WEEK Meet Doro Dorito This young guy was surrendered to the shelter with his friend Sugar Bear about a month ago due to them being too interested in the family fowl. Doro is a Husky/ Border Collie mix.

The Tri-County Voter Promoters will be set up in multiple locations around the area to register voters for the upcoming November 4 constitutional election. In Alpine, the voter promoters will be at the Morgan University Center on the campus of Sul Ross State University from 11 a.m.

There are a few things you can count on during an early fall night north of El Paso: great border food, the strum of a guitarrón drifting through the desert air, and the Alpine Bucks putting a whooping on the Anthony Wildcats. Friday night was no exception, as Alpine rolled to a 4122 victory in its district opener.

Fightin’ Buck Football • October 3 Crane vs Alpine | 7 p.m. • October 9 Alpine vs Compass Academy | 7 p.m.

The Alpine Lady Bucks made a statement in their first week of district volleyball play, notching two dominant performances and recording a pair of program sweeps. On Tuesday, September 23, Alpine hosted the Kermit Lady Jackets for their district opener inside the Buck Dome. By the end of the night, all three levels of Lady Buck volleyball had claimed victories.
