The Alpine Powerlifting team traveled to Kermit last week and had another impressive showing, with multiple competitors bringing home hardware. With a short season, powerlifters work hard to max out in the weight room to continue their strengthening and consistency.

At Dallas Theological Seminary from 1972 until 1976, we had Chapel four times each week. So, if I attended Chapel every day it was held (and I loved our Chapel Services), I heard about 576 sermons in four years, not counting that my family and I also attended a local church for those four years.

The Marfa Lady Horns’ basketball season came to a close Tuesday night in the Bi-District Round of the playoffs against Buena Vista High School. Marfa faced early adversity as Buena Vista’s full-court press disrupted the Lady Horns’ offense and forced several turnovers. The early pressure resulted in a quick 14–4 deficit. After a timeout by Coach Kevin Pippen, Marfa settled in and began breaking the press, but struggled to convert open scoring opportunities, heading into halftime trailing 38–8.
