The Stanton Boys lost 71-57 at Twin River Tuesday night before falling 62-57 at home to Clarkson/Leigh Thursday night.

The Titans jumped out to a 14-6 lead after one, and won the 2nd quarter 16-13 to take a 30-19 lead into the locker room.

Twin River outscored the Mustangs 25-15 in the 3rd quarter to go up 55-34 at the end of three.

The Mustangs (5-15) round out the regular season at Tri County Northeast (11-9) next Friday night.

The Wolfpack won 66-61 at home over Omaha Nation on Saturday.

Stanton needs to play well in this one in order to win.

Tri County Northeast is a solid team and has quite a few weapons so it won't be easy.

Picking up a win to end the regular season would be big heading into Sub-Districts though.

The Mustangs could really use a win to snap their 4-game losing streak.

Stanton has to get riled up and go out there and give it all they got and their best shot.

The Stanton Girls won 58-35 at Twin River Tuesday night before falling 51-26 at home to Clarkson/Leigh Thursday night. The Mustangs then lost 46-38 at home to Norfolk Catholic Friday night.

The Mustangs (7-15) take on Madison (3-16) in the C2-6 Sub-District Play-In Game at Clarkson Monday night.

The Dragons lost 44-4 at home to Tekamah-Herman in Friday night's regular season finale.

Stanton beat Madison 47-23 at home in the regular season.

I look for the Mustangs to win and dominate once again on Monday.

For what it's worth Stanton should get another shot at Clarkson/Leigh on Tuesday.

Beating the Patriots on their home floor will be very tough, but the Mustangs would simply have to take a page out of Oakland-Craig's playbook.

Stanton has to find a winning formula come next week and see what they can do.

Monday night's game is scheduled to tip-off at 6:00 p.m. in Clarkson.
