Friday night marked a big milestone for Tumbleweed+!

Our home opener at Panther Stadium was our first football broadcast on the NFHS Network — and our first real test of new equipment, new workflows, and a new group of student broadcasters.

On the call:
Jerick Bernal
Nolan Olthoff
Bradley Palileo

Behind the cameras and production:
Carla Vazquez
Ethan Matta
Bethany Cope
Valeria Sarabia
Kaeon Luna
Zachary Gray

From camera operation to switching, commentary, communication, and learning how to work together under the pressure of a live broadcast, our students gained valuable hands-on experience throughout the night.

We’re excited to officially be broadcasting Panther Athletics on the NFHS Network, and this is only the beginning. We’ll keep learning, improving, and building with every production.

Check out some of the highlights from Friday night’s home opener!

Go Panthers! 🐾🎥🏈

What a way to open the season at Panther Stadium! 🏈💙

Tonight marked the first home game of the 2026 Panther Football season and our first Tumbleweed+ football broadcast of the year!

Thank you to everyone who tuned in and supported our students throughout the night. A production like this takes a tremendous amount of teamwork — from our student camera operators, commentators, graphics, replay, audio, livestream and jumbotron crews to everyone working behind the scenes to keep the production moving.

Nearly 20 students came together tonight to help bring Panther Football to our community. For several of them, this was their first experience working a live football production, and there is no better way to learn than by getting behind the equipment and doing it for real.

We’ll continue learning, improving and building with every broadcast.

Thank you to Fort Stockton ISD, our coaches, staff, administration, community and everyone else who helps make Friday nights at Panther Stadium possible.

Most importantly, thank you to our students for stepping up, trying something new and taking ownership of the production.

The first one is officially in the books. 🎥🏈

We’ll see you at the next one!

GO PANTHERS! 💙🐾

🏈🎥 TUMBLEWEED+ FOOTBALL IS BACK TONIGHT!

Tonight is our first live football broadcast of the 2026 season as the Fort Stockton Panthers take on the Lake View Chiefs!

Fort Stockton Panthers vs. Lake View Chiefs
Streaming LIVE on Facebook, YouTube, and the NFHS Network!

We are super excited for tonight! Nearly 20 Fort Stockton High School students will be helping bring Panther Football to our community, and for many of them, this will be their first experience working a live sports production.

Students will be working cameras, graphics, audio, replay, commentary, the jumbotron, production equipment, and more while also getting the chance to try out some of our new broadcast equipment.

There will definitely be a lot of learning happening tonight, and that is exactly what Tumbleweed+ is about — learning by doing, working together, and giving students real-world production experience.

Wish our students the best of luck tonight as they bring you Panther Football!

💙🐾 GO PANTHERS!

🎥🏈 Just a preview of what’s coming…

Today, our Tumbleweed+ crew spent four hours filming across multiple locations as we began creating content for the upcoming Panther football season!

This was the first opportunity for our group to come together this year, and we were excited to welcome seven new Tumbleweed+ students to the production crew. From setting up equipment to working behind the camera, everyone played a part in bringing this shoot to life.

We’re looking forward to seeing another great student-produced video on the Panther Stadium jumbotron—created by Fort Stockton High School Student Media!

This is only the beginning. GO PANTHERS! 🐾🎬

This morning, our seniors gathered beneath the rising sun, not only to welcome a new day, but to mark the beginning of their final year together. 🌅

Senior Sunrise is a reminder of how far the Class of 2027 has come, the friendships and memories that have shaped their journey, and the many meaningful moments still waiting ahead.

Before long, they will watch the sun set on this chapter, but today, they celebrated its beginning. Here’s to a senior year filled with purpose, joy, and memories that will last long after graduation. 🎓💙💛🧡

Fort Stockton Tumbleweed+ is honored to be recognized by the Texas Association of School Boards on the 2026 TASB Media Honor Roll. Out of schools and organizations across Texas, only 50 were selected for this statewide recognition honoring fair, balanced, and community-focused reporting.

This recognition reflects the incredible work happening through Fort Stockton ISD and the many students who have helped build Tumbleweed+ into what it is today. While the certificate lists Mr. Barragan as the Program Director, this award truly belongs to the students. Nearly 80 students participated in the program throughout the year, contributing to over 60 live productions, more than 300 hours of after-school commitment, and an estimated 25,000 photos captured covering our schools and community.

From football games and graduations to concerts, pep rallies, academic events, and community stories, these students showed up time and time again with professionalism, passion, and pride for Fort Stockton ISD.

Thank you to our students, parents, administrators, coaches, teachers, and community members for continuing to support student storytelling and student media in Fort Stockton.

This honor represents what can happen when students are trusted with real responsibility and given opportunities to create something meaningful for their school and community.
