Panthers pounce on rival Loboes

Body

Alfredo Molina put forth his best pitching performance of the season on March 28 at Monahans, tying a season-high strikeout mark (7), and the Panthers strung together a pair of three-run innings to earn their first district victory.

Molina tossed a complete game and allowed eight hits, one walk, and one earned run to go along with his seven strikeouts in the 8-2 win for the Panthers.

The senior threw a season-high 103 pitches – 20 higher than his previous season-best mark.

Middle school track: A golden day for Panther trio

Body

Fort Stockton’s high school track team has been a dominant force this season following their first area championship campaign in school history in 2022.

Following last week’s Fort Stockton Middle School Comanche Relays, it’s fair to say the high school program has plenty of potential to sustain its success in the years ahead.

Eighth graders Angel Lujan and Kade Castillo won nine of the 10 events they competed in to lead the Panthers to a team title at the Comanche Relays.

Seminole completes sweep of Panthers in nail-biter

Body

Fort Stockton’s bats were back up to par in their rematch with Seminole on March 24 at home.

But four Panther errors, a pair of home steals, and a missed opportunity at the plate in the final inning allowed the Indians to capture a 7-6 win over Fort Stockton to complete the regular season sweep.

Fort Stockton turned a 4-1 deficit into a 6-4 lead during a five-run fourth inning before Seminole’s late rally.

Freshman Gerry Diaz (15) continued his productive freshman campaign on March 24 against Seminole with a team-best two hits. Diaz had a .486 batting average in 45 plate appearances heading into Tuesday’s contest at Monahans. The mark is third-best on the team for players who have at least 20 at bats.
