On a night celebrating Sachse’s seniors, four different seniors found the end zone.
However, the night belonged to Brendon Haygood, who ran for 358 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Mustangs to a 55-21 victory over South Garland to remain undefeated in District 9-6A Friday night from Homer B. Johnson Stadium.
Sachse (7-1, 6-0 9-6A) initially held the Titans (3-6, 1-5) to a three-and-out on the opening drive, but a defensive holding penalty allowed South Garland to continue its drive. The Titans took advantage, capping the drive with a 43-yard touchdown pass from Edson Rincon to Paulo Jimenez to open the scoring.
The Mustangs didn’t take long to answer, taking just four plays to go 75 yards. Two long runs by Brendon Haygood set up an easy 18-yard pitch-and-catch from Dirk Williams Jr. to Kalik Lockett to get on the board, but the ensuing PAT kick hit the upright.
