Tomball sophomore Daniel Trousdale finishes second individually at the 6A Boys State Tournament
ON THE GREEN: 2026 UIL Boys Golf State Recap — Westlake, Walnut Grove Claim Titles
In Class 6A, Westlake reaffirmed its dynasty status, capturing its 15th state championship with a steady +2 (578) performance to edge out The Woodlands. The Chaparrals’ depth proved decisive, placing three golfers inside the top three, including individual medalist Henry Talarico, who fired a 2-under par. Tomball’s Daniel Trousdale followed closely behind at 1-under, while a tightly packed leaderboard underscored the competitiveness of the field.
Meanwhile, Class 5A showcased a razor-thin margin at the top, as Walnut Grove secured back-to-back state titles with a 1-under 575—just one stroke ahead of Highland Park. Powered by a dominant individual showing from Austin Randall (7-under par), the Wildcats held off a deep Scots contingent that placed multiple golfers among the top finishers.
From established powerhouses to emerging contenders, this year’s tournament highlighted both the staying power of elite programs and the growing depth of talent across Texas high school golf.

The Woodlands have State Title hopes next week
TEE IT UP: Westlake, The Woodlands, Lake Travis, Memorial battle for State Supremacy
The stage is set for a showdown.
The UIL Boys State Golf Tournament tees off next week at White Bluff Golf Course, and Class 6A is loaded with contenders.
Power programs like Westlake High School, Lake Travis High School, Memorial High School and The Woodlands High School headline the field.
“This is a new course for everyone, so that will be interesting,” The Woodlands coach Eric Noski said. “It’s going to be a really competitive two days, and anyone can get hot at the right time.”
The Woodlands enters as a dangerous dark horse after sweeping district and regional titles. The Highlanders are led by seniors Tripp Depoy, Cooper Paull and Abhay Duggal, along with standout sophomore Anthony Butt. Duggal claimed both district and regional individual titles, while Depoy (Colorado State signee) and Paull (Gonzaga signee and 2024 State Champion) bring elite experience to the lineup.
The program has history, too—The Woodlands last won a state title in 2012.
Defending team champion Westlake returns after winning last year’s rain-shortened tournament, with Memorial finishing runner-up, followed by Lake Travis and The Woodlands.
Individually, all eyes will be on Asher Vargas of Grand Oaks High School, who looks to defend his state title.
Walnut Grove won Class 5A, while Lake Creek won silver.
Two days. One course. Plenty of contenders.
