CONFIRMED: Brandon Boston Jr. is OK. Sierra Canyon basketball assistant confirms Boston is OK.
Boston was reportedly driving behind Terrence Clarke when Clarke was involved in a deadly accident.
What a moment for LeBron James. Sees Bronny score a career high (15 points), get awarded MVP, and get the go-ahead steal and layup late in the game to help lift Sierra Canyon to a 59-56 win over LeBron’s alma mater St. Vincent-St. Mary.
Doesn’t get better than this. Congratulations to Sean and Toya Holiday, parents of (L-R) Justin, Aaron and Jrue, who will make NBA history tonight, marking the first time three brothers will be on the court at once and proving humility and hard work can prevail.
This is awesome, and I think, unbelievably courageous of Dan Orlovsky to openly pray for Damar Hamlin on ESPN. What a moment. THIS is the viral content we need.
NEWS: Bronny James will suit up and play for Sierra Canyon tonight in the CIF Open Division final against Corona Centennial. It will be Bronny’s sophomore debut since getting knee surgery in February.
LeBron James, Drake and Anthony Davis are expected to be in attendance.
Sorry, but watching Steph Curry and Klay Thompson bickering with LeBron is funny. LeBron James makes them look like little boys. They bicker making no eye contact, say stuff as they walk away. It’s cute.
Bronny James to Sierra Canyon has been a “done deal” for at least six weeks. The other “done deal” is that Zaire Wade, Dywane Wade’s son, who will be a senior next year will join Bronny this coming season at Sierra Canyon.
My mom (Leslie) battled stage 4 lung cancer for 8yrs b4 passing peacefully Mon. night. I was bedside for days until her final breath. She raised me on her own a majority of my youth. We had a very strong bond. We used to talk on the phone for hours. I’ll miss that. She was 60. 🌹
Dwyane Wade says on
@NBAonTNT
that he will not attend Sierra Canyon’s CIF State title game. Zaire Wade did not play in the team’s regional final win over Etiwanda Tuesday night. Clearly Wade has an issue with coach Andre Chevalier and makes it clear here.
UCLA’s Mick Cronin on transfer portal and NIL.
“It’s just different. The dying words of every successful business is somebody sitting there saying, ‘Well, this is how we’ve always done things.’”
“I would remind that to the new head of the NCAA. They better heed those words …”
What a night for USA keeper
Ethan Horvath, delivering the match-winning save on a Mexico PK in extra time to preserve a 3-2 CONCACAF title win. Grew up in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Makes the save of his career in his home state. Epic stuff.

Alyssa Thompson taking the field for U.S. women’s soccer in the 83rd minute. Thompson is a 17-year old senior in high school at Harvard-Westlake in Studio City. What a moment!
High school athletes,
•Replace the emojis in your Twitter/Instagram profiles w/ the school you attend & your graduating class.
•Change your location to the city you actually live in.
•Lastly, clean up your timelines. Don’t cuss or retweet inappropriate content.
Mick Cronin on basketball UCLA.
“Unless you’re afraid of competition, how do you not come play at UCLA? Best weather and campus in the best neighborhood in the world.”
Ziaire Williams with the buzzer beater! Sierra Canyon wins 63-61. Trailblazers use a 13-0 run to comeback and advance to third state CIF State Open Division title game. UNREAL finish.
AWESOME MOMENT: Before tonight’s basketball game, there was a miscommunication on the National Anthem, so Simi Valley senior William Flannery stepped up and sang it with no notice and absolutely nailed it. Bravo
Shaan Vanjani is the team manager for the boys basketball team at Notre Dame in Sherman Oaks. He’s certainly PART of the team, but not necessarily ON the team. However, on senior night, he became the STAR of the team.
Here’s how:
USC fans leaving in droves from the Coliseum with 25 seconds left in the 3rd quarter. Stanford just took a 35-13 lead. No energy. Boos after every possession.
I’m hearing USC fans cheering for Stanford to run the score up in hopes Clay Helton’s long reign of mediocrity ends.
Sierra Canyon's Juju Watkins said she invited USC QB Caleb Williams to her game tonight at the Galen Center. He was courtside for her 30-point, 19-rebound performance.
"I invited him. I'm really glad he showed up," Watkins said.
She's already working the Trojan network. Smart.
ANNOUNCEMENT: My time at the Daily News has come to an end, but my service to the high school sports community continues.
Excited to cover all of the
@CIFSS
and
@CIFLACS
moving forward!

Congratulations to Kihei Clark. From Taft High in Woodland Hills to a National Champ at Virginia. Thanks for giving the San Fernando Valley a helluva ride.
Fun moment from UCLA’s postgame presser after the win over ASU.
I tell Jaime Jaquez Jr. Camarillo boys basketball won, then ask him about winning Pac-12 Player of the Year … a question Jaylen Clark was NOT shy about answering.
“…he deserves the damn award.”

@UCLAMBB
Todd Wolfson subs senior PG Jackson Mosley out of the game so the visiting fans can honor a great four-year player. Mosley is tough as nails and the epitome of a floor general. His high school career will end at Oak Park tonight. Salute to a loyal student-athlete.
BREAKING: Bryce James transfers back to Sierra Canyon, becomes eligible immediately.
According to CIF’s A-B-A rule, James is available to play as soon as CIF clears him.

UCLA coach Mick Cronin says Super Smash Bros. is the video game of choice by the players. It's all they want to do.
"I'm sure they'd like to go out, but I don't let them," Cronin said. "I hear them screaming and yelling...they argue over who's the best (Super Smash) player...."
Mick Cronin after UCLA's 79-76 loss to Gonzaga.
"I told (the team) how proud I was of them because they didn't flinch. You lose two of the best players in the Pac-12, Defensive Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year, we still expect to win and that we're still upset we lost."
FINAL
Sierra Canyon 59, St. Vincent-St.Mary 56
Bronny James has a career high 15 points. What a night to do it. In front of 14,000 and in front of his dad.
This image is eerily similar to the recent days under Clay Helton.
With more than 9 minutes to play and USC trailing UCLA 38-13, fans are filing out of the Coliseum.
BREAKING: LAUSD agrees to double coaching stipends. Looks like football HC will increase from 2,811 to 5,622. Basketball and baseball HC from 2,512 to 5,024.
Mr. Camarillo turned Mr. Westwood. UCLA’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. honored on Senior Night.
Mr. Jaquez literally lifts Mick Cronin off his feet with a bear hug. Lol
Granada Hills baseball coach Matt Matuszak proposes on senior day after his now-fiancé throws out the ceremonial first pitch.
@CoachTooz
She said yes! 💎
I'm not kidding. Amari Bailey just dunked on the whole Corona Centennial team off two feet. LeBron and Drake came out of their seats. It was unreal.
Sierra Canyon 39, Corona Centennial 39.
BREAKING: Brandon Boston Jr., known as BJ Boston, is headed to Sierra Canyon. The Trailblazers add another 5-star basketball recruit to their roster. Boston has offers from Duke and Kentucky.
Bronny James warming up. He hasn’t even suited up this season in Sierra Canyon’s 15 games. Now, he’ll make his debut in the CIF Open Division final tonight. He’s coming off knee surgery on his meniscus in February.
Sierra Canyon girls basketball star MacKenly Randolph said she’s down to three schools for college: Notre Dame, Louisville and Michigan State.
A bright, energetic and talented young lady. Daughter of former NBA standout Zach Randolph.
UPDATED: More on Bronny James’ story after talking to Cedars Sinai cardiologist Dr. Ernst von Schwarz.
“It is a condition,” von Schwarz said. “There’s different causes for it, but usually there is an underlying, often congenital condition – meaning the people, the athletes are…
It's decision time for LeBron James. The Lakers will retire Pau Gasol's jersey at home Tuesday night. Sierra Canyon and Bronny James play in the CIF State D-I regional final Tuesday night in what could be his last high school game. Both games tip at 7 p.m.
Bruins in the wild: UCLA’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. makes a fan’s day by stopping to take a selfie on his way into Pauley Pavilion for today’s Pac-12 game against Washington State. Camarillo’s finest.
Crespi’s new coach Derek Fisher held his first meeting with players/parents Monday evening.
His son Drew Fisher (‘24) was in attendance (transfer from Sierra Canyon) and Matt Barnes’ twins Carter and Isaiah (will be freshmen) were also in attendance – Fisher’s stepsons.
One of the best outside hitters in SoCal has decided to reclassify, skip her senior year at Alemany High and enroll at USC this fall to play for the Trojans.
London Wijay is a two-time CIF Player of the Year in three years of prep volleyball.
BREAKING: Bryce James (‘25) has completed enrollment to Notre Dame/Sherman Oaks. Will not attend Campbell Hall.
It’s been in motion for weeks. Bryce toured campus July 21. A Campbell Hall official confirmed James un-enrolled from the school Wednesday.
What a pleasure it was to co-host CBS Sports Central with Jim Hill today. It’s been quite the week. Thank you for all the messages of support and love.
When SoFi Stadium was being built - with a roof - the plans got bashed due to Los Angeles’ glorious weather.
Today, the CFP Championship is being played at SoFi while LA is literally flooding. Today, the roof is being praised. It’s LA in a nutshell, you have no idea. Lol
UNC Asheville didn't have any media present for its postgame presser. I stuck around and asked two questions.
I asked coach Mike Morrell if there's anything he did to TRY and prepare his team for the moment ...
My thoughts on USC’s Caleb Williams after losing to UW, holding him accountable to his words/presser behavior. But defending being emotional.
A false sense of machismo in America is epitomized each time an adult male goes after another being emotional. I’ll never understand it.
Today was my 30th birthday. Last night I covered the D2 Southern Section final and today covered two City Section finals. I truly enjoyed every second of it. Thank you for the continued support and readership of my coverage. Again, always the last one to leave the stadium. 🤙🏼
A lot of food talk today.
Those who claim In-N-Out isn’t the best fast food burger around are too enamored with trying to be different or a “foodie”.
Stop.
In-N-Out is the best and it’s not even close. It hits all the marks: flavor, value, ingredients.
I know the passing of Kobe is tragic, it’s heart wrenching. Everyone paying tribute to the lifelong Laker. But I can’t wrap my head around the loss of Gigi. Only 13 years old. It’s unbelievable.
USC’s season will flounder from here. Caleb Williams’ commitment will be question due to his NFL future. Lincoln Riley’s name will be rumored for NFL jobs. Players will stop taking blame for Alex Grinch because nobody cares. It will be a whirlwind from here on out.
The news of former Sylmar High and UCLA standout basketball player Tyler Honeycutt is tragic. I've spoken to some of his UCLA teammates when he was in Westwood - they are all beside themselves and devastated.
5 championships in 24 hours.
Almost 8 years w/ the Daily News. I have NO CLUE what my next step is. I’m dabbling in so much (preps, college, some TV, breakfast burritos lol).
But what I do know is: I’m having fun.
Thank you to those who read, support and follow along.
This is a new one:
Granite Hills was on the verge of pulling out of its game at St. Francis tonight saying it couldn’t get buses. St. Francis said, “No problem, we’ll pick you up!”
St. Francis’ bus company will pick up Granite Hills and bring them to La Canada. Game on.
New UCLA football signee Dante Moore already getting love in Pauley Pavilion. PA announcer recognized Signing Day and the crowed cheered when Moore’s picture appeared on the jumbotron.
This was awesome. Ball got stuck on top of the backboard, so after a couple failed attempts, the Indiana cheer/stunt team got involved and the arena went nuts.
This has to make the cut for One Shining Moment. 😂

Bishop Amat overcomes a 14-point deficit three different times to knock off Sierra Canyon 31-28 in double OT. Isaac Ochoa hits the 34-yarder to win the game. What a way to start the Mission League. Un. Real. Game.
