Three meets complete and three championships are now in hand for the Prowlers powerlifting team after a dominant performance on Saturday at the Special Events Center.

Beverly Baeza led Fort Stockton to their third consecutive title with a first-place finish in her respective weight class, lifting a total of 895 pounds.

Izabella Diaz, Gabriella Renteria, Alyssa Rangel, and Leilani Enriquez earned silver medals in separate weight classes.

Until they were pumped dry in the 1960s, Comanche Springs was among Texas’ six largest springs, flowing at least 30 million gallons a day onto the dry earth of Pecos County. The springs created a desert oasis that earned Fort Stockton the title of Spring City and renown across West Texas.

It also supported dozens of farms that grew pecans, alfalfa and luscious melons known far and wide as Pecos Cantaloupes.

After months of waiting to see if a mandate will go into effect, Pecos County Memorial Hospital staff will be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 starting Feb. 21.

In her first official start on the mound in her career, freshman Kriselda Porras looked anything but an inexperienced underclassman in the Prowlers season-opener at Presidio on Feb. 15.

And Fort Stockton’s bats made sure she had no worries.

The Prowlers scratched out 11 hits and Porras allowed only two runs in a 15-2 victory on Tuesday.
