Heck of a win for Stanton.

The Mustangs (4-1) travel to Madison to take on the Dragons (0-6) Friday night.

Madison lost 72-22 at home to Clarkson/Leigh last week.

This should be a big and dominating performance and win for Stanton.

This is one of those games where the Mustangs need to build a big lead and rest starters for what could be a District Crown showdown with GACC next Friday.

Stanton has to be careful not to look past the Dragons though.

The Mustangs have to play with the same focus, drive, determination, and energy that they did against Clarkson/Leigh and Howells-Dodge.

Stanton can't alter their level or style of play just because they are playing Madison.

The Mustangs have to use this game as final preparation for the Bluejays next week.

It should be another dominant win for Stanton one way or another Friday night.
