Despite taking an early 25-21 first-half lead after holding the visiting Hanford Bullpups to just nine second-quarter points, the Bullpups turned things around in the second half, outscoring Lemoore 30-17 to outdistance the Tigers 51-42 in a key West Yosemite League showdown.

The Tigers Caleb Goudeau scored the first four points to lead the Tigers. Demel Turner tossed in a two-pointer, and Deandre Johnson followed with a three-point field goal to take the quick 9-0 lead.

The Tigers led 25-21 at the half, but the Bullpups turned things around to take the lead and ensure a 51-42 victory.

Lemoore fell to 11-9 overall and is currently 1-3 in the WYL as the Tigers hope to turn things around Thursday night with another home contest against Redwood High School. Hanford is 2-2 in the WYL and 13-8 overall.

Mt. Whitney currently leads the league with a perfect 5-0 WYL mark and a 23-0 season record.
