 Just one game in and the Mustangs already are showing improvement on the court, according to Stanton coach Greg Wegner. After a tight first half, the Mustangs stumbled in the second half Thursday as they opened the girls basketball season on the road in Dodge. The Mustangs dropped a 64-32 decision to Howells-Dodge after hanging with the Jaguars 31-22 in the first half. “I thought we came out and played well in the first half,” Wegner said after the game. “We did a lot of good things in that first half, and I am impressed with how they played. I see a lot of improvement from last year.” View more photos from the game here.  Sylvia Cunningham hit double figures with 10 points to lead the Mustangs. Jaedyn Ratzlaff of Howells-Dodge dropped in 14 for the Jaguars. “We posted up better than we have in the past and had some good looks down low,” Wegner said. “Overall, I saw improvement. We just need to be more consistent in the second half. We can’t let halftime come out and bite us in the tail.” The Mustangs (0-1) will open at home on Saturday afternoon against Tekamah-Herman (1-0).
