But in the end, it was the Panthers who came out on top with a 50-46 victory over The Bee’s No. 15 Madera.
The way the game ended with the score is not surprising, but the Coyotes, who were on a hot streak earlier in the season, found themselves looking up in the County/Metro Athletic Conference standings.
Memorial is now 5-3 and 1-2 and trails Sanger by two games.
The Panthers, meanwhile, improved to 2-1 in the CMAC and tied with Bullard in second place.
The Knights defeated Garza 30-21.
Kingsburg 10, Kerman 7
The Vikings’ stifling defense came through against the ninth-ranked Lions.
No. 25 Kingsburg got a field goal in the second quarter, and that held up the rest of the way, thanks to a strong defense that saw an interception in the third quarter and made a goal-line stand at the 9-yard line in the fourth quarter.
Kingsburg has won five straight games after losing two in a row.
