It was a bittersweet day for Rich Barton, as he hosted the Warrenton Invitational for one final time as the Warriors’ golf coach.He witnessed an entire cast of newcomers make their debut in the event for the Warriors. Afterward he handed out medals, awarding top honors to a pair of GAC schools.“It everything went seamless as usual,” said Barton. “Everybody really chipped in to do their part.”While Warrenton didn’t rake in medals or a team trophy as it had in previous years, the Warriors did exhibit progress among a competitive field.Warrenton shot a 361, finishing sixth out of nine teams in the Red Division“I was super pumped,” said Barton. “We had three kids who broke 90 today. The improvement is there, and I think we took a big step forward.”Sophomore Dillon Keeven shot a team-best 85, claiming the 15th and final medal.“My chipping was the best today,” said Keeven. “I was able to get it close, and I didn’t have any trouble with it.”Keeven, who entered the season with just one varsity match under his belt, was immediately cast into a leadership role.“It’s a lot different going from JV to varsity,” said Keeven. “There was a lot of pressure at first, but I’ve gotten used to it a lot better. It’s fun to help the team out.”Sophomore Ryan Adams shot a 105 in the No. 2 spot.XX Rob Hill and Taylor Lutz each shot an 89 in the third and fourth positions, respectively.Sophomore Conrad Schaumberg carded a 98 in the fifth spot.“Seeing St. Charles and St. Charles West —two of our biggest rivals since I’ve taken over the program — win today was really special,” said Barton. “It was great to see the GAC North represented as well as it was today.”St. Charles shot a 313, while St. Charles West recorded a 314. The second-place teams were Pacific in the Red Divison and Sullivan in the White Division.NEW CAST DEBUTS FOR WARRIORSDerrick Forsythe, Record Sports Editor
