The Alpine Cowboys, a powerhouse in the Pecos League, maintained their impressive winning streak, racking up victories against the Austin Weirdos and Roswell Invaders before experiencing their first taste of defeat in a hardfought series against the Garden City Wind. The week was a rollercoaster of emotions, marked by both triumphant victories and a heartbreaking loss, all while honoring the memory of a fallen teammate.

Early mornings, trips to Europe, late nights, and many hours on the road are just a few of the things Alpine High School cross country and head girl’s track and field coach has been up to in the past year. Cason also teaches history at AHS and her trip to Europe in the summer of 2023 along with fellow teacher Mrs. Parson, was one way she was able to bring personal, real-life experience to her students in the classroom.

Ben Gallego, son of B.J. and Linda Gallego and a 1994 graduate of Alpine High School coached in the Class 3A baseball State Championship on June 8 in Round Rock. Gallego, an assistant coach for the Franklin Lions, helped lead the team to a 35-5 record, and their first-ever state baseball championship. The Lions defeated Gunter 5-4 in the semi-finals and Brock 7-4 in the final.

In an awe-inspiring display of baseball mastery, the Alpine Cowboys have stormed through the initial week of the Pecos League season, maintaining an unblemished 7-0 record. Their commanding pitching and explosive offensive capabilities have propelled them to the forefront of the league, leaving their opponents trailing in their wake.
