Baseball program Edit

The storied Norway High School baseball team amassed twenty Iowa state titles, with the first coming in 1965, and the last in their final season in 1991. Norway competed in the 1A class, the class for the smallest of school districts, of Iowa high school athletics.[1] Their final season was coached by Kent Stock, who took over for a retiring Jim Van Scoyoc, who had previously won three state coach of the year awards, and one national coach of the year award.[2]
