Howells-Dodge Boys blowout Tekamah-Herman and Pender; Girls split

 














The Howells-Dodge Boys won 66-34 at home over Tekamah-Herman Friday night in action aired on 107.9 the Bull before downing Pender 59-31 on the road on Saturday.


Howells-Dodge came out of the gates strong against the Tigers, and led 4-0 and 13-6 late in the 1st quarter before leading 15-6 at the end of one.


The Jaguars outscored Tekamah-Herman 18-11 in the 2nd quarter to take a 33-17 lead into the locker room.


Howells-Dodge won the 3rd quarter 13-8 to increase their advantage to 46-25 at the end of three.


The Jaguars outscored the Tigers 20-9 in the 4th quarter..


RJ Bayer had 16 points to lead all scorers while Blake Sindelar and Lance Brester were also in double figures with 14 apiece. Aandy Dominguez chipped in 8.




The Jaguars went up 12-11 at the end of one on the Pendragons before winning the 2nd quarter 8-7 to take a 20-18 lead into the locker room.


Howells-Dodge outscored Pender 21-4 in the 3rd quarter to extend their lead to 41-22 at the end of three.


The Jaguars doubled up the Pendragons 18-9 in the 4th quarter.


Two dominant wins for Howells-Dodge, who has now won 11 in a row.


The Jaguars (12-4) host Battle Creek (8-7) Thursday night.


The Braves lost 64-27 at Pierce on Saturday.


Battle Creek had won 3 in a row prior to that, however.


But the Braves have been inconsistent while Howells-Dodge has been on a consistent terror the past 11 ball games.


I think the Jaguars' consistency and the fact they are at home will be the difference in this one.


Howells-Dodge can't come out sluggish and get off to a slow start the way they did against Pender though.


The Jaguars have to play a complete four quarter game like they did Friday night against Tekamah-Herman.


As long as Howells-Dodge does that they should prevail in this one I would think.






















The Howells-Dodge Girls won 53-37 at home over Tekamah-Herman Friday night in action aired on 107.9 the Bull before falling 54-38 at Pender on Saturday.


On Friday, the Tigers went up 2-0 before Howells-Dodge went up 12-8 at the end of the 1st quarter.


Tekamah-Herman hung tough in the 2nd quarter, winning it 14-13 to make it a 25-22 game at halftime.


The Tigers tied things up at 25 early in the 3rd quarter before the Jaguars went on an 11-2 run to push the lead up to 36-27.


Tekamah-Herman once again battled back, going on a 7-0 run to close within 2 at 36-34.


Howells-Dodge led 38-34 after three and then pulled away in the 4th quarter, outscoring the Tigers 15-3 in the period.


Janessa Schmidt had a game-high 19 points for Howells-Dodge while Abbey Pieper chipped in 9. 




The Pendragons went up 20-8 at the end of the 1st quarter. The Jaguars won the 2nd quarter 16-11 to make it a 31-24 game at halftime.


Pender doubled up Howells-Dodge 16-8 in the 3rd quarter to up their advantage to 47-32 at the end of three.


The Pendragons won the 4th quarter 7-6.


Cassie Pieper led the way with 16 points while Schmidt and Jaedyn Ratzlaff notched 7 apiece.


 The 4th quarter was the difference in the Tekamah-Herman game.


The Jaguars (9-8) host Battle Creek (7-9) Thursday night.


The Bravettes upset Pierce 34-31 on the road Saturday.


Battle Creek is a very tough, battle tested team.


This should be a heck of a game that figures to go either way.


I could see Howells-Dodge winning or losing a close game in this one.


The Jaguars need to start faster than they did against the Tigers and Pendragons.


Howells-Dodge has to play a complete four quarter game from start to finish, and come through in the clutch.


The Jaguars need a 4th quarter performance like they got against Tekamah-Herman.


This one is so tough to call for sure, but I will say it should be a barn burner. I will leave it at that.
