Tiger boys fall further behind in West Yosemite League; girls' game postponed to Monday
The Tigers didn’t do themselves any favors after losing to Hanford Friday night in the school’s Event Center 77-55, a loss that dropped them to 2-4 in the WYL, with just six league games left to play. The Tigers gave a non-league contest Monday (Jan. 23) against Centennial High School in Bakersfield.

The boys return to WYL action on Wednesday (Jan. 25) with a home game against Hanford West. The Lemoore ladies will play the Huskies in Hanford.
The Tigers, in December’s Kings County Classic, defeated the Bullpups 69-60.
Lemoore held a 22-21 first quarter lead before the Bullpups erupted for 30 second-quarter points to take a commanding 51-31 lead into the second half. The Tigers were led by Joemyl Ragunton’s 19 points, but it wasn’t enough as the Tigers fell to 7-14 overall.
For the Bullpups, Karsten Gregory had 15 points and Jayshaun Collins had 13 points as Hanford improved to 12-9 overall and 4-2 in league play. Hanford, with Friday night’s victory, is just one game out of first place in the WYL. Redwood currently leads the pack with a 4-1 mark.
Friday night’s girls’ basketball game in Hanford had to be postponed due to the weather. Lemoore High School Athletic Director Brady Holaday told The Leader that continuing rainstorms caused a leak in the Hanford gym. The two teams will play Monday night. The Tigers go into that contest sporting a 3-2 record in the WYL.
