Sachse was able to overcome mistakes during their run to a second consecutive District 9-6A title. But against Rockwall, Sachse head coach Mark “Red” Behrens knew that his Mustangs had to play a flawless game.
Unfortunately for Sachse, it was nowhere close to flawless.
Rockwall forced six Sachse turnovers, punctuated by a 31-yard interception return for a touchdown by junior safety Will Ashworth early in the fourth quarter, and the Yellowjackets cruised to a 50-17 win over the Mustangs from Homer B. Johnson Stadium in a Class 6A-Division I bi-district playoff game last Friday.
Sachse senior wide receiver Santana Quinn had touchdown receptions of 15 and 16 yards.
Senior defensive back CJ Wells had two interceptions, the latter of which led to a 29-yard field goal by senior Josh Weston as time expired to end the first half.
Weston’s kick brought Sachse to within 22-10.
Rockwall, though, scored the first 28 points of the second half to dash Sachse’s chances of a comeback.
