Excellent Season
Warrior Fans: The winter season from a
competition standpoint gets into full swing as the
Norwalk Girls Basketball Team tips off its season,
while the DSM Lincoln Swim Team opens their
season at Ankeny Centennial. Boys Basketball,
Wrestling, and the Bowling Teams will get their
seasons underway soon.
We encourage all Warrior Fans to support all of
our athletic / activity programs by looking at all of
our 2018-19 schedules at www.little

Bowling: The Warriors were supposed to open
their season with a triangular but due to a scheduling
conflict the match was canceled. Their first match
will now be on December 1st. The Warrior Boys' team
hopes to improve on a 3-7 match record from last
year with only one starter returning from last year's
team. The girls' team returns all of its starters from
a year ago and hopes to improve on a zero win season.
Boys Basketball: The Warriors officially began
practice and participated in the annual Hall of Pride
Scrimmage in Indianola. Norwalk looks to build on a
successful 2017-18 season in which they finished with
a 22-3 record and qualified for the Class 3A State
Basketball Tournament and were Little Conference
Champions finishing at 12-2.
Girls Basketball: The Warriors open their season
when they travel to ADM to take on the Tigers in a
non-conference tilt. The team brings back six players
from last year's 10-13 roster and were 6-8 in Little
Hawkeye Conference play.

Wrestling: The Warriors will open their season

qualifiers from a squad who a year ago were regular
season and conference tournament champions as well
as regional dual team qualifiers.
