"There are All-Star teams. Then there's Sierra Canyon's boys' basketball team, made up of two McDonald's All-Americans, a former Trinity League MVP, a star guard from North Carolina and several other newcomers that complete a nine-man rotation that no one in Southern California has been able to beat."
"The Trailblazers (27-1) won their first Southern Section Open Division title since the pandemic season of 2020 on Saturday night, defeating Mission League rival Harvard-Westlake 59-53 at Toyota Arena in Ontario."
"No opponent had finished within 13 points of Sierra Canyon over the last month, and Chevalier gave credit to Rebibo and the Wolverines for taking them to the brink."
Sierra Canyon's boys' basketball team, featuring two McDonald's All-Americans, a former Trinity League MVP, and a star guard from North Carolina, won the Southern Section Open Division championship with a 59-53 victory over Harvard-Westlake. The Trailblazers' 27-1 record demonstrates their dominance, with no opponent finishing within 13 points over the past month. Coach Andre Chevalier's squad showcased remarkable depth and unselfishness despite concerns about ball-sharing among elite players. Key contributors included Brannon Martinsen with 18 points, Brandon McCoy with 13 points, and Maxi Adams with 12 points. Harvard-Westlake mounted a late comeback, trailing by only three points with 19 seconds remaining before Sierra Canyon secured victory through free throws. The team now pursues a state title as the No. 1 seed in Southern California regional playoffs.
