Bryce James' Sierra Canyon teammate Gavin Hightower will be part of the Boys Ballislife All-American game. The game is an event started in 2011 by ballislife.com to give prospects who do not make it to the McDonald's All-American roster a stage to showcase their potential and skills.
On Monday, Ballislife shared a clip of Hightower on Instagram, displaying his dribbling and offensive skills.
"Sierra Canyon’s ⭐️ Point Guard @gavin.hightower is the next announcement for the Boys Ballislife All-American Game 😤😤 It’s all going down May 3rd in Long Beach, CA 🌊🏝️"

The 6-foot-1 senior point guard plays alongside Bryce James, the younger son of NBA legend LeBron James. Hightower has committed to Iona College and is set to begin his collegiate basketball career next season.
He played an important role in leading Sierra Canyon to the CIF State Division I championship. He scored 25 points in the regional final against Redondo Union, including an offensive rebound at a crucial moment and a 3-point play in the final minute.
In the state final against Lincoln of Stockton, he contributed 15 points and nine rebounds. This helped the team secure the program's fourth state title and the first since 2019. Gavin Hightower's performance has also earned him the "Athlete of the Week" honor from the Los Angeles Daily News.
Gavin Hightower showcases confidence and playfulness off-court
In an Instagram clip on Jan. 4, Gavin Hightower played "We Listen and We Don't Judge" with teammates Bryce James and Chris Nwuli.
James started the game lightheartedly.
"I'll drink like a whole container of pickle juice," he said.
He was followed by Nwuli who said:
"Last week Gav (Gavin Hightower), I stepped all over your durag, bro. One day, out of the car and you put it on right after."
Hightower followed Nwuli with a relatively tame confession.
"I sometimes listen to country music before our games," Hightower said.
As Hightower is set to begin his collegiate career, he'll get a chance to first showcase his skills at the Ballislife event on May 3.
