Lemoore's Kobe Green stole the football and ran it all the way four a Lemoore touchdown.

Lemoore will have some work to do as the Tigers prepare for a trip to take on South High from Bakersfield. The Tigers are hoping to recover from what can only be described as a disappointing 42-13 loss to visiting Sanger High, during which the visiting Apaches scored 28 first-half points – including 21 in the second quarter to quickly get past the vaunted Tigers Friday night in Tiger Stadium.

Lemoore fell behind early in the first quarter when Sanger’s Bryson Baker scored on a 33-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead.

The Tigers responded with a 50-yard touchdown when the Tigers returned a fumbled Sanger football for a TD.

The Apaches led at the half 28-7.

Lemoore’s only other score came in the third period when Spencer Silva scored from a yard out to cut the gap to 28-13. But that was the extent of Lemoore’s scoring prowess as Sanger completed a 42-13 upset of the Tigers.

On Friday, the 2-2 Tigers are headed for South Bakersfield for a matchup with the 1-3 South High Spartans.
