lations to all members of this year's boys and girls cross
country teams on a very competitive season.
Football: The Warriors completed one of the most
successful regular seasons in program history as they
rolled to a 42-19 over the Knoxville Panthers in the final
regular season and District 7 game of the year. The vic-
tory secured an 8 win season and a second seed in the
state football playoffs. The Warriors once again used the
second quarter as their offensive playground scoring
28 points to break a scoreless first quarter and then put
up touchdowns in both the 3rd and 4th quarters to put
the game well out of reach due to another stellar defen-
sive game in which the Warriors held the Panthers to
only 221 yards of total offense with only 53 of those yards
coming through the air. Meanwhile Junior Brady
Brandsfield was 12 of 21 through the air for 227 yards
and four touchdowns, including three of those to Se-
nior wide out Tyler Schamel. Brandsfield also rushed
at Johnston on Thursday. Best of luck!
Volleyball: The Norwalk Warrior Volleyball team,
clinched their first ever outright Little Hawkeye Con-
ference championship last week as they defeated the
Newton Cardinals in three straight sets 52-21, 25-16, and
25-14. The Warriors finished with a perfect 6-0 confer-
ence record and completed their best regular season in
program history with a 25-10 record. The Warriors will
now turn their focus to regional play as they will host
the Creston Panthers in the second round of toumament
action after receiving a first round bye Thursda Oct.
29. A victory would then put them in the regional final
game at Atlantic Tuesday, Nov. 3, against the winner of
ADM and CB Lewis Central.
Singer Marvin Lee Aday is better known by the stage
name "Meat Loaf" It's a nickname that dates back to his
hefty high-school football days. His weight--in the mid-
200s--earned him the nickname.
