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.
Senior Ethan Acosta scored a season-high 13 points and converted two of the Panthers’ seven 3-pointers to lead his team to a 67-41 win.
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 Panthers’ six-game outing and sixth place finish was headlined by a 61-58 victory against local rival Alpine.
