EAGAN, Minnesota - EAGAN, Minnesota – In front of a large homecoming crowd, the Eagan Wildcats defeated the Chaska Hawks by a score of 25- 8 Friday night. The Wildcats dominated the 1st half and used a ball control offense to maintain control until the end. They were led by sophomore quarterback Jameson Parsons who finished the game 14 of 22 for 197 yards and 2 scores. He also ran for a touchdown.

Eagan got on the board first when Greg Seely hit a 29 yard field goal in the 1st quarter. They extended the lead when Parsons ran for his touchdown later in the quarter. Eagan was able to convert a 2-point conversion and led 11-0 at the end of one quarter.
