The Chanhassen Storm played the Bloomington Jefferson Jaguars at TCO Stadium in Eagan as the final game of the Vikings Prep Spotlight Series on Tuesday October 18th. After a fast start by Jefferson, Chanhassen prevailed 35-21.

On paper Chanhassen looked to be the clear favorite coming into the game with a record of 6-1 and ranked No. 7 in the Star Tribune Metro rankings for class 5A, while Jefferson came into the game unranked with a record of 2-5.

It did not take long for Jefferson to set the tone for the game and give Chanhassen all they could handle.

Jefferson junior quarterback Tyson Schultz completed 16 of 28 pass attempts and three touchdowns, two of them to junior wide receiver Daniel King and one to junior wide receiver Daniel Freitag as the Jaguars went toe to toe with the Storm through three quarters with the score tied 21-21.

Chanhassen senior quarter back Grant Muffenbier completed seven of 14 pass attempts and two touchdowns, both to junior wide receiver Josh Och.

Impressive sophomore running back Maxwell Woods of the Storm proved to be too much for the Jaguars as he rushed for 183 yards on 24 carries and three touchdowns, including the eventual game-winner from two yards out with 11:05 left in the 4th quarter to break the 21-21 tie.
