The McDonald's All American Games host the nation's top high school seniors on one court.
The 2023 edition tipped off with the girls' game first and the boys' contest following shortly thereafter.
Sierra Canyon High School (California) was well-represented on both sides with Bronny James and Judea Watkins headlining their respective games.
By the end of both contests, 48 players represented themselves on their biggest stage yet.
Here are the top moments from Tuesday night in Houston:
