Stanton (1-4) travels to Wakefield to take on the Trojans (3-1) Friday night.
Wakefield won 78-39 at home over Randolph Tuesday night.
The Trojans are having a respectable season so far.
I think the Mustangs can keep things close in this one though.
Wakefield had close games with Pender and Omaha Nation before the lopsided win over the Cardinals.
Stanton doesn't figure to have an easy time with the Trojans, but I think the Mustangs can compete and hold their own.
Stanton played well defensively against Battle Creek, and I think that could very well be the case once again Friday night against Wakefield.
I think what's preventing the Mustangs from winning some of these games is their offense.
Stanton has been held to 40 points or less in each of their losses.
The Mustangs put up 67 against Tekamah-Herman so if Stanton could do that again and find a way to be consistent it could make all the difference.

A couple of tough losses for the Mustangs.
Stanton (1-4) travels to Wakefield to battle the Trojans (3-1) Friday night.
Wakefield won 64-26 at home over Randolph Tuesday night.
The Trojans have looked very good this year, their lone loss being a one-pointer to Pender.
The Mustangs have to step up their game if they want to give Wakefield a run for their money.
Stanton really struggled on both ends of the floor on Friday and Tuesday.
The Mustangs can definitely correct things and bounce back in a big way though.
Stanton just has to keep working hard and must continue to trust the process.
The Mustangs have to play with tons of intensity and passion, and give the Trojans all they got and then some.
Stanton has to make life as difficult as possible on Wakefield, and come out and play inspired basketball Friday night.
