Stanton has continued to play excellent volleyball despite the loss to the Tigers. The loss to North Bend Central is understandable, and it's not a loss that should really bother the Mustangs.

Stanton (28-2) rounds out the regular season at Twin River (6-22) on Thursday.

These two teams met on September 5th at the Shamrock Invite with the Mustangs winning 2-0.

The Titans lost 3-0 at home to Wisner-Pilger last Tuesday, and are just 3-13 in their last 16 matches.

This is a match Stanton should not only win, but dominate.

I look for the Mustangs to put the North Bend Central loss behind them, and refocus themselves on Twin River.

I think Stanton will go in there and come away with a 3-0 victory.

It takes a lot to beat this team, and the Tigers figured out how. I'm sure the Mustangs will be hungry and anxious to get back out on the court given the fact they lost to North Bend Central.

It's good that Stanton has this match before sub districts. That way the Mustangs aren't heading into the postseason with almost a week to think about a loss.

Stanton can get back on the winning track and put the loss behind them.

There's absolutely no reason to think the Mustangs won't dominate on Thursday. The Titans have struggled all season long, and this should be a relatively easy win for Stanton.

The Mustangs have to be ready to play and can't dwell on the loss to the Tigers though. Stanton isn't used to losing a whole lot so it will be interesting to see how they bounce back.
