LOS ANGELES — As buzz around Bronny James' college commitment continues to grow, the Sierra Canyon boys' basketball senior checked off a major high school honor on Tuesday, tabbed to play in the McDonald's All-American game March 28 at Houston's Toyota Center. James joined Sierra Canyon girls' star Juju Watkins as Trailblazers represented among a group of 48 total named to the men's and women's rosters — the first time, according to historically available rosters, that a Los Angeles-area school has named All-Americans on the men and women's side in the same year. James follows in the footsteps of four Sierra Canyon boys selected as All-Americans in the past three years: now-UCLA guard Amari Bailey and USC big Kijani Wright in 2022, and NBA sophomores BJ Boston and Ziaire Williams in 2020. Watkins was a no-doubt selection, the consensus top women's basketball prospect in the country authoring a historically great senior season for an undefeated Sierra Canyon program. McCain, meanwhile, will cross off one of the final items on a board of high school goals he's been developing for years.
