Redemption Christian Home School Academy of Houston (RCHA) was a deadly basketball team inside and outside.
The Pride (22-7) came into the Hawk Nation Shootout well known in Texas because of 6-10 TCU recruit Kevin Samuel.
Earlier RCHA whipped Texas High in the semifinals behind the play of Samuel, 74-44. The Pride had beaten Clarksville Friday, 62-56.
After losing three games in two days, Jefferson (6-6) rebounded to win the consolation title over New Boston, 69-46. The Bulldogs opened Saturday's schedule winning a 56-54 overtime thriller over Henderson in the consolation semifinals, while the Lions defeated Daingerfield, 44-40.
Championship
RCHA 67, Clarksville 51
All-tourney selection Kopp and Patterson had four treys each in the first half and The Pride led 20-9 at the first break, and 33-23 at halftime.
Clarksville's 6-8 Clashon Gaffney outplayed Samuel, who fouled out of the game with 5:31 left in the fourth quarter after scoring seven points, blocking eight shots and pulling down a team-high 10 rebounds. Gaffney was responsible for Samuel's foul trouble, scoring a game-high 30 points and grabbing 16 rebounds.
Gaffney's effort was wasted because of RCHA's spectacular shooting. Patterson led The Pride with 25 points, while Kopp contributed 24.
RCHA's biggest lead was 25 in the third quarter, but a conventional three-point play by Gaffney cut that deficit to nine when Samuel fouled out.
Gaffney was also selected to the all-tournament team.
