A radio broadcaster from Great Bend gestured to Barton County coach Steve Forbes a few minutes before the tip-off of Barton's game against Butler County.
''Steve,'' he said, ''tell me who you're not starting.''
Forbes looked puzzled for a moment, but then gave the names of two players.
Satisfied, the broadcaster took another look at his pregame notes, turned to his partner and said, ''It's easier to do it that way.''
And he had a point.
Beset by illness, injuries and suspensions, Barton County brought only seven players to El Dorado on Wednesday night. And that wasn't nearly enough bodies to keep up with Butler, which rolled to a 90-65 victory.
In winning its fourth straight game, Butler improved to 4-1 in the Jayhawk West, 17-5 overall. Barton dropped to 2-3 in the conference, 12-11 on the season.
Barton actually has eight players on its squad but faced Butler without standout guard Brandun Hughes, who didn't make the trip because of the flu. The 6-foot Hughes signed with Michigan in November and has averaged 29 points a game this season.
But without him on the court, Barton lacked both a scorer and ballhandler.
After the game's first 12 minutes, Barton had 11 turnovers, had taken only eight shots and trailed 31-8.
The Cougars finished the game with 33 turnovers and only 29 shots, making 14. Their 65 points marked their lowest scoring output since a 72-50 loss to Trinity Valley (Texas) on Nov. 25.
''I've never seen such a shot discrepancy,'' Forbes said, putting his hand to his forehead. ''They took 73 shots and we only had 29?''
Butler's last shot of the first half - a 23-foot 3-pointer by sophomore swingman Ty Rhodes - pushed the Grizzlies to a 45-22 lead.
Rhodes made 4-of-8 3-pointers and led Butler with 19 points. Freshman center Cedric McGinnis had 18 points and 11 rebounds for Butler while sophomor e point guard Terry Hankton added 16.
''We're playing some defense and putting up some points,'' Butler coach Randy Smithson said. ''I'm happy with our last four games.''
BARTON COUNTY (65): Shane Sundahl 7, Jerrod Childers 13, Jay Heidrick 5, Lionel Barnes 16, Brad Parscale 6, Gitonga Maina 10, Chris Baker 8. Totals 14-29 33-49 65.
I’ve been locked out of Netflix for two weeks now for some reason.
The American middle class (predominantly white by definition) was created after World War II by way of federal programs like the VA, the FHA home programs and the G.I. Bill. This example of white welfare was one of the largest wealth-creation and intergenerational wealth-transfer programs in history. Again, African-Americans and other nonwhites were, for the most part, denied access to those opportunities. Today's extreme racial wealth gap is the most obvious result.
What economists and other social scientists describe as "the submerged state" — government programs such as mortgage interest deductions, capital gains and other tax credits and cuts, and financial subsidies for entire industries — is another example of white welfare. Whites are disproportionately overrepresented as beneficiaries of the submerged state. Moreover, the submerged state is a central means through which the racial wealth gap is maintained in so-called "post racial" "colorblind" America.
There is a complication. New research by Robb Willer, professor of sociology at Stanford University, and Rachel Wetts, a researcher at the University of California, demonstrates that despite all the ways that government provided welfare programs to help them, white Americans are willing to cut such programs if they believe that African-Americans and other nonwhites may benefit.
