Howells-Dodge goes 2-1 at own Tourney; sweeps Wakefield-Allen at home
The Howells-Dodge Volleyball Team went 2-1 at the Howells-Dodge Tourney on Saturday before winning 3-0 at home against Wakefield-Allen Tuesday night.
The Jaguars lost 2-0 to Elkhorn Valley, but beat Elgin Public/Pope John and Shelby/Rising City 2-0 at the Tournament.
The Falcons took set one 25-15 and set two 25-20.
Jessi Brester and Erin Prusa totaled 8 kills apiece while Taya VanLengen notched 11 digs. Alyssa Coufal recorded 22 set assists.
Howells-Dodge downed the Wolfpack 25-21 in set one, and 25-16 in set two.
Prusa had 7 kills while VanLengen compiled 13 digs. Coufal added 13 set assists.
The Jaguars downed the Huskies 25-15 in sets one and two.
VanLengen contributed 14 digs while Coufal tallied 13 set assists.
Howells-Dodge defeated the Trojans 25-23 in the first set, 25-14 in the second set, and 28-26 in the third set.
Brester finished with 12 kills while Prusa had 9. VanLengen contributed 22 digs while Tonya Brester chipped in 8. Coufal dished out 30 set assists.
Outside of the Elkhorn Valley match, very good, solid play for the Jaguars in these matches.
Howells-Dodge (8-3) takes on Logan View/Scribner-Snyder (7-4) on the road Thursday night.
The Raiders won 3-2 at home over Pender Tuesday night.
LVSS is a good and improved team this year, and could definitely give the Jaguars fits, all they want, all they can handle, and then some.
With that said, I think the Raiders could be pretty gassed having played 3 matches on Saturday and then a 5 setter on Tuesday.
We'll see what Logan View/Scribner-Snyder has left in the tank.
I think sweeping matches and playing less sets is an advantage for Howells-Dodge.
I feel the Jaguars have been the sharper, more crisp team between the two so far this season.
It should be a good match, but I feel Howells-Dodge has a good chance to win.
This is it for the week for the Jaguars so Howells-Dodge has to go out there and play well.
The Jaguars have to take control of the match early, and set the tone early on.
Howells-Dodge has to come out and smack the Raiders in the mouth, and make their presence known.
The Jaguars have to come out aggressive and fierce, and must take the fight to Logan View/Scribner-Snyder the entire match.
Howells-Dodge has to try and slow down Shaylin Daugherty given her height, and other players like Ashley Uhing and Emily Lewin as well.
The Jaguars have to have a good game plan, and must go out there and execute it to perfection.
Howells-Dodge has to take the bull by the horns, and go out there and play a great game Thursday night.
The Jaguars have to be aggressive hitting the ball and must hit their spots on the court to be successful.
The defense has to come up with tough digs and minimize mistakes if at all possible.
Howells-Dodge has to be on point and on top of their game come Thursday night.
This is a match the Jaguars have a great chance to win I feel if they do the things necessary to win.
