It was a historic night in Lemoore High School’s Tiger Stadium as the underdog Tigers rallied in the second half of Friday night’s non-league contest against Clovis to beat the surprised Cougars 40-27 on a muggy night before a packed house.

However, the Bears might not be the powerhouse of previous years, as they’ve dropped their first two games, the latest a 21-13 loss to Bullard High. Buchanan also dropped its opener to powerhouse Edison High 13-7.

In Friday night’s game, Lemoore fell behind early and trailed Clovis 27-12 at the half. The Tigers came out like gangbusters in the second half, erupting for four touchdowns to blow past the Cougars and undoubtedly move up in the Central Section football rankings.

A key interception from Trey Perryman and two touchdowns from Tiger Quarterback Cort Groathouse sealed the fate of the Cougars as they were unable to respond, thanks to a suddenly-stingy Lemoore defense.
