The Platteville Golf Team traveled to Edelweiss Chalet Country Club in New Glarus for the Division 2 Sectional 3 on Tuesday with a chance to earn a berth to the state golf tournament at University Ridge next week. The top 2 teams advance and the top 3 individuals not on those teams also qualify. The Hillmen took 8th place with a team score of 333. Cole Herbst shot 76, Ty Simmons – 82, Hudson Weittenhiller – 85, Aiden Voigts – 90, and Jauron Blevins – 97. Cole Herbst tied for the 3rd state qualifying spot with Ignacio Izquierdo from Whitewater.
