The Wylie Pirates snapped a two-game losing streak and retook their place atop the District 9-6A standings with back-to-back wins.

Donaven Davis led the way with 16 points, while Noah Mallory chipped in 14 including a strong fourth quarter to beat the Mustangs Friday night at home. Sachse cut the lead to five points at the half, but a strong Wylie defensive presence was the difference in the second half.
