Our Athletes of the Week are the Transfiguration 7th Grade Girls CYO Basketball Team which recently won the Oakland Diocese Championship for 7th Grade. Tranfiguration's regular season record in the Metro League was 9-1. Their only loss in the season was to St. Joachim. Ironically, that's who they met in the finals. They also lost to St. Joachim for the league championship but won two games in the Diocese Championship, beating St. Joachim for the overall championship (total season record of 12 - 2). The Diocese Championship game final score was 26 - 16, with all players contributing. Transfiguration started off strong against St. Joachim for the final game and did not give up their lead. The defense held St. Joachim to 5 points in the first half. The final score was 33-22.
