Warrior Fans: It's been a great time to be a Warrior
supporter as this season's winter season culminated
in a State Championship Runner-Up finish by the
Norwalk Boys Basketball Team. A third time matchup
with Little Hawkeye Conference foe Oskaloosa in the
state championship game ended with the Indians
winning the rubber match of this year's series 48-44
in a very exciting and competitive game.
Congratulations to Noah Schumacher (Improv)
and Asa Schuemann (Expository) who both earned
top scores of 'T' at the IHSSA Individual Speech
Contest in Nevada.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to all of
our volunteers who assisted with a variety of
responsibilities during the course of our winter season.
Thank you so much for giving back to our participants
and for your service.
We now turn our attention to the spring season as
all of our spring programs have begun official practice.
Boys Basketball: The Warriors advanced to their
second state championship game in Norwalk history
and unfortunately for the second time the Warriors
finished as State Runner-Up Champions but in this
most recent championship game the Warriors played
themselves into a position in which a state
championship was within their grasp in the last
minute of the game. Norwalk led at the half over
LHC foe Oskaloosa 31-30 in an exciting first half
before the second half turned into a defensive grind
as the Warriors trailed after three quarters 39-38
and then fell behind 46-40 midway through the fourth
but Norwalk wouldn't give up trailing by two under
a minute to play with chances to put themselves in a
position to win the game but it was not to be as the
Indians made some clutch free throws down the end
to seal the victory. Jr. Bowen Born scored a team
high 26 pts to lead Norwalk ending an impressive
state tournament performance in which he was
selected as the captain of the all-tournament team.
Born scored a team high 40 pts in the Warriors first
round victory over Ballard 81-39 becoming only the
third player in Class 3A tournament history to score
40 points in a state tournament game, while Jr. Tyler
Johnson added 16. In their semi-final matchup
victory over undefeated Clear Lake 61-54, Born
dropped in a team high 32 pts. to lead the Warriors
into the championship game setting up their third
matchup of the season with Osky. Norwalk ends the
season with an overall record of 22 wins and 5 losses
and a Little Hawkeye Conference Championship.
Congratulations to those Warriors who earned Little
Hawkeye All-Conference honors this past week. Jr.
Bowen Born and Jr. Tyler Johnson were both First
Team selections while Sr. Tyler Endres was as 2nd
Team selection. Sr. Carson Raper and Jr. Scott
Anderson earned Honorable Mention honors.
Congratulations Warriors on a great season and an
exciting tournament ride.
