After a stellar season by the Alpine Lady Bucks Track and Field team, a series of mishaps and a weather delay stranded the Lady Bucks in Abilene, with no one advancing to the state finals. Despite their season ending at the 3A Region I meet, a few of the athletes were able to accomplish personal and season records.

The Alpine Fightin’ Bucks baseball team went up against district rivals Kermit last Friday and would bring home the ‘W’. The Bucks would hit the scoreboard hard in the first few minutes of the game and never look back.

The baseball season is underway for Alpine Middle School Bucks. Their season began on Monday, April 8 when the eighth graders traveled to Fort Stockton to take on the Panthers. The Bucks lost a close game, 3-5, but they put up an impressive performance for their first game of the season according to Coach Marco Gomez. “Alejandro Uranga and Ezra Lujan were our pitchers for the game against Fort Stockton. They had a phenomenal performance for it having been their first game of the season. Thanks to a 3-run RBI from Darius Portillo, it allowed us to get on the scoreboard and not leave with a shut-out,” said Gomez.

Meet Twofie. Twofie is a little shy at first, but he is warm and sweet within a short period of time as he gets used to you and leans into your hand for pets. He finds companionship with his brother Kid, and he is a laid-back dude who would love to hang out and watch TV with you.

Last week, Veydah, Madison, Brooklyn, Arabella, Maylee, Cheyenne, Olivia, and Lindley saw that trash had blown into their playground at Alpine Elementary School. They brought a trash can outside and used part of their recess time to clean up their playground. They shared with their teacher that they wanted to take good care of their school.
