The Howells-Dodge Boys ended BRLD's 55-game winning streak, upsetting the Wolverines 59-56 at home in overtime Friday night in action aired on 107.9 the Bull before winning 66-35 at Clarkson/Leigh on Saturday.
The Jaguars had upset on their mind having handed BRLD their last loss in the 2018-2019 season, and history repeated itself Friday night.
The game was all BRLD early as the Wolverines led 13-8 at the end of the 1st quarter, and outscored Howells-Dodge 19-12 in the 2nd quarter to take a 32-20 lead into the locker room.
The Jaguars had a big 3rd quarter, outscoring BRLD 16-6 to make it a 38-36 game at the end of 3 with the Wolverines still leading.
Howells-Dodge won the 4th quarter 9-7 to tie the game at 45 at the end of regulation.
Both teams scored 8 points in the first overtime, and the game went into Double OT deadlocked at 53.
The Jaguars doubled up BRLD 6-3 in the second overtime.
Blake Sindelar poured in 40 points for Howells-Dodge, which led all scorers. RJ Bayer added a dozen while Lance Brester chipped in 7.
Howells-Dodge went up 20-12 on the Patriots at the end of one. The Jaguars won the 2nd quarter 11-6 to take a 31-18 lead into the locker room.
Howells-Dodge won the 3rd quarter 13-8 to extend their lead to 44-26 at the end of three.
The Jaguars outscored Clarkson/Leigh 22-9 in the 4th quarter.
Two great wins for Howells-Dodge.
The Jaguars (4-4) battle Cornerstone Christian (3-1) at the Mead Holiday Tournament on Monday.
The Cougars beat Elba 38-29 at home Friday night.
Cornerstone Christian has a good record, but they haven't faced the caliber of competition that Howells-Dodge has.
The other side of the bracket is toughest with Mead and Osceola.
The Raiders are 3-1 and the Bulldogs are 6-0.
With that said, Howells-Dodge can definitely win this tournament if they play the way they have lately.
The Jaguars are playing their best basketball of the season right now, and come into this tournament with a lot of momentum.
We'll see how much the five-day moratorium slows Howells-Dodge down if it does at all.
I kind of think the moratorium comes at an inopportune time for the Jaguars, but I could see Howells-Dodge simply picking up where left off last week.
Hopefully that's the case anyways.
Game time is set for 2:30 p.m.
The Howells-Dodge Girls lost 58-42 at home to BRLD Friday night in action aired on 107.9 the Bull before losing 54-52 at Clarkson/Leigh on Saturday.

Nice bounce back effort by Howells-Dodge on Saturday.

Howells-Dodge takes part in the Mead Holiday Tournament on Monday and Tuesday of next week.
First up for the Jaguars is Cornerstone Christian (3-1).
The Cougars beat Elba 45-32 at home Friday night.
Mead beat Cornerstone Christian 44-23 earlier this season.
The other team on the other side is Osceola.
I think Howells-Dodge will play the Raiders for the Championship.
And if that matchup happens, I think the Jaguars have a legit shot to win this Holiday Tournament.
Howells-Dodge had a couple of tough games last week, but has to be encouraged by the way they played on Saturday.
I look for the five-day moratorium to freshen up and rejuvenate the Jaguars.
I look for Howells-Dodge to bounce back in a big way next week.
I really feel as if the Jaguars have a good chance to get back to .500 heading into the New Year if they play the way they did against the Patriots.
Monday's game is slated to start at 1:00 p.m.
