The Howells-Dodge Jaguars are off to a 5-0 start as they went 3-0 at the Winside Tournament over the weekend and downed Scribner-Snyder and Cedar Bluffs at their home triangular on Tuesday.

The Jaguars have played superb volleyball so far this season. Howells-Dodge has played with the heart of a champion and appears to be primed and ready to make another run at state.
The Jaguars (5-0) host their own tournament on Saturday.
Howells-Dodge starts off with Elkhorn Valley (3-1).
The Falcons swept Niobrara-Verdigre 3-0 Thursday night.
Elkhorn Valley is a good team, but I give the Jaguars the advantage with it being on one of their home floors.
Howells-Dodge is an outstanding, tough volleyball team, and I look for the Jaguars to win this tournament.
Howells-Dodge has a lot of talent and gets the most out of themselves, and that's a combination that equals success.
The Jaguars will no doubt be challenged in this tournament and could face some adversity, but it shouldn't be anything Howells-Dodge isn't already used to.
The Jaguars are going to be tough for anyone to beat, including the Falcons, so teams better look out.
Howells-Dodge has to put fear in their opponents. The intimidation factor could go a long ways in helping the Jaguars pick up some easy wins not only in this tournament, but in other matches later on in the season.
Howells-Dodge knows they have to play really well being they're in C-2 and in a really difficult sub district, but this team knows how to win.
The Jaguars have been there and done that before so it should be another successful tournament for Howells-Dodge.
The Jaguars are in the business of winning championships, and a tournament win this weekend would be another notch in the belt for Howells-Dodge.
