The Patriots defeated the Jaguars 25-17, 30-28, 25-17.
Grace Baumert led Howells-Dodge with a double-double, recording 14 kills and 12 digs. Ellie Baumert had 19 set assists and 8 digs, and Jayda Bazata had 11 digs. Riley Pokorny added 8.
The year came to a close at 25-5 for the Jaguars.
Great season for Howells-Dodge. Anytime you make State it is a special year.
The Jaguars picked up big wins over Hartington-Newscastle, Pender three times, Elgin Public/Pope John, BRLD, Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family, Wisner-Pilger, North Bend Central, West Point-Beemer, GACC, and South Loup.
Notable team accomplishments this year include winning the East Husker Conference Tournament, Sub-Districts, and a District Final.
A great season with so much potential for even more growth in the future for this team, in my opinion.
Grace Baumert had a team leading 432 kills and 57 Ace Serves on the season. Ellie Baumert led the way with 695 assists.
Both these girls are over 6 foot and figure to be a major force for the Jaguars again next year.
Howells-Dodge loses Cassie Pieper, Logan Fiala, Pokorny, Bazata, Janessa Schmidt, Audrey Coufal, and Lexie Brester to graduation.
Key returners include Grace and Ellie Baumert, Blair Fiala, Brooklyn Macholan, Carly Bayer, and Natalie Pieper.
So a lot of talent lost to graduation, but a lot of talent back for the Jaguars as well.
I simply expect Howells-Dodge to reload next year.
Hopefully the pandemic is over by the start of next year and things are back to normal.
And hopefully the Jaguars can get a good chunk of their offseason in pandemic free.
