Win and in.

That was the formula for the Sachse boys basketball team Tuesday night to clinch a playoff berth. The Mustangs could have clinched a berth if Rowlett were to defeat Naaman Forest, which the Eagles did. However, Sachse was determined to take care of business on its own accord. And that the Mustangs did.

Behind 13 points from Teagan Duffie, Sachse outscored District 9-6A champion Wylie 31-21 in the second half to rally from a three-point halftime deficit and earn a playoff-clinching 50-43 win over the Pirates at the Montgomery Center.

Matthew Hudgins posted 10 points in the victory, followed by nine each from Brayden Banks and Jordan Anderson-Urune.

Sachse will play Rockwall in the bi-district round of the Class 6A Division I playoffs at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 23 at Lovejoy High School.
