Sister Jean an 'international celebrity' as Loyola's tournament run continues
Posted Mar 22, 2018
Between opening-round games of the NCAA tournament in Dallas, Loyola’s 98-year-old team chaplain, Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, planned to go for lunch down the street. “We couldn’t do it. Everybody knows her,” said Tom Hitcho, the university’s senior associate athletic director for operations, who has been pushing Sister Jean’s wheelchair during the tournament.
