First it was Maddie Novak leaving Orion.
Now it's Jamia Elam and Samantha Patterson leaving their respective schools.
Elam has transferred from West Bloomfield to Birmingham Detroit Country Day while Patterson has transferred from Bloomfield Hills to Birmingham Marian.
This is the second straight weekend that White teams have taken a hit with transfer losses. Last weekend it was the Dragons with Novak leaving for Birmingham Detroit Country Day. Now this weekend it's both Elam and Patterson that are leaving their respective schools.
Elam and Patterson like Novak will have to sit out the rest of the regular season.
Bloomfield Hills has already lost Kathrine Prinna for the season to ACL injury now loses Patterson, their top three point shooter. The Blackhawks do have the talent to overcome Patterson's departure in guards Maryam Hashim, Grace Getz, and Becca Hancock. Also lets not forget they have Amanda Sape and Victorie Franklin as well.
West Bloomfield losing Elam will hurt them inside but that means that Rakiyah Curry will see extended time to develop her game. The Lakers still have Elam's older sister Jordyn along with some very good shooters in Destini Cannon, Kori Maxie, and Destiny Monroe.
Elam will be a junior next season joining Novak at Birmingham Detroit Country Day while Patterson will be a senior for Birmingham Marian.
Stay tuned to OAA Now for the latest updates on this story.

About Me

- I have highest function of autism (Asperger Syndrome.) I'm a huge Dallas Stars fan. I like to play and watch football, especially when the Dragons play on Friday nights. I am a 2006 alum and used to play football for the Dragons. I ran track, I ran the 100, 200, 400 meter dashes along with shot-put and discus. During my time in Orion I was a manager for Junior Varsity Boys Basketball team. I'm the volleyball, girls basketball, and football announcer for the team and do the book on the road for girls basketball. I do the clock for volleyball in the fall along with girls basketball in the winter and announce some boys basketball games as well. In the spring I coach shot-put at Scripps Middle School, in my fifth season coaching. I run the shot-put for high school meets. I played Special Olympics Basketball, I've won three gold medals for them. I host "Between Taorminas" which is on ONTV along with a podcast called "OAA Now". In other various things outside of Lake Orion, I love to jet ski over Saginaw Bay. Saginaw Bay is basically my life. I'm a trained weather spotter for the National Weather Service for Oakland and Huron counties.
