NHS Football Team Community Service Day
For most guys waking
up on the day of prom,
thoughts going through
their minds would be
things like I need to pick
up my tux, did I get the
correct color of shirt and
did I get the reservations
taken care of, not I need to
get up to help out my com-
munity. But that was ex-
actly the thought of 30
young men from the
Norwalk Football Team.
Saturday, May 1, the
Norwalk Football War-
riors held their first An-
nual Community Service
Day, consisting of cleaning
up five-acre park in Lake-
wood, Butterfly Park, City
Park, McDonalds Woods
and finishing up the day at
Windflower Park.
The young men made
piles of limbs and rubbish,
picked up trash and bro-
ken glass and even drug an
old bicycle out of a creek
and what they received in
return was a couple pieces
of pizza and the feeling of
doing something great for
their community.
The football team
thanks the City of
Norwalk's Public Works
Department for helping
out with this project, and
the Parks and Rec. Depart-
ment for helping set up
this project, providing
materials to work with and
lunch at the end of the day.
Those in attendance for
the Community Service
day were: Evan Kimberlin,
Tyler Van Gorder, Tommy
Greene, Kyle Hopkins,
Aaron Westphalen, Kory
Anderson, Zach Spurr,
Grant Bosch, Tod Hodges,
Jordan McKenzie, Conner
Janovec, Sam George,
Tyler Stanley, Michael
Lewiston, Kyle Krause,
Trevor Tolliver, Jake
Lutcavish, Trey Castle, Ben
Elliott, Zach Cowie, Alex
Landgrebe, Zak Eshoo,
Zach Elliott, Zach Crain,
Austin Katzureck, Eric
Bagby, Devin Verwers,
Brandon Johnson, Kolby
Greenslade and Bailey
Scott.
This was the third op-
portunity for the members
of the football team to vol-
unteer for Community
Service. The other oppor-
tunities included a Polar
Plunge with Hodges,
Johnson, Kimberlin, Nick
Huffman and Verwers in
attendance.
Also, members of the
team helped out at PTO
Fun Night. Those that
helped with that included
Johnson, Verwers,
Kimberlin, Hopkins, Gar-
ret Gillen and Huffman.

Hunger to begin in Au-

After Prom A Success
This year the Norwalk High School Prom was held Saturday, May 1. Before Prom,
the After Prom Committee had the "Grand March" at the high school. It was an
opportunity for the community members to see the students dressed in their Prom
clothes and for parents to take pictures. The committee hopes that this event will
grow every year. Colby Gampbell, Rodney Martinez, Rick Stageman and others helped
with the Grand March and parents helped chaperone at After Prom.
The After Prom Committee gives a big thank you to the students who attended
the Grand March and After Prom. The committee firmly believes that this is a very
important event and they do it for you.

NHS Girls'
Soccer News
The Norwalk girls re-
cently won two Little
Hawkeye games to move
their record to 4-0 in con-
ference play and 7-2 over-
all. The Warriors played
their first home game of
the season Tuesday, April
27, as they shut out South
Tama 5-0. As has been
Norwalk's forte this year,
they got out to an early
lead in the fifth minute of
play as Sarah Schreck put
the ball in the net on a pass
from Kalie Palmer.
Norwalk netted two
more goals in the next six
minutes as Schreck set up
Megan Patava twice for the
next two goals. Hali
VanVelzen finished the
first half scoring on
Schreck's third assist.
Norwalk possessed the
ball for most of the second
half when Schreck netted
a late game goal for the 5-
0 final.
Norwalk was home
again Thursday, April 29,
as they won 3-0 against
Knoxville. The Warriors
got off 22 shots to just six
for the Panthers in the first
half, but none found the
back of the net in half one.
Norwalk again came
out strong in the second
half as VanVelzen scored.
Her shot ricocheted off a
Knoxville defender into
the goal in the second
minute. Schreck scored her
12 th goal of the year in the
56 th minute on a rip from
25 yards. VanVelzen
scored the final goal in the
75 th minute as she contin-
ues to get open around the
goal mouth for put-backs
as Schreck hit another
blast that hit the post first.
The defense completely
shut out Knoxville in the
second half allowing no
shots. The defense consists
of seniors Kristi Rogers
and Hannah Urlis and
Megan Chase, juniors Jami
Feder, Kelby Arnold and
Meg Cox and sophomore
Kalie Palmer with fellow
sophomore Stephanie
Smiley in the goal.
Norwalk will compete
in their own eight-team
tournament Saturday, May
15 at Norwalk-McAninch
Sports Complex.
