A day after surrendering the lead late in a loss to Mount Pleasant because of being pressured into turnovers, Robert E. Lee's miscues caused it to surrender the game early in a 68-43 loss to Dallas Skyline.
It was one of five contests featured on the final day of play in the 10th Annual Burger King Classic held Saturday at UT Tyler's Louise Herrington Patriot Center.
In the other contests: Lindale outlasted Brownsboro to win 76-67 in overtime, Clarksville held on to beat Van (59-58), Mount Pleasant downed Chapel Hill (54-36) and T.K. Gorman got past All Saints (54-43).
Dallas Skyline 68, Lee 43
The Red Raiders led 18-16 in the second quarter before being outscored 17-7 the rest of the way to trail 33-25 at halftime.
It quickly went from bad to worse for REL in the third quarter as Lee committed numerous turnovers that Skyline turned into a 19-0 run.
"Their defense was impeccable," said Lee head coach Alan Johnston. "They had us out of rhythm and out of synch. They showed us why they are one of the top five teams in Class 5A this year."
Skyline's offense was provided by Zachary Williams, who led all players with 31 points and 10 rebounds. Trevoy Pointer had 14 points and Cameron Miles finished with 13 points.
Lee junior Kerry Jones was the lone double-figure man for the Red Raiders, finishing with 15 points and 10 rebounds.
REL's loss is its third in a row and it drops the Red Raiders to 1-3. Skyline is now 2-2.
The Red Raiders next face Nacogdoches at 7:30 p.m. Monday at REL Varsity Gym.
Lindale 76, Brownsboro 67 (OT)
The Lindale Eagles outscored Brownsboro 11-2 in overtime to claim a come-from behind- victory.
The Eagles battled back from nine down in the last two minutes of regulation and tied the contest at 65-65 on a Cedric Johnson putback with 4.4 seconds left in the contest.
The Eagles received six points from Travis Rhea in the extra period, while going 4-of-4 at the charity stripe.
Brownsboro had built a 13-point advantage on two occasions and held a 64-55 lead with just over two minutes left on a basket from Seth Martin.
Jones led the Eagles in scoring with 17 points and Will Kyle, who nearly ended the game with a 3-pointer at the buzzer, and Rhea each scored 11 points.
The Bears had three players in double figures with Keaton Russell (12 points), Keith Johnson (11 points) and Ryan Smith (10 points).
Clarksville 59, Van 58
The Clarksville Tigers received two clutch free throws with 10.3 seconds remaining from Ricky Roberts and Van's shot to win bounced off the rim to secure a 59-58 victory.
The Vandals had pulled within two at the 47-second mark on two free throws by Kyle Price.
Van secured a 10-second violation and Jermie Calhoun, who scored 15 points, rebounded and missed a shot before Peyton Neill rebounded and was fouled.
Neill was true on one free throw attempt and Calhoun stole the inbounds pass and dished to Jordan Schmid for a bucket and a 58-57 lead with 16.3 seconds left in the fourth period.
Roberts scored 25 points and DeCarlos Williams added 14 points for the Tigers.
Aric Stroop led the Vandals with 16 points and Price finished with 12 points.
Mount Pleasant 54, Chapel Hill 36
The Tigers capitalized on a slow offensive start from Chapel Hill and never let the Bulldogs into the game.
Mount Pleasant led 15-4 after the first quarter and increased it to 26-14 at halftime.
The Tigers maintained after that, using 18 points from Trenston Hill and 13 by Jason Armstead to coast to an 18-point victory.
Chapel Hill was paced in the loss by 14 points from T.J. Riley.
T.K. Gorman 54, All Saints 43
T.K. Gorman received a late scoring surge from Riley Floyd and Stephen Ray to pull away from All Saints in the fourth quarter. Floyd scored seven of his final 10 points in the final frame with Ray chipping in five of his game-high 16.
The Trojans trailed the entire first half and were down 24-21 at halftime, but used a 6-0 run early in the third to grab a 27-26 advantage.
All Saints later led 30-29 on a basket by Ryan Riley, but the Crusaders took over after that. Gorman closed the third quarter with a 7-0 run and held off All Saints in the fourth.
Miles Kemp put an exclamation mark on the Gorman win with a one-handed slam dunk in the final seconds for an 11-point victory.
Gorman had four players finish in double figures. Along with Floyd and Ray, Kemp scored 10 and Nick Brunson scored 13.
All Saints was led by senior Ike Onwuzurumba, who scored 11 points and pulled down 16 rebounds.
