The Jaguars had 276 yards of total offense, including 254 on the ground. The defense gave up 197 yards of total offense, including 121 rushing.
Good win for Howells-Dodge. The Jaguars started the game off slow, but really turned things on in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.
Howells-Dodge (8-0) rematches with Clarkson/Leigh (3-5) in the 1st round of the playoffs in Howells Thursday night.
The Patriots are a tough team, and can't be counted out of any contest.
The Jaguars definitely can't afford to overlook or look past Clarkson/Leigh. The Patriots should have Howells-Dodge's full attention.
With that said, the Jaguars could potentially rematch with Nebraska City Lourdes in the 2nd round of the playoffs, or perhaps travel to Neligh to take on Neligh-Oakdale next round.
But again, I must stress the importance of not taking Clarkson/Leigh lightly.
If Howells-Dodge isn't focused on the Patriots then they could be in for some real trouble.
Howells-Dodge simply has to come out and play a complete, four quarter game.
The Howells teams of the past would roll teams from start to finish on their way to all those state titles.
And Howells-Dodge has done that a lot this year.
It's just something the Jaguars need to do throughout these playoffs if possible.
I really think that if Howells-Dodge plays up to their full potential in the playoffs they have a chance to make the state championship game in Lincoln and win it.
Creighton, GACC and maybe East Butler could have something to say about that before things are all said and done, but I think the Jaguars have as good a chance as anyone to go all the way.
It would be real fitting for Howells-Dodge to win it all this year too.
The Jaguars' quest for a state championship starts with Clarkson/Leigh Thursday night.
Howells-Dodge has to come out and play smashmouth football from start to finish against the Patriots, and run the ball the way they did last week.
The one thing I will say is the Howells and Dodge teams of old used to run the ball with a lot of authority and purpose, and Horejsi did just that against Clarkson/Leigh.
I think he will need to have a big game again for the Jaguars to win comfortably.
It should be an exciting game and an electric atmosphere.
Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m.
