Stanton continues to play great basketball and run the table.
The Mustangs (16-1) host West Point-Beemer (7-12) in the winner's bracket of the East Husker Conference Tournament Monday night.
The Cadets beat Oakland-Craig 61-49 in the first round of the East Husker Conference Tournament in Oakland Friday night.
Stanton defeated West Point-Beemer 40-29 at home on December 6th.
The Cadets appear to be figuring things out though, and are a scary team right now, in my opinion.
I don't know if many teams want to face West Point-Beemer right now given how they've played in their last couple of games.
The Cadets should have the Mustangs' attention at the very least.
Jessie Brandl, MacKenzie Brandl, Burtwhistle, and Heppner all need to keep doing their thing for Stanton.
The Mustangs are on a 15-game winning streak, and have played great and superb basketball all season long.
With that said, Stanton needs to turn in another superb effort Monday night if they want to advance to the semifinals of this tournament.
Most people probably think the Mustangs will play Howells-Dodge in the championship game, and they very well could, but Stanton has to worry about getting past West Point-Beemer first.
I think Monday night's game has a chance to be very close, but I could also see the Mustangs winning big.
Stanton has had a marvelous season, and is playing better basketball than they were when they beat the Cadets the first time, in my opinion.
I believe West Point-Beemer is playing better basketball now too though so there shouldn't be an advantage for either team from that aspect of things.
Tip-off is slated for 6:00 p.m.
