Lady Chaps Soccer (LCS) Shuts Out Farmersville
Saturday, Feb. 22, 2025 – LCS faced the Lady Farmers of Farmersville in a game that started later than expected due to the boys’ match going to a shootout. The Lady Chaps had a slow offensive start, generating only a handful of half-chances in the first quarter, but steadily ramped up the pressure and took control.
With one minute left in the first half, senior Macy Childers sent a dangerous cross into the box that the Farmers’ goalkeeper mishandled. Freshman Daniella Dominic-Etuk was in the perfect position to capitalize, tapping in the first goal of the game and shifting the momentum heading into halftime.
LCS wasted no time in the second half, scoring four goals in the first 16 minutes. Junior Brynnlee Bohannon showcased her field vision and passing skills, setting up both Dominic-Etuk and Childers for two goals each.
Defensively, the backline was solid, shutting down a fast and athletic Farmersville offense. Junior goalkeeper Lexis Jones was a key factor, making 10 saves and securing her fifth shutout of the season.
LCS will take on a red-hot Gainesville team Tuesday night on the road, with junior varsity kicking off at 5:30 p.m. and varsity at 7:15 p.m. in a match with playoff implications.
Stats:
• Fr. Daniella Dominic-Etuk – 3 goals (hat trick)
• Sr. Macy Childers – 2 goals, 1 assist
• Jr. Brynnlee Bohannon – 4 assists

Aubrey Battles Hard but Falls to Kennedale in Playoff Matchup
Aubrey fought hard but came up short against a strong Kennedale team, falling 59-48.
The Chaparrals started the game with energy, taking a 12-9 lead after the first quarter. However, Kennedale’s 6-foot-8 post player proved difficult to contain on the boards. Despite a gritty effort in the second half, Kennedale’s rebounding edge and free throw advantage made the difference.

A few minutes later, another freshman, Daniella Dominic-Etuk, scored her eighth goal of the season, assisted by senior Macy Childers. Right before halftime, Jones scored her second goal of the game and season, finishing a perfect pass from Childers.
The Lady Chaps started the second half just as fast as the first, with two quick goals from junior Brynnlee Bohannon. The goals were assisted by seniors Macy Childers and Payton Johnson, respectively. Bohannon now has 18 goals on the season, while Childers has 17 assists.

Aubrey boys soccer defeats Celina in hard-fought match
CELINA, Texas — Last night, the Aubrey varsity boys played Celina on the road and came away with the victory. This game was an extremely hard-fought battle and the best in the program’s young history up to this point.
Aubrey got off to a quick start with a corner kick header by Connor Gourd, assisted by Aiden Pearson, to take a 1-0 lead. Celina answered right before halftime with a free kick goal of its own, tying the game 1-1 at the break.
In the second half, John Serrano hit the post, and Gourd was there for the second-ball goal to put the game away with some stout defensive play.
Credit to Celina for a hard-fought game. The Aubrey boys will play Bonham at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at home for Teacher Appreciation Night.
