1932 – 1966
For thirty-four years the Shamrocks' world was the county's small schools and the South Bend sectional field. The reached record thins to flashes, and the flashes print at their strength. In February 1961 the Adams Tower, a school paper with no reason to flatter a county rival, made Joe Hamilton's Shamrocks — 19–1, beaten only by Union Township — a co-feature of its sectional preview, noting their wins over the city schools Riley, Washington and Penn; the same season's county tournament, from Madison Township's yearbook, shows North Liberty beating Madison twice in tournament play, 86–57 and 59–49. A sectional championship for the Shamrocks in this era is carried by no source reached, and the Adams preview itself records that no county team had won a sectional since the early 1950s; whether North Liberty was that county winner is not stated by the carrier, and the question banks as a gap whose settler is the IHSAA's sectional champions-of-record list read year by year.
