Favorable district sets up playoff push for Prowlers

On paper, the Prowlers path to the playoffs is feasible – likely more so than it has been the last seasons. Fort Stockton’s district – 4A District 3 – has only one team with a winning record entering the final week of non-district play.

Panthers show promising signs of progress

The Fort Stockton basketball program ended their 2021-2022 campaign with a 7-23 record a season ago. Fast forward nine months and the Panthers have already surpassed their win total from last season before district play has started.
