End of Season Synopsis:
Howells-Dodge ends their year at 18-7. It was a really good season for the Jaguars, but Howells-Dodge struggled in low scoring, defensive games. The Jaguars say goodbye to Dominguez, Closen, Kreikemeier, Rylan Nelson, and Nathan Hegemann. Key returners include Dane Meyer, Heard, Nathan Tomcak, and others. Howells-Dodge should have a solid team once again next year although some key pieces and talented players from this year’s team have been lost.
