I'm not sure what happened to Stanton against Logan View/Scribner-Snyder. The Mustangs played great basketball against Oakland-Craig and Plainview.
Stanton (11-3) takes on Boone Central/Newman Grove (7-3) on the road Friday night.
The Cardinals picked up a huge 60-55 win at O'Neill Monday night.
The Mustangs lost 76-50 to the Eagles, and could have a huge challenge on their hands.
It's going to be very important for Stanton to show up and play a good game given what Boone Central/Newman Grove did Monday night.
The Mustangs have to play the way they did against Oakland-Craig and Plainview. Stanton can't afford to have a repeat of the Logan View/Scribner-Snyder game.
Nickolite, Sperl, Stallbaum, Sieh, and Klinetobe all need to have big games scoring for the Mustangs.
Stanton is at their best when multiple players get in on the act.
Having three players in double figures and two in high single digits is a good recipe for success.
The Mustangs need to play the way they did on both ends of the floor against the Pirates. A 40-point win is a big deal regardless of who the opponent is.
Stanton has their work cut out for them with this game being on the road, but there's no doubt in my mind the Mustangs are capable of getting the job done.
It's just going to take a great game on Stanton's part.

The Mustangs played incredible basketball against the Raiders. Stanton struggled against Oakland-Craig and Plainview.
The Mustangs (9-5) take on Boone Central/Newman Grove (1-9) on the road Friday night.
The Cardinals picked up their first win of the season at O'Neill Monday night, winning 51-48.
Boone Central/Newman Grove has played some opponents tough this season, others they've laid down against.
The Cardinals haven't been the most consistent team this season, and have struggled against quite a few teams.
A win can sort of change momentum and the outlook for a team, and I'm sure Boone Central/Newman Grove will be playing with more confidence than they were in the 2015 part of the season.
I fully expect Stanton to win, but the game could prove to be more difficult than what it might have been a couple of weeks ago.
The Mustangs need to be ready to play a complete, four quarter game. Stanton can't afford to start off slow like they did against Oakland-Craig and Plainview.
The Mustangs need to get off to a fast start like they did against Logan View/Scribner-Snyder.
Huss needs to keep scoring at a high rate for Stanton and Burtwhistle and Brandl need to keep helping as well.
Eventually, Stanton needs to develop more scorers.
