Barton College Basketball Welcomes New Player Noble in Season Debut

MaKayla Noble made her much-anticipated debut for the Barton Bulldogs, contributing seven points and four rebounds in a tough 81-62 loss to William & Mary. According to the Salisbury Post, she played 23 minutes in her first game after transferring to Division II Barton from the University of Albany, where her freshman year was marred by injury that limited her playing time.

Noble, standing at 5-foot-11, was a standout player at Salisbury High, leading her team to state championships in 2021 and 2022 and scoring over 1,000 points during her high school career. With Barton finishing last season with a 14-16 record, Noble's arrival is seen as a significant boost to the team's prospects this season.

She is expected to play a crucial role as the Bulldogs head into their next two games in Augusta, where they will face Newberry and Augusta. The addition of Noble not only enhances the team's roster but also brings a wealth of talent and potential impact on team dynamics.

Her performance will be closely monitored as she seeks to establish herself and help Barton improve from last season's performance. As the season progresses, fans and analysts alike will be watching how Noble integrates into the Bulldogs' system and if she can help elevate the team's overall performance on the court.
