Caston Schools

Continued from page 1

The multi-purpose football/soccer field gets the most use — or “abuse” — according to Lowe. “We take extra pride in that because it gets the most use … and for the viewing pleasure it receives from fans.”

Water management is key, especially during the three- to fourmonth period in late summer and early fall. Irrigation must be regulated to achieve the necessary balance between too much and not enough. “We’ve learned through the years to manage that.”

Preparing the fields before and after this period is also important. They are careful to reseed where and when necessary. “What gets damaged needs to be replenished.” Aeration in the fall and spring is also important.

And, yes, the duo have their “fair share of varmints here to deal with,” said Lowe; however, these pests are managed by controlling the insects they eat. Insecticides are applied in the summer.

Warpenburg does most of the painting on the game fields. He strings the lines in the summer and then tries to repaint every week or so. The paints are mixed in-house.

At Caston, Lowe and Warpenburg are known for their modesty, so it is fitting they would be recognized for an award designed for, as the Pioneer Athletics website states, “the unsung hero, the undefeated MVP. … With the lights low and the bleachers emptied, they keep working, never relenting … setting the scene for every tackle, goal and home run.”
