Howells-Dodge (7-6) takes on Clarkson/Leigh (0-11) on the road Thursday night.
The Patriots lost 61-27 at GACC on Saturday.
This is a rivalry game, and anything can happen, so the Jaguars must be ready to go.
Howells-Dodge has to put Clarkson/Leigh away when they have the chance.
The Jaguars have been good at putting games away this year, but must play well for four quarters.
It takes a good four quarters to beat a team like BRLD, and Howells-Dodge is going to need to play well in every quarter to make sure they take care of business this time around against the Patriots, in my opinion.
The Jaguars could perhaps get away with only playing well for 2 or 3 quarters against Clarkson/Leigh, but don't want to do that for consistency purposes.
Howells-Dodge has to learn how to put teams away on a consistent basis.
The Jaguars had two really nice wins over the weekend, but would have loved to have gotten the game against the Wolverines.
It's a lesson learned though, and Howells-Dodge has a shot at redemption Thursday night.
The Jaguars also have a home game against Wisner-Pilger Friday night that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull so I'd say Howells-Dodge has chances to pick up two big wins this week.
The Jaguars have gotten better as the season has gone along and have gotten better, it's now simply a matter of getting on a winning streak and rolling.
Howells-Dodge has to continue to play well on defense, and be aggressive and attack offensively.
The Jaguars should look to get out and run, run, run Thursday and Friday nights.
Howells-Dodge definitely has what it takes to win both games this week, but it's going to take a tremendous effort on their part to get the job done.
The Jaguars can't take either team lightly or for granted, and must play superior basketball for 32 minutes.
If Howells-Dodge can do these things, they should have a good chance to win both nights.
The Howells-Dodge Girls won 61-34 at home over Humphrey St. Francis Friday night, beat Plainview 69-21 on the road Saturday, downed BRLD 63-47 at home Monday night, and won 45-28 at Lutheran High Northeast Tuesday night.

The Jaguars outlasted the Eagles 15-9 in the third quarter to go up 36-24 at the end of three.
Howells-Dodge won the fourth quarter 9-4.
I thought the Jaguars played really good basketball during this stretch.
Howells-Dodge certainly didn't play poorly.
The Jaguars (12-1) host Wisner-Pilger (5-7) Friday night.
The Gators lost 60-43 at home to Wayne Monday night.
Wisner-Pilger isn't a bad team, and has some girls who can play, but Howells-Dodge is simply on too big a roll right now to lose, in my opinion.
The Jaguars have responded well to the GACC loss, and have taken care of business exactly the way they needed to.
I thought Howells-Dodge could have beaten LHNE by more, but playing 4 games in 5 days you can certainly understand why that game was a little closer than expected.
The Jaguars should be able to rest some until Friday for Friday night's game against Wisner-Pilger and Saturday's game against Columbus Scotus.
Howells-Dodge needs to be at their best and on top of their game this weekend.
It's time for the Jaguars to go full blow, and go toe to toe with both opponents.
Howells-Dodge needs to play well in both games to win, especially on Saturday.
The Shamrocks have won 8 out of their last 9 since starting the season 0-2 so it should be a great game and battle on Saturday.
The Gators are no slouch though and should not be taken lightly.
The Jaguars must come to play both nights, and must turn in good performances in both games.
Howells-Dodge has to be focused, ready, determined, and on top of their game to come away with two W's this weekend.
Friday night's game will be aired on 107.9 the Bull with tip-off scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
It should be a fun game to listen to Friday night. The Jaguars are one of the top teams in our area, and I think Howells-Dodge will play well and flex their muscles.
If the Jaguars could find a way to win both games this weekend it would be huge.
I think the Scotus game will be a really good measuring stick as to how Howells-Dodge stacks up and compares to some of the other teams in C-1 and C-2.
