Barton takes medalist honors in golf tourney

Scott Barton shot a one-under-par 71 to take medalist honors at the Juniper Golf Course in Redmond on Thursday, March 31.

Scott Little carded an 89, Richard Aimee 90, Evan Mitchell 95 and Miles Johnston 102.

All of the Central Oregon High Schools participated in the event except for Bend High. The Outlaws finished fifth out of eight with a team score of 345. Summit took first place at 314 and the Redmond Panthers were just one stroke back at 315. Mt. View finished third at 325 and Crook County fourth with a score of 328.

Coach Jeff Barton said that Scott Barton’s round of 38-33 showed he made a good charge on the back nine.

“There were lots of nerves,” said Coach Barton, “as it was the first high school golf tournament for Richard, Evan and Miles. I expect us to get better and better with every match we play.”
