Rancho Christian has become the first team to beat Sierra Canyon to win the Classic at Damien, with an 85-81 win in overtime Monday.

It was a quiet day for Bronny James and Zaire Wade, the sons of NBA legends LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, respectively.

The former was in the game for just five minutes for Sierra Canyon and didn't get on the scoreboard, while the latter was in action for 13 minutes, scoring just two points with this effort:

Ziaire Williams made a big impression on his debut for Sierra Canyon, posting 28 points on the night. Per Tarek Fattal of Los Angeles Daily News, he tied the game at 69-69 to force overtime:

However, 30 points from Gonzaga commit Dominick Harris for Rancho Christian, as well as 16 points and 11 rebounds from competition MVP Evan Mobley were enough to see the team to victory.

At half time in the contest, Dwyane Wade and LeBron's other son Bryce treated the crowd in attendance to a short one-on-one game:
