Very nice start to the season for the Mustangs. Some quality wins, and only one close loss to a C-1 power in Neumann.
Stanton (5-1) takes part in the Boone Central Invite on Saturday.
The Mustangs played Ord, Columbus Lakeview, and the host Cardinals last season.
I think Stanton has a chance to go 3-0 in their matches again this year.
The Mustangs are a very good team, even better than last year I feel, and will be very difficult for anyone to beat.
Stanton will be well rested having had the entire week off so I expect nothing but great things and play from the Mustangs.
I look for Burtwhistle, Brandl, Waskowiak, and Espinoza to keep up their hot play offensively, and for Hartl and Brandl to continue their prowess defensively as well.
I think Stanton will click on all cylinders on Saturday and play great and fantastic matches.
Not much seems to be slowing down the Orange and Black this season, and I don't know if anyone can beat them on Saturday.
It should be a fun and exciting day of Volleyball for Stanton.
I don't see the Mustangs doing much losing if any at all.
Stanton has swept every match they've won this year, and I look for the Mustangs to make quick work of opponents on Saturday as well.
Stanton has to treat this Tournament as another opportunity to grow, improve, and get better.
Every time out is a chance and an opportunity to play great Volleyball, and so far the Mustangs have done that every time they've taken to the floor this season.
I look for that to be the case again on Saturday.
I look for Stanton to do well and be on top of their game.
The Mustangs have a stretch of matches they should win, and that includes this tournament.
Stanton has to wake up Saturday morning and be ready to be on top of their game.
The Mustangs have to be focused and ready to play. It has to be a business trip for Stanton so to speak.
The Mustangs are in the business of winning championships, and I look for Stanton to win another title on Saturday.
