Big things expected from Cason

Body
Hatfield Cason is just a freshman, but his performance in cross country has been more like an upperclassman in high school thus far. He has had six top five finishes to close out a stellar freshman campaign. He finished third in District this year for his highest race of the cross-country season. He also finished third in the Bo Coffman Invitational down in Presidio.

Bucks season comes to an end in second round of playoffs

Body
Last Friday night in Kermit the Alpine Bucks faced a football rushing machine and the number seven team in the state in the 11-0 Lubbock Roosevelt Eagles. These Eagles, along with the El Paso Riverside Rangers, were the top two teams on the Bucks schedule this season.

Bucks win in Bi-District

Body
As the seconds ticked off the clock at James H. Bird Memorial Stadium in Big Lake, Tray Ervin and Jordan Rodriguez were amidst a water bottle shower celebrating a tad early as Alpine defeated the San Angelo Grape Creek Eagles, 27-14. The referees let the Bucks jump around with bursts of water cascading 15-20 feet high as the players celebrated another first round playoff win and were crowned Bi-District champions once again.

Foster always on the attack

Body
Shaun Foster is like one of those Wild West characters out of a book, 6’3” inches tall, and practically skinny. He’s got a million-dollar smile and a giant head of hair. And he’s got those cowboy good looks, a tall, lanky laidback cowboy, but his play on the grid-iron is altogether different. He is constantly proving a menace to opposing teams’ quarterbacks and other clubs’ offenses in general.
