Lemoore’s varsity boys’ and girls’ basketball teams were winners Tuesday night, picking up a pair of West Yosemite League victories over Hanford West. Both squads prepare for upcoming holiday tournament action in Fresno and Clovis.

The boys’ squad, while trailing much of the first half Tuesday night, turned things around in the second half in their Event Center, and came away with a relatively easy 56-38 win.
