Howells-Dodge put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. Their defense stepped up to hand the Osceola Bulldogs a 58-0 shutout. Considering the Jaguars have won five contests by more than 23 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Howells-Dodge's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Hunter Luther, who rushed for 174 yards and three TDs while picking up 9.2 yards per carry, and also caught one score. Luther is crushing it when it comes to rushing touchdowns: he's punched in at least two every time he's taken the field this season. Another rusher making a difference was Andrew Brester, who rushed for 129 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only six carries.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Howells-Dodge was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 389 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 169 rushing yards in ten consecutive games dating back to last season.

Another reason for the win was Howells-Dodge's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. Leading the way was Nathan Tomcak with two.

Howells-Dodge's victory bumped their record up to 7-0. As for Osceola, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 3-4.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Howells-Dodge will welcome Archangels Catholic at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Jaguars will need to watch out since the Defenders have now posted at least 31 points every time they've taken the field this season. As for Osceola, they will look to defend their home field on Friday against Nebraska Christian at 7:00 p.m. The Bulldogs will be up against the Eagles' rather soft defense (which has allowed 43.14 points per matchup), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
