A Season-Best Effort from Dirk Williams Jr. Leads Sachse over North Garland

The win was the sixth in a row for Sachse, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Williams Jr. and Sachse will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on South Garland at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

For the year, Little has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 65 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 20.29 rushing yards per game.
