WATERTOWN — Second no more. 

The Hanson High School boys golf team captured its elusive state championship at Watertown’s Cattail Crossing Golf Course. The Beavers finished as the Class B runner-ups the past two seasons, including by stroke to Wessington Springs in 2024. 

The 2025 Class B state championship also came down to one stroke, but this time it was the Beavers getting the win. Hanson edged Wall, 459-460, to earn its first-ever state boys golf championship.  Clark/Willow Lake (+42), Hill City (+53) and Sully Buttes (+53) rounded out the top five in the team standings.

Hanson’s Will Jarding powered the state championship with an individual third-place finish, and he parred the last hole to give the Beavers the one-shot victory. Wall’s Trevor Schulz (+1) won the individual championship while Sully Buttes’ Gavin Colson (+4), Jarding (+5), Wolsey-Wessington’s Larz Tvedt (+6) and McIntosh’s Wyatt Larson (+6) closed out the top five individual scorers.
