It was this Saturday night’s high school event near the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. St. Vincent High School – St. Mary where LeBron James evolved before entering the NBA, received that of Sierra Canyon, where his two sons, Bryce and Bronny, currently play.
The meeting was obviously expected. The Akron coach, a certain Dru Joyce III, then a former teammate of LBJ and a friend of the King, had even declared that he wanted “beat bronny” before figuring it out.

The former pro leader, surpassed in his career by Monaco and Limoges, saw his plan come to fruition as St. Vincent – St. Mary won 67-61 and Bronny James missed his match. The Sierra Canyon captain missed his first five shots and ended up being fouled out with 2’30 to go with 7 points on the clock. Bryce James (15, 2nd year), did not play.
“We were awful. The energy at the start of the match was awful. The execution was horrible”, André Chevalier complainedSierra Canyon coach, before flying to the aid of her captain. “Bronny always plays hard and plays right. He sometimes he doesn’t shoot, but he does everything else for us.”
LeBron James was unable to attend the match as he would have played in Los Angeles in the early afternoon on Friday and Sunday. It was the first time his two sons had made the Sierra Canyon team to face his old high school. The first two times Bronny James faced them alone, his team won, 59-56 in Columbus and 71-53 in Los Angeles by 19 points.
