The 19th ranked Seminole Maidens showed why they’re one of the elite programs in West Texas on Jan. 11 against Fort Stockton.

Seminole scored a season-high 111 points in their district-opening win against Pecos on Jan. 7 and the Maidens nearly reached the century mark again in their matchup with the Prowlers.

Senior guard Xoe Rosalez and sophomore London Shain outscored Fort Stockton by six points as a duo, netting a combined 51 points in Seminole’s 96-45 win.

Rosalez scored a game-high 26 points and Shain added 25.

Fort Stockton led Alpine by one point (12-11) at the end of the first quarter during the Panthers final non-district game of the season on Jan. 7.

But the tide turned quickly as the Bucks outscored Fort Stockton 23-11 in the second quarter and 15-9 in the third quarter on their way to a 62-44 win in Alpine.

Blue Wave senior swimmer Quaylon Rios qualified for the Andrews Invitational finals on Jan. 7 in both the 50-yard freestyle and the 100 butterfly during the event’s preliminary races.

Rios dropped his time in both events during the finals on Jan. 8, finishing in fourth place in the 100 fly after entering the race as the nine seed.

Unfortunately, the finish did not stand due to disqualification.

With their most productive offensive threat out of the lineup, the Prowlers clawed their way to a victory against Sweetwater on Dec. 31 behind standout performances from Mia Garcia, Eliana Mata, and Keanna Torres.

Fort Stockton leading scorer Alyana Dominguez did not play in Friday’s game due to an injury that occurred during Thursday’s bout with Del Rio.

The absence translated to a slow start in Friday’s contest as the Prowlers trailed 17-15 at halftime on their home floor.
