Last Tuesday the Alpine Lady Bucks traveled to Stanton to take on the Lady Buffs in a district matchup. The Lady Buffs jumped out to an early lead, but the Lady Bucks battled the first half keeping the game close. The Lady Bucks would go into halftime down 2620. The second half the Lady Bucks struggled with the Lady Buffs size difference. Alpine would end up falling to the Stanton Lady Buffs 60-34. Novah Carrasco led the scoring with 11 points, while Alexis Rodriguez added nine points and Sara Evans put up eight points.” We just couldn’t defend their size difference. They had three big girls that rotated and pounded us in the paint. I was very pleased with our offensive game plan because we pushed the ball very well in transition. Defensively we will have something special for them next time we meet up. I feel the game was closer than the final score,” remarked Coach Virdell.
