pitcher of the week award twice while playing for the Class A

Savannah team. Johnson reached the Double-A level before leaving the Cardinals

organization in 1995. Joining the Tri-City Posse independent league team in 1995,

Johnson twice earned the South Atlantic League pitcher of the week before finishing his playing career in

1996. In his five seasons of professional baseball, Johnson played in 138 games with 69 starts, finishing

his career at 35-35 with a 4.04 ERA and a strike-out to walk ratio of 2.48.

Now in his third season as head coach of the Fort Hays State University baseball program, Johnson has

established an impressive coaching history. In his first season as the Tiger

skipper, Johnson led the Tigers to a fourth-place finish in the MIAA and an

appearance at the MIAA Tournament then followed with reaching the

championship game last season.

Spending eight years as an assistant at University of Louisiana-Monroe,

Barton, and Fort Hays, Johnson helped his teams to a combined 262-190

record and coached ten different pitchers who went on to pitch in

professional baseball.

Johnson began his head coaching experience at Butler Community College

compiling a 235-155 record in seven seasons including a NJCAA World

Series appearance in 2006. Guiding the Grizzlies to three conference co-championships, Johnson was also

named the Jayhawk Western Division Coach of the Year twice (2005 and 2007), shared the honor in 2010,

and was the 2006 NJCAA Central District and ABCA Regional Coach of the Year.

In addition to his Barton Hall of Fame induction, Johnson was also inducted in 2000 to the El Dorado Baseball

Hall of Fame for his performance with the El Dorado Broncos summer collegiate team during the 1990 and

1991 campaigns.

A native of Salisbury, Missouri, Johnson earned his bachelor's degree in Physical Education with an emphasis

in Sports Management at Fort Hays State University in 1997. He is married to the former Gina Spilker of Clay

Center, Kansas, who also is a Barton Alum, former Student Ambassador and Dance team member, and for-

mer Assistant Dance Coach. Steve and Gina have two sons, Caleb and Cooper.

One of the founding fathers of the Cougar Booster Club, Larry Schugart and his wife

Kathy of fifty-three years, have been longtime residents of Great Bend and support-

ers of Cougar Athletics. His love and appreciation for sports took a big step forward

when Barton County Community College opened in 1969. During the fall of ‘69 Larry

set up a meeting at his office to discuss athletics at Barton. Seven men attended

this meeting and the Barton County Community College Cougar Booster Club was

born. Serving as the Club’s second President following Archie Lindholm, Schugart

and this group of men established a booster club that has long been the envy of the

not only the Jayhawk Conference but well known throughout the state and country.

From 1969 and continuing through the years, Schugart has kept his commitment to

Barton County CC, the Barton County Athletic department, and the Cougar Booster

Club. Schugart and his wife Kathy’s continued excitement and support of Cougar

Athletics is again displayed by the recent generous donation for a new state of the art indoor/outdoor center

practice floor in the Kirkman Center.

Outside of the athletic realm, for almost fifty years come this May, Schugart has also been a staple of

Landmark Federal Savings Bank located in Great Bend serving as Director, President, Chief Executive

Officer, and Chairman of the Board. Additionally, he was the Director of Landmark Bancshares from 1993

until the company’s merger in 2001. Often a man hidden from the public eye, Schugart has been president,

served, and continues to serve on numerous civic and charitable organizations throughout the area.

In addition to his work around the area, Schugart was the former

director of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka where he served

on the Finance and Executive Committees, a former member and

chair of various committees throughout Kansas and Nebraska, and

served as a member of the Governmental Affairs Committee of the

America’s Community Bankers. Schugart’s prominence and extensive

financial services experience throughout the Great Bend, Dodge City,

and the region has earned him respect and honor throughout the

financial industry.

About the Cougars:

The #19 Cougars primarily had two scoring outbursts in

both the first and second half to dispose of Cloud County

60-41 on Wednesday night.

In the win vs Cloud, Barton opened the game with a 21-5

run only to see Cloud battle back to within 4 at half-

time. Barton had a 17-4 run in the second half to put Cloud

away 60-41.

Sophomore guard Shaka Thomas was key in the 17-4 se-

cond half run verses Cloud, by coming off the bench and

dealing out two assists and draining two three pointers.

In the win over Cloud, sophomore Algie Key moved into

10th place all-time in the Barton record books in scor-

ing. He is sitting at 1027 points, putting him just five points

shy of moving into 9th place all-time.

Sophomore Andell Cumberbatch recorded his 5th double-

double in conference play scoring 13 points and grabbing a

career high 17 rebounds against Cloud, 11 coming in the

first half. In conference, Cumberbatch is averaging a dou-

ble-double with 15.8 points and 11.1 rebounds a game.

Freshman Kevin Kuteyi has been big for the Cougars com-

ing off the bench, averaging 10.1 in conference play includ-

ing shooting 38.0% behind the arc.

About the Saints

After opening up conference play with a home loss to Barton, the

Saints have gone on to win the next six conference games be-

fore losing to #1 Hutch 87-74 Wednesday night on the road.

In Seward’s road loss to Hutch, the Saint’s jumped out to an

early 19-4 lead. However, Seward had some shooting droughts

after building that lead and Hutch clawed their way back into the

game, knotting the score up at 37 going into the intermission.

The Saint’s had five players reach double figures in scoring vs

#1 Hutch on Wednesday night. 6’10” Edson Avila led the way

with 20 points for the night. Avila was perfect for the night, going

9-9 from the field and 2-2 from the charity stripe.

Kaheem Ransom earned player of the week honors in week 8 of

conference play where he helped lead the Saints to a 3-0 record

for the week. He averaged 18.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.7

steals in the three wins.

Jabari Peters earned player of the week honors in week 9 of

conference play in leading the defensive swarm against confer-

ence leading scorer Vic Adams of Dodge City holding him to 13

points under his season average. Peters also scored a game

high 13 points while grabbing 7 rebounds in their 62-42 romping

of Dodge City.

General Game Notes:

Barton owns a 25-4 edge over Cloud at the Barton Gym. However, the T-Birds have taken the last two games on the

Cougars’ home floor with both of those games being decided in overtime.

Overall, Barton leads the series 46-18, but Cloud has won the last 4 out of 6 meetings. In the last twelve games the two teams are split 6-6.

This is the last conference game before each team goes into the 2nd half of conference play. The game is crucial to both as Barton tries to keep pace for the top spot while Cloud is battling for a spot in the top four.

In conference play, Barton’s average score is 73.4 to 64.6 while Cloud’s average score is 60.7 to 65.7.
