PONIES WIN IF …

Stillwater bounced back with their biggest win of the season last Friday, but now gets back into the thick of things with a showdown with one of the other teams in the league's four-way tie for second place.

MUSTANGS WIN IF …

They continue to play well on defense. The Cretin game aside, the Mustangs have allowed just 13 points in their other three contests. The Ponies are a step up in competition, but Mounds View's defense is good enough to keep the team in the game regardless of the opponent.
