Sachse gets a scare from Skyline
An undefeated team versus a .500 one usually is the recipe for a blowout. But Skyline, which finished the regular season 5-5, gave Sachse (now 11-0) a fight in their 6A Division I bi-district matchup. Skyline led 13-7 at the half before Sachse got things going. Christian Cole and Jalen Mayden had long TD runs in the third quarter and Mayden threw a 21-yard pass to Nate Shelton in the fourth as Sachse pulled away for a 34-13 win.
