November 2022

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Fort Stockton, and the holiday season truly kicks off this weekend with holiday activities across the city. The Fort Stockton Chamber of Commerce kicked things off Nov. 28 with the Joy Run Silent Auction and Art Show, which runs through Dec. 9, and the annual Christmas parade takes place on Friday, Dec. 2 beginning at 6:30 p.m. along Dickinson Boulevard to Main Street. 

The Joy Run Silent Auction is for a good cause to get everyone in the giving spirit. 

In Tuesday night’s Fort Stockton-Buena Vista game the Prowlers, coming off a home win before the Thanksgiving break, were looking to get some of their younger players some playing time against a formidable Lady Longhorns team. 

The younger players did get some time, and the host Longhorns got the win, 45-29. 

Fort Stockton junior Aryan Hernandez set the bar high for his teammates and himself to begin the season, scoring a team-best 18 points in a 59-51 season-opening victory at Presidio on Tuesday.

“We found a way to come back a winner. There were tons of mistakes, which are all correctable. Our boys applied pressure all night, which led to some quick transition scores and momentum to propel us to a victory,” Panthers head coach Zack Roberson said.

John Thore Meli, 88, of Fort Stockton, passed away on Thursday, November 24, 2022, in Fort Stockton, Texas.

Visitation will be held from 3-8 p.m. on Friday, December 2, 2022, at Eternity Funeral Home.

Funeral Services will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, December 3, 2022, at First Presbyterian Church with Pastor Jim Miles officiating. A burial will follow at East Hill Cemetery. Arrangements are entrusted to Eternity Funeral Home of Fort Stockton, Texas.
