With California expecting to begin its high school basketball season March 12, most states will be wrapping it up by the time No. 20
Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, Calif.) tips off. And while that might present scheduling difficulties, the spotlight will only shine brighter on a program with plenty of national appeal and starpower.
The Trailblazers field a deep and talented roster led by top 50
prospects Amari Bailey, Bronny James and transfer Chance Westry. Much of the Sierra Canyon hype focuses on the son of four-time NBA champion LeBron James and how Bronny's game develops entering his sophomore season.
Other
key members of the Trailblazers rotation include 7-foot-3 center Harold Yu and scrappy forward Shy Odom along with
incoming transfers Max Allen and Ryan Grande.
Sierra
Canyon was ranked No. 15 and favored to win its third straight CIF Open Division crown at the close of the 2019-20 season. The 30-4 Trailblazers had advanced to the state title game before COVID-19 ended the season.
