Highland taking a break from it all. ...

HUTCHINSON, Kans. — The Highland womens basketball team took quite a beatdown against Jefferson, the No. 1 team in the nation.
So after the loss, Cougars coach Dean Buckwalter decided to just give the team a day to get away and relax a little bit.

Buckwalter told me today the girls just split up and just went wherever for the day and just enjoy being here in Kansas (oh, brother).

Highland's got Trinity tomorrow, so they'll try not to get eliminated

Barton screwed out of All-American status

So, I just read the press release from the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) on its 2009 Junior College/Community College (JC/CC) State Farm Coaches’ All-America Basketball Team.

Jackie Barton is not an All-American or even Honorable Mention. Are you kidding me?!

The Western Illinois-bound sophomore led the Cougars in points, was second in rebounding (at 5-foot-11) and helped Highland win its first Arrowhead Conference in 13 years, its first Region IV championship since 2006 and earned its first NJCAA National Tournament bid ever.

And you mean to tell me that she's not even worth Honorable Mention.

Terrible.
