The Hawley boys’ golf team won the Heart O’ Lakes Conference championship in 2022 and took fourth place in Section 8AA.  Jack Justesen advanced to the Class AA State Individual Tournament.  The Nuggets lost Darin Kroshus, Evan Vettern and Sam Burkel to graduation.

Senior Cade Pederson, juniors Jack Justesen, Kaden Kopacek, Isaac Huesman and Lucas Schenck, sophomores Brayden Aldinger, Dane Hinkle and Carter Sparrow, and freshman Liam Pederson all return from that conference championship team.

“We are looking forward to competing for another HOL title,” said Coaches Ben Lofgren and Tim Pederson. “We return three of the six players who consistently teed it up at conference meets last year, but we also have four other golfers who will challenge for the remaining three spots.  It will be a battle to see who comes out swinging once we are able to get outside and play.”

Lofgren and Pederson say that Roseau and Fergus Falls are the returning section favorites, with Barnesville and Perham looking to be solid front runners in the HOL.
