The Alpine Fightin’ Bucks and Lady Bucks golf teams traveled to Pecos on Wednesday and followed up with day two of their district tournament on Tuesday, April 2. The boys’ team has already seen action on the Pecos course this season, having played there in February. The girls’ team however was still competing in basketball, so they did not join the boys at that early tournament.

The Alpine Fightin’ Buck golf team just keeps improving as their season continues. The boys’ last tournament brought home the first-place win for the Alpine team, and head coach Marco Gomez believes this will give the team the boost of confidence needed to stay at the top.

The Alpine Fightin’ Buck baseball team would have hit the highway on Tuesday to travel to Crane for their first district ball game of the season, but the weather had other plans. Instead, the match-up with the Golden Cranes was moved to Kokernot Field, giving the Bucks a little home-field advantage to kick off their district rivalries for the 2024 season.

The Alpine Lady Bucks entered district play on Friday, playing the Presidio Blue Devils with a narrow loss of 6-9. “We felt very prepared as we entered the game with Presidio,” said Christopher Virdell, head coach for the Lady Bucks volleyball team, “we jumped out early on them and took a four-run lead.” Neither team gained any ground in the first inning, but Alpine scored a point in the second inning and three in the third.
