More Than a Game

-


My name is Dan Harazin, I'm Junior at CMU studying Sport Management and Spanish, and a proud member of Los Lobos media team. One day I will work in community outreach and charities for a professional team in a Spanish speaking area.

I am from a small town in Southwest Michigan called Bridgman. It is located roughly 45 minutes from the University of Notre Dame, where my father played football and got his education. Based on my life experience with my family, my Catholic faith, and my time as an athlete, the opportunity to promote and follow Sacred Heart athletics is something I am very excited about. 

Faith, family, and athletics have always been key components of my life and identity. In high school, I played both football and track. High school is a very important and transformative time for young people, and athletics always gave me an outlet to practice and uphold the values my faith and family had taught me. The coaches and teammates I played for and with are some of the greatest friends I've ever had, and the lessons I learned of hard work and sacrifice are invaluable. 

The Sacred Heart community is something special. I've had the great pleasure of attending multiple masses at Sacred Heart Parish, and I cannot wait to engage with you, the Sacred Heart community through Irish Athletics!

Run Irish, Run!

Courtesy of breakingfourth.com With all of the success the Sacred Heart Irish are experiencing on the hardwood, it's hard to imagine that any Sacred Heart Program can compare in terms of skill or success. But at Sacred Heart, high personal, academic, and athletic standards are not reserved for an exceptional few, they are standards that are upheld day in and day out by many. Nowhere is this dedication to excellence more evident than the Sacred Heart Irish Track & Field Teams. Both squads are coming off of campaigns that wrought Division 4 State Championships. Some may call it, "The Luck of the Irish," but with all of the wins Sacred Heart is racking up on the hardwood and track (just to name two high achieving programs) one cannot help but think that these Irish win their competitions the old-fashioned way. Hard work, dedication, discipline, perseverance, grit. As the Lady Irish are reminiscent of Michael Jordan and his Bulls, the Irish Track-stars can also...

Picture Credits  The Lady Irish have been a hot topic on our blog, but who isn’t talking about them? Some may ask if it truly is, ‘The Luck of the Irish,” but we all know that it is the hard work of this team that has them sitting at a 19-0 record. Last night the Irish played at Beaverton. They brought home the win with the score of 57-43 . Beaverton was a non-conference game. Now, the next question is who has to face this stellar, hot streak team? Breckenridge will be headed to Mt. Pleasant tomorrow for a game time starting at 7:30pm. ALERT … HOME GAME … TOMORROW!! This win streak will hopefully hold up to the Breckenridge Huskies who are coming into the game with a 4-14 record. The Huskies will be looking to cause trouble for our Lady Irish, so come out and support your team! Nothing better to do on a Thursday night then watch some basketball at home! Don’t miss the action and as always, keep us updated on your experiences, thoughts, and comments! ...
