Solid wins and performance from the Jaguars.

Howells-Dodge (5-2) hosts the Howells-Dodge Tournament on Saturday.

The Jaguars take on Shelby/Rising City, Elgin Public/Pope John, and Elkhorn Valley.

The Falcons figure to be Howells-Dodge's toughest competition.

The Wolfpack will be tough too, and the Huskies will be no pushover so the Jaguars have to be ready to go from the get go against all three.

I think Howells-Dodge will do well seeing how well they played Tuesday night though.

I think the Jaguars have a good chance to win this tournament, and continue on the right track.

I look for Brester, Prusa, VanLengen, Coufal, and Kreikemeier to keep doing their thing and play well in this tournament.

I think it will be a very good tournament and good showing for Howells-Dodge.

I thought the Jaguars really played well Tuesday night, and I look for that to continue on Saturday.

Howells-Dodge should be well rested, prepared, and ready.

I think it's going to be a good day for the Green, Black, Silver, and White.

I feel it's going to be a day full of memories for the Jaguars.

Howells-Dodge faces some stiff competition, but it shouldn't be anything the Jaguars can't handle.

The Jaguars have to be ready to go though. Wins won't come easy for Howells-Dodge you wouldn't think.

Everyone has to be fresh, sharp, and ready to go.

The Jaguars have to be on point with their serves, passes, and hits.

Howells-Dodge has to block and serve receive well as well.

Limiting unforced errors will be key for the Jaguars also I feel.

Howells-Dodge has a tremendous opportunity in front of them, and has to take full advantage of their opportunities.

The Jaguars have to make the most of everything on Saturday and take home a championship.

I feel a tournament championship on Saturday could potentially lead to some more great play heading into the Clarkson/Leigh Tournament at the end of the month.
