National School Counseling Week acknowledges the vital importance of school counselors in our school system. Counselors play a significant role in assisting students in achieving academic success and preparing for their future. We start the week expressing our gratitude to the counselors at Aubrey High School (AHS): Julie Barrentine, Susie Dean, and Lisa Griffin. #NSCW24
Jr. Beta had an outstanding performance at the State meet, winning numerous awards and bringing home a significant amount of hardware. As a result, several students have now qualified for Nationals, which is scheduled to take place in June in Savannah, Georgia.
The girls soccer team suffered a tough 1-4 loss tonight against a talented Anna team. In the first half, Macy Childers scored a goal with an assist from Landry Gannon. Despite the girls' efforts and their hard fight to equalize the score in the second half, they were unable to find the back of the net. The Lady Chaps will be back in action on February 6th at home. The JV team will play against Sanger at 4:00, followed by the Varsity team against Pilot Point at 5:30. Tuesday, February 6th is Aubrey Youth Soccer Night! Come out and show your support!
The Aubrey Boys Soccer team played against Anna this afternoon in a Saturday noon kickoff. The boys had a very defensive first half against a counter-attacking Anna team that was solid on the flanks. Both teams had roughly equal opportunities in the first half, but despite their best efforts, the score at halftime was 0-0. Aubrey came out in the second half with the wind and a more attacking mindset to battle it out and grind out a 1-0 win. The goal was scored in the run of play by Juan Serrano, and Aubrey had many more set piece opportunities, but could not capitalize. The defensive backline was stellar, holding off some relentless set piece opportunities by Anna. Defensive recognition goes to Spencer Berger, Osvaldo Osorio, Clark Stewart, and Luke Travascio. Please come out and support the boys as they take on Pilot Point next Tuesday for Aubrey Youth Soccer Night at Aubrey Chaparral Stadium at 7:15 PM!
Aubrey improved our overall record to 22-9 and 5-2 in district play with a big road win against Celina. This was a hard-fought battle from beginning to end. Celina had a 4 or 5 point lead throughout most of the game. Our guys showed great perseverance and determination to just keep playing. We had some great defensive stops in the 4th quarter that allowed us to get a few run outs. Once we took the lead with a few minutes to go, the guys put the game away by making 6 free throws in the last two minutes. I am extremely proud of how these guys play every game. The guys are showing great ability to win close games down the stretch.
We have another big home game on Tuesday against Ranchview.
The Aubrey Lady Chaps improved to 3-6 in district and 12-15 overall with a 36-28 win over Celina. Score by quarters for Aubrey were 13, 4, 8, 11. Score by quarters for Celina were 5, 10, 8, 5. Scorers for Aubrey were Kynadi Hall with 12 points, Shelby Harrington with 11, Brooklyn Weier with 9, and Addie Cagle and Abby Buxton with 2 points each.
I was very proud of the way the girls finished the game tonight. We outscored Celina 11-5 in the fourth quarter and hit some big free throws at the end to seal the victory. I was also proud of the way the team played defensively by holding Celina under 30 points.
The Lady Chaps return to action for the final regular season game at home on Tuesday night against Ranchview. We will also be honoring Brooklyn Weier and Madison Temple on senior night.
The Lady Chaps suffered a 0-4 loss against reigning State Champs, Celina, bringing their record to 4-5 overall and 1-2 in district play. Despite a defensive first half, the girls showed great offensive effort in the second half. We had multiple shots on goal, but struggled to score against a solid goalkeeper. With each game played as a full team, the girls are growing stronger together. We will continue to work hard and strive for better results. Our next game will be on Friday at Home against Anna. The JV game starts at 5:30, followed by Varsity at 7:15. We appreciate your support!

Tonight, the Aubrey Chaparrals came just shy of beating a state-ranked Celina team. We lost 1-2 from two set pieces, a corner and a free kick. At halftime, Aubrey was down 2-0, but came out fighting in the second half with a goal from Juan Paredes about 10 minutes into the second half. Aubrey had a relentless attack but just couldn't put the ball in for the second goal. Aubrey will take on Anna at Anna on Saturday, Feb. 3, at 12 p.m.
Aubrey improved our overall record to 21-9 and 4-2 in district play with a big win over Van Alstyne. This was one of those wins that you just have to gut it out and keep fighting to the very end. Van Alstyne’s size and defensive zone that they run gave us a lot of trouble at their place, so we knew we had to move the ball well and be in attack mode to have a chance to win. I still believe that any team in this district can beat any other team on any given night. Our boys know we cannot be satisfied and that we need to bring our best effort this coming Friday at Celina. Scorers for Aubrey: Branden West 2 Gavin Barnes 8 Emory Jones 22 Tyler Brown 4 Elijah Herron 12
The Aubrey Lady Chaps improved to 2-6 in district and 11-15 overall with a 38-34 win over Van Alstyne. The score by quarters for Aubrey were 10, 8, 12, 8, while the score by quarters for Van Alstyne were 10, 10, 4, 10. Scorers for Aubrey were Brooklyn Weier with 22 points, Kynadi Hall with 6, Shelby Harrington with 4, and Landry Gannon, Molly Ward, and Abby Buxton with 2 points each. This was a big win for us tonight. The girls did an excellent job on the defensive end of the floor. Brooklyn really got going scoring-wise in the first half with four threes before halftime. The girls did a great job at the end of the game to keep us ahead. The Lady Chaps return to action on Friday night at Celina.
Progress is being made on Elementary #4 and Middle School #2. The new elementary is set to open August 2024, while the middle school is scheduled to open August 2025. These campuses are part of the bond that was passed in 2022. It is an exciting time to be a Chaparral!

The Chaparrals come up short Friday night.
Coach Smith Reports:
Aubrey's overall record now stands at 20-9 and 3-2 in district play with a loss to a very tough Anna team. We started the game hot, exchanging buckets with Anna and hitting 3 threes in the first quarter. Anna has the quickest team in the district and they are also extremely good shooters, which is a tough combination to defend.
We were tied at 17 in the first quarter with a minute to go, and Anna made a short run to take the lead. They had another run on us in the second quarter, causing us to go into halftime down 12 points. I am extremely proud of how our guys came out in the second half and played very aggressively, making good plays on both ends of the floor. We cut the lead to 5 points with 3 minutes to go, but Anna hit a couple of threes to extend the lead back.
I am very proud of this team with how hard they compete. We have a tough second round ahead of us with 3 of the 5 remaining games at home. This will be a fun team to come out and support over the next 2 weeks.

The Aubrey Soccer Program Sweeps Farmersville Friday Night Coach Woodward Reports: The Aubrey Girls soccer team won their first district home game against Farmersville with a score of 8-2! The Lady Chaps now have a record of 4-4 overall and 1-1 in district. Macy Childers scored 3 goals and assisted 1 goal, while Brynnlee Bohannon scored 3 goals. Landry Gannon scored 1 goal and assisted 1 goal, and Laney Lomas, Lilly Stewart, Kendall Sweetman, and Alexis Quinn each assisted 1 goal. The girls' next game will be on Tuesday, Jan. 30 at Celina at 7:15 p.m. Coach Dumond Reports: Last night was a special night for Aubrey Soccer as the boys played in a nail-biter against a scrappy Farmersville team. The first half was spent in the midfield with a few opportunities for both teams, and Aubrey fighting against the wind. However, neither team managed to find the back of the net in the first half. In the second half, Farmersville played a very compact game while Aubrey dominated possession and took shot after shot, but still couldn't find the goal. The game ended in a 0-0 tie in regulation. It then went to penalty kicks, with Aubrey winning 4-3. The penalty kicks were scored respectively by Spencer Berger, Vladyslav Dryshliuk, Aiden Pearson, and Osvaldo Osorio. Next Tuesday, Aubrey will face district rival Celina at home with a 7:15 p.m. kick-off. We encourage everyone to come out and pack the stands!
All Aubrey ISD schools and district buildings will be open as scheduled tomorrow, Jan. 26, 2024. Water has been restored to residents, however the Town of Providence Village has issued a boil water notice. We thank Providence Village officials for their diligence in providing updates.
