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.
Perhaps leading the charge for the Tigers in Friday’s big win over visiting Justin Garza was Tiger favorite Kobe Green, who turned in another solid performance, leading the Tigers with 143 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Lemoore also got help from Lucas Jensen, who accumulated 44 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns for his team.
Against Justin Garza, Lemoore accumulated 226 yards in the air and ended up with 140 yards on the ground on 28 carries. Tiger receivers caught 22 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns. Lemoore finished with 366 total yards.
