Good offensive and defensive play Thursday night, Stanton just couldn't carry things over to Friday night.
The Mustangs (1-1) host West Point-Beemer (1-0) Tuesday night.
The Cadets won 61-56 at Arlington in Double Overtime Thursday night.
West Point-Beemer appears to be solid once again this year, but I think Stanton can definitely hang in there and make it a game of things and win.
The Mustangs have to pound the rock inside with Arens and Bates.
Both have proven to be big factors on offense and rebounding so far this season.
Spotanski has also played well as has Krusemark and Larson.
If all these guys could score high again Tuesday night then Stanton might be able to do it.
The Mustangs have to defend well also though if they want to win.
West Point-Beemer is respectable on offense, but they're somewhat containable I think.
Guard play could be a big factor in this one.
It's Stanton's bigs against the Cadets' speed and athleticism.
I think both teams would prefer to get up and down the floor, but could play a slow paced, half court defensive game if they need to.
I think this could be a grind it out affair for both teams.
Both teams are very familiar with and know one another very well, and it should be a good game.
Stanton has played two games so far whereas West Point-Beemer's second game of the season on Saturday was postponed.
I think the Cadets might be the fresher team coming out, but with that said the Mustangs might be in better game shape.
It will be interesting to see how Stanton responds to what took place Friday night.
The Mustangs were hit with some adversity and I'm curious to see how Stanton responds to it and what they do about it.
Big opportunity in front of the Mustangs Tuesday night, their only game of the week this week.
The Stanton Girls Basketball Team won 51-28 at home over Tekamah-Herman Thursday night before falling 40-39 at Howells-Dodge Friday night.

Very strong performance from Stanton Thursday night, and a tough loss Friday night.
The Mustangs (1-1) host West Point-Beemer (1-0) Tuesday night.
The Cadets blasted Arlington 76-37 on the road Thursday night.
West Point-Beemer was 13-18 from three point range as a matter of fact.
Stanton definitely has their work cut out for them in this one, but the Mustangs have had the Cadets' number recently.
I think the Mustangs' defense will definitely be put to the test in this one though.
West Point-Beemer plays a fast tempo and has some girls who really know how to score.
Stanton has to control the pace of the game and play at their tempo and style.
The Mustangs can't let the Cadets get out and run, and score a lot of points at will.
Stanton has to contain West Point-Beemer's scorers and shooters, and limit their opportunities at the basket.
The Mustangs have to prevent the Cadets from getting second, third, and maybe even fourth scoring opportunities at the basket.
Stanton has to play tight, in your face, defense, and apply ball pressure.
The Mustangs have to contest shots and box out.
Playing physical and having good footwork is important and critical for Stanton as well, in my opinion.
The Mustangs have to outwork, outhustle, and outplay West Point-Beemer.
Stanton has to want it more than the Cadets do, and quite honestly has to be upset about Friday night's loss.
Brandl needs more help from her teammates scoring the basketball.
I'm sure she will get that help at some point, but the Mustangs hope that help comes Tuesday night.
Stanton has to go out there and play to their capability and potential, and take the frustration of losing to the Jaguars on Friday out on the Cadets.
Both teams really need this one badly if you ask me.
