Wrestling: For the second consecutive year the Warriors competed in the State
Dual Regional Tournament traveling to SE Polk last week for a first round dual against
Ankeny Centennial with the winner taking on SE Polk. It was a matchup of two very
similar squads as the final outcome came down to the final two matches after the
team scoring went back and forth through the first 12 matches. Unfortunately the
Warriors were on the wrong end as they dropped a 38-33 decision to the Jaguars. The
district tournament was held on Saturday and the Warriors found themselves in the
most competitive district in the state and it proved to be just that as Norwalk was
unable to qualify a single wrestler for the traditional State Wrestling Tournament.
Dylan DeFreece, Tyler Hirl, Drake Leek, Alan Moore, Hunter England, and Jake Seeley
all made the semi-finals but failed to qualify in the wrestle backs. Overall it was a
great season for the Warriors as they finished with an undefeated regular season
conference championship, placed second in the conference tournament, and quali-
fied for the state regional dual tournament.
Bowling-Girls Team: The Little Hawkeye Conference tournament was held at Val
Lanes lhst Saturday and both the Girls and Boys team held their own in the first
round. The Lady Warriors were led by Junior Haley Sylvestor with a 310 series. This
series was good enough for a third place overall finish. As a team the Warriors found
the going tough in the baker games and could not get any momentum. Haley Sylvester
led the Lady Warriors with 10 strikes and spares out of 14 attempts. The Warriors
finished in 4th place for the tourney.
Boys Team: The Boys were able to keep up with the other teams in the tourna=
ment. Sophomore Nick Greenwood led the Warrior charge with a strong 391 two
game series. SophOmore Caleb Bangs added a 364 series and Junior TylerCunningham
rolled a 319 series. However, the baker games proved a big challenge:for the War-
riors. Caleb Bangs led the Warriors by going 8 strikes and spares out of 12 frames.
The Warriors finished in 3rd place for the tourney.
Next up for the Warriors is a trip to Lucky Lanes in Denison, Iowa for the Sub-
State Tournament. The Warriors will be taking on Council Bluffs Lincoln, Council
