BARBERTON, Ohio -- LeBron James doesn't look ready to sign any shoe deals or drive off to the NBA in his Hummer just yet. The high school star is savoring his final days as an amateur.

James began playing for another state title Friday night, just hours after a court case on his eligibility took another unexpected turn.

The nation's top player scored 30 points -- 14 on dunks -- to lead No. 1 Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary to an 84-30 win over Akron Kenmore in a Division II sectional final.

James' night was over after three quarters. With his team up by 50 points, he spent the fourth on the bench, relaxing and resting for a March 5 tournament game in Canton.

``It's March Madness now, no prisoners,'' James said. ``We're just trying to take it to a new degree. It's playoff time. If you lose one, you're out -- whether you're the best team in the country or the sorriest team in the country.''

Meanwhile, a lawyer for the Ohio High School Athletic Association -- which ruled James ineligible -- asked a judge Friday to dismiss James' case on the grounds that the 18-year-old superstar did not properly appeal the OHSAA's ruling.

In asking for a dismissal, OHSAA attorney Steven Craig argued that James ``cannot maintain the present action due to his failure to exhaust the administrative remedies afforded him.''

OHSAA commissioner Clair Muscaro decided on Jan. 31 that James had violated an amateur bylaw by accepting two sports jerseys from a Cleveland clothing store without paying for them.

Muscaro also ruled that St. Vincent-St. Mary, ranked No. 1 by USA Today, had to forfeit a win over Buchtel on Feb. 26 -- one day after James received the two ``throwback'' jerseys valued at $845.

James was temporarily reinstated on Feb. 4 by Summit County Court Judge James Williams, who ordered the 6-foot-8 senior to serve a two-game suspension.

By granting a temporary restraining order, Williams allowed James to continue playing. The judge has postponed an injunction hearing scheduled for March 5 and ordered James' attorneys to respond to the OHSAA motion by March 10.

James was unaware of the OHSAA's latest move.

``St. Vincent-St. Mary versus Kenmore,'' he said after the game, dismissing any questions about his case.

James' coach, Dru Joyce II, said his team has other things to worry about.

``That's for the attorneys to handle,'' Joyce said. ``We're just talking basketball and we don't know anything about it.''

James, who is expected to be the No. 1 pick in this year's NBA draft, sat out the school's regular-season finale on Monday and was back on the floor for the first time since Feb. 16.

He wasn't rusty.

James scored 24 points, including at least 12 on an assortment of dunks in the first half as the Fighting Irish (19-1) opened a 55-19 halftime lead.

On his most impressive slam, James soared down the lane over a defenseless and stunned Kenmore forward Brett Woodring, who briefly thought about taking a charge.

As the sellout crowd of 2,450 cheered during a timeout, James strutted around the court, pointing to his chest and screaming after what was easily one of the best dunks of his celebrated career.

James didn't know how to rate the dunk.

``You mean when I dunked on that dude?'' James said.

``It wasn't his most stylish,'' guard Dru Joyce III said, interrupting his famous teammate.

``It was the most thunderous,'' James said. ``I showed my weight room.''

Woodring was impressed.

``What was I thinking?'' Woodring said. ``I was thinking, 'What am I trying to do taking a charge?' He just sailed right over me.''
