Stanton notches victory over Howells-Dodge











The Stanton Volleyball Team topped Howells-Dodge 3-1 at home Tuesday night.

The Mustangs rolled in sets one and two, winning set one 25-12, and set two 25-7. The Jaguars won set three 25-22 before Stanton grabbed set four 25-19.

Jessie Brandl registered 18 kills and 7 digs while Bree Burtwhistle posted 15 kills, 7 digs and 23 set assists. Hannah Heppner added 14 kills with Jaiden Hartl totaling 10 digs. Makenna Espinoza dished out 31 set assists.

Stanton played excellent Volleyball, especially in the first two sets, in my opinion.

The Mustangs (17-2) take on Scribner-Snyder (8-7) and West Point-Beemer (9-8) at the West Point-Beemer Triangular Tuesday night.

The Cadets lost 2-0 to DC West, but beat Oakland-Craig 2-0 at the Oakland-Craig Triangular Tuesday night while the Trojans lost 3-1 at Mead Thursday night.

Stanton shouldn't have any issues winning both matches I wouldn't think.

This should be a good tune up for the Mustangs for the East Husker Conference Tournament.

Stanton still needs to be sharp and on top of their game on Tuesday though. The last thing the Mustangs can afford to do is play sloppy.

Stanton has to come out and start fast, and do their thing.

The Mustangs have to go all out, and play well from start to finish.

Stanton must have a business like attitude, and be focused on the task at hand.

The Mustangs have to play as well as possible knowing they could potentially play North Bend Central in the East Husker Conference Tournament.

Stanton has to be as sharp as they can and must play as well as possible Tuesday night to gear up for the Conference Tournament.

The Tigers are mighty, and if the Mustangs are to have something to say about who wins the East Husker Conference Tournament, they need to play well Tuesday night.

With that said, I fully expect Stanton to turn in two great performances against the Cadets and Trojans.

Both of those teams are respectable, but not quite at the the same level as the Mustangs I would say.

That's not to say one of those teams can't take a set from Stanton, but to actually beat the Mustangs is asking a lot.

There aren't many teams that can hang with, compete against, and beat Stanton, and so the Mustangs have to keep pressing forward with their eye on the prize.

Stanton has to keep getting better and building for the Conference Tournament, end of the regular season, and postseason because I have a feeling the Mustangs will have a lot to say about things before the season is over.

I look for Stanton to be very dominant Tuesday night. It should be a great night of Volleyball for the Orange, Black, and White.
