The Aubrey Lady Chaparrals’ softball team threw the first official pitch of the 2026 season, with a 15-0 home win over the Bland Lady Tigers on Feb. 12.
Led by new starting pitcher Lily Paul, the Lady Chaps’ defense smothered their opponent to 1 hit, while their offense made tracks around the base path, piling up the runs.
It was good to get off to an exciting start,” Aubrey head softball coach James Ramsey said. “We felt like the bats were popping tonight, and we did some good things. Our freshman pitcher, [Paul], came out and threw some quality innings and allowed no runs in three innings of work, so we’re excited about the start, but we definitely have a lot of things to work on and continue to get better.”
