Winning a District 1 championship never gets old, no matter how many titles a team piles up.

Just ask the basketball players from Sacred Heart Academy.

Since the PIAA went to six classifications in 2017, the Lions are the only team to win the Class 2A crown.

Second-seeded Sacred Heart wrapped up its sixth straight district title with a 49-32 victory over top-seeded Delco Christian Saturday afternoon at Harriton.

“It’s always exciting,” senior guard Kyra Santora said. “We were nervous this year. We had some injuries and other setbacks, but we wanted to get that sixth one because there are six seniors on the team. We didn’t want to lose in our senior year.”
