New year, same resolution

4 years ago By Faith Column

The new year has come and with it many new resolutions, but the Christian’s should remain the same. Why? Because we serve a God who is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore (Hebrews 13:8). His commands have not changed nor has his will.

Making a New Year’s resolution?

4 years ago By Karan’s Korner

While eating more fruits and vegetables and parking as far away from the supermarket as possible will help improve your health in 2022, here’s a resolution that can impact the lives of others, as well as your own. Make a resolution in 2022 to put down the phone when you are driving, and to not drive distracted. While all notions of selfimprovement have their value, driving is one area where our actions can affect not only ourselves, but also other drivers and passengers on the road.

4 years ago By Nathan Heuer Pioneer Editor

With their most productive offensive threat out of the lineup, the Prowlers clawed their way to a victory against Sweetwater on Dec. 31 behind standout performances from Mia Garcia, Eliana Mata, and Keanna Torres.

Fort Stockton leading scorer Alyana Dominguez did not play in Friday’s game due to an injury that occurred during Thursday’s bout with Del Rio.

The absence translated to a slow start in Friday’s contest as the Prowlers trailed 17-15 at halftime on their home floor.
