COLBY, Kan. – Helping the Barton Community College pick up two wins over ranked opponents, Cougar players Rafael Calmon and Pedro Lisboa have each been named the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference (KJCCC) Division 1 Men’s Soccer Players of the week for Week eight of the 2026 season.
Rafael Calmon (Barton) – KJCCC D1 Men’s Soccer Player of the Week
Calmon played a pivotal role in number four Barton’s pair of victories over nationally ranked conference opponents, totaling three goals and one assist for seven points on seven shots. The sophomore found the back of the net in both contests, helping the Cougars avenge their lone loss of the season to number seven-ranked Garden City before securing another ranked road victory over number 14-ranked Coffeyville. Calmon struck twice in Wednesday’s 6-0 shutout of the Broncbusters, delivering a demoralizing fourth goal late in the first half before driving another dagger into GCCC’s comeback hopes just six minutes after intermission. Three days later at Coffeyville, Calmon followed with a three-point performance, netting the equalizer with 4:30 remaining before halftime before delivering the corner kick that produced the game-winning goal with 26:30 left in the Cougars’ 2-1 comeback victory.
Pedro Lisboa (Barton) – KJCCC D1 Men’s Soccer Goalkeeper of the Week
Lisboa provided a steady presence between the posts as number four Barton secured a pair of victories over nationally ranked conference opponents with wins over number seven-ranked Garden City and number 14-ranked Coffeyville. For the week, Lisboa made four saves, recording a 0.54 goals-against average across 166:23 minutes of action. Lisboa opened the week with two saves in 76:23 of scoreless action during Wednesday’s 6-0 victory over the Broncbusters to help the Cougars avenge their lone loss of the season.
