PlayMAD! - UNSTOPPABLE
Norwalk hadn't even reached a state tournament until 2023. On Thursday, the No. 1-ranked Warriors trailed Clear Creek-Amana two sets to one in the Class 4A final. They came back to win in five, 22-25, 25-12, 20-25, 25-17, 15-11, for the first state championship in program history.
Junior Elle Hatlevig, a Michigan State commit, had 39 kills, one short of the 4A tournament record, plus 27 digs. "Only one team at the end can win that last match," she said. "We wanted to be that team." Norwalk finished 33-6, a new school record for wins.
That's the MAD! mindset — desire, eagerness, and enthusiasm when it counts.
