Tekamah-Herman has to build off that, and play even better on Friday against the Jaguars.
The Tigers are at home, and this is a big game for Tekamah-Herman.
The Tigers need to come out and play a good game Friday night.
Howells-Dodge has had all week to practice and prepare for Tekamah-Herman so that could be to their advantage.
The Tigers are coming off an encouraging game though so that could offset that advantage, in my opinion.
Tekamah-Herman has to come out and start strong and keep within striking distance throughout the game.
If the Tigers can keep things close they may give themselves a chance to win it in the end.
Tekamah-Herman just has to play the way they did against the Knights Tuesday night.
If the Tigers play like that again then they can definitely beat the Jaguars.
Howells-Dodge is a good team though, having made state last year so it won't be easy.
Tekamah-Herman has to come out and be ready to go full throttle for 32 minutes.
The Jaguars are very physical and defensive oriented, and the Tigers need to be tough mentally and physically themselves.
Tekamah-Herman has to crank up the intensity and play with a lot of fire, passion, pride, toughness, tenacity, and grit.
The Tigers have to outwork and outhustle Howells-Dodge.
If Tekamah-Herman does these things then they may give themselves a chance.

Fort Calhoun has played a tough schedule this year and so it's not totally surprising they won, but the loss still has to hurt.
It was a disappointing loss no doubt, but all the Tigers can do is forget about the loss and regroup.
I don't know if there's enough time for that to happen, but Tekamah-Herman needs to try and have a quick memory and forget about Thursday night's game.
The Tigers have to come out and play inspired and well against the Jaguars Friday night.
