Lemoore is 2-4 overall and 0-1 in the WYL and has lost four straight since opening the season with a pair of home victories.

The Tigers took the early lead thanks to a 78-yard interception return by Damian Goudeau after a scoreless first period.

Redwood responded with a two-yard TD from Gabe Vasquez and then a Julian Sanchez 23-yard run to put the Rangers up 14-7 at the half.

In the third Sanchez scored from one-yard out – following a long drive – to give his Rangers’ team a 21-7 lead going into the final period.

The Tigers played some tough defense, including this hit by Chris Herrera on Redwood's quarterback Friday night in Visalia.

Lemoore’s only offensive touchdown came in the fourth quarter on a Brandon Hargrove 33-yard pass from Justin Holaday to cut the gap to 21-14. It happened early in the fourth quarter, giving the Tigers plenty of time to make up the touchdown difference.

However, the Tigers couldn’t quite complete the comeback, despite a drive that ended on a fourth down from the Redwood 20.

Hargrove, while held in check on the ground, hauled in five passes for 105 yards, including his 33-yard touchdown reception in the fourth. Holaday completed 12 of 26 for 170 yards with a pair of interceptions.
