Stanton is playing Great Volleyball right now. The Mustangs appear to be in State Championship form already.
Stanton (15-1) hosts Tekamah-Herman (1-14) and Oakland-Craig (4-10) at their home Triangular Tuesday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Tigers won their first match of the season this past Tuesday night, downing Madison 3-1 on the road.
The Knights won 2-0 over Arlington, but lost 2-0 to GACC at their home Triangular Thursday night.
The Mustangs should beat both of these teams similar to the way they knocked off Pender and Wisner-Pilger.
As long as Stanton keeps playing the way they have been they should have no trouble winning both of these matches.
The Mustangs are still going to have to work for it though. You can bet Stanton will get Oakland-Craig and Tekamah-Herman's best shot.
The Mustangs have to be sharp and on point, and play like championship teams do and would.
Stanton has to respect both opponents, and try and take both of them out of their game.
The Mustangs have to continue to build their resume and sharpen their skills.
Stanton has some tough matches coming up at the end of the regular season so the Mustangs need to use these two matches as matches to continue to play great and show off their skills.
I don't know if Stanton can play any better than they have been.
The Mustangs flat out dominated both matches on Tuesday, I mean just dominated.
Stanton is a great team, and this could very well be one of the best teams in school history, if not the best.
The Mustangs have to remain humble and must keep their eye on the prize, and I fully expect Stanton to do that.
The Mustangs have already beaten the Tigers once, and I don't see that being an issue come Tuesday night either.
The Knights could pose more of a challenge given their talent, but I fully expect Stanton to be ready and well prepared for that match.
The Mustangs need these two matches to keep honing their skills and playing at a high level.
Stanton has to keep the ball rolling and continue their mastery of the Northeast Nebraska area Tuesday night.
Tuesday's matches are two the Mustangs should dominate and win easily, and I expect that to be the case.
Things get underway at 5:30 p.m. on the Bull.
