Braedyn Watkins’ eight-yard touchdown reception from Dirk Williams Jr. capped off an exciting 19-17 win for the Sachse Mustangs over the Wylie East Raiders on Friday night from Wylie ISD Stadium.
The Mustangs and Raiders played a close game throughout, with Wylie East leading 14-7 at the half. Sachse utilized a 12-point third quarter to take the lead for good and setting themselves up nicely in the District 9-6A title race.
Sachse was able to come out with the victory despite turning the ball over five times, with Williams Jr. throwing three interceptions. At the same time, the Raiders turned it over three times themselves.
Brendon Haygood was the star statistically for both teams. He ran for 180 yards on 23 carries and also scored two touchdowns.
Sachse plays North Garland next week while Wylie East will look to get off the mat against South Garland.
