http://www.axtora.com/homesites/us/wisconsin/st-croix-falls/content/80a5f67b4d5552392eed0261977f9847.html Mitch Olson grew up in BloomerBut he received his football education on the Chippewa Falls football sidelinesI was always a Chippewa kid said Olson who started attending Chippewa Falls schools in eighth grade I was on the sidelines as a ball boy ever since first grade Always grew up around ChiHi football It was nice to be able to play at such a special placeOlson whose father Bart is a Chippewa Falls assistant did more than just wear a Redbirds jersey He was on the varsity as a sophomore was an allconference defensive back as a junior and rarely left the field as a senior He played an integral role in what one of the best twoyear runs in Chippewa Falls history The Cardinals went 173 in Olson's junior and senior years including two victories over rival Menomonie and a perfect 140 mark in the Big Rivers ConferenceThat was more than enough to make Olson the 57th annual LeaderTelegram AllNorthwest player of the yearHe was 100 percent dedicated to the sport and ChiHi football Cardinals coach Chuck Raykovich said His success was not an accidentHe was a threeyear varsity player at Chippewa Falls playing on offense defense and special teams after spending his childhood tagging along with his father Bart a Cardinals assistantIt was at quarterback where Olson's true football smarts shone through Raykovich and offensive coordinator Ed Watkins added some new looks to the Cardinals' offense to take advantage of Olson's athleticism sometimes straying away from the traditional doublewing look But even in the doublewing Olson needed to be on his game He had the responsibility to look over the defense and make adjustments if necessaryIf they had Hudson's Seth Stanchik or Menomonie's Kyle Ahrens on one side you'd go up to the line and flip it said Olson who has a 398 GPAThe best example of Olson's leadership came in a 2827 overtime victory over Superior at Dorais Field The Cardinals blew a 140 lead and found themselves trailing by a touchdown with 4 minutes 24 seconds left The offense which gained just one first down since the middle of the second quarter took over at its own 45We never thought we were going to lose Olson said We came out and played hard and did what we needed to do Everyone knew it was time to go to workOlson was the firestarter He wasn't perfect but he made things happen First it was a 9yard screen pass to running back Michael Adams Then it was a 14yard strike to Cole Zwiefelhofer on thirdand10 A pass interference call on Superior gave the Cardinals another first down Then Olson capped the drive with one of the gutsiest 7yard runs you'll ever see a quarterback make The Cardinals went on to win the game in overtime with Olson throwing a touchdown passHe has credibility because of the time and effort he put into the program Raykovich said He wasn't just a shouter He was a doer It's easy to believe people like thatOlson was named cooffensive player of the year in the Big Rivers and was firstteam allBig Rivers at both quarterback and defensive backThe only thing missing from Olson's resume is playoff success The Cardinals were ousted in the first round the past two seasons Olson had to watch as his boyhood teammates from Bloomer made a run in the Division 4 playoffs beating St Croix Falls and Mondovi before falling to BaldwinWoodvilleBut Olson doesn't think about what could have been had he stayed in BloomerI never once regretted my decision Olson said So happy I went to Chippewa Falls Tons of great opportunities and lots of great people I had a chance to meetThere will be football in Olson's future He's just not sure where He's taken official visits to MinnesotaMoorhead and Winona State both Division II schools He's going to take three moreMost of the schools are looking at him to play defense but now that film from his senior year is starting to circulate some may want him at quarterbackI want to keep my options open Olson said I just love playing football Whatever side of the football that may be on I just want to play at the next levelOlson's cousin Brett Olson was the AllNorthwest player of the year in 2004 Brett Olson was a quarterback for Eau Claire RegisRunning backsOlson heads a backfield that include's Zack Pomputis of OwenWithee Levi Johnson of River Falls and Bucky Dixon of HaywardPomputis runnerup for player of the year honors moved up from last year's second team He led the Blackhawks to a 73 record as the team's MVPHe carried 244 times for 1824 yards and 24 touchdowns at a 75 average per carry He also caught nine passes for 172 yards and totaled 166 pointsHe is the complete running back speed quickness vision balance and a great knowledge of where his blocks are coming from to give him the cutback lanes he is looking for coach Terry Laube saidHe led northwest Wisconsin runners with the aid of five games of more than 200 yards including a high of 266 against Wisconsin Rapids Assumption In his final game he rushed for 117 yards against Division 6 state finalist Edgar In his threeyear career he totaled 4728 yards and scored 56 touchdownsJohnson averaged 77 yards a try against big school rivals totaling 1541 yards on 199 carries and scoring a total of 23 touchdownsThe senior rushed for a high of 247 yards against Eau Claire North scoring four touchdowns He scored a high of five touchdowns in just nine rushing attempts in a win over Rice Lake in which he played in only the first half Levi has speed toughness and the ability to stop and start on a dime North coach Dean Rosemeyer said He is always a threat to scoreJohnson was selected cooffensive player of the year in the Big Rivers Conference and raised his twoyear career total to more than 2700 yardsHe runs with incredible determination great lateral movement tremendous burst and great toughness River Falls coach John Bennett saidDixon was a literal workhorse for Hayward which fashioned a 90 regular season and won the Heart O'North ConferenceThe senior rushed 339 times for 1780 yards and 24 touchdowns at a 52 average per carry In those 339 carries Dixon fumbled just once He hit a high of 57 carries for 252 yards and scored both touchdowns in a key 147 win over LadysmithA very durable running back Barron coach Chad Buss said He helped carry Hayward to the conference championshipDixon finished his career with 3051 yards and 42 touchdownsWide receiversThe receivers are Jarrod Martell of Chippewa Falls McDonell and Joel Effertz of LadysmithMartell a secondteamer a year ago helped McDonell gain a spot in the playoffs with his offensive fireworksHe caught 47 passes for 775 yards and 13 touchdowns and totaled 16 touchdowns in all The figures represented Marawood Conference highsHe's just a great athlete McDonell coach Todd Brown said He goes after the ball He's very athleticHe upped his twoyear totals to 94 catches for 1630 yardsEffertz drew rave notices from opponents for his allaround ability on both sides of the ball and as a kickerHe's the best player in the whole area said Woody Keeble Ladysmith coach A tight end Effertz caught 32 balls for 547 yards and nine touchdowns for the Lumberjacks He also averaged 389 yards on 52 puntsHe's going to Arizona on a baseball scholarshipOffensive linemenThe interior line includes Nate Dahl of McDonell Bryan Witzmann of Somerset Luke Johnson of River Falls Joe Krumrie of Mondovi and Chris Shriver of BloomerDahl excelled on both sides of the ball and was named the Marawood Conference lineman of the yearHis pathclearing blocking in the offensive line opened the way for the passing of quarterback Andy Davis and the running of Alex HiessHe was the team leader who got everybody going Brown said He dominated both sides of the ball and could dominate a game when he wanted to Witzmann led the way in Somerset's unrelenting triple option attackHe's the best lineman in our league BaldwinWoodville coach Dan Keefer said Luke Johnson was River Falls' best lineman on both sides of the ball and acted as team captain and leaderHe has incredible quickness strength and explosiveness into the block Bennett saidKrumrie has been an allDunnSt Croix firstteam selection on both sides of the ball for the past two seasons with his intimidating presenceHe cares about his teammates and he has just one goal in his mind and that is for us to win on Friday nights Mondovi coach Fred Schmitz said He doesn't care if he gets credit for
