Norwalk's bowling
team traveled to Monroe,
to compete in a Little
Hawkeye Conference
tourney at Mustang Lanes.

tough and affected scores
for all. The Warriors relied
upon their spare making
abilities to come away
with another conference
tournament victory.
The Warriors were led
by lefty Aaron Brunner
with a tourney leading
two game total of 446 and
a 225 high game. Brunner's
two-game-series was 63
pins better than his near-
est competitor's scores.
Lincoln Henry, Cody
Frazer, Kyle Brown, Matt
Webb and Justin Lamb all
bowled around their aver-
ages.
Senior Frazer led the
Warriors in the baker
games by being a perfect
seven-out-of-seven in
strikes and spares.
Brunner and Webb also
pitched in by being eight-
of-10. Norwalk shot a pair
of 194s for their baker high
games. Norwalk's score of
2,580 led the tourney,
ahead of Knoxville's 2,304
and Pella Christian's 2,145.
The Lady Warriors also
found lane conditions
tough going, but still man-
aged to come away with a
third place finish. Fresh-
man Kayle Sheets led the
Lady Warriors with a fine
two game total of 268.
Chelsea Frazer, Katie Hall
and Katie Leverman all
bowled around their aver-
ages. Frazer led the Lady

and spares out of 10
frames.

hind Pella Christian who is
6-4 and we have a chance
to get to third place in the
conference. This should be
our goal for now."
