Aubrey ISD

Today’s game marked the end of the season for Aubrey football, but the lessons learned, character built, and work ethic developed will last a lifetime. We couldn’t be prouder of our team and their coaches. A heartfelt thank you to the parents, fans, band, cheerleaders, dancers, trainers, and community for your unwavering support throughout the season.

Happy Thanksgiving, Aubrey ISD! Today, we reflect on all that we are thankful for—our incredible students, dedicated teachers and staff, supportive families, and wonderful community. May your day be filled with love, laughter, and gratitude. #ThankfulForAubreyISD

Coach Black Reports: Game 1: Aubrey vs Frisco Reedy A: 6 6 10 20 R: 6 27 44 51 Top Scorers: Addi Cagle 9, Paris Butler 8, Kenzie Temple 2 Game 2: Aubrey vs Wolfe City A: 10 11 23 29 WC: 9 23 33 40 Top Scorers: Addi Cagle 8, Paris Butler 6, Kodi Reeves 5 All in all, the first day of the Texoma Showcase (hosted by Pottsboro and Denison) showed a lot of growth for the Lady Chaps. In game one we faced a very talented Frisco Reedy team. We came out and had our best start this season and held our own against a team that has more size and experience. We struggled in the middle two quarters to score, but showed major growth in our rebounding on both sides of the ball. Despite the loss, there were many things in that game to be proud of. We then took that growth and continued it into game 2 against Wolfe City. We learned a valuable lesson in the second quarter after another great first quarter about the importance of playing with the same intensity across all four quarters. We came back in the second half and fought hard, but ultimately could not overcome the hole we dug ourselves in the second quarter. Texoma Showcase Day 2 Aubrey vs Whitesboro: A: 7 9 13 19 W: 16 22 30 36 Leading Scorers: Addi Cagle 4, Paris Butler 3, Lulu King 3, Marquia Lucas 3 Aubrey vs Cooper A: 5 21 33 47 C: 12 22 35 35 Leading Scorers: Addy Cagle 18, Abby Lynch-Buxton 8, Tatum Hoover 8, Alexa Clayton 7 After a slow start this morning against Whitesboro, the Lady Chaps found the win column for the first time this season against Cooper High School. While the Lady Chaps struggled to score against Whitesboro, offense started to click in game 2. The girls came out with a chip on their shoulder and executed the game plan on both sides of the ball. Overall, there were a lot of lessons learned and improvements made going into a much needed 5 day bread. The Lady Chaps will be back in action on Tuesday, December 3 at Ursuline Academy.

Help give our Chaps a true Texas-sized send-off to the Regional Semifinals! The team will depart Aubrey High School at 12 p.m., traveling down Main Street. Let’s line Main with posters, cowbells, balloons, and, most importantly, fans! Please park in designated spots, not along the street. Let’s show our Chaps how #AubreyProud we are!

Coach Smith Reports: Aubrey boys brought their record to 4-0 with a victory against Liberty Christian by a score of 88-70. We came out with a lot of energy and moved the ball well on offense. It helped that our outside shots were falling, as we made 14 three-point shots, distributing the wealth with six different players contributing a three-pointer. Great teamwork allowed five different players to finish in double-digit scoring. We still have areas to improve and are focused on getting better every day, but I’m pleased with how the team is playing together. We are preparing to face two 5A schools this coming week. Today, we travel to Frisco Centennial, and on Tuesday, we host Anna at home. Aubrey Scores: • Jadin McMoore - 9 • Marquez Lucas - 13 • Tyler Hightower - 19 • Aidan McKeehen - 19 • Nate Dyer - 15 • Jeremy Wales - 4 • Carston Stephenson - 11

Lady Chaps Basketball vs. Frisco Centennial Box Score AHS: 6 | 21 | 25 | 30 CHS: 13 | 13 | 25 | 32 Leading Scorers • Paris Butler: 9 • Marquia Lucas: 8 • Tatum Hoover: 5 • Abby Lynch-Buxton: 5 The Lady Chaps lost a close game to Centennial on Tuesday night, but there were plenty of positives. They shot the ball better than they have all season, hitting five 3-pointers in the first half. Their defensive effort and intensity were strong, and the coaching staff was pleased with how few points were allowed. Once the team improves on finishing inside against contact, they’ll be in good shape. The Lady Chaps return to action tomorrow night for their first home game against Carrollton Ranchview.

Aubrey High School Graduate Earns Prestigious American FFA Degree INDIANAPOLIS — The Aubrey FFA Chapter proudly announces that Sebastian Mejia, a 2023 graduate of Aubrey High School, has earned one of the National FFA Organization’s highest honors: the American FFA Degree. Awarded to fewer than 1% of FFA members annually, this recognition highlights Mejia’s exceptional dedication and achievements in agricultural education and career development. Mejia earned this distinction through a robust Placement Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) at Pennington Equipment Repair and Tire. His hands-on role focused on equipment maintenance and repair, where he honed technical skills, deepened his industry knowledge, and demonstrated a commitment to excellence. Through this SAE, Mejia embodied the values of responsibility, innovation, and perseverance central to FFA’s mission. Earning the American FFA Degree is a testament to Mejia’s hard work and dedication, requiring a minimum of three years of FFA membership, extensive SAE experience, and demonstrated leadership and community service. His achievement represents not only personal growth but also a commitment to advancing agricultural excellence and serving others. The Aubrey FFA Chapter congratulates Sebastian Mejia on this well-deserved honor and celebrates his success as a source of inspiration for current and future FFA members.
