The Crane Relays on March 28 was a preview of the district meet with all schools participating except for Tornillo and with the addition of Wink, Marfa, Midland Classical, and McCamey. It was an important track meet and it allowed us to see where the girls are in head-to-head competition with the athletes in our district.

FIGHTIN’ BUCK TRACK & FIELD Apr. 4 & 6 District Meet @ Crane Apr.

Last week the Lady Buck Softball program faced teams from Crane, Tornillo, Stanton, and Kermit, bringing in crushing wins for each game. On Tuesday, March 19 the Alpine team was scheduled to travel to play the Golden Cranes on their home turf, however, with the recent rain the game was moved to the drier Alpine field.

The Alpine Middle School hosted the 4-3A middle school district track championship at Buck Stadium last Wednesday. Alpine boys placed fourth in the district overall behind Crane, Odessa Compass, and Kermit.

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 state competitions for high school powerlifting have come to an end and several Alpine competitors exhibited their Alpine Buck spirit by winning top spots and scholarship money. During the regional challenge, Enyssa Fierro, Mia Morris, Madalyn Warren and Owen Thompson qualified and performed well.

The Alpine Fightin’ Buck baseball team is off to a slow start in district play thus far. Having met up with Crane and Tornillo last week, the Bucks had two hard losses going into their matchup against Stanton on Tuesday, leaving them with a 0-2 record in district play.

The Alpine Buck and Lady Buck track teams traveled to San Angelo over the weekend for the 65th-annual San Angelo Relays. Facing tough competition in one of the largest track meets in the state, the Alpine Lady Bucks were able to come away with a few medals from the two-day event.
