Emerging from their car with stacks of Frisbees, travelers Greg and Garret were ready to unwind with a game of disc golf at the Rooney Park on March 20.

"We're headed to Austin," Greg said. "I was previously living in Colorado, but for the last eight months we've been out on the road riding out COVID. I quit my job, quit my lease, and now we're living in the car. No regrets. Cruising is a fun life."

Two weeks after Governor Greg Abbott’s executive order went into effect, COVID-19 active cases continue to stay low in Pecos County.

Pecos County had six active cases on March 10 – the day the order started – and number has went no higher than eight since that time.

On March 23 it was reported that there are five current active cases in the county and five pending tests. As of March 19, there was one Pecos County resident hospitalized outside of the county.

The 17th ranked Seminole softball team used a 15-strikout performance by ace pitcher Kamryn Cottrell and an errorless defensive effort to get a 7-0 win against Fort Stockton in the Prowlers second district contest.

The Maidens scored two runs in the second inning, four in the fifth, and one in the sixth frame. Seminole plated all seven of their runs by way of a hit, starting with a two-run home run by Simone Roberson in the second inning.

Fort Stockton ace pitcher Alex Williams and the Panthers defense put forth one of their best performances of the season on March 23 in their district-opener at home against Greenwood.

Williams gave up only one hit and struck out eight while throwing over 100 pitches in five innings.

The Fort Stockton defense ensured the effort by Williams was rewarded, committing no errors in their 5-3 win over the Rangers.
