Lady Chaparrals sweep Lindale and get rival Sanger Tuesday with a state semifinal spot on the line

Aubrey's volleyball team is one win away from the state semifinals, and the last obstacle is a team it already knows well.

The Lady Chaparrals swept Lindale 25-21, 25-13, 25-11 on Friday night at Royse City High in the Class 4A Division I regional semifinals, the Denton Record-Chronicle reported. After a close first set, Aubrey pulled away in the next two. It was the team's third straight 3-0 win of the playoffs, following sweeps of Dallas Pinkston and Alvarado in the first two rounds.

Next up is District 9-4A rival Sanger in the regional final at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, at Guyer High School in Denton. The winner advances to the state semifinals.

Third meeting of the season

Aubrey (42-6) won both regular-season matches against Sanger, 3-0 and 3-1, according to the Record-Chronicle. The Lady Chaparrals are ranked No. 3 in the state in 4A Division I by the Texas Girls Coaches Association.

This is Aubrey's seventh consecutive trip to a regional final. The program lost in that round last season and is chasing its first state semifinal appearance since 2024, which would be its third in that seven-year run.

Sanger (31-13), ranked No. 9 in the division, reached the round by sweeping Sulphur Springs at Wylie High on Friday, 25-17, 25-23, 26-24. The Lady Indians are playing in their first regional final since 2018 and have never reached a state semifinal.

Argyle is the only other Denton-area team still alive. It plays Abilene Wylie in a 5A Division II regional final Tuesday at Lipan High.
