Chaparrals close the regular season at home tonight with an unbeaten district title in reach

Aubrey's football team plays its last regular-season game Friday night, Nov. 6, with a perfect run through district play on the line.

The Chaparrals host Godley at 7 p.m. at Chaparral Memorial Stadium, the Post Signal reported. It is also senior night and the final home game of the season.

Aubrey comes in ranked No. 10 and has won six straight, averaging 45 points a game during the streak, according to the Post Signal. Its last outing was a 70-40 win over Alvarado on Oct. 30.

"Godley is in our path to an undefeated district championship, and our goal is to do it in dominant fashion," Aubrey athletic director and head coach Keith Ivy told the Post Signal.

The visitors

Godley arrives at 1-8 and on a four-game losing streak, the newspaper reported. Its most recent losses were 49-48 to Ranchview and 45-12 to Lake Dallas.

The Wildcats still score. They have averaged more than 30 points a game in district play, but they have given up 45 or more in each of their last five games, according to the Post Signal.

Ivy pointed to the visitors' passing attack. "They can put some points up, and their quarterback is a good thrower," he told the paper.

A win would give Aubrey a district championship without a loss heading into the playoffs.
