Bucks football goes to Pecos and shows off air, run attack in final pre-season game The Alpine High School Fightin’ Bucks football teams (freshmen/ junior varsity/varsity) went to Pecos Thursday, August 22, for the second and final pre-season scrimmage, showing that their cohesive play and explosive offense are as good on the road as they are at home. “Devon Rojo and Iden Lujan have been able to see the field well as it pertains to identifying coverage and open space,” Alpine Head Coach Andy Smith told the Avalanche.

Just as they did previously in Crane at the District meet, the Alpine Lady Bucks track and field team has trampled their competition at the Area meet with a total score of 145 points. That’s 76 points ahead of the second-place finisher Muleshoe and 77 points ahead of the third-place team of Denver City. This makes the Lady Bucks track and field team fourtime Area champions in 3A District 4.

The Alpine Cowboys are back in the saddle and aiming for a championship run in the 2024 Pecos League season. With a revamped roster, a new assistant coach, and a burning desire to reclaim their glory, the Cowboys are poised to be a dominant force on the field.
