The Blue Dragons enter play on Saturday after a sluggish offensive three quarters against Barton on Wednesday before exploding for a 22-0 run to start the fourth quarter en route to a 59-43 win, the 43rd consecutive overall win and 29th-straight conference victory by Hutchinson.
Hutchinson's defense was exceptional in the second half holding Barton to 12 points (5 in the fourth quarter), 23.8 percent shooting and forcing 15 turnovers.
Hailey Jackson - who is now just two points shy of 600 points for her Blue Dragon career - had a team-high 13 points. Kahlen Norris and Brynne Katcher had 12 points each against Barton.
Jackson is currently the fourth-leading scorer in the KJCCC this season at 17.1 points per game. She ranks sixth in rebounding at 8.9 rebounds per game and has already surpassed her total of double-doubles from her freshman season with three this season.
Fort Hays Tech Northwest (0-5) will have one less day to prep for the Blue Dragons. The Tigers played host to Coffeyville on Thursday in Goodland, dropping a 73-37 decision to the Red Ravens. Coffeyville jumped out quick to a 32-8 lead after the first quarter. The Tigers were led by Torrai Logan's 10 points.
Saturday's match-up will be the 15th in series history between Hutchinson and Fort Hays Tech Northwest. The Dragons own a 13-1 series advantage and have never loss in six previous trips to Goodland.
