Howells-Dodge (6-7) battles Wisner-Pilger (5-5) on the road Friday night.
The Gators downed Bancroft-Rosalie 50-41 on the road Thursday night.
Wisner-Pilger isn't a bad team, but they aren't great. The Gators have sort of been inconsistent this year, kind of like Howells-Dodge.
This is a toss up game if you ask me. The Jaguars have a lot to gain by winning and even playing this game for that matter while the Gators have a lot to lose.
Wisner-Pilger is expected to win being the bigger school.
That sort of pressure isn't on Howells-Dodge.
There shouldn't be any pressure on the Jaguars at all. Howells-Dodge should be able to go out and play their game, and treat the contest like any other.
The Jaguars have a lot to gain by playing and beating the Gators.
Wisner-Pilger doesn't have a lot lot to gain by beating Howells-Dodge.
This is just another game for the Gators.
The Jaguars have a real chance to earn some extra power points, and continue their winning ways.
Howells-Dodge didn't play bad on Saturday, but the Jaguars need to play much better Friday night if they want to knock off Wisner-Pilger.

The Jaguars (9-3) take on Wisner-Pilger (7-4) on the road Friday night.
The Gators topped Bancroft-Rosalie 55-38 at home Thursday night.
This is going to be a difficult game for Howells-Dodge, in my opinion.
Wisner-Pilger has done some nice things this year, and has been a thorn in certain teams' backsides this season.
The Gators have played well this year, and perhaps have surprised some people.
The Jaguars should know all about Wisner-Pilger's exploits so far this season, and be ready to go four quarters with the Gators.
Howells-Dodge needs to play the way they did Saturday and Tuesday to pick up a win.
When the Jaguars play defense like that, they are going to be very difficult to beat.
It will be interesting to see if Howells-Dodge can maintain the high level of play they've had the last couple of ball games.
This Jaguars' team appears to be the real deal, and beating them is going to be quite difficult, in my opinion.
Howells-Dodge has Humphrey St. Francis on Saturday so neither game figures to be easy this weekend.
With that said, I think the Jaguars are very capable of winning both.
