Fort Stockton’s high school track team has been a dominant force this season following their first area championship campaign in school history in 2022.

Following last week’s Fort Stockton Middle School Comanche Relays, it’s fair to say the high school program has plenty of potential to sustain its success in the years ahead.

Eighth graders Angel Lujan and Kade Castillo won nine of the 10 events they competed in to lead the Panthers to a team title at the Comanche Relays.

Fort Stockton’s bats were back up to par in their rematch with Seminole on March 24 at home.

But four Panther errors, a pair of home steals, and a missed opportunity at the plate in the final inning allowed the Indians to capture a 7-6 win over Fort Stockton to complete the regular season sweep.

Fort Stockton turned a 4-1 deficit into a 6-4 lead during a five-run fourth inning before Seminole’s late rally.

Jeremiah Ramirez and CT Dominguez joined forces for the first time this season on the tennis court during Fort Stockton’s regular season finale on March 24 in Odessa at the Friday Night Lights Invitational.

Their result suggested anything but a newly formed pairing.

The duo earned bronze medals in the boy’s doubles division at an event that featured three of the four 6A teams from the Odessa/Midland area.

Fort Stockton was defeated via run rule for the first time this season in a 13-3 road loss on March 24 against defending district champion Monahans.

The Lady Loboes plated four runs in the fourth inning and added eight runs in the third frame to end the game after 4 ½ innings.

The Texas Army National Guard and the Texas High School Coaches Association (THSCA), along with the Fort Stockton High School Girls Basketball program, are proud to recognize the 2022-2023 Academic All-State recipients.

Senior Eliana Mata was selected to the THSCA Academic All-State Second Team while Arial Smith and Estrella Aguilar were honorable mention.

Rosa Hernandez won every meet she competed in for the Fort Stockton girl’s powerlifting team heading into the state meet on Friday, March 17 in Frisco.

The senior put forth another outstanding performance in her final meet as a Prowler.

Hernandez improved five spots from her performance at state a season ago, earning a bronze medal with a third-place finish in the 97-pound weight class on Friday.
