Howells-Dodge routs Madison to end regular season















The Howells-Dodge Football Team routed Madison 64-20 on the road Friday night in the regular season finale.

The Jaguars led 22-14 after one, and shutout the Dragons 26-0 in the 2nd quarter to take a 48-14 lead into the locker room.

Howells-Dodge outscored Madison 16-6 in the 3rd quarter to go up 64-20 at the end of three.

Neither team scored in the 4th quarter.

Here is the scoring recap:

Third Quarter

Howells-Dodge 3 01:29 #26 Trevor Jedlicka runs for 12 yards. Touchdown! (Two point conversion run by #88 Mike Balsley good)
Madison 3 01:14 Kickoff by #2 Chad Young to the 21 yard line. #40 Elijah Delacruz return for 79 yards. Touchdown! (Two point conversion run by #40 Elijah Delacruz no good)

Horejsi had 202 yards rushing on 17 carries, and the four touchdowns. Pokorny had 53 yards rushing on 6 carries, including three touchdowns.

Schumacher had 9 tackles while Levi Belina notched 8. Pokorny, Carter Throener and Josh Brester each made 7.

Howells-Dodge racked up 414 yards of total offense, including 368 rushing.

Really good performance from the Jaguars, but imagine what they would be like with Kade Hegemann.

Howells-Dodge (6-2) hosts Cross County (4-4) in the first round of the playoffs Thursday night.

The Cougars lost 46-28 at Exeter-Milligan/Friend to end the regular season Friday night.

Cross County has picked up some nice wins, but so has Howells-Dodge.

If Kade Hegemann is back then look out for this Jaguar defense.

I think Howells-Dodge is good enough to beat the Cougars without Hegemann, but if they have him they may be able to make a playoff run.

The winner gets either GACC or Thayer Central in the second round of the playoffs, and I don't know if the Jaguars can beat the Bluejays without Hegemann, but you never know.

First things first though, the Jaguars have to worry about taking care of business against Cross County.

Horejsi needs to have a big game running the ball and Pokorny needs to have a huge game as well.

The Jaguars can definitely score, there's no doubt about that, but Howells-Dodge still figures to be challenged defensively for sure, especially if they don't have Hegemann.

One way or another the Jaguars should be able to beat the Cougars in a shootout, but after the first round I don't know.

Howells-Dodge needs Hegemann, but if they don't have him, other players need to step up defensively.

He makes a big difference, and the Jaguars aren't the same team without him.

It's playoff football in Howells, and it's Howells-Dodge's time to shine and do something.

The Jaguars made the State Semifinals last year so we'll see how far Howells-Dodge can make it this year.

The Jaguars definitely have their work cut out for them this postseason, but if Howells-Dodge has Hegemann they should be able to make a run.

If the Jaguars play the way they did defensively the last three quarters Friday night that might be good enough for a run also.

Thursday night's game is scheduled to kickoff at 7:00 p.m.
