From Alpine Buck to Super Bowl champ

A look back at his glory days As we sit on the cusp of yet another Super Bowl, one Alpine local can lay claim to being a world-champion Super Bowl player in his own right. In 1958, an Alpine Fightin’ Buck named Robert “Bake” Turner graduated from Alpine High School and moved on to pursue higher education at Texas Tech College, now Texas Tech University, where he played college football, before being drafted by the NFL.
