Looks like Chaska's football team ran into Bloomington Jefferson at the wrong time.

The Jaguars shut out the Hawks in the second half to score a 37-14 Homecoming victory on Friday at Bloomington Stadium.

Chaska trailed 24-14 at the half, with a TD in each of the first two quarters.

Jefferson went 0-9 in 2006, was 2-7 last season, and started this year 0-3. But the Jaguars have turned it around, winning their past four games.

The Jaguars are 4-3 on the season, while the Hawks slipped to 1-6 overall.

Chaska’s cross country teams will go for Lake Conference glory today at Eagan, running in the conference championship meet.

The girls race starts at 4:05 p.m., with the boys race under way at 4:40 p.m. 

The Hawk boys finished third at the Meet of Champions on Saturday at Arrowwood Resort in Alexandria. Chaska finished with 117 points to finish behind Stillwater’s 105 and Moorhead’s 99.

Chaska's football team is coming off a close-but-not-a-victory Homecoming game last week, as Eastview pounded in a two-point conversion to win 22-21 in overtime.

The Hawks will have a chance to do the same to another Lake Conference foe.

Chaska travels to Bloomington Stadium tonight to cap off Jefferson's Homecoming Week.

It is the third Homecoming game in a row for Chaska, which fell 25-8 at Eagan two weeks ago.
