The Warrior boys look to get back on the winning track tonight following consecutive losses to Ames and Pella on the heels of a nine-game winning streak. Norwalk lost a hard-fought 58-56 decision against Pella on Friday night, falling to 9-4 overall and 5-2 in the Little Hawkeye. The Warriors beat Pella Christian 56-29 the first time around, led by Tillman Papcun’s 20 points, but expect a much tougher game tonight.
