Redwood 42, Sanger 41

Ninth-seeded Redwood tied it late in regulation and beat No. 9 Sanger 42-41 in a Division II opener on Jordan Morrison's 2-point conversion run in the second extra period Friday night at Mineral King Bowl.

Raul Alvarez's 20-yard scoring pass to Malik Harrison sent the game into the first overtime 28-28.

The Rangers took possession first in OT and scored on Morrison's 2-yard run. The Apaches knotted it on Chris Santos' 3-yard burst.

Sanger took the lead in the second OT when Johnny Pinedo broke a 25-yard run for a touchdown and Steven Villagomez kicked the extra point.

Redwood didn't take long to score on Raul Alvarez's 14-yard pass to Manuel Rubalcaba. Coach Shaun Ball went for broke for a 2-point conversion and was rewarded when Morrison busted into the end zone.

Sanger's Santos finished with four rushing touchdowns.

Lemoore 49, Reedley 10 Deandre Daise rushed 16 times for 123 yards and two touchdowns to pace the No. 6 Tigers to the home rout of the No. 11 Pirates.

Frontier 42, Hoover 12 The seventh-seeded Titans' ground game was too much for the No. 10 Patriots' passing attack.

Hoover's Nick Peterson went out with a big night. He completed 23 of 44 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns. But the Titans picked him off four times.

Division III

In a defensive struggle, the teams battled to a 7-7 draw in regulation. Both teams failed to score in the first overtime, then Delano moved ahead on David Ibarra's 32-yard field goal in the second extra period.

Needing a score to tie or win, Frontier pulled off the upset when Evaro found daylight and the end zone.

Kingsburg 39, South 0 The No. 5 Vikings, after a slow start, busted it open at home with a 26-point second quarter, keyed by Roman Rosales' 68-yard interception return against the 12th seed.

The North Yosemite League champion got two touchdowns apiece from Donald Campbell and Ranferi Pineda.

Mt. Whitney 59, Golden Valley 28 Larry Jenkins' 3-yard score on a blocked punt set off a Pioneers' stampede to a 44-16 lead at the half to decide this one early.
