This figures to be an interesting match for the Jaguars. Howells-Dodge is just 3-10 in their last 13 matches while North Bend Central has won 6 out of their last 7. The Tigers certainly come in playing well at the moment. Howells-Dodge needs to play well to give themselves some confidence heading into the postseason. The Jaguars are capable of performing at a high level too, they just have to go out there and do it.
