Fort Stockton’s defense did just that and Cedric Lopez made the most of the opportunity on the other side of the ball with a 74-yard run to endzone to secure a 30-22 victory for the Panthers.

Record setting rout: Panthers roll Lobos

Responding to adversity was largely an unknown for Fort Stockton heading into Friday’s contest at Mountain View. Would the Panthers bounce back following a hard-fought loss to rival Monahans? That question was answered in a decisive manner by the time the first half concluded of last week’s pivotal district bout. Fort Stockton threw for over 300 yards for the first time in at least the last six years behind a career-best performance from junior quarterback Marco Garcia and tallied over 600 total yards on offense en route to a 62-21 victory over Mountain View in El Paso. “It was our best offensive performance (of the season) by far,” Hickman said. “Marco has gotten better and being the first year as the starter it takes time at that position to see things and feel things, to know what throws to make and reads to make. He’s getting better each week. I thought he had a complete game.” The first-year Fort Stockton head coach and athletic director explained that his team’s offense took what the defense gave them, which resulted in the Panthers best passing performance by a significant margin. “That’s what’s good about this offense, we’re going to be able to take advantage of what defenses are giving us, we just need to figure out the looks we’re getting that week. I was impressed with the offensive staff understanding the looks that they gave us and utilizing our offense to take advantage of those things,” he said.
