On Saturday night, Bronny James and his Sierra Canyon Trail Blazers upset the 9,000+ fans of the Glenbard West, in Chicago. With the game tied at 64 apiece and almost 2 seconds left on the clock, UCLA-commit Amari Bailey passed it out to senior Dylan Metoyer who ended up hitting the buzzer-beating, game-winning three-pointer.
Bailey, the number 2 player in the nation, spoke about the last play after the game. Amari said:
‘‘I knew the attention was going to be on me,’’ Bailey said. ‘‘They’d been doing a good job collapsing on me and drawing charges and fouls. [Metoyer] had been hitting shots for us all night, and I had faith in him. That’s the cherry on top of the crib. I’m so proud of my guys.’’
