The Mustangs have continued to play great and lights out Volleyball. I'm sure Stanton would like to have the Hartington Cedar Catholic match back though.
The Mustangs (13-2) take on Oakland-Craig (1-10) and Tekamah-Herman (10-5) at the Tekamah-Herman Tournament Tuesday night.
The Knights lost 2-0 to Arlington and GACC at the GACC Triangular Thursday night while the Tigers swept Madison 3-0 at home Tuesday night.
As long as Stanton is prepared and ready to play they should win both matches.
The Mustangs have to finish both teams off though, and not let either team comeback like they did against the Trojans.
Stanton responded very well Tuesday night, and needs to play that way again this coming Tuesday.
The Mustangs were dominant and smashed, and that's exactly what Stanton needs to do again come Tuesday night.
Burtwhistle, Brandl, and Heppner need to have light out performances for the Mustangs, and Hartl needs to continue to perform well defensively. Burtwhistle and Espinoza have proven to be a great one two punch so far this year.
Stanton is as good as they come, and is a very tough team physically and mentally, in my opinion.
You can bet the Mustangs will be focused and ready to go Tuesday night. It should be another great night of Volleyball for Stanton.
The Mustangs need to have good days of practice leading up to the matches, and must be ready to sweep both teams.
I would be awfully surprised if Stanton didn't sweep both Oakland-Craig and Tekamah-Herman.
These are big matches with them being conference contests so the Mustangs have to come out and take care of business.
I look for Stanton to play with a business like attitude Tuesday night and not let any crowd noise or antics get to them at all.
This is a veteran and experienced team, and I expect the Mustangs to come out and handle things with great poise Tuesday night.
Stanton shouldn't have any issues taking care of business against both squads.
