By Steve Carpenter HCC Sports Information Director Monday, September 22, 2008 Cortez Barnes, one of the top 3-point shooters and all-around players in Hutchinson Community College men’s basketball history, died in a car accident in Texas on Sunday. Barnes, an All-Jayhawk Conference performer who played at HCC in 1990-91 and 1991-92, was on his way to Wichita from his home in Dallas when the accident occurred. According to the Wichita Eagle, Barnes, 36, was planning to attend an anniversary celebration at the Tabernacle Baptist Church, where his father-in-law, Lincoln Montgomery, is the minister. Barnes, whose wife, Jamai, was already in Wichita at the time of the accident, had six children. RELEASE
