1 player out of Rancho Christian (Calif.), would face DeMatha at 11 a.m. and Sierra Canyon (Calif.), the traveling basketball circus featuring Bronny James and Zaire Wade, was set to take on Paul VI at 1 p.m. But I walked out there and said, ‘Whoa.’ It was just a different energy,” Paul VI Coach Glenn Farello said. Paul VI, already prepared for the type of environment that follows Sierra Canyon everywhere, now had one more spectator to impress. Maybe some of them had come to cheer on California’s main attraction, but by that point Paul VI had officially stolen the show. Before DeMatha took down Rancho Christian and Paul VI beat Sierra Canyon, O’Connell began the day with a 73-72 win over California powerhouse Mater Dei.
