The Women's Final Four hits town this weekend, but the fun started early at Annunciation Catholic School thanks to a visit from the Notre Dame cheerleaders and pep band, in town to boost the Fighting Irish in Sunday's semi-final game. It was tough getting event pics, but I finally managed to convince my wife, Annunciation's principal, to share. Thanks!
