Very good play from Stanton over the weekend. The Mustangs did what they needed to do to take care of business.

Stanton (8-1) takes on Norfolk Catholic (0-7) and Boone Central/Newman Grove (1-5) at their home Triangular Thursday night.

The Knights lost 3-0 at Hartington Cedar Catholic Tuesday night while the Cardinals fell 3-0 at home to Crofton Tuesday night.

The Mustangs should win big and dominate this Triangular.

Stanton shouldn't lose a set in improving to 10-1 on the season.

The Mustangs need to come out and dominate from start to finish, and I think they will.

These two matches figure to be sure wins for Stanton.

The Mustangs have a pretty light schedule as a whole for the next couple of weeks with the exception of Saturday so Stanton has to come out and dominate and fine tune things for the tougher matches that lie ahead.

The Mustangs have played good steady Volleyball so far this season, and I look for that to continue Thursday night.

Stanton isn't just winning, they are dominating in the stat column and on the scoreboard.

This isn't just a good Mustang squad, it's a great Stanton team.

The Mustangs want it badly, and I think that's very evident in their play so far this season.

Not much appears to be slowing Stanton down or preventing them from achieving their hopes, goals, and dreams.

The Mustangs just have to continue to stay the course and keep playing well throughout the course of the season.

These matches now are preparing and getting Stanton ready for the tough matches that lie ahead in the regular season, during the conference tournament, and in the postseason.

The Mustangs can't take these matches lightly or for granted, Stanton has to continue to treat them as matches to grow and improve, which seems like the attitude and approach the Mustangs have taken so far this season.

Stanton has to keep getting better and better because the Mustangs will no doubt need to be playing as well as possible when it counts.

Stanton has been on top of their game all season long so far it appears, and that's something that has to and I think will continue for the Mustangs this season.

Also, a big congratulations goes out to Brandl, who notched her 1,000th career kill against Bishop Neumann at the Columbus Scotus Invite on Saturday, September 1st.
