WEEK Alpine Humane Society Pet of the Week is Whiskey. Whiskey is a four-year-old Shepherd mix who loves to sit with people as much as he loves playing in the yard. This boy is happy to load up in a truck with no problem if you want to go on a cruise because he likes to feel the wind in his fur.

The Fightin’ Buck’s Thursday game against Tornillo came to a sudden end last week when in the first quarter, team members from both sides had to be pulled out of a fight and off the field. Head football coach and athletic director Andy Smith said after the game, “It was an unfortunate incident, something that we are addressing internally with discipline.” After the Buck’s last score, made by Moses Riggens from a 45-yard pass from Devon Rojo, and a kick from Walter Urbanczyk, Alpine was up 43-0 over Tornillo.
