Coach Gathright Reports:
Jan. 5
The Aubrey Lady Chaps fell to 0-1 in district and 9-10 overall with a 38-23 loss to Panther Creek. The score by quarters for Aubrey were 8, 0, 8, 7. The score by quarters for Panther Creek were 13, 4, 8, 13. Scorers for Aubrey were Kynadi Hall with 9 points, Brooklyn Weier with 4, Landry Cannon with 3, Shelby Harrington, Molly Ward, and Abby Buxton with 2 points each, and Addy Cagle with 1 point.
I was very proud of the effort the girls gave today. We did a very good job in the 2-3 zone, and that kept us in the game. We just had a hard time scoring against the pressure that Panther Creek can apply. We got down early to start the game, but I was proud of the girls continuing to fight to stay in the game.
The Lady Chaps return to action on Tuesday night at home against Anna.

Bridgeport 04
Last Night, the Aubrey Boys' soccer team took on a stacked Bridgeport team and came up short, losing 4-1. The Chaps had numerous scoring opportunities and showed great skill in the air. Leo Mejia scored the only goal of the game for Aubrey, as they missed a penalty kick early on. Despite the scoreline, the Chaps had many positive aspects to build on and were much more competitive against Bridgeport this year. We invite you to come and support the Chaparrals as they face Graham on Saturday, January 6th, at 12:30 pm.

Celina 65
This was a tough loss in the championship game in the Allen Tournament, which brings our record to 15-7. Celina came out on fire hitting 7 threes in the first half. I was very proud of how our boys responded in the third quarter with lots of energy to take a 2 point lead going into the 4th. The game was close to the end but Celina was able to seal it with 9 made free throws in the 4th quarter. I believe we will grow from this and make us more prepared for them in district play.
Aubrey contributors include Tyler Hightower (14), Branden West (2), Gavin Barnes (4), Jaedon Bogar (6), Emory Jones (7), and Elijah Herron (23).
Record Overall 15-7
