Boys Bowling
The Norwalk Warriors
traveled to Plaza Lanes to
compete in the Class 2A
state district qualifying
match. The Warriors
started slow in the first
game, but turned it up in
the second game. Senior
Eddie Holland started
with a solid game of 211 to
lead the Warriors. In the
second game, seniors
Noah Daniels and Austin
Artwein rolled games of
205 and 207, respectively,
and the Warriors found
themselves in second
place, 45 pins behind front
runner DM Hoover. The
Warriors rallied in the
baker games. However,
the rally fell just a little
short, finishing in second
place just 14 pins behind
DM Hoover; who quali-
fied for the state bowling
tournament. Out of 24
competitors, Norwalk
placed three in the top five
individually. Daniels came
in second with a 396 series,
Holland was third with a

The Lady Warriors got
off to a good start and
bowled consistently
throughout the match. Se-
nior Emily Kawano led the
Warriors with a 360 series,
including a personal high
game of 214. The Lady
Warriors found them-
selves in second place be-
hind a good Newton
squad by 205 pins, but
could not overcome the
Newton lead in the baker
games. Kawano led the
Warriors in the bakers by
rolling seven strikes and
spares out of 10 frames.
Kawano finished third
overall individually with a

Boys Basketball
The Warriors com-
pleted their regular season
as they picked up a pair of
non-conference wins to
finish the regular season
with a 15-6 record. The
Warriors handled visiting
ADM 64-46. Senior Baylee
Steele had another double-
double with 20 points and
12 rebounds to lead the
Warriors. Freshman Luke
Vaske added 14, while se-
nior Carter Albrecht had
12. The Warriors hosted
Warren County rival and
future Little Hawkeye
Conference member
Indianola and played
through a very physical
game in defeating the In-
dians 66-55. A tremendous
defensive 3rd quarter, in
which the Warriors
outscored the Indians 21-
3, extended a four-point
lead at the half and al-
lowed the Warriors to sus-
tain an Indianola run in the
fourth to pick up the final
game of the year win. Jun-
ior Michael Geistler came
off the bench to lead the
Warriors with 18 points

Attendance is Important! I want to encourage parents to do everything possible
to make sure all our students report to school on time every day. We are experiencing
a larger number of tardy students on a daily basis, which is cause for concern. Stu-
dents who report to school on time, prepared for their day and ready to focus, are
better able to work to their potential and get the most out of their school experience.
Students who rush into the building at the last minute or after the tardy bell has
sounded are often not well prepared for learning.
Remember that Iowa Code requires all children of compulsory attendance age to
attend school and that a process for working with families who do not fulfill their
duty in this area is well-defined. Ultimatel our goal is to make sure your child
makes maximum use of his/her potential while attending school. Thank you for do-
ing your part to make sure your child comes to school ready to learn!
Conferences: Thanks to those of you who attended conferences. I know that the
teachers appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to celebrate the suc-
cesses of your child.
