Three-star Arizona commit Bryce James, the son of NBA legend LeBron James, often promotes other high school hoopers from Southern California. The Sierra Canyon shooting guard showed some love to three-star Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) point guard Lino Mark, sharing the Rutgers signee flaunting his new outfit on his Instagram story.
"OC," James wrote.
Mark has created a formidable backcourt with No. 1-ranked junior Tyran Stokes at Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) this season, helping the Knights to a 24-6 overall record. The team is also the No. 5 seed in the 2025 CIF Southern Section Boys' Basketball Championships Open Division, with Bryce James and Sierra Canyon at No. 6.

Bryce James and Sierra Canyon have a tall task ahead in the next 2 playoff games
The 2025 CIF Southern Section Boys' Basketball Championships Open Division group play will continue on Tuesday, and this will include Bryce and the rest of the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers squaring off against the No. 3 seed in the playoffs, St. John Bosco, led by No. 2-ranked junior Brandon McCoy Jr.
After being out for several games, McCoy is back and leading the Braves to a 2-0 start in pool play. St. John Bosco is regarded as one of the best teams, not just in California, but in the country, which means this will be a tough matchup for Sierra Canyon.
After St. John Bosco, Sierra Canyon will face Roosevelt, the No. 2 seed, who is led by five-star senior Brayden Burries. They finished the regular season with a 28-2 record and the top place in the Big VIII League, going undefeated against all other teams in the league (7-0).
