March Madness has been in full swing the last few weeks, but the madness at SHA is about to shift from the hardwood to the track. The Sacred Heart Boy's and Girl's Track teams began official spring practices earlier this month, and soon will be competing and striving for yet another outdoor track state title. Last year, the Irish ran like mad and were able to secure another title for the Academy. The Sacred Heart Track Squads have been securing some many "dubs" ("dub" is intended to sound like "W" the first letter in "Win") that you would think it's a game of Fortnite. I've never actually played Fortnite, but it's sweeping the nation and has millions of players online. There are two things that Sacred Heart and Fortnite have in common: they're popular, and a lot of winning happens! Stay tuned as the Sacred Heart Track Teams get ready to drop Titled and get their 2018 seasons started!

As all of the Winter sports have come to an end, the fresh air of Spring is surrounding! With that being said, let's wrap this week up on a high note for Spring Break starting on Friday. 💮 Most of you have realized already, however why not say it again? - your Los Lobos marketing team are CMU Chippewas. As Chippewas, we have to give a shout out to our Women's Basketball team, who just made it to the NCAA's March Madness 2018 Tournament - Sweet 16! Tune in on Saturday to support fellow Mt. Pleasant citizens! Let's see who gets the dub as CMU plays Oregon for the Elite Eight spot. The women's team for both our Chippewas and your Irish have had amazing seasons, thus far. Coming in hot, as they advance through the brackets! None the less, so proud to say I've had the opportunity to work with both teams and I'm positive knowing that everyone around us agrees with that statement. WE ARE SO PROUD! Congratulations on an amazing season, Girl's Basketball t...

The boys basketball team has had huge success this season! Their 18-5 record before the playoffs was enough to get them entered in the Class D State Basketball Championship Tournament. The first game was against Onekawa  high school, who had a similar record of 16-5 before the first round tournament game. This game took place March 12th and oh was it a close one till the Irish pull away with a 55-43 victory! In the second round the boys had a lot more worthy opponent, having to deal with  Buckley  high. The bears had an impressive regular season record of 16-5 before entering this tournament, which lead to issues for the Irish. The Bears were just too dominate with a 66-44 victory over the Irish. The Irish being eliminated doesn't overshadow the great amount of success these boys put together. Lets all thank the seniors who will move on to great things! Go Irish!

His mother, Betty Grisdale Haggart, was a graduate in the class of 1953.  Dan Haggart has grown up in Clare, MI and graduated from Clare High School.
