Sherman Oaks Notre Dame will play Hamilton High from Chandler, Ariz. in its 2012 football opener in Ireland.

Hamilton was 15-0 this past season. The game will take place on Aug. 31, 2012 and be part of the weekend that features college teams Notre Dame and Navy playing in Dublin on Sept. 1.

Notre Dame has begun fundraising for the trip, and the school will auction off use of Magic Johnson’s suite at the Staples Center for the March 18 Lakers games against the Timberwolves. Ten people can see the game from the suite.

The auction will take place via eBay. To bid on the suite, you can go to Notre Dame’s website here.
