Tiger offense stymied Friday night as powerful Clovis West football team finds Tiger Stadium appealing in 40-14 win.
Clovis scored on a 21-yard field in the first period with about three minutes left in the quarter. Then, with about a minute remaining in the opening quarter, Clovis quarterback Ryan Markarian completed a 51-yard pass to Marshal Sanders for a touchdown and a 0-0 lead.
Markarian connected again in the second period, completing an 18-yard pass to Sanders for a 17-0 lead. With about a minute left in the first half, Clovis kicker Johnny Enriquez connected on a 15-yard field goal 20-7 halftime lead.

Clovis held the Tigers scoreless for much of the second half, with the exception of a long Chambers pass to Scott that put the ball on the West two-yard line. Chambers carried the ball over for a touchdown on the next play, trimming the Clovis lead to 26-14.
In the fourth quarter, Markarian completed a 71-yard pass to Sanders for a touchdown and a 32-14 Clovis West lead, giving his squad a bit of breathing room between his players and the Tigers.
It wasn't until late in the final quarter that Clovis West upped their margin, scoring a 25-yard rushing touchdown and a final 40-14 lead.
Lemoore hits the road again on Friday, Sept. 9, when Coach Rich Tuman's 2-1 Tigers take on Sanger in a 7:30 p.m. game. Lemoore will have a week off before hosting South Bakersfield in a non-league game on Sept. 23 in Tiger Stadium.
