Howells-Dodge has really raised their level of play in the East Husker Conference Tournament. The Jaguars are making a strong case to be in the conference championship game.
Howells-Dodge (15-4) squares off with Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family (13-6) Thursday night in the conference tournament semifinals in West Point
The Bulldogs are sort of the surprise team in the tournament as they upset North Bend Central 45-36 in North Bend Monday night.
The Jaguars certainly have to be wary of what Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family has done, and be ready to play.
Howells-Dodge needs an effort like they got against Logan View/Scribner-Snyder the first time.
The Jaguars have to come out and take the bull by the horns so to speak. Howells-Dodge has to start much better than they did against Stanton.
It took the Jaguars a little while to get going against the Mustangs, and if Howells-Dodge is neck and neck with the Bulldogs the whole way, they could lose.
That's why the Jaguars need to have another huge quarter like they had against Logan View/Scribner-Snyder and Stanton.
One quarter could very well make the difference in this game also, but I could also see things being close the whole way and going down to the wire.
I think either team is capable of winning and getting the job done. It should be a really good game.
You can hear the game on 107.9 the Bull after the West Point-Beemer/Oakland-Craig game, which is set to start at 6:00 p.m.
