The Fort Stockton girls basketball team’s defense came to play from the opening tip on Senior Night on Tuesday, Feb. 2 against Andrews.

The only problem – the Prowlers defense couldn’t keep pace with the Mustangs for all four quarters.

Sherman Chew’s squad entered the second quarter down 9-6 and the offensive output for Fort Stockton entered an anemic state from that point forward.

Fort Stockton scored nine points in the following three quarters and lost 34-15.

The Fort Stockton tennis team showed plenty of promise to start the spring season on Friday, Jan. 29 at Big Spring High School.
