In a proud moment for the James family, LeBron James watched courtside as his son Bryce James and the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers clinched the CIF State Division I Championship with a hard-fought 58-53 victory over Lincoln High of Stockton. The game, held at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, marked a triumphant end to Bryce’s high school basketball career.
LeBron, sidelined from the Los Angeles Lakers due to a groin injury, made the trip to Sacramento alongside his wife Savannah and daughter Zhuri to support Bryce in this pivotal game. The NBA supersta was visibly ecstatic throughout the match, celebrating key moments with the enthusiasm of a proud father. At one point, LeBron leapt from his seat, pumping his fist in celebration as Sierra Canyon secured a crucial basket late in the game.
Bryce, a senior committed to the University of Arizona, contributed to the team’s success despite a challenging shooting night, playing a key role in Sierra Canyon’s defensive efforts. After the game, Bryce reflected on the victory, saying,
“My teammates are my brothers. Even when I wasn’t making shots, they always picked me up. This win is for all of us.”
Key performances from Gavin Hightower, who scored 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds, and Maxi Adams, who added 14 points and eight rebounds, propelled the team to victory. Bryce Cofield also made critical contributions, including the go-ahead basket in the final minute.
For LeBron, the night was a full-circle moment. Having played in four state championship games during his own high school career at St. Vincent-St. Mary, he understood the significance of the achievement. After the game, LeBron and Savannah shared a touching moment with Bryce, celebrating his accomplishment and the culmination of his high school journey.
