FOOTBALL: Mistakes prove costly as Claremore falls to Sallisaw in Week Zero
SALLISAW — The swing of emotions was palpable. For a brief moment Friday night, Claremore appeared to have seized control of a game that had spent nearly four quarters refusing to belong to either team. Facing third down in a 14-all game with just more than five minutes remaining, Kellen Gaede dropped back and launched a deep ball to Ayden Gaines for a 43-yard gain to the Sallisaw 5-yard line. ...
Sallisaw claimed a 20-14 victory over Claremore in their Week Zero football game. The game took place at Perry F. Lattimore Stadium. The Zebras committed 13 penalties for 101 yards, lost two fumbles, and were heavily outgained by Sallisaw. However, Claremore had moments of success, notably through their star player, Kellen Gaede, who completed 13 of 20 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown, and a 54-yard touchdown pass to Ayden Gaines.
Despite Gaede's performance and a fourth-quarter touchdown by Gaines, the Claremore Zebras' lack of discipline cost them the game. Sallisaw quarterback Kase Adams was instrumental in their win, completing 12 of 17 passes for 159 yards and scoring all three Black Diamonds touchdowns with his runs.
