Aubrey ISD’s fourth chief of police, Kayla Elizalde, promotion ceremony was held this evening, where she was pinned by her grandfather, Billy Williams, a former constable and the current Justice of the Peace for Precinct 3 in San Augustine County.

Coach Smith Reports: Aubrey boys fell 58-50 to Red River Academy Saturday. The team looked a bit fatigued and lacked the energy we’ve shown in previous games. However, I’m confident we’ll bounce back, learn from this experience, and be ready for the upcoming tournament this weekend and district play. Next up: at Ponder on Tuesday. Aubrey Scorers:    •   Marquez Lucas Jr. - 5    •   Tyler Hightower - 15    •   Aidan McKeehen - 3    •   Jadin McMoore - 10    •   Nate Dyer - 6    •   Jaedon Bogar - 11 Record: 8-3

Aubrey Boys Basketball Game Recap Sanger Tournament – Lebanon Trail HS – Dec. 5 Aubrey Recap: The Sanger Tournament started strong for the Aubrey boys basketball team. The energy was evident from the tip-off, resulting in a commanding 24-10 lead by the end of the first quarter. The team maintained their intensity throughout the game, securing an impressive 80-48 victory over Lebanon Trail. Balanced scoring was a highlight, with five players reaching double figures—an excellent display of team basketball. Next, the team faces a tough challenge against Grapevine Faith tomorrow morning (12/6/24). Grapevine Faith has already surpassed 90 points in a game this season, promising a competitive matchup.

Aubrey (1-8) vs. Ursuline Academy (7-8) Score by Quarter: A: 9 | 11 | 21 | 33 U: 13 | 26 | 41 | 53 Scorers: Paris Butler 6, Marquia Lucas 6, Alexa Clayton 6, Addi Cagle 5 The Lady Chaps traveled to Dallas on Tuesday night to face a tough Ursuline Academy team. Once again, a rough second quarter put us in a hole heading into halftime, making it difficult to recover. However, there were several positives to take away from the game. Our bench stepped up, contributing 13 points—more than in recent games—and our scoring was more evenly distributed, reflecting improvements in offensive execution. The Lady Chaps will return to action this weekend at the S&S Tournament.

It was a great defensive effort to pull out a 59-44 road win. We struggled shooting and looked a little sloppy at times, but these guys played with great determination and grit, and that effort allowed them to come away with the win. We have a tournament this weekend in Sanger, which will include 4 games played over 3 days.

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.
