The Aubrey Chaparrals football team missed the playoffs for the first time in over a decade last season but are back on the hunt, looking to bounce back with a stronger performance in 2026.

Dave Campbell’s Texas Football released their predictions for the 2026 season, with the Chaparrals predicted to finish in the middle of the pack in a district filled with new faces.

“This is pretty much a brandnew district,” said Keith Ivy, Aubrey athletic director and head football coach. “… We’ve also never been in an eight-team district since I’ve been here in Aubrey, and this is going into my 13th season, so that brings a new wrinkle into it because you’re only going to have three nondistrict games, … but we know it's going to be a very competitive district from top to bottom.”
