Sacred Heart Basketball, the G.O.A.T?

-
The Sacred Heart Academy girl's basketball team is off to a white-hot start, sitting atop the Mid-State Activities Conference at 15-0 heading into Thursday night's game vs Merrill. This stellar record is undoubtedly a testament to the dedication and persistence of the coaches and players who represent Sacred Heart Academy on the hardwood. The success of the Lady Irish this season is quite impressive, and it begs the question: is the 2017-18 squad the greatest of all time (G.O.A.T)?

The impressive display of skill, athletic prowess, and teamwork exhibited on both ends of the court has yielded positive results for Sacred Heart Academy, who routinely outscores opponents by 20, 30, even 40 points.

When looking at the body of work, one can't help but draw comparisons to Kobe and the Lakers of the early 2000s, Jordan's Bulls of the 90's, or the modern day Golden State Warriors. All of those teams were/are very different from one another, and the current Sacred Heart girl's team. But what's one common thread that ties together these great programs? Winning. A LOT of winning. 

At 15-0, the Lady Irish have five more games to close out the regular season. 15 out of 20 is 75%. What I'm getting at, is the Lady Irish have played 75% of their games and have yet to be beat. Can Kobe and the Lakers say they ever did that? No. Jordan and the Bulls? Nope. The Golden State Warriors? Most definitely not. 

The success the Sacred Heart girl's team has thus far achieved is astronomical, and I'd bet that it continues through the rest of the regular season and beyond. I'm not explicitly saying they are better than any of the aforementioned NBA teams. But I will say this: I don't care if you're MJ, Lebron, Kobe, or Magic. If you come up to Mt. Pleasant to play Sacred Heart Academy, you better be ready to play or you will get exposed. 

Are the 2017-18 Sacred Heart Irish the G.O.A.T? I know my answer, how about you?

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...

Breaking News … We Have Another Win!

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! ...
