Bronny James made his high school basketball debut for Sierra Canyon on Thursday and played well coming off the bench during an overwhelming victory. The oldest son of LeBron James is only a freshman and has already earned a spot in the rotation for a high school hoops juggernaut that is currently ranked No. 3 in the country.
During what was eventually decided as a 91-44 victory over Montgomery High School in San Diego at the San Diego Tip-Off Challenge, James would connect on a pair of triples and finish with 10 points. With 7:12 remaining in the second quarter, Bronny would connect on a 3-pointer from the left wing for the first high school bucket of his career.
Jordan Divens of MaxPreps.com described the win for the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers as a wire-to-wire victory.
“The two-time defending CIF Open Division state champions jumped to a 7-0 advantage and led by as many as 53 points in the wire-to-wire victory.
The Trailblazers were paced by strong efforts from Kentucky pledge B.J. Boston, who finished with 22 points to lead all scorers, and TCU commit Terren Frank, who chipped in 20.
James – the son of Lakers star and NBA legend LeBron James – produced 10 points off the bench. The freshman knocked down a pair of threes from the left corner and added a couple of layups.”
As a note, the 10 points that Bronny scored were just one half point away from the over/under of 10.5 on the season that BetOnline released just before tip-off. Meanwhile, Dwyane Wade’s son, Zaire Wade, added six points for Sierra Canyon in the victory.
