Big opportunity for Howells-Dodge in this one.
This is one the Jaguars need to get if they hope to make a push towards sub-districts.
Howells-Dodge has three very tough games left to end the season, and I think this is going to be make or break time for the Jaguars.
If Howells-Dodge can do well in these games and pick up a couple of wins then I think the Jaguars will give themselves the confidence and momentum necessary to do something in the postseason.
Howells-Dodge also has Wakefield on the road Friday night, and Lutheran High Northeast on the road the following Friday night so the Jaguars definitely have their work cut out for them to say the least.
Howells-Dodge is a respectable team and can hang with these teams though, in my opinion.
All three figure to be very tough with North Bend Central probably the most difficult, but the Jaguars have a lot of the week to get ready for the Tigers.
It's getting down to the nitty gritty and crunch time for Howells-Dodge.
Things are coming to a close for this senior class, and they have to decide how they want to go out.
Do the Jaguars want to lose these last few games and stumble into sub-districts, or do they want to win all or at least a couple of them and give themselves a shot to advance beyond sub-districts?
I'm sure Howells-Dodge wants to do very well, but they have to work hard and earn it to achieve their goals and make their dreams come true.
The Jaguars had a very strong showing Friday night, and need to build off of that.
Contesting shots, guarding the perimeter, and rebounding will be absolutely critical for Howells-Dodge if they are to have a chance at beating North Bend Central Thursday night, in my opinion.

Tough defeat for North Bend Central, who plays Tekamah-Herman Tuesday night before coming to Howells-Dodge.
North Bend Central has proven to be a very respectable team this year, and it the Jaguars definitely have their work cut out for them this time as well.
The Tigers really get out and ran the floor well against Howells-Dodge in the 1st meeting, and that was a big difference in the game, in my opinion.
North Bend Central got the ball inside to their bigs, and knocked down open jump shots.
And that was without the services of Brooke Fredrickson, who sprained her ankle.
Fredrickson played against the Wolverines on Saturday though so I fully expect her to play at a high level for the Tigers on Thursday.
Howells-Dodge has to have girls step up and score.
Kulhanek and Prusa can only do so much.
The Jaguars need contributions from everyone, and must get out there and play tough, tenacious, and physical.
Howells-Dodge has to take charges and attack the basket aggressively.
The Jaguars have to sacrifice their bodies for the betterment of the team.
Howells-Dodge has to want it badly.
It would be a huge deal for Kulhanek and Katelyn Steffensmeier to go out winners in their final home game.
The Jaguars have to play with a little something extra, a little extra spark and pizzaz.
