Coach Gathright Reports: The Aubrey Lady Chaps suffered a 41-30 loss to Van Alstyne, bringing their district record to 0-3 and their overall record to 9-12. Aubrey's scores by quarters were 7, 6, 7, and 10, while Van Alstyne's scores by quarters were 6, 3, 16, and 16. Leading scorers for Aubrey were Brooklyn Weier with 10 points, Kynadi Hall with 6 points, Shelby Harrington and Addie Cagle with 5 points each, and Landry Gannon and Molly Ward with 2 points each. Next, the Lady Chaps will be playing at home against Celina on Tuesday night.

The Lady Chaps Soccer team improved their record to 3-2 this season after winning 8-1 against Sanger. Sophomore and Captain, Brynnlee Bohannon scored 4 goals. Macy Childers scored 2 goals and had 2 assists. Junior, Alison Fleming, scored 1 goal. Maria Maldonado scored 1 goal. Jordin Gomez had 1 assist. After focusing on offense all week in practice, it was fun to see the team connect offensively with each other for this game. Defense maintained composure throughout the game, and made numerous offensive runs creating scoring opportunities for the team. Overall, I am proud of this team for applying practice to game day performance this week. The girls return to action on Tuesday, in Wichita Falls. JV plays Wichita Falls at 4:00 followed by Varsity vs Wichita Falls at 6:00!

Coach Smith Reports: Jan. 12 Aubrey 40 Van Alstyne 61 This was definitely not our best offensive performance of the year against Van Alstyen. Their size and zone defense caused us trouble, as they hit 12 threes against our man defense. In contrast, we only managed to hit 5 threes against their zone. Our game plan was to speed them up and turn it into a full court game, but they were able to match our pace. Ultimately, the difference was that they shot the ball better than us, even in transition. We will regroup and focus on improving for our game against Celina on Tuesday. Record Overall  17-8 District 0-1               Aubrey Score Contributors: Tyler Hightower 2 Branden West 12 Gavin Barnes 5 Jaedon Bogar 7 Emory Jones 5 Tyler Brown 2 Elijah Herron 7

Winter Weather Communication Reminders:  In Aubrey ISD, the safety of our staff and students is our top priority. Administrators are monitoring next week’s weather conditions closely. If the need for school closures or delays arises, we will utilize various communication tools to keep parents informed. These include the district website, social media platforms, KXAS TV NBC5, WFAA TV News8 and KDFW TV Fox 4. In addition, parents will receive notifications via email, phone, and text message through the student data system. Please monitor Aubrey ISD social media channels and District notifications for updates.

The Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) describes the role of a school board in the following way: the role of the school board is to ensure that a shared vision and goals are adopted for the district, establish systems and processes to accomplish those goals, allocate resources and provide support to ensure progress and accountability. The school board also advocates for the success of all students and works collaboratively with the district superintendent. We believe that the Aubrey ISD board does an excellent job of meeting each of these expectations. #SchoolBoardMonth
