CONCORD — Last year, Sam Barton was unhappy with his performance at the Division II State Meet, as he missed the cut to advance to the individual round of the tournament.

Flash forward to Thursday, Oct. 6, at Beaver Meadow Golf Course in Concord and Barton made sure making the cut was not a problem this time around.

The Kingswood junior fired a 73, which tied him for the lead with Phin Choukas of Hanover and James McKee of Windham after one day of action and sent him on to the individual portion of the tournament.

Coach Jeremy Fuller remembered back a year earlier and how disappointed Barton was in himself and noted that the young golfer set to work on making sure that it didn't happen again. He played in a tournament at Beaver Meadow and came down and played the course on numerous occasions to acquaint himself with the intricacies of the course.
