DeForest golfers Parker Bilderback and Nolan Hottmann competed individually at the WIAA Division 1 sectional tournament but did not advance to state.
Because of a solid effort at regionals a week prior, DeForest had two representees at the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) Division 1 sectionals on Tuesday, June 2, at the Reedsburg Country Club: Senior Parker Bilderback and junior Nolan Hottmann.
Both Bilderback and Hottmann qualified for sectionals individually after shooting a 78 at regionals at the Lake Windsor Country Club, each placing inside the top three of individual scorers on Tuesday, May 26.
Competing at sectionals one week later, the two Norskies fared well but did not make the narrow top-three-player cut to advance to the individual state.
Bilderback finished in a four-player tie for 28th place, shooting an 81, while Hottmann finished right behind him, shooting an 83 for a five-player tie for 32nd place.
With the finishes on Tuesday, this puts a bow on the 2026 spring season for DeForest boys’ golf team. According to DeForest athletics, DeForest graduate six seniors: Parker Bilderback, Brayden Edge, Scott Hanner, Blake Lovick, Trenton Stauffacher and Zachary Vils.
Sectional team scores: Waunakee (298, 14), Middleton (298, 16), Madison West (306), Onalaska (312), Barabooo (314), Reedsburg (315), Holmen (324), Mount Horeb (351).
