The Alpine Cowboys are back in the saddle and aiming for a championship run in the 2024 Pecos League season. With a revamped roster, a new assistant coach, and a burning desire to reclaim their glory, the Cowboys are poised to be a dominant force on the field.

Just as they did previously in Crane at the District meet, the Alpine Lady Bucks track and field team has trampled their competition at the Area meet with a total score of 145 points. That’s 76 points ahead of the second-place finisher Muleshoe and 77 points ahead of the third-place team of Denver City. This makes the Lady Bucks track and field team fourtime Area champions in 3A District 4.

Bucks football goes to Pecos and shows off air, run attack in final pre-season game The Alpine High School Fightin’ Bucks football teams (freshmen/ junior varsity/varsity) went to Pecos Thursday, August 22, for the second and final pre-season scrimmage, showing that their cohesive play and explosive offense are as good on the road as they are at home. “Devon Rojo and Iden Lujan have been able to see the field well as it pertains to identifying coverage and open space,” Alpine Head Coach Andy Smith told the Avalanche.

Dear Neil, My wife and I are having discussions about whether I should remove a native cedar tree from our landscape. She tests positive for allergies to cedar pollen, and this time of year, her miseries begin for a couple of months. She wants me to remove the tree, but we both think it’s very pretty if it weren’t for the pollen. Even its blueberries are attractive, and I notice the birds love them. My contention is that there are dozens of other cedars nearby and that even if I take our one tree out, she will still be hit with the pollen from other trees around us. Do you have any advice?
