Earlier Action
Lemoore’s varsity girls’ volleyball team remained perfect Tuesday night when it defeated visiting Sunnyside High School in the school’s Event Center. Granted, it was the season opener for the Tigers.

Lemoore improved to 2-0 by crushing Edison High School on Thursday 3-0. The Tigers won in straight sets, 25-21, 25-22 and 25-9.
In fact, it was a good night all around for the school’s volleyball program as the freshmen, and junior varsity teams also won.

Lemoore is scheduled to play Coalinga High School on Tuesday (Aug. 29) at 6 p.m. in Coalinga.
