I've been very impressed with this team lately. Stanton is starting to put things together and is playing winning Volleyball.

The Mustangs (8-4) take on Boone Central/Newman Grove (2-5) and Norfolk Catholic (6-2) at the Norfolk Catholic Triangular Thursday night.

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

The BC/NG match should be a sure win for Stanton, but Norfolk Catholic figures to be very tough and challenging.

The Mustangs can definitely win, but Stanton has their hands full with the Knights Thursday night.

Norfolk Catholic's two losses are to Wahoo and Bishop Neumann.

The Knights have swept GACC, Lutheran High Northeast, and have beaten the Trojans twice.

That's really saying something, but the Mustangs won't back down from or be afraid of Norfolk Catholic, that's for sure.

Stanton is used to winning so honestly if the Mustangs beat the Knights I won't be surprised quite frankly.

Both teams are playing great Volleyball, but Norfolk Catholic has done it all year long as opposed to Stanton, who has started coming on as of late.

The Mustangs have picked the right time to get hot though cause this is a big match for them.

It will be the last match of the night too so these two teams have to really get after one another.

Stanton has to take care of business against the Cardinals in the second match of the triangular, but I fully expect the Mustangs to do that.

As long as Stanton doesn't overlook Boone Central/Newman Grove they should be fine in that match.

The Mustangs have to come out and play their game and be poised.

Stanton can't be intimidated by Norfolk Catholic, and I don't think they will or should be.

The Mustangs need to come out and play a great match from the start, and take it to the Knights.

Stanton has to save their best for last so to speak, and bring it at the end against Norfolk Catholic.

The Mustangs have to play well and be sharp against the Cardinals prior to playing the Knights so they can set the stage for and play well against Norfolk Catholic.
