By A1 Lammers, Athletic Director
Warrior Fans: The summer season is quickly
coming to an end as softball regional tournament
games were played and the Warrior baseball team
begins tournament play.
Once tournament play is finished, we will turn our
attention to the fall season. Please note that all official
practices for fall programs begin on Monday, August
12th. Students wanting to participate in any athletic
program must have an updated physical on file, and
when registering your son or daughter for school
enrollment you must have also signed off on the
waiver, concussion protocol, and good conduct policy.
The Norwalk Athletic Booster Club will be holding
their annual meeting on Wednesday, July 31st. There
are numerous board positions that will need to be
filled due to present volunteers leaving those
positions. If you would want to play a vital role in
the success of our athletic programs, please contact
the Athletic / Activities Office or current Booster
President Kent Wulf.
Baseball: It was a busy but successful week for
the baseball team as they packed in seven games over
a six day stretch winning six of seven including a
pair of Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheaders.
The first of those twin bills saw the Warriors travel
to Newton picking up the sweep 11-0 and 4-3.
Norwalk ended the week with a pair of close wins
over conference leader DCG, 9-8 and 2-1. The
Warriors picked up a pair of non-conference victories
over Boone to start the week 4-3 and ADM 7-2. The
only blemish was a 15-0 loss to Carlisle in the middle
of the week at Carlisle. Norwalk is now 16-15 on the
year and will complete their regular season schedule
with a pair on non-conference games traveling to
North Polk and then hosting Urbandale for Senior
Night, and then prepare for post-season district play
in which they will travel to North Polk as the #5 seed
and will play the #4 seed Carlisle Wildcats. Norwalk
completed the conference schedule with a 12-9 record
finishing 4th behind Indianola, Oskaloosa, and DCG.
Softball: The Warriors season unfortunately came
to an end as Oskaloosa defeated Norwalk in the 2nd
round of the regional tournament 4-1. The Warriors
finished the season with an overall record of 20-15
and finished second in the Little Hawkeye Conference
behind conference champion Indianola with a 13-7
conference record. Norwalk finished a busy
conference schedule earlier in the week with a pair
of games at Indianola falling to the Indians 2-0 & 7-
0. They traveled to Newton for a pair of makeup
games splitting the twin bill with the Cardinals
winning the first game 6-3 and dropping the second
7-4. Norwalk finished the regular and conference
season hosting DCG in a conference makeup game,
and completed a successful Senior Night defeating
the Fillies 2-1.
