Holiday tournaments are a good time for high school basketball coaches to give younger players some reps and gauge how their team plays against competition they wouldn’t ordinarily see.
With a challenging district slate looming, Fort Stockton put forth their best shooting game of the season and gained some valuable momentum to close their non-district home schedule on Tuesday against 1A Fort Davis.
On paper, the Prowlers path to the playoffs is feasible – likely more so than it has been the last seasons. Fort Stockton’s district – 4A District 3 – has only one team with a winning record entering the final week of non-district play.
The Fort Stockton basketball program ended their 2021-2022 campaign with a 7-23 record a season ago. Fast forward nine months and the Panthers have already surpassed their win total from last season before district play has started.
Battling through adversity will be key component to the Panthers success in district play starting in a few weeks.
Fort Stockton successfully did that and took a step forward from a season ago in their home gym at the West Texas Shootout last week.

The Prowler’s varsity squad competed in the Buena Vista Longhorn Classic in Imperial last week, going 2-1 for the tournament with wins over New Way Charter Academy and Balmorhea, with a loss to the host Longhorns, Friday.
Buena Vista’s Longhorns entered the holiday break this week after an impressive 2-1 showing at the Longhorn Classic and enter the time off with a 10-5 overall record.
