Football season is well on its way, and the Aubrey Chaparrals’ football program hit the turf for their first week of practice last week.
Under the direction of long-time Aubrey athletic director and head football coach Keith Ivy, the 8-5 Chaps finished fourth in 4A-1 Region II District 7 before losing a nailbiter to the rival Celina Bobcats in the 4A Regional Semifi- nals.
“Last year was truly a task for us, going up a classifi cation, and especially going to the district that that UIL put us in,” Ivy said. “It ended up being the toughest district in all of 4A Division I across the entire state, and it’s predicted to be the same way going into this season. We had a really good football team and finished things off strong, but just to show how tough our district was, we ended up in fourth place, which was a little bit of new territory for us, but nonetheless, we were super proud of our guys.”
