VanLengen has really stepped up for this team as has Coufal.

Howells-Dodge needs to keep getting good contributions from them, and others have to get back into the act as well.

The Jaguars simply have to keep doing what they've been doing and they figure to be just fine.

Howells-Dodge is a good team, and I look for them to continue to do well throughout the rest of the season.
