Lopez’s 4 TDs guides Fort Stockton freshman to win

Body

In the fourth quarter of Thursday’s game the freshman Panthers were deadlocked at 22-22 with Pecos after multiple lead changes.

The Panther defense needed a critical stop and a quick score with little time remaining to come away with a win in regulation.

Fort Stockton’s defense did just that and Cedric Lopez made the most of the opportunity on the other side of the ball with a 74-yard run to endzone to secure a 30-22 victory for the Panthers.

Greek Beef and Feta Patties with Lemon-Basil Caper Sauce

Body

If you are trying to cut carbs out of your diet yet still attempt to find delicious meals that are satisfying, these Greek beef and feta patties are an excellent choice. The emphasis in this dish is on the beef patties, and while that may be the focus as far as protein is concerned, it is not the star. This dish is a team. Without all the side components and the delicious sauce blend, it would remain sadly one noted.

All Saints, All Hallows Day

Body
Nov. 1 is a holy day for honoring all hallowed or holy ones. It had its first stirrings in the early seventh century. While a bit bland in this age, especially when compared to all the colorful costumes and celebration of its eve, Halloween, it wasn’t always “fiestaless.” Graves were once decorated with flowers and lighted candles, with large processions of visitors going to cemeteries; throughout the day church bells peeled. In South America, Mexico and much of Latin America, these days still mark the Día de Muertos or Día de los Muertos.

Record setting rout: Panthers roll Lobos

Body
Responding to adversity was largely an unknown for Fort Stockton heading into Friday’s contest at Mountain View. Would the Panthers bounce back following a hard-fought loss to rival Monahans? That question was answered in a decisive manner by the time the first half concluded of last week’s pivotal district bout. Fort Stockton threw for over 300 yards for the first time in at least the last six years behind a career-best performance from junior quarterback Marco Garcia and tallied over 600 total yards on offense en route to a 62-21 victory over Mountain View in El Paso. “It was our best offensive performance (of the season) by far,” Hickman said. “Marco has gotten better and being the first year as the starter it takes time at that position to see things and feel things, to know what throws to make and reads to make. He’s getting better each week. I thought he had a complete game.” The first-year Fort Stockton head coach and athletic director explained that his team’s offense took what the defense gave them, which resulted in the Panthers best passing performance by a significant margin. “That’s what’s good about this offense, we’re going to be able to take advantage of what defenses are giving us, we just need to figure out the looks we’re getting that week. I was impressed with the offensive staff understanding the looks that they gave us and utilizing our offense to take advantage of those things,” he said.
