The Howells-Dodge Boys Basketball Team won 63-54 at Lutheran High Northeast in last Friday's regular season finale before defeating Elkhorn Valley 57-55 in overtime in the D1-3 Sub-District Semifinals from Norfolk Catholic Tuesday night. The Jaguars then lost 55-46 to Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family in Thursday night's Sub-District Final.
The Eagles led the Jaguars 15-13 after one. Howells-Dodge outscored LHNE 21-10 in the 2nd quarter to take a 34-25 lead into the locker room.
The Jaguars won the 3rd quarter 16-14 to extend their lead to 50-39 at the end of three.
The Eagles won the 4th quarter 15-13.
Howells-Dodge led the Falcons 18-17 after one. Elkhorn Valley won the 2nd quarter 13-9 to take a 30-27 lead into the locker room.
The Jaguars won the 3rd quarter 14-11 to tie the game at 41 at the end of three.
Both teams scored 10 points in the 4th quarter to send the game into OT tied at 51.
Howells-Dodge outlasted the Falcons 6-4 in the extra session.
The Bulldogs got out to a 17-14 lead at the end of one. The Jaguars outscored H/LHF 19-13 in the 2nd quarter to take a 33-30 lead into the locker room.
The Bulldogs outscored Howells-Dodge 12-2 in the 3rd quarter to reclaim the lead at 42-35 at the end of three.
Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family won the 4th quarter 13-11.
I thought the Jaguars really played strong basketball at the end of the season, winning 3 in a row before losing to the Bulldogs to end the year.
Howells-Dodge ends the season at 14-11.
I think the Jaguars got things going a little too late at the end of the season.
I think Howells-Dodge is a team that would be good enough to be at State this year had they gotten into a Sub-State Final.
The Jaguars just didn't do enough in the regular season to get a wildcard for Sub-State.
I'm sure Howells-Dodge would like to still be playing right now, but the Jaguars still did some nice things this year.
Howells-Dodge says goodbye to Darrin Pokorny, Charlie Dvorak, Luke Rocheford, Austin Steffensmeier, and Logan Nelson.
Five very good and solid seniors that will be missed without a doubt.
Key returners for next year's team include Jacob Tomcak, Brittin Sindelar, RJ Bayer, Blake Sindelar, Lance Brester, and Aandy Dominguez.
So lots of good returners for the Jaguars next season.
I think Howells-Dodge has a chance to be good next year.
I feel the Jaguars were pretty good this year, but could be even better next year.
I would just say becoming more consistent throughout the course of the entire season is going to be key for Howells-Dodge next year.
The Jaguars have to work really hard this offseason, and get after it in the gym and in the weightroom.
Howells-Dodge has to take part in as many open gyms, summer camps, team camps, summer leagues, and other team activities as possible.
These kids have to work extremely hard between now and the start of next season.
The Jaguars have to give maximum effort and go hard at it 110% during the course of the offseason.
Howells-Dodge has to work to get bigger, faster, and stronger, and has to dedicate themselves to the gym and weightroom this offserason.
The Howells-Dodge Girls lost 41-39 to Clarkson/Leigh in the C2-5 Sub-District Final from Norfolk Catholic last Thursday night.
The Jaguars led 12-10 after one before the Patriots won the 2nd quarter 15-11 to take a 25-23 lead into the locker room.
Howells-Dodge won the 3rd quarter 7-6 to make it a 31-30 game at the end of three.
Clarkson/Leigh won the 4th quarter 10-9.
Jaedyn Ratzlaff had 13 points while Cassie Pieper notched 8. Janessa Schmidt added 9 rebounds.
The Jaguars nearly pulled it off.
Howells-Dodge ends their season at 9-14.
It was definitely a better second half of the season than the first part for the Jaguars.
I think what Howells-Dodge did in the second half of the season gives them momentum and is something they can build on heading into next year.
The Jaguars say goodbye to Grace Kreikemeier and Alyssa Coufal.
Two very valuable seniors that are going to be missed for sure.
Key returners include Pieper, Riley Pokorny, Schmidt, Brooklyn Macholan, Lilly Praest, Ratzlaff, and Sasha Perrin.
Lots of talent returns for Howells-Dodge next season.
Macholan was the team's leading scorer and rebounder this year with 192 points and 159 rebounds.
I look for her and Schmidt to be a real dynamic duo for the Jaguars next year.
I think Howells-Dodge has the pieces returning to get back to their old selves next year.
I look for the Jaguars to do some great and special things next season.
Howells-Dodge has to work extremely hard this offseason though.
The Jaguars have to wake up ready to work hard every single day.
Howells-Dodge has to put the time in the gym and weightroom that allows them to be successful.
The Jaguars have to work hard at their craft and improve their shooting and overall game.
The girls have to get faster and stronger as well.
I think next season has a chance to be a good one for Howells-Dodge.
I feel like the Jaguars have a shot to get back to their old form and do well and be a successful team.
It's going to take a lot of hard work and dedication on Howells-Dodge's part to be successful, but there's no doubt the Jaguars can do it and make it happen.
