The Stanton Football Team routed EMF 81-28 at home in the first round of playoffs Thursday night.

WOW!!!!!

The Mustangs (7-1) take on Arcadia/Loup City (6-3) on the road Friday night in the 2nd round of the Playoffs.

The Rebels beat Amherst 70-23 in the first round of the playoffs on the road Thursday night.

This figures to be an interesting and compelling game.

I think Stanton will be able to win this one though.

I feel the Mustangs' physicality and rushing attack will be too much for Arcadia/Loup City to handle.

Stanton is on a mission to make a deep playoff run so we'll see if the Mustangs can keep things going Friday night.

Stanton is doing some special things this season and has to keep things going and rolling Friday night.

It's a long road trip, but it will be a jolly ride home if the Mustangs win.

I'm sure Stanton doesn't care where they play a Playoff game, just as long as they win.

The Mustangs have flexed their muscles early on in the playoffs and throughout much of the season this year, and I look for Stanton to do more of that Friday night.

Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. in Loup City.
