Last week was a great week for Alpine tennis. Senior Madison Mendoza represented Alpine High School at district and competed at the Region 1-3A tennis meet in Abilene on Tuesday, April 11.

On April 6, Alpine competed at the Crane Relays, and just missed dominating the event by one point. Alpine placed second in the meet, just behind Crane and this meet was a preview of what was to come for the district meet set for April 13-15, when they traveled to Crane once again.

Hannah Juett and Valerie Armendariz once again went head-to-head in a battle for District 4-3A supremacy on April 4 as the Alpine Lady Bucks visited Presidio to start the second half of the district schedule. But unlike the snowy encounter in Alpine March 17, Juett and the Lady Bucks answered the call on the border and brought a 5-1-win home to Alpine.

Alpine competes against four schools in the district for golf; Odessa Compass, Kermit, Crane and Stanton. District tournaments took place these last two weeks in Monahans and Fort Stockton, with district play concluding in Fort Stockton on April 5.

This past Friday, the Alpine Fightin’Bucks varsity baseball would see some relief after early struggles in their district match ups. The Bucks took on the Kermit Yellowjackets at the Jackets home field that saw the home team fall behind early.

Jaycee Portillo hit two doubles, a single and a triple as the Alpine Lady Bucks continued to dominate district play with a 13-3 win over Stanton last Tuesday at Sul Ross, following that up with a 17-2 win at Kermit on Friday afternoon.
