The win put the Lady Chaps in first place and into the championship game against a long and athletic Texoma Christian squad. After one of their best first quarters of the season, Aubrey allowed Texoma Christian to climb back into the game before halftime. Following adjustments at the break, the Lady Chaps controlled the second half to secure their first tournament championship under Coach Black. In addition to the title, junior point guard Aniyah Davis was named to the all-tournament team after averaging 15 points per game over the weekend. Aubrey returns to action at home Tuesday against Pilot Point. ⸻ Gentlemen Chaps Coach Smith Aubrey closed the tournament with a 76–49 win over Red River, finishing 3–1 for the event. “We are playing better as a team and hopefully are growing into the kind of team that can compete in district,” Coach Smith said. He noted improved ball movement on offense and better shot-making, along with progress on the defensive end. “We know we have a long way to go and a lot of work,” he said. Aubrey hosts a tough Ponder team Tuesday for Senior Night, and Smith hopes for a strong home crowd to support the young group.

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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE INDIANAPOLIS, IN – November 7, 2025 Aubrey FFA Members Return Inspired After 98th National Convention Eight Students Gain Leadership Training and Career Exposure During Week-Long Trip. INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Aubrey FFA announced the successful participation of eight student members and two advisors at the 98th National FFA Convention & Expo in Indianapolis, IN. Held earlier this week, the convention serves as one of the largest annual student gatherings in the country, providing unparalleled opportunities for career development, leadership training, and networking for the future leaders of agriculture. The Aubrey FFA delegation engaged in numerous educational sessions, including a powerful keynote address from motivational speaker A’ric Jackson, who challenged students to lead with purpose and passion. Students spent time navigating the massive FFA Expo, connecting directly with colleges and major agricultural businesses, and honing essential soft skills in specialized leadership development workshops. "This convention is an unparalleled opportunity for our students to connect their classroom learning to the future of agriculture," said Chelsea Fewell, Advisor. "The experience, from touring a logistics hub to hearing from industry leaders, truly sharpens their vision for purposeful leadership and validates the hard work they put in every day." Beyond the convention floor, the students expanded their understanding of the supply chain with a tour of the Case New Holland (CNH) Master Depot in Lebanon, IN. The group also took advantage of cultural and team-building activities, including a visit to the Indianapolis Zoo, trying their hand at duckpin bowling, and exploring the historic Monument Circle downtown. Aubrey FFA extends its gratitude to the Apgar-Castiglione family for hosting an amazing seafood dinner at Salt on Mass, and to Dairy Solutions for treating the group to a fun meal at Buca di Beppo, both of which enriched the students’ travel experience. Aubrey ISD’s continued support in allowing students to travel out of state for these experiences is invaluable to the organization's mission of developing premier leadership, personal growth, and career success. Founded in 1967, Aubrey FFA is the local chapter of the National FFA Organization, dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. Currently, Aubrey ISD has 422 members.
