As California continues to defy President Donald Trump's recent executive order forbidding trans athletes from competing in girls' sports, the state's residents will see the ramifications of that decision play out on a basketball court this week. 

An upcoming high school girls' basketball playoff game will feature an openly transgender athlete playing for San Francisco Waldorf against Cornerstone Christian on Saturday. The same trans athlete played for Waldorf's girls' volleyball team this past fall, prompting Stone Ridge Christian to forfeit a playoff match on Nov. 16.

"As long as the parents are on board with playing the game, we will support the girls' hard work this season and play the game," Cornerstone Christian athletic director Madison Alexander told Fox News Digital. 

The team came to this decision after a meeting on Tuesday afternoon.
