Bryce James, the Arizona Wildcats commit and son of four-time NBA champ LeBron James, helped his team, Sierra Canyon High School, to win the 2025 CIF State Boys Basketball Championships with a 58-53 victory over Lincoln on Friday.
The achievement made his grandmother, Gloria James, proud, and she shared a carousel post featuring Bryce James holding the trophy, hugging his little sister and father and celebrating with his teammates with a heartfelt caption:

Bryce James and Sierra Canyon's path to the championship
The Trailblazers entered the 2025 CIF State Boys Basketball Championships with a 22-7 overall record. However, they put up a phenomenal display to win the State Championships.
In the first round on March 4, they bear Centennial 73-48, where James scored 15 points. They entered Round two and secured a 78-45 win against Santa Barbara on March 6 to move to the regional semifinals. After a tight 68-64 win against JSerra Catholic on March 8, Sierra Canyon entered the Regional Final.
They sealed a 74-68 win over Redondo United on March 11 to move to the State Final Round and beat Lincoln on Friday.
Bryce James will now be ready to join the Arizona Wildcats after considering offers from Ohio State and Duquesne. He will be joined by Dwayne Aristode at Tommy Lloyd's season next season.
