The Alpine High School varsity crosscountry team traveled to Tornillo last Thursday to compete in the District 4-3A championship. Both the boys’ and girls’ teams were successful, compiling enough points to advance to the Regional competition in Lubbock on Monday, October 20.

There’s something unsettling about watching another team in purple and gold run wild on your own field, like looking in the mirror and realizing the reflection just scored again. That was the scene Friday night at Bucks Stadium, where the Alpine Bucks fell 56-7 to the visiting Crane Golden Cranes.
