Only three golfers in the history of Quincy Notre Dame have gone on to earn two top 10 finishes in the state golf tournament. Hogge was the first to do it.

As a freshman, Hogge was the district champion. He tied for the medalist at the regional as a sophomore and won a playoff, then won medalist honors again as a junior in 1976. That year, he went on to finish 10th in the Class A state tournament in Savoy and helped the Raiders finish fourth as a team.
Hogge didn’t win the district championship as a senior, but he qualified for the state tournament and finished in a tie for second place at the Class A state tournament in Springfield. QND was 12-0 in dual meets in 1977 and finished fourth at state.
