Stanton loses big at Logan View

It was a tough night for the Stanton Football Team Friday night as the Mustangs lost 43-14 at Logan View.

The Raiders led 15-0 after one, and blanked the Mustangs 12-0 in the second quarter to take a 27-0 halftime lead.

Logan View shutout Stanton 10-0 in the third quarter to go up 37-0 after three.

The Mustangs outscored the Raiders 14-6 in the fourth quarter.

Kadyn Fernau had 65 yards rushing on 7 carries, including a score.

Gauge Erickson and Beau Wilke led the way with 9 tackles while Ashton Flood had 8. Sutton Pohlman and Ben Wilke totaled 7 apiece.

Stanton rolled up 131 yards of total offense, including 101 on the ground.

Difficult game for the Mustangs. Stanton has to put it behind them quickly with District play starting this week.

The Mustangs (2-2) host Lutheran High Northeast (3-1) Friday night.

The Eagles lost 55-40 at home to Lincoln Lutheran this past Friday night.

LHNE can score, and beat Cross County in their opener 65-20.

Stanton has to watch out for Wisner-Pilger transfer Korrell Koehlmoos, who had a big game last week from what I understand.

The Mustangs have to be better on offense and defense than they were against Logan View.

I must say I'm surprised Stanton has struggled on offense the way they have.

The Mustangs need to get things figured out in a hurry though because the schedule is brutal the rest of the way.

All of Stanton's remaining five games are very difficult.

The Mustangs could very well lose the rest of their games this season, but if there's a team that can find a way to rally and do something it's Stanton.

The Mustangs have to regroup, and gear up and get ready for this game with the Eagles.

LHNE got Stanton last year so I'm sure the Mustangs would love nothing more than to return the favor.

I'm not so sure Stanton is as good as they have been in the past though, and the Eagles appear to be stronger this year than they were last year.

Still though the game is in Stanton, and the Mustangs have to come out ready to defend their home field.

Stanton has to get ready to be physical and hit because this district is full of absolute juggernauts.

The Mustangs have to be ready to bring the sledge hammer because you can bet the Eagles will hit as hard as anyone Stanton has played so far this season.

Play time is over. The Mustangs have to man up, and buckle up their chin straps and be ready for a four quarter game Friday night.

Stanton has played two complete four quarter games, in my opinion, but the slow starts and non strong finishes will cost the Mustangs the rest of the way if they're not strong throughout.
