Aubrey High School

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.

The Lady Chaps’ season came to a close tonight, one game shy of state, after a hard-fought battle against Canyon Randall. We are so proud of all their hard work and determination. Special thanks to the coaches, parents, and fans for supporting their journey. We are #AubreyProud!

Aubrey 53 Krum 47 We started our first home game against Krum with lots of energy and jumped out to an 18-7 lead; sparked by our defense. They are a very strong team and came back sparked by some tough 3 point shooting to narrow our lead and it was back and forth the rest of the game. Very proud of how our boys handled the 4th quarter pressure to finish strong. We currently only have one returning varsity player on the floor so I am really proud of how quickly these guys are adjusting to the Varsity level. We still have several areas to improve on. I believe these guys will work hard to get better everyday. Aubrey Scores: Jadin McMoore - 15, Marquez Lucas - 12, Tyler Hightower - 10, Aidan McKeehen - 8, Nate Dyer - 7, and Carston Stephenson -1

We did a really good job of adjusting our game plan throughout the game to be able to be successful on offense. We played with a lot of heart and fight throughout the match. I was very proud of the way we responded in set 3 after dropping set two. We did a much better job in sets 3 and 4 of making adjustments at the net blocking and really allowed us to take the momentum for good. Baylee did a really good job of controlling the offense and getting the ball to her hitting that was on fire at different points. Kynadi, Chloe and Abby did a really good job mixing up their shots and finding the holes in Pleasant Groves defense. Gracie Michael was all over the court for us defensvily. She had one of her best games of the year tonight. We will take on Canyon Randall in the State SemiFinals next week. Details about this game will be released at a later date.

This week was National School Psychology Week, a time to celebrate all the amazing things school psychologists do and the important role they play in our schools and communities. #ChapsAppreciate24

Seniors on the move! The Chaparral Legacy Cooperative for community members 60+ toured Aubrey Middle School yesterday. They visited fine arts classes seeing theatre, band and choir students in action, and also visited the outdoor education class where students were making mac and cheese in Dutch ovens outside. Before the tour began, they heard from Aubrey Middle School Principal Dr. Heather Baker who introduced her leadership team. They also perused old Aubrey ISD yearbooks which brought joy and laughter as they saw familiar faces. To become a part of the Chaparral Legacy Cooperative, please reach out to Aubrey ISD Deputy Superintendent Terrie McNabb at tmcnabb@aubreyisd.net
