Prospects For Bucks Bright
The Alpine Bucks finished week two of pre season practice with no injuries besides a cut lip for Frank Fowlk and an ankle sprain for Charlie Babcock after a scrimmage with Rankin High School. Coaches Bromley and Martin remain cautiously optimistic about improvements in offensive timing, blocking, and overall aggressiveness. The Rankin scrimmage boosted morale and provided valuable experience, with Alpine showing depth at most positions and a fight for the 11 lad lineup as they seek a partly winning season.
