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.

A perfect season is now just one game away for the junior varsity Panthers.

Fort Stockton secured five turnovers on defense and Sergio Ramirez threw a season-best three passing touchdowns in the Panthers 32-6 victory.

Rylan Nunez, Fabien Silva, Jayden Ramirez, Johnny Brown, and Ejay Ortiz each had a takeaway during the rout of the Eagles.
