The Alpine Fightin’ Buck girls’ track, and field team traveled to Odessa last week to compete in the 80th West Texas Relays held at Ratliff Stadium. Both the varsity and JV teams competed against heavy competition from schools such as 6A Odessa Permian and San Angelo Central.

Last week the Lady Bucks softball program faced off with teams from Pecos, Big Spring, and Odessa. These were the final challenges for the Alpine team before they prepared for the upcoming district play starting this Friday, March 15.

The Alpine Fightin’ Bucks baseball team, like many sports at the high school level, faces numerous non-district opponents before they play the teams that “count.” And while the Bucks have struggled against a few tough opponents, their wins speak for themselves.

This past weekend the Sul Ross softball team hosted the Hardin-Simmons University Cowgirls for a doubleheader on Friday, followed by a single game on Saturday. During the first Friday game, the Lobos trailed the Cowgirls as the guest team took the lead 2-0 in the first inning.

The Alpine Fightin’ Buck varsity boys’ golf team competed in Wink last week, where they placed first with a combined score of 358. Individually, golfer David Baca also placed first in the tournament, shooting 77.

While the weather rained on the Buck’s parade, preventing the tennis team from playing in Andrews on February 29, the junior varsity and varsity Bucks were able to practice their skills in Balmorhea on March 5.
