It had to be Ayden Gaines.
With Claremore trailing by four and facing third down from the Bartlesville 11-yard line with 48 seconds remaining, the circumstances almost seemed predetermined for the senior receiver, whose jersey number matched the exact yardage the Zebras needed to retake the lead.
Gaines had already spent most of the night proving nearly impossible to stop, and all that remained was for Kellen Gaede to make the game-winning pass.
The senior quarterback took the snap and fired toward Gaines, who leaped high above the defenders and pulled down the pass for their second touchdown connection of the night. The score pushed Claremore back in front and ultimately delivered a dramatic 35-32 victory Friday night over the Bruins at Lantow Field.
It was the program's fourth-straight victory over the Bruins.
