Chaps break expectations

The Aubrey Chaparrals football program experienced a mass exodus with over 30 seniors graduating in May, so the Chaps will look to a handful of returning starters and a few new faces to beat the preseason predictions.

The Chaps will need big seasons from senior defensive standouts Logan Gannon and Camron Haygood and junior center Brayden Wood, who joined the team this spring.

“Those two, in particular, with their work ethic and practice, really have to set an example for our younger guys that are more inexperienced, and when we get in the fire, they're going to have to be there to say, ‘Hey guys, hang on. We can get through this,’” Aubrey defensive coordinator Dana Bloedel said.
