The Third Grade Boys CYO basketball championship weekend took place at Tice Valley Gymnasium in Walnut Creek over the weekend of Feb. 10-11. The top four teams in the 18-team division were invited to the "Final Four" to compete for the top trophy. The championship game pitted two undefeated teams against one another, and in a nail biter of a game, St. Perpetua Team Harmeyer emerged victorious by one point, 17-16. It was a low scoring game that showcased lots of good defense and sportsmanship from both teams. All members of St. Perpetua Team Harmeyer are from Lafayette and attend various schools including St. Perpetua, Burton Valley Elementary, Lafayette Elementary and Springhill Elementary schools.
