The Aubrey Lady Chaparrals varsity basketball team earned its third district win of the season in a 40-29 road win over the Celina Lady Bobcats.
The two squads were evenly matched in the first half, going into the half tied 15-15, but the Lady Chaps’ defense smothered the Lady Bobcats in the second half, allowing Aubrey to take the win.
“We bounced back from a tough loss in overtime against Sanger Friday after having a 13-point lead, so I knew that it was going to be huge for us to come out tonight and respond, and they came out well in the first quarter,” said Nicole Black, Aubrey head girls basketball coach. “The second quarter was a little ugly. We struggled when Addy [Cagle] got in foul trouble, but they held on and then came out and played well in the second half. We've been talking a lot about coming out fast in the third quarter and finishing the game strong, and they did that tonight.”
