-----------------
I agree with most of the rankings. Norwalk has a crazy tough schedule the rest of the year. they should have no issues in conference play. however, their non-conference play is tough [just like every year]. Coach Kralik believes in challenging the squad all year long to prepare them for state.
Norwalk plays: # WDM Valley, #10 Johnston, #1 Millard West [Nebraska], and the Norwalk Coed Invitational is bringing these teams:
Dallas Center-Grimes
#4 Denison Community High School
Lewis Central High School
Lincoln High School
Nevada High School
Perry High School
#8 Waukee High School
this could be a pretty crazy tournament. all of those teams can play and anything can happen on any given day out at the McAninch sports complex in Norwalk. The wind has just been horrendous for the past few years for any games played out there! And guess what, Norwalk has lost each time its been windy but resolved themselves in the consolation brackets. Enough about Norwalk... I think Glenwood should be ranked above Xavier for the sole purpose that Glenwood beat Xavier. Unless Glenwood has another loss that i dont know about... Keep an eye out for the Cook lead squad of Bondurant-Farrar as well.
Will be interesting to see how WDM Dowling Catholic and Waukee compete in the CIML. Hoover has already proven themselves as a tough team. They nearly beat Ankeny the other night.
