SAN ANTONIO, Texas - LaMarcus Penigar put on a show in the UIL 2A boys basketball state championship game.

Penigar, a senior guard, scored 41 points in 27 minutes, leading Clarendon to a 65-51 victory over previously undefeated Lipan in the 2A Texas state title game on Saturday afternoon at the Alamodome.

It's the second consecutive state championship for Clarendon (31-2) and head coach Boston Hudson.

Penigar was named the 2A State MVP after finishing with 41 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. He's the first player to score more than 40 points in a 2A state tournament game since Frankston's Jimmy Moore in 1964.

Lipan, who came into the game 39-0, was led by Tate Branson who finished with 18 points and 6 assists. Garret Smith had 11 points and 7 rebounds and Tripp Phillips added 10 points.

Cayden D’Costa added 10 points for Clarendon.

Texas Tech football commit Jmaury Davis, who finished with six points, threw down a nasty windmill dunk in transition, which you can watch below.
