Sierra Canyon’s top team earned a berth to the state playoffs last year, but they didn’t start off their season on pace. Sierra Canyon Coach Jerry Hawn explains how he changed up his strategy after going 1-9 during the first half of last season and highlights some of this seasons games where his team has exceeded expectations.
The “top class sierra canyon season 2” is a new show on the Lifetime network that follows the lives of Sierra Canyon High School’s Top Class. The show was released in 2018 and has been met with mixed reviews, but it does highlight the return of Sierra Canyon’s Top Class.
Tevin Tavares, an award-winning filmmaker, documents a new season of Top Class: The Life and Times of the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers as he follows Sierra Canyon’s preeminent high school basketball team.
Tavares has shown an extraordinary ability to capture game-changing moments behind the lens, from creating an animated film for 2020’s More Than a Vote campaign to music videos for Damian Lillard and Khalid. He takes some time to reflect on the experience of shooting season 2 as he flies back to Oakland, California for the holidays.
The Trailblazers are back in action after missing a whole season due to the COVID-19 epidemic.
With BJ Boston (Clippers), Ziare Williams (Grizzlies), and Zaire Wade (Sat Lake City All-Stars) all graduating, the new-look club turned to its younger leaders Amari Bailey, Shy Odom, and Bronny James to fill the vacuum. Due to an injury, the club starts the season without James, one of several setbacks that spectators will see.
Tavares emphasizes the need of publicizing these young men’s demands. While their success on the court has earned them the title of rock stars, they are also working hard to improve themselves off the court.
“The show does a fantastic job of humanizing these young guys,” Tavares adds. “They’re dealing with injuries, losses, and difficulties and tribulations on a daily basis, all while attempting to manage everything else that life throws at them.”
The coaching staff, led by Andre “Coach Dre” Chevalier, is an important aspect of the team’s success. Coach Dre has emphasized the need of responsibility throughout the season as the Trailblazers strive to win another state title.
“Coach Dre’s relationship with his players is unlike any other, which makes it much more relatable. When we discuss topics like prejudice and when athletes lose, you can see how emotional it is,” Tavares explains.
The squad also suffered the loss of Terrance Clark, a 19-year-old who was honored during a game after his death.
Throughout each on-screen connection, camaraderie is on full show. This season’s topic, according to the Oakland filmmaker, was “Family Ties.”
“I knew this season’s subject would be familial relationships, so it’s remarkable how the universe simply coincides.” When the (Baby Keem and Kendrick) song was out, I knew it had to be the season’s theme song. ‘Season 1’s theme was more cinematic trap, so we played a lot of Travis Scott and the Black Panther soundtrack…. to set the atmosphere.’ Season 2 has a more lyrical tone to it. Many of these youngsters listen to Lil Durk, Baby Keem, Polo G, and Juice Wrld, which is different from Season 1. This time, we concentrated on more lyrical and soothing songs.”
Tevin Tavares usually sends a playlist to Casey Gibson, his songwriting collaborator. They use it as a guide to score the series there. The Last Dance documentary provided musical inspiration to the crew as well.
Season 2 of Top Class follows in the footsteps of the first season, which was a huge hit.
On IMbdTV, you can watch the series for free.
