Lemoore’s varsity boys’ basketball team turned in a couple of impressive performances in the Holiday Invitational Basketball Tournament, winning its first two games to advance in the prestigious Fresno tournament.

The Tigers defeated Washington Union in Wednesday’s opener 68-60 and then turned in a solid performance in Thursday’s 56-54 victory over Sunnyside.

The Tigers, on Friday night, took on West Yosemite League rival, Redwood, a team they’ll have to play twice in the coming months and ended up on the wrong side of a 90-57 outcome. It was the first-time Redwood has beaten Lemoore since January 15, 2014. Since then the Tigers have run off four victories in a row.

The Tigers will play the Rangers again January 5 in Lemoore at 7:30 p.m. Lemoore’s next action comes December 23 against Centennial High in Bakersfield.

Lemoore plays Fresno High School tonight (Dec. 17) at 6 p.m. in the tourney finale.
