For the first time since 2016, the Fort Stockton Prowler Volleyball is headed to the post season. The Prowlers defeated the Seminole Maidens 25-20, 25-23, and 25-9 on Saturday to clinch a playoff berth.

Following last week’s loss in Monahans, the Fort Stockton Panthers bounced back with a 38-21 victory over the visiting Mountain View Lobos this past Friday. “I really liked the response they had from the loss last week following with a good week at practice,” said head coach Jeremy Hickman.

Last week the District 2-4A team tennis coaches met for their superlatives and the Fort Stockton Panther tennis team was able to walk away with several awards to solidify the great season they had. Awards are listed below:

Buena Vista Running Back Jackie Jurado plows through the line for a touchdown to put the Longhorns ahead 46-0 and end the game early against Fort Davis, last Friday night in Imperial. The Longhorns opened their district schedule with a win over the Indians and will be back in Imperial again this Friday night to face the Van Horn Eagles. Van Horn is 5-2 overall and 1-0 in District 6-1A Div. 2 after a similar 46-0 win over Marfa last week.

Nevertheless Ali will participate in the State Meet at 11:40 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 4 at Old Settlers Park in Round Rock.

The Prowler Volleyball program loaded up the brooms and took them to Pecos on Saturday. Each of the Prowler teams were victorious and Senior Aryanna Gonzalez added to the festivities.

Arguably two best teams in District 2-4A squared off last Friday, and for two quarters the teams exchanged blows and the outcome was very much in doubt. But things unraveled for Fort Stockton in the second half, and the host eighthranked Monahans Loboes came away with a solid 56-21 win to take control of the district.
