Panthers to open season Friday in El Paso
Body
Hot summer days of practice and two hotly contested scrimmages have led up to this: The opening game of the 2023 high school football season is Friday night, and the Fort Stockton Panthers will hit the road to El Paso to face Stephen F. Austin High School in a battle of the Panthers. Fort Stockton fans who venture to the west side of El Paso will see a mixture of young kids and some familiar faces eager to improve upon last year’s 10-2 campaign that ended in the second round of the playoffs with a loss to Glen Rose in San Angelo. Glen Rose eventually lost to eventual state champion Carthage.
