Senior Jayden Canaba says he has been working on his 3-point shot to compliment his defensive prowess on the hardwood. He put it on display Jan. 7 against the Fort Stockton Panthers. The Bucks cruised, pushing their record to 11-5 while the Panthers fell to 5-15. The final score was 62-44 Alpine.

Assistant Coach Monica Salmon filled in admirably for Head Coach Rick Garcia as the Lady Bucks collected their first district win, 73-6. Shooting guard Novah Carrasco had a career-high 29 points, and Salmon’s zone pressure befuddled the Lady Cats from the opening tip-off.

The Alpine Lady Bucks on Jan. 11 bested the Presidio Blue Devils in Presidio, 40-27.
