Despite starting the high school basketball season in Southern California with a perfect 7-0 mark, national power
Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth) has suffered a number of significant personnel losses. At the top of the list is four-star guard
Chance Westry, a Pennsylvania native who is returning home and no longer with the program due to personal reasons, head coach Andre Chevalier told the
Los Angeles Daily News.
Regarded as the No. 34 overall prospect in the Class of 2022, Westry averaged 14.2 points per outing in five appearances this season. He did not play in Sierra Canyon's previous two contests.
Max Allen, a 6-foot-8 post player, left the team before the regular season officially got underway April 22.
Bronny James is also unlikely to join the lineup this year after tearing his meniscus in February and 7-foot-3 center
Harold Yu, who lives in China, also will not join the team.
Despite the voids in the lineup, the Trailblazers have now won 59 consecutive league games and remain a strong contenders to capture their third consecutive CIF Southern Section Open Division title. Playoffs begin May 28.
