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.

VYPE Coaches Corner: The Woodlands Golf Coach Eric Noski; State Tourney Recap
The Woodlands High School golf program is no stranger to the UIL State Tournament, considering they tend to reach Georgetown's White Wing Golf Course on an annual basis.
Naturally, this year was no different, as the Highlanders followed up their 2023 sixth-place finish, by claiming silver this Spring.
Sophomore Cooper Paull would end up shooting for 138, making him the Class 6A individual champion, while Daniel Zou, Abhay Duggal, Tripp Depoy, and Caden Cox combined for a total team score of 575 -- a mere five strokes behind first place.
While Lake Travis would ultimately become the state champs, the prowess TWHS displayed should not go unnoticed.
VYPE's Matt Malatesta spoke with head coach Eric Noski, detailing the Highlanders' tremendous performance at State, and more.
