Lady Chaps’ Historic Season Marks the Beginning of Great Things Coach Baker reports: What a historic season it was for the Lady Chaps soccer program. Though it ended with a loss in the Class 4A Division II state semifinal to a defensively strong Randall High School, the team gave it everything they had. The Lady Chaps battled hard Friday night in a tightly contested match, with few scoring chances for either side. Ultimately, a well-placed free kick proved to be the difference, and despite their best efforts, the Lady Chaps were unable to find an equalizer. It was an incredible run for the program, especially in just its second year of UIL eligibility. The team posted an 18-4 record, scored 90 goals while allowing just 33, finished second in district and advanced to the fifth round of the playoffs — all improvements from last season. We extend our sincere thanks to all the parents and community members who showed up in support throughout the year. Special appreciation goes to the Aubrey ISD administration for its continued support. And to our six seniors — thank you for helping build this program from the ground up. Your leadership has laid the foundation and set the standard for all future Lady Chaps to follow.

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
