Sierra Canyon secured a 63-46 win over Parkview in the first round of the Bass Pro Tournament of Champions. Star senior guard Amari Bailey and senior forward Kijani Wright led the way with 16 points each — Wright led all rebounders with 10 as well.
Although the Trailblazers won by nearly 20 points, they had to overcome a sloppy and inefficient first half to come away with the victory.
Parkview jumped out to a surprising 13-3 first-quarter lead halfway through the first quarter.
