The Fort Stockton High School athletic programs gathered together this week for the annual Spring Fling celebration, an event that has become a staple of Panther and Prowler athletics since it was first introduced four years ago by former Athletic Director Jeremy Hickman. This year’s celebration, however, carried a slightly different feeling as the district continues to navigate the recent departure of former Athletic Director DJ Howell.

The Fort Stockton Panthers saw their 2026 baseball season come to an end Friday afternoon in Seminole after dropping a two-game playoff series to the Canyon Eagles in the Bi-District round.
