The Jaguars had 346 yards of total offense, including 187 rushing.
This was a good, dominant win for Howells-Dodge. I think it's safe to say the Jaguars did what everyone expected them to.
In high school football on 107.9 The Bull Friday, it’s 0-5 Elgin Public/Pope John at 4-0 Howells-Dodge.
Head Coach Mike Speirs says team communication is always important. “The thing we always stress with our kids is just communication on both sides of the ball,” Speirs said. “If we’re talking to each other and everybody is on the same page, then we’re gonna be pretty tough to beat. And if we’re not, then we’re a very beatable team.”
Wolfpack head coach Randy Eisenhauer says the strong ground game of Howells-Dodge is concerning. “For us, we’re gonna have to stop their run game. They’re a very powerful team,” Eisenhauer said. “They love their sweeps right and left. So that’s something we’re really gonna have to work on. It’s what we’ve been working on in practice. It’ll be a tough match up for us.”
I look for the Jaguars to roll to a big win.
Howells-Dodge has to come out and play their best game still, but when things are all said and done, the Jaguars should come away with the W.
I think Howells-Dodge will finish the regular season undefeated, but I feel the Jaguars will be challenged in their last few regular season games after this one.
So what I'm getting at is Howells-Dodge has to be sharp Friday night and not take a chance of slipping up and losing a game.
The Jaguars have to play hard, smart, physical, and tough minded.
Howells-Dodge has to get up quickly and put Elgin Public/Pope John in the rearview mirror.
I think this game will be somewhat similar to the Omaha Nation game. I feel the Jaguars will roll to a big win, and continue to cement themselves as a top team in the state in D-1.
Howells-Dodge has to view every game as an opportunity to improve and grow, and it's important the Jaguars keep getting better if they want to have a chance at getting to Lincoln the last game of the season.
These last four regular season contests for Howells-Dodge are about more than just the regular season games themselves, in my opinion. The contests will have an affect on playoff positioning and seeding, and will dictate who the Jaguars see in the playoffs, and could impact how Howells-Dodge performs in the postseason as well.
Of course the Jaguars, like all teams, will probably raise their level of play come playoff time, but these next four games will help set the tone for the postseason for Howells-Dodge so to speak, I would say.
Kickoff is set for 7:00 in Howells, with pregame coverage beginning at 6:40. Listen live on 107.9 FM, online at www.kticradio.com, or on the free KTIC Radio app.
