Aubrey Boys Basketball Game Report - Panther Creek HS - Jan.11
Aubrey Recap:
We started the game with lots of energy. We executed well in the full court both offensively and defensively. It was a tough back-and-forth game in the 2nd period, and we went into halftime down by 3, 37-34. In the third period, we struggled with turnovers, which resulted in several fast-break points for the opposing team. Despite fighting hard in the 4th quarter, we came up short, losing 76-56 to a very strong, state-ranked Panther Creek team.

The Lady Chaps resumed district play today in Van Alstyne. After jumping out to an early lead, we struggled to score in the second quarter, which put us in a tough spot. Behind a strong defensive effort, we clawed back to within one point midway through the fourth quarter but were unable to score when it mattered most.
The Lady Chaps continue to improve and play with grit and effort. We will face Denton High School in a non-district game on Tuesday.
🏀Gentlemen Chap Basketball:
We came out on top in a hard-fought district road game with a gritty 61-55 overtime victory. While we didn’t play as sharply as we would have liked, the guys showed resilience, coming back in the final minute to force overtime. In the extra period, we executed well on offense and went 4-for-4 from the free-throw line to secure the win.
We have a bye on Tuesday, giving us a week to prepare for next Friday’s home game against Panther Creek.

⚽️Gentelmen Chap Soccer:
The Aubrey boys soccer team faced Kilgore in their first game of the season. Aubrey played a very defensive, counter-attacking style in the first half, holding preseason top-ranked Kilgore to a 1-0 lead. Kilgore’s goal came from a free kick, where Aubrey goalie Jack Goble made the initial save, but the ball’s momentum carried it across the line.
In the second half, Aubrey opened up their attack and created a few close scoring opportunities but couldn’t find the back of the net. Kilgore later capitalized on a free kick just outside the 18-yard box to score the final goal, ending the game 2-0.
Aubrey held their own against a perennial state power in Kilgore, with an even run of play and both teams matching up well. Kilgore coach Peralez remarked that Aubrey was “tough to beat and scrappy.”
Aubrey’s center back, Osvaldo Osorio, received a red card and will sit out the next game. The team’s next match is against Prosper Walnut Grove for their Senior Night on Tuesday at Children’s Health Stadium in Prosper.
⚽️Lady Chap Soccer: A report will be added here once received. https://www.facebook.com/share/19ofSnRr5X/?mibextid=wwXIfr
