Roundup: Sierra Canyon basketball team comes away with 103-80 victory

Chatsworth Sierra Canyon began its long delayed high school basketball season on Thursday night with a 103-80 thrashing of Culver City. The Trailblazers won’t be lacking in entertainment value this season after throwing down at least 10 dunks.

Returnees Amari Bailey and Shy Odom led the way offensively with 23 points each. Ryan Grande, a transfer from La Cañada, scored 20 points, all in the first half when he made six of his seven shots from three-point range. Chance Westry had 15 points and freshman Malik Rasul added 11 points. Josh Smith scored 29 points for Culver City.

It was a difficult night for several Sierra Canyon players after learning of the death of NBA draft prospect Terrence Clarke, 19, who died in a nearby car accident earlier in the day.

“The basketball community is hurt. I’m hurt. It’s another fallen soldier gone too soon,” Bailey said.
