About this Article

A stress-free game was exactly what Bob Barnett needed Tuesday night in his return to the bench. The Hampshire boys basketball team cruised to a 52-38 nonconference victory over Marengo as Barnett came back to coach in his first game this season. "I feel great," Barnett said. "My wife came up to me before the game, gave me a kiss and said, You're already red in the face. You've got to relax.' " Barnett suffered two heart attacks on Nov. 20 and missed the first six games of the season. Originally he was told he could not return until Dec. 20, but after meeting with his doctors the timeframe was moved up. He was given medical clearance to return to practice on Monday.
