The Aubrey Soccer Program Sweeps Farmersville Friday Night Coach Woodward Reports: The Aubrey Girls soccer team won their first district home game against Farmersville with a score of 8-2! The Lady Chaps now have a record of 4-4 overall and 1-1 in district. Macy Childers scored 3 goals and assisted 1 goal, while Brynnlee Bohannon scored 3 goals. Landry Gannon scored 1 goal and assisted 1 goal, and Laney Lomas, Lilly Stewart, Kendall Sweetman, and Alexis Quinn each assisted 1 goal. The girls' next game will be on Tuesday, Jan. 30 at Celina at 7:15 p.m. Coach Dumond Reports: Last night was a special night for Aubrey Soccer as the boys played in a nail-biter against a scrappy Farmersville team. The first half was spent in the midfield with a few opportunities for both teams, and Aubrey fighting against the wind. However, neither team managed to find the back of the net in the first half. In the second half, Farmersville played a very compact game while Aubrey dominated possession and took shot after shot, but still couldn't find the goal. The game ended in a 0-0 tie in regulation. It then went to penalty kicks, with Aubrey winning 4-3. The penalty kicks were scored respectively by Spencer Berger, Vladyslav Dryshliuk, Aiden Pearson, and Osvaldo Osorio. Next Tuesday, Aubrey will face district rival Celina at home with a 7:15 p.m. kick-off. We encourage everyone to come out and pack the stands!
