The Jaguars had 165 yards of total offense, including 143 through the air.

I have to admit I thought this game was going to be close. Hats off to Burwell for winning the way they did. I think a lack of a running game is what hurt the Jaguars in this one.

Howells-Dodge ends their year at 7-3.

Solid season for the Jaguars this year.

Howells-Dodge picked up nice wins over GACC twice and Clarkson/Leigh.

The other losses came to Cross County and Stanton, all teams still left in the playoffs.

Stat leaders for the Jaguars...Belina rushed for 1,351 yards and 21 touchdowns. Jestin Bayer led the way in tackles with 90 for the year. Dominguez added 82.

Howells-Dodge says goodbye to Tomcak and Landen Pieper.

Everyone else is back.

Key returners include Belina, Sindelar, Brittin Sindelar, Brester, Gavin Nelson, Aiden Meyer, R.J. Bayer, Jestin Bayer, Jacob Hegemann, and Brady Lund.

Lots of promise and potential for the Jaguars next season.

Tomcak and Pieper are two very solid seniors lost to graduation, but the majority of this team is back next year.

I'm sure Howells-Dodge is already looking ahead to 2021. It should be a great season for the Jaguars.
