Henderson — The Clark Chargers claimed the Class 4A Southern Region boys basketball title with a convincing 77-62 triumph over the Legacy Longhorns on Saturday at Foothill High School.
Chargers Build Unshakable Early Advantage
Clark wasted no time asserting control. The Chargers opened with an 8-0 run, capped by an alley-oop dunk to star forward Devan Christion. That effort propelled them to a 21-11 lead after the first quarter.
Christion dominated the opening half, scoring 14 points as Clark extended its margin to 41-28 at halftime. The Desert League champions maintained double-digit separation for most of the contest, showcasing the maturity that has defined their 13-game winning streak.
Legacy Fights Back but Chargers Respond Decisively
Legacy mounted its strongest push in the second half. The Mountain League top seed chipped away with an 8-2 spurt to start the third quarter and sank key 3-pointers late in the frame.
A layup by Zayden Jeffries trimmed the deficit to 60-52 with over six minutes left in the fourth. Clark coach Brent Rothman praised his team’s poise: “We just stayed disciplined mentally. We stuck to the game plan and focused on hitting singles instead of trying to hit home runs.”
The Chargers answered with a devastating 14-0 run, attacking the rim relentlessly. Christion sealed the surge with a one-handed dunk off a turnover, restoring a comfortable cushion.
