The Mustangs (6-12) take on Wisner-Pilger (8-9) in the first round of the East Husker Conference Tournament at Pender Friday night.
The Gators lost 65-37 at North Bend Central Thursday night.
Wisner-Pilger beat Stanton 45-35 at home on December 20th.
So certainly should be another good game this time around I would think.
It’s the EHC Tournament, and anything can happen.
The Mustangs are playing well and with a lot of momentum right now so I’m curious to see what Stanton can do in this one.
Tip-off is set for 6:00 p.m. in Pender.
