Basketball Tournament Reports: Dec. 3, 2025 Lady Chaps Coach Black Day 1 of the For the Love of the Game Tournament hosted by S&S High School Game 1: Aubrey vs. Whitesboro Top scorers: Aniyah Davis 11, Abby Lynch-Buxton 6, Pa’i Fualema 5, Margaret Conley 4 Game 2: Aubrey vs. Tioga Top scorers: Aniyah Davis 21, Addalyn Cagle 10, Payton Canterbury 7, Paris Butler 5, Margaret Conley 5 The first day of the For the Love of the Game Tournament was a strong one for the Lady Chaps. As is becoming the norm, their defensive effort was outstanding and created numerous scoring opportunities in both games. Offensively, the team showed improvement in consistent scoring. The Lady Chaps shared the ball well and executed their offense better than they have to this point. Coach Black said she is very proud of the team’s efforts. Aubrey is off tomorrow and will resume tournament play Saturday at 10:20 a.m. against Vernon High School. The Lady Chaps move to 7-5 on the season. ⸻ Gentlemen Chaps Coach Smith Aubrey recap: Aubrey earned its first win of the season against Garland High School, 73-58. The Chaps opened with energy and played strong team defense. They moved the ball well on offense and showed improvement overall. Coach Smith said the team still has areas to work on but is headed in the right direction and needs to build on the momentum. Aubrey has two games scheduled for tomorrow. Aubrey scores: Jarvis Hollis 8, Marquez Lucas Jr. 30, Desmond King 10, Luke Hellman 5, Will Story 2, Blake Wheeler 10, Antwon Jones 8. Coach Smith Overall record: 1-5

Gentlemen Chap Recap: Dec. 2, 2025 Coach Smith Tough loss to another good 5A opponent Azle by a score of 71-56. I was pleased with how we started the game with a lot of energy. We moved the ball well offensively and did a good job of rebounding early allowing us to go into halftime down 1 point to Azle. The start of the 3rd quarter did not go well for us. We did not execute offensively and gave up some early transition points which allowed Azle to expand their lead. I am proud of how this group plays hard through adversity. We are going to still use it as learning opportunities to get better. We have the Sanger Tournament starting Thursday and our first opponent is a 6A program in Garland. It should be another opportunity for us to get better against good competition. Aubrey Scores: Aubrey Scores: Marquez Lucas Jr - 19, Desmond King - 8, Luke Hellman - 2, Carsten Stephenson - 9, Will Story - 1, Blake Wheeler - 2, and Antwon Jones - 15. Overall record - 0-5 JV Red Score : Win 44-38 JV Blue (Fr) Score: Loss 38-46

Aubrey Recap: Nov. 25 Coach Smith We had another tough game for our young team against a very athletic 5A team in Anna. I thought our guys got better throughout the game. We are still learning to handle tough defensive pressure. I still believe playing these big schools is going to help us develop and make us a better team and better prepared for our district.

Aubrey Basketball Recaps: Nov. 24 Gentlemen Chaps Coach Smith We played our first home game against a very good shooting 5A school in Frisco Centennial, losing 96-52.  These larger schools continue to expose our weaknesses defensively.  The good thing about playing good competition like this early is it helps us see the major areas we need to work on.  I am very proud of how hard our team continues to play.  We just need to continue to improve the little things like boxing out, rebounding, rotating on defense and making better decisions offensively.  We get another opp to play a big 5A school against Anna. We want to make progress to be a better team by the time we start district play.   Aubrey Scores:  Aubrey Scores:  Marquez Lucas Jr - 19, Jarvis Hollis - 1, Liam Conley - 3, Desmond King - 4, Luke Hellman - 12, Carsten Stephenson - 3, Connor Murphy - 4, Will Story - 7, Blake Wheeler - 4, and Antwon Jones - 4. Varsity Overall record - 0-3 Lady Chaps Coach Black Aubrey vs Lebanon Trail Top Scorers: Payton Canterbury 7, Abby Lynch-Buxton 7, Addalyn Cagle 6, Aniyah Davis 5 The Lady Chaps took on Lebanon Trail today for their last game before the  Thanksgiving break. Despite having tired legs from the 5 game tournament, the Lady Chaps were able to display a lot of mental toughness and do what needed to be done in the 4th quarter to finally pull ahead and away after a rough 3rd quarter. Our defense definitely stepped up today when our offense was struggling and created scoring opportunities for us. I am very proud of the discipline, toughness and grit the girls showed today. We will be back in action after the break on Tuesday, December 2nd at home vs Denton High. Lady Chaps move to 4-5 on the season.
