The Mustangs have to come out and play the way they did in the first half against Hartington-Newcastle.
Stanton has to try and jump on Oakland-Craig early and force the Knights to play from behind.
The Mustangs have to execute the game plan and play to the best of their ability.
Beating Oakland-Craig will be a very difficult and tall task, but Stanton has to play and expect to win as opposed to playing not to lose.

I think this game will be a relatively low scoring and defensive battle.
Stanton has to come out and play a good game and try and do some good things in this contest.
The Mustangs have to grow as players and people in this game, and leave it all out on the court.
Stanton has to get fired up and give it all they got and give Oakland-Craig their best shot.
