The Claremore Tigers executed a dominant performance on Friday night, eclipsing the Pryor Zebras 63-20 in a thrilling Battle of Highway 20. Defensive back Ayden Gaines led the way with two fumble recoveries, including a game-sealing strip-and-score on a fourth-down play. His efforts, coupled with a physical play by sophomore running back Kannon Kinnard, who rushed for 172 yards and scored five touchdowns, resulted in the largest margin in series history.
The Tigers, who had lost the past five meetings, spoiled the Zebras' first Battle of Highway 20 at their new stadium. Head coach Jarrett Hurt praised his team's toughness, crediting their physicality and preparation for the victory.
