This past weekend, the Alpine High School Tennis team competed in the Lower Valley Invitational held across Clint, San Elizario, and Fabens High Schools. Alpine couldn’t be prouder of the determination and grit our players showed throughout the tournament. The level of competition was tough, making every match a great test to open the season, and our athletes rose to the challenge.

The Alpine Fightin’ Bucks varsity basketball team continued its strong district push last week, going on the road and taking down Kermit High School 71-57 in a key district matchup between two teams fighting it out for a top spot in the standings. The win pushed Alpine to (4-1, 17-8) on the season and gave the Bucks a valuable road victory against a Kermit squad that entered the game at 14-10.
