    “Champions don’t talk, they just perform.”
    The Claremore High School freshmen Zebras brought home the Metro Lakes title last Monday night at Bishop Kelley, thanks to the “Heisman-like” performance of all-purpose standout Dustin Basks.
    Basks scored Claremore’s first 20 points on a pass play, a kickoff return and an interception return — all in the first half.
    Looking like former Michigan Wolverine sensation Charles Woodson, Basks proved to be ‘unstoppable’ while leading the Zebras to a 33-13 victory over the previously unbeaten Comets.
