Good win on Saturday for Stanton, and a better performance on Tuesday against the Cadets than on Friday night against the Jaguars.
The Mustangs (1-2) take on Battle Creek (0-2) on the road Friday night.
The Braves lost 60-33 at Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family on Saturday.
Battle Creek has struggled to score so far.
This one could be a low scoring affair.
If it is perhaps the Braves squeak out a close one, but if Stanton can muster some offense then perhaps they will win.
It's hard saying what is going to happen for sure Friday night, but one thing is for sure...Stanton has to be feeling optimistic about their chances.
Battle Creek lost a lot of kids from last year due to graduation so the Mustangs have to rise and step up and take advantage of that.
Stanton has to feel as if it is their time, and must go out there and put a big dent in the scoreboard and come away with a huge win Friday night.

Good performance from Stanton on Saturday, but a couple of tough setbacks on Friday and Tuesday.
The Mustangs (1-2) take on Battle Creek (0-2) on the road Friday night.
The Bravettes lost 60-51 at Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family on Saturday.
Defense has been a struggling point for Battle Creek so far this year.
Stanton has had their issues on defense against strong, quick, and athletic teams as well.
The Bravettes to this point have been a little bit better offensively I would say.
The Mustangs have to go into this one thinking they can take it though.
Battle Creek lost some players from last year, but still have some key pieces on their team.
So the Bravettes might not be as strong as they have been the past few years, but they're still respectable.
Stanton can't care about any of that though, and has to go in there and play hard and play to win come Friday night.
The Mustangs need the same type of performance they got against the Tigers with multiple kids scoring and a defense that's suffocating.
If Stanton gets that same kind of effort Friday night then they could very well be victorious.
