GARLAND – 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 got two receiving touchdowns from senior wide receiver Santana Quinn.

Senior defensive back DJ Wells had two interceptions in the last two minutes of the first half for the Mustangs, the latter of which led to a Josh Weston 29-yard field goal as time expired. His field goal reduced Sachse’s deficit to 22-10.

However, Rockwall blitzed Sachse with 28 second-half points to re-assume control.
