The Jaguars doubled up Pender 18-9 in the first quarter. Howells-Dodge won the second quarter 17-9 to take a 35-18 lead into the locker room.

Head Coach Cole Fischer says it was a good win. ""I thought we were very efficient in our half court offense and got some really good looks. We played team basketball and a solid 4 quarters."
The Jaguars took care of business against the Pendragons as expected. It was a good win for Howells-Dodge.
The Jaguars (7-9) square off with Logan View/Scribner-Snyder (9-6) on the road Tuesday night.
The Raiders are coming off a 40-33 win at West Point-Beemer on Saturday.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder is a solid team, especially defensively.
Howells-Dodge will really have to work for good shots to score on this Raiders' defense.
Ben Moxness, Conner Gralheer, and Darnell Sims are the main scorers for Logan View/Scribner-Snyder. Those three really make this team go.
This should be a close, competitive game. I'm looking forward to listening to it while running the board on 107.9 the Bull, where the game can be heard.
It will be interesting to see who comes out on top. I think the game has all the makings of being a classic.
Polacek, Lund, Renter, Prusa, and others must have good games for the Jaguars to come away with the victory.
Howells-Dodge definitely has their work cut out for them, but I think the Jaguars are definitely capable of winning.
The Raiders are a good team, but they're beatable. I look for things to be tight between the two squads.
Once again you can catch the game on 107.9 the Bull. The game is set to begin after the girls game, which is scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m.
After losing to Tekamah-Herman Friday night, the Howells-Dodge Girls bounced back for a 65-64 home victory over Pender on Saturday.
The Jaguars doubled up Pender 14-7 in the first quarter. Howells-Dodge won the second quarter 17-16 to lead 31-23 at halftime.
Both teams scored 20 third quarter points, and the score after three was 51-43 in favor of the Jaguars.
The Pendragons outscored Howells-Dodge 21-14 in the fourth quarter.
Sam Brester finished with 16 points and 8 rebounds while Kalli Brester and Chelsea Bayer totaled 14 points apiece. Emily Ritzdorf added 10 points while Kelly Cech registered 7 points and 7 rebounds.
The Jaguars did a good job bouncing back following the difficult loss. It would of been real easy for Howells-Dodge to lay an egg and play uninspired.
The Jaguars (12-4) take on Logan View/Scribner-Snyder (3-12) on the road Tuesday night.
The Raiders lost 55-17 at West Point-Beemer on Saturday.
Logan View/Scribner-Snyder has really struggled to score this season, which is good news for Howells-Dodge.
I'm not suggesting the Jaguars take the Raiders lightly, because they shouldn't, but there's more room for error in this game than there would be against someone like West Point-Beemer.
With that said, Howells-Dodge wants to be sharp in this game.
The Jaguars don't want things to be close, and don't want to let Logan View/Scribner-Snyder hang around.
The longer the Raiders hang in there, and the longer the game is close, the better chance Logan View/Scribner-Snyder has of winning.
Howells-Dodge just assumes win big and go home with an easy victory.
I don't anticipate the Jaguars having a whole lot of trouble in this game, but if Howells-Dodge struggles offensively like they did against Tekamah-Herman, the game could be closer than some might think.
The Raiders have played good defense at times this year so that is what they hang their hat on.
Listen to Tuesday night's game on 107.9 the Bull. It's scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m. The boys game will follow.
