On Friday, May 26,  Alex Alvarez Softball Field was officially named exactly five years after a tragic car accident, in which another driver was texting, that took the lives of Alex Alvarez, his wife Liliana Valdez de Alvarez, and his mother-in-law Olga Valdez.

   With the help of Maverick County Parks and Recreation Director Jose Ramos, Superintendent of Road and Bridge Department Ernesto Guevara, and Commissioner Roberto Ruiz, the Alvarez and Valdez families were able to remember their loved ones with a tribute from the community.
