Stanton (2-13) takes on Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family (7-7) in the first round of the East Husker Conference Tournament at Bancroft-Rosalie Saturday night.
The Bulldogs lost 47-44 at home to Oakland-Craig Tuesday night.
H/LHF beat Stanton 66-30 at home earlier this season.
The Mustangs have an uphill battle on their hands in this one that’s for sure.
Stanton has to step up and play well and give a great effort on Saturday though.
Even if the Mustangs can’t beat the Bulldogs I feel like Stanton can pick up a win in the Consolation Round.
The Mustangs can win at least a couple more games before season’s end so we’ll see what happens here the rest of the season.
Saturday’s game will tip-off at 6:00 p.m.
