After the Alpine Fightin’ Bucks varsity’s (15-8) loss to Presidio (19-9) on January 20, by a scant 7 points, Alpine sits 2-1 and in second place in district play, leading everyone but the Blue Devils of the border before they took on district rival, the Kermit Yellowjackets (13-9) yesterday.

Despite an up-and-down season thus far, after last Thursday’s walloping of the Anthony Wildcats (1-23), the Alpine Lady Bucks, now (8-16), sat at 3rd (2-2) in the district standings after falling earlier this month to district rivals Kermit and Presidio.

The AHS Powerlifters traveled to Fort Stockton this past weekend to compete in both the girls’ and boys’ powerlifting competitions. Both teams brought home some hardware for Alpine, with the boys’ team earning three first-place finishes in their weight divisions.
