Coppell had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They walked away with a 28-20 victory over the Sachse Mustangs on Friday. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Cowboys' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 25th, while the Mustangs are ranked 156th).
Carter Zingelmann went supernova, rushing for 102 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, while also throwing for 198 yards while completing 84.2% of his passes.
Coppell didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Sachse to a completion percentage of just 41.2%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from three players: Lincoln Gardner, Tyrell Roberson, and Isaiah Witherspoon, who each logged one passes deflected. Given Zingelmann's standout performance, it's clear Sachse's secondary just wasn't on the same level.
Coppell's defense didn't let Dirk Williams Jr.., get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for four sacks. That dominant display was truly a team effort as four different players picked up one apiece. Gardner was another major factor on D, picking up a sack, making ten total tackles, and defending one pass.
Loss or not, Sachse got some senior leadership from Williams Jr. and Roderick Rainwater. Williams Jr. rushed for 109 yards on only 12 carries, while Rainwater rushed for 108 yards.
Looking ahead, Coppell will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against Waxahachie at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Sachse, they are packing up and heading out on the road for their first away game of the season: they will take on Lamar at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
