Aubrey ISD

The Aubrey Boys Soccer team secured a victory tonight against a scrappy new Pilot Point team at home. It was a special evening with our youth joining us for Youth Night festivities. Thank you to all middle school and Aubrey Youth who showed up to attend the game. We can’t wait for you to play for us one day, and you are welcome to come out anytime to hang out with the high school soccer players. Following the girls’ big victory, the boys started with a slow first half, leading 1-0 with a goal scored by freshman Osvaldo Osorio about halfway through. In the second half, Aubrey played a more attacking brand of soccer, connecting more passes and possessing the ball with excitement. Clark Stewart scored the second goal early in the second half, followed by Juan Serrano and Aiden Pearson, making it 4-0 with roughly 20 minutes remaining. Pilot Point scored on a penalty kick with no time left, bringing the final score to 4-1. The Chaps take on Gainesville at Gainesville on Friday at 7:15 PM.

The Aubrey Lady Chaps secured a playoff berth for the eighth year in a row with a 46-40 win over Ranchview. The Lady Chaps improve to 4-6 in district and 13-15 overall. Score by quarters for Aubrey were 19, 8, 10, 9. Score by quarters for Ranchview were 10, 4, 18, 8. Scorers for Aubrey were Kynadi Hall with 14 points, Brooklyn Weier with 13, Addy Cagle with 8 points, Landry Gannon and Abby Buxton with 4 points each, and Molly Ward with 3 points. I was very proud of this team for continuing to work hard and battle after starting district at 1-5. They continued to work hard in practice and kept a very positive attitude. I was also very proud of the way they wanted to keep the playoff streak alive. The Lady Chaps will now face Oak Cliff Faith Family in the bi-district round of the playoffs. Details will be sent out in the next couple of days. Pictured: Seniors honored this evening Brooklyn Weier and Madison Temple.

The renovations to Aubrey High School are currently underway. The construction project, which is part of the 2022 bond package, includes an addition to the school that will increase capacity to 2,000 students by expanding the parking lot and adding a second level to the front of the campus. The estimated completion date for the construction is 2026.

Today, we continue our expression of appreciation to the dedicated Aubrey Independent School District (AISD) counselors who provide invaluable support to students in various areas. These counselors play a crucial role in assisting students with academic achievement strategies, helping them manage their emotions, and fostering the development of essential interpersonal skills. Their dedication and expertise contribute significantly to the overall well-being and success of every student in AISD. Today, we recognize the counselors at Aubrey Middle School (AMS): Michelle Birkhead and Erin Howard #NSCW24

The girls soccer team suffered a tough 1-4 loss tonight against a talented Anna team. In the first half, Macy Childers scored a goal with an assist from Landry Gannon. Despite the girls' efforts and their hard fight to equalize the score in the second half, they were unable to find the back of the net. The Lady Chaps will be back in action on February 6th at home. The JV team will play against Sanger at 4:00, followed by the Varsity team against Pilot Point at 5:30. Tuesday, February 6th is Aubrey Youth Soccer Night! Come out and show your support!

The Aubrey Boys Soccer team played against Anna this afternoon in a Saturday noon kickoff. The boys had a very defensive first half against a counter-attacking Anna team that was solid on the flanks. Both teams had roughly equal opportunities in the first half, but despite their best efforts, the score at halftime was 0-0. Aubrey came out in the second half with the wind and a more attacking mindset to battle it out and grind out a 1-0 win. The goal was scored in the run of play by Juan Serrano, and Aubrey had many more set piece opportunities, but could not capitalize. The defensive backline was stellar, holding off some relentless set piece opportunities by Anna. Defensive recognition goes to Spencer Berger, Osvaldo Osorio, Clark Stewart, and Luke Travascio. Please come out and support the boys as they take on Pilot Point next Tuesday for Aubrey Youth Soccer Night at Aubrey Chaparral Stadium at 7:15 PM!

Aubrey improved our overall record to 22-9 and 5-2 in district play with a big road win against Celina. This was a hard-fought battle from beginning to end. Celina had a 4 or 5 point lead throughout most of the game. Our guys showed great perseverance and determination to just keep playing. We had some great defensive stops in the 4th quarter that allowed us to get a few run outs. Once we took the lead with a few minutes to go, the guys put the game away by making 6 free throws in the last two minutes. I am extremely proud of how these guys play every game. The guys are showing great ability to win close games down the stretch. We have another big home game on Tuesday against Ranchview.

The Aubrey Lady Chaps improved to 3-6 in district and 12-15 overall with a 36-28 win over Celina. Score by quarters for Aubrey were 13, 4, 8, 11. Score by quarters for Celina were 5, 10, 8, 5. Scorers for Aubrey were Kynadi Hall with 12 points, Shelby Harrington with 11, Brooklyn Weier with 9, and Addie Cagle and Abby Buxton with 2 points each. I was very proud of the way the girls finished the game tonight. We outscored Celina 11-5 in the fourth quarter and hit some big free throws at the end to seal the victory. I was also proud of the way the team played defensively by holding Celina under 30 points. The Lady Chaps return to action for the final regular season game at home on Tuesday night against Ranchview. We will also be honoring Brooklyn Weier and Madison Temple on senior night.

The Lady Chaps suffered a 0-4 loss against reigning State Champs, Celina, bringing their record to 4-5 overall and 1-2 in district play. Despite a defensive first half, the girls showed great offensive effort in the second half. We had multiple shots on goal, but struggled to score against a solid goalkeeper. With each game played as a full team, the girls are growing stronger together. We will continue to work hard and strive for better results. Our next game will be on Friday at Home against Anna. The JV game starts at 5:30, followed by Varsity at 7:15. We appreciate your support!

Mrs. Thomas dedicated over 30 years to teaching middle school and found joy in painting her surroundings in Washington DC. She is renowned for her ability to see abstract beauty in ordinary objects. Alma Woodsey Thomas once said, "Through color, I have sought to concentrate on beauty and happiness, rather than on man's inhumanity to man.

Tonight, the Aubrey Chaparrals came just shy of beating a state-ranked Celina team. We lost 1-2 from two set pieces, a corner and a free kick. At halftime, Aubrey was down 2-0, but came out fighting in the second half with a goal from Juan Paredes about 10 minutes into the second half. Aubrey had a relentless attack but just couldn't put the ball in for the second goal. Aubrey will take on Anna at Anna on Saturday, Feb. 3, at 12 p.m.

Aubrey improved our overall record to 21-9 and 4-2 in district play with a big win over Van Alstyne. This was one of those wins that you just have to gut it out and keep fighting to the very end. Van Alstyne’s size and defensive zone that they run gave us a lot of trouble at their place, so we knew we had to move the ball well and be in attack mode to have a chance to win. I still believe that any team in this district can beat any other team on any given night. Our boys know we cannot be satisfied and that we need to bring our best effort this coming Friday at Celina. Scorers for Aubrey: Branden West 2 Gavin Barnes 8 Emory Jones 22 Tyler Brown 4 Elijah Herron 12

The Aubrey Lady Chaps improved to 2-6 in district and 11-15 overall with a 38-34 win over Van Alstyne. The score by quarters for Aubrey were 10, 8, 12, 8, while the score by quarters for Van Alstyne were 10, 10, 4, 10. Scorers for Aubrey were Brooklyn Weier with 22 points, Kynadi Hall with 6, Shelby Harrington with 4, and Landry Gannon, Molly Ward, and Abby Buxton with 2 points each. This was a big win for us tonight. The girls did an excellent job on the defensive end of the floor. Brooklyn really got going scoring-wise in the first half with four threes before halftime. The girls did a great job at the end of the game to keep us ahead. The Lady Chaps return to action on Friday night at Celina.

Progress is being made on Elementary #4 and Middle School #2. The new elementary is set to open August 2024, while the middle school is scheduled to open August 2025. These campuses are part of the bond that was passed in 2022. It is an exciting time to be a Chaparral!
