New Fort Stockton boys basketball coach Travis Lancaster has said he’s scheduled top competition in order to make the Panthers better. The Panthers certainly are physical, and have taken some lumps this season, and the team’s farewell to 2023 was certainly one of those games as Fort Stockton fell to an athletic Permian squad 108-50 on Dec. 19.

Before the Fort Stockton Prowlers varsity basketball squad headed north to the Monahans Chamber of Commerce Tournament today, they first had to travel south and east to Del Rio to face a Queens team that had been struggling of late. But the hosts were unfriendly as they downed their Prowler visitors, 3726.

The Bill and Virginia Williams Special Events Center was buzzing with basketball last week for the annual West Texas Shootout. The tournament brought in 11 teams from Lubbock to El Paso for a three-day run. Fort Stockton’s Panthers went 1-4 for the tournament, but faced and overcame adversity in the process.

The Fort Stockton High School Prowlers earned a sweep against San Angelo Lake View last week in San Angelo. The freshmen defeated the Maidens 4112 as Enayeli Acosta led the offense with 23 points.

The Fort Stockton Middle School eighth graders had a unique opportunity to compete in a preseason Tri meet against Monahans and Pecos on Dec. 12.

The Varsity Panthers Basketball team continues to head in a new positive direction this season. This weekend, Coach Lancaster chose the toughest tournament that he could find to gain experience and learn how the game of basketball is played at the highest levels in Texas.
