Aubrey FFA Hosts First Greenhand Camp Aubrey, Texas – The first Aubrey FFA Greenhand Camp, held at Aubrey Middle School, was planned and hosted by the chapter officer team on November 4th. Greenhand Camp is for first year FFA members enrolled in an agricultural science class. The purpose of the event is to introduce these students to the incredible opportunities for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success offered through agriculture education and FFA. The officer team, made up of nine Aubrey High School students, created purposeful and engaging activities in the form of interactive stations to teach the members about official dress, the FFA Motto, the FFA emblem, leadership opportunities and team building exercises. The goal of Greenhand Camp was to demonstrate what it means to be an FFA member and inspire future involvement in the organization. At the end of the event, students had the opportunity to ask the team any questions they had and a notable question was, “What does FFA mean to you?” Each officer took turns sharing their answer by inviting the students into their CT story of how FFA has impacted them. London Gravely, the Chaplain, ended her answer with an empowering statement, “Everybody has a place in FFA.”

Aubrey is set to face Pleasant Grove in the Regional Final playoff round on Friday, Nov. 15, at 6:00 PM at Greenville High School! Ticket prices: $6 for adults and $4 for students. Accepted passes include District, TGCA, Senior, and THSCA.

Aubrey Gentlemen Chaps Basketball Update Our Gentlemen Chaps have started the 24-25 season on fire! Nov. 9: The team kicked things off with a strong 76-43 win over Diamond Hill-Jarvis! After a rough start, falling behind 0-8, the boys settled in, going on an 18-3 run and never looking back. Coach Smith is proud of the team’s energy and effort, but knows there’s still work to be done with defensive rotations and offensive movement. Scorers: Tyler Hightower 20, Marquez Lucas 14, Nate Dyer 10, Jadin McMoore 7, Jeremy Wales 7, Carston Stephenson 5, and more! Nov. 12: Next up, the Chaps took on a strong Pottsboro team and, despite being undersized, showed true grit and determination for a 68-65 win. Coach Smith praised the boys’ poise in the fourth quarter that secured the victory. Scorers: Tyler Hightower 27, Jadin McMoore 14, Aidan McKeehen 10, and others. Next up is a tough matchup against the state-ranked Krum Bobcats! Keep bringing the energy, Chaps! #AubreyChaps #GoChaps #ChapsBasketball

The Lady Chaps defeated Sunnyvale in the Regional Semi-Finals last night. We looked really tight and nervous in the first set, and we allowed Sunnyvale to keep us out of system. We settled in after the first set and passed a lot better. Chloe and Abby did a really good job tonight of picking up a lot of our kills. They really focussed on Kynadi and it allowed Abby and Chloe to have a lot more open places to swing. I was very proud of our fight and heart that we played with especially towards the end of sets. They are a really good team and have some really big hitters. I was just proud of our never give up attitude and we just kept focusing on us and it showed tonight. We will take on Texarkana Pleasant Grove in the Regional Finals.
