Polen Advances to Regionals, Bartel Finishes Strong at District 9-4A Championship The past two days, the Aubrey boys golf team competed in the District 9-4A Championship at Westridge Golf Club. All players battled through a tough course, facing brutal winds on Day 2. I was proud of how they fought through adversity and represented Aubrey ISD in a professional manner. Luke Bartel, the team’s lone senior, placed eighth overall with a two-day total of 179. Luke has been a key part of our golf program for the past three years and will be greatly missed. Congratulations to Jackson Polen, who is advancing to the regional tournament! He posted a two-day total of 173, finishing fifth overall. After a rough start on Day 2, Jackson turned it up on hole 8, playing just five over the rest of the way.

Lady Chaps Soccer Claims Back-to-Back Area Championship The Lady Chaps soccer (LCS) team secured their second consecutive Area championship with a dominant 5-0 victory. LCS wasted no time, netting all five goals in the first half before the game was called due to inclement weather. Senior Macy C. and freshman Daniella D. opened the scoring, continuing their strong postseason connection. Two minutes later, Macy C. capitalized on a long through ball from junior Brynnlee B. Brynnlee then set up freshman Kali M. for her first career playoff goal before adding a goal of her own off a combination play with Alexis Q. The final score came when Alexis Q. tapped in a rebound from a shot by Kali M. Halftime brought a weather delay due to a thunderstorm, and after a brief attempt to resume play, officials made the call to end the game at 5-0 rather than waiting out further lightning delays. LCS will face the Athens Lady Hornets in the Regional Semi-Finals on Friday, March 28, at 6 p.m. at Better Life Stadium in Forney, Texas (North Forney High School). Game Stats    •   Macy C. – 1 Goal, 1 Assist    •   Brynnlee B. – 1 Goal, 2 Assists    •   Kali M. – 1 Goal, 1 Assist    •   Alexis Q. – 1 Goal, 1 Assist    •   Daniella D. – 1 Goal    •   Lexis J. (GK) – 7th Shutout of the Year

Lady Chaps Dominate Caddo Mills, Claim Second Straight Bi-District Title The Lady Chaps soccer team became bi-district champions for the second consecutive year with a dominant 7-1 victory over Caddo Mills. In a rematch of last year’s first-round playoff game, Aubrey faced a physical and athletic Caddo Mills squad. The first 10 minutes saw both teams create scoring chances, but the Lady Chaps struck first. On a counterattack, senior Macy Childers found freshman Daniella Dominic-Etuk wide open in the middle of the 18-yard box for the opening goal. Just four minutes later, junior Brynnlee Bohannon delivered a brilliant pass behind the defense to Childers, who finished with composure to put Aubrey up 2-0. Despite Caddo Mills’ pressure, the Lady Chaps’ young back line—freshmen Eva Jones and Lauralai Baker, along with sophomores Lilly Stewart and Jordin Gomez—held strong to maintain the two-goal lead at halftime. Expecting an energized second half from Caddo Mills, the Lady Chaps responded with an offensive explosion, scoring three goals in the first seven minutes after the break. Childers and Dominic-Etuk connected again for the first goal of the half. Two minutes later, Bohannon stole the ball in her own half, sprinted 60 yards, and was fouled from behind in the box before calmly converting the ensuing penalty kick. Three minutes after that, Bohannon assisted Dominic-Etuk’s third goal, securing her hat trick. Toward the end of the match, Childers delivered a perfect cross to senior Andrea Anez, who buried her first goal of the season with a left-footed finish. The scoring was capped off when the captains combined again, with Bohannon assisting Childers for the seventh goal. Although goalkeeper Lexis Jones conceded one goal, she delivered a standout performance, making 13 key saves, including a crucial penalty kick stop that helped maintain momentum in the second half. The Lady Chaps advance to the area round, where they will face LIFE Oak Cliff next week. Game details are still being finalized. Game Stats:    •   Sr. Macy Childers: 2 goals, 3 assists    •   Jr. Brynnlee Bohannon: 1 goal, 3 assists    •   Fr. Daniella Dominic-Etuk: 3 goals    •   Sr. Andrea Anez: 1 goal    •   Jr. Lexis Jones: 13 saves, 1 PK save
