SYNOPSIS:

The Mustangs possess a potent roster with a big-time impact player on both sides of the ball in Sean Felts.

Surrounding the big fella are a couple of capable scorers in Drake Carroll (10.9 PPG) and McKay Lindquist (8.2 PPG).

Crimson Cliffs has played 7 games this season within 5 points, 4 of which have been 1-point games.

This is experience that can serve them well when the action tightens up in the postseason.

With a 1-point differential between points scored and points allowed, the Mustangs are no stranger to high pressure situations, making them one of the more intriguing teams come round one.
