Fort Stockton’s bid to become the first team in school history to win 11 games came up short on Thursday at San Angelo Stadium in the area round of the 4A-2 playoffs against ninth-ranked Glen Rose.
The Panthers lost a pair of their star players in the first three possessions of the game and the Tigers showed why they were six-time defending district champions behind quarterback Hudson White in a 63-12 victory.
The Panthers won their third consecutive bi-district title in a 20-14 victory against Perryton on Nov. 11 at Post High School. Pictured is the action from last Friday's contest.
