Four Walpole students, Eric Boulger, Declan Buckley, Joe DeSimone, and Quinn Wilson, are state champions. The four were members of the Xaverian Brothers High School golf team, which took this year's state title.
The Hawks have once again earned the title of Division 1 Golf State Champions for the third time in the last five years. The team, coached by Gerry Lambert ’88 and led by captains Quinn Wilson ’19 and Eric Boulger ’21, finished 12-4 on the regular season, earning them 2nd place in the Catholic Conference behind St. John’s Prep. They shot a combined 317 at the Division 1 South Sectional Golf Tournament at the South Shore Country Club, finishing in 2nd place out of 14 teams.
