Aubrey ISD

Coach Smith Reports: Dec. 29 Aubrey 56 Celina 65 This was a tough loss in the championship game in the Allen Tournament, which brings our record to 15-7. Celina came out on fire hitting 7 threes in the first half. I was very proud of how our boys responded in the third quarter with lots of energy to take a 2 point lead going into the 4th. The game was close to the end but Celina was able to seal it with 9 made free throws in the 4th quarter. I believe we will grow from this and make us more prepared for them in district play. Aubrey contributors include Tyler Hightower (14), Branden West (2), Gavin Barnes (4), Jaedon Bogar (6), Emory Jones (7), and Elijah Herron (23). Record Overall  15-7

Coach Smith Reports: Dec. 28 Aubrey 57 Davenport HS 49 Aubrey improved to 15-6 with a win over a very good Davenport team in the Allen Tournament.  I am proud of our defense tonight. The team we played has been averaging over 70 points per game. Our guys locked in and played great team defense.  This puts us in a situation to play for a championship tomorrow at 2 pm.

Score by quarters for Sanger were 5, 12, 6, 9. Scorers for Aubrey were Brooklyn Weier with 12 points, Shelby Harrington with 9, Addy Cagle with 7, and Abby Buxton with 2.

Coach Smith Reports: Dec. 15 Played the 2nd game of the day with a lot more energy which led to a strong first quarter. Really proud of how the guys stuck together through a very tough losing streak. We know that adversity causes some men to break and others to break records. We are challenging these young men to use this adversity to help us be the best team we can be. It was good to see them finish the day with a successful win. Aubrey Luke Applin had a total of 6 points. Tyler Hightower scored 10 points, while Branden West contributed 8 points. Gavin Barnes scored 3 points, Jaedon Bogar had 7 points, and Emory Jones led the team with 12 points. Elijah Herron scored 8 points, and Avry Smith contributed 4 points.

Coach Smith Reports: Dec.15 Aubrey 47 City View 59 This one was our first bad loss. We did not play with any energy. Shots did not fall. It was just not a good game for us. I feel like in all the other games we have competed well, whether win or lose we played with energy and desire, but today we did not do that. We will get the ship right. Aubrey had multiple scorers in their game. Tyler Hightower scored 2 points, Branden West scored 11 points, Brock Temple scored 2 points, Gavin Barnes scored 6 points, Jaedon Bogar scored 10 points, Emory Jones scored 6 points, and Elijah Herron also scored 10 points.

Coach Smith Reports: Dec.14 Aubrey 62 Krum 67 We got off to a strong start. The game became a game of runs. Eventually, their quickness and their shooting ability hurt us. I am really proud of how the boys fought back. Every time they made a run to extend the lead, we would make a run to get it back. A very positive sign was that our bench play was better, and if we can continue to gel, we can be very strong by district play. In the game, Aubrey had multiple scorers. Tyler Hightower scored 7 points, Branden West scored 4 points, Brock Temple scored 6 points, Gavin Barnes scored 2 points, Jaedon Bogar scored 7 points, Emory Jones scored 15 points, and Elijah Herron scored 21 points.
