Lemoore, less than a week after dispatching Justin Garza High School 38-27 in the first round of the Division II Central Section Playoffs, the high-scoring Tigers, The Division II second-ranked team, will take on Sunnyside in a 7 p.m. game in Tiger Stadium on Thursday night.

Lemoore is now 8-3 on the year.

Sunnyside, 10-1, defeated Redwood High School (6-5) in the first round, outscoring the Rangers 39-21 in Friday night’s playoff contest in Fresno.

Should the Tigers get past Sunnyside, they will take on the winner of the No. 3 Centennial High School and No. 11 Madera High in a  Nov. 17 contest in Lemoore.
