Sachse enjoyed an excellent season, one in which the Mustangs finished 9-5 in District 11-6A and earned a postseason spot.
Once the season was over, several of its players got some more good news when they were included in the 2015-’16 All-District team.
Senior Melvin Daniels topped the Sachse list by being named Defensive Player of the Year. Fellow seniors Josh Goss and Devonte Emory made the second team, while another senior, Tim Collins, was named honorable mention along with sophomore Miles Macadory.
Rowlett’s Jason Busch was the Coach of the Year, while one of his senior, Oliver Powell, was the 11-6A MVP. Lakeview Centennial junior Zhaire Smith was the district’s Offensive Player of the Year, while Rowlett junior Jarrod Winston-Pendleton was the Newcomer of the Year.
