All-Northwest football: Chi-Hi's Olson a consummate leader
Found: 4 Days 9 Hours 33 Minutes ago
Leader-Telegram - Mitch Olson grew up in Bloomer.But he received his football education on the Chippewa Falls football sidelines."I 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 Chi-Hi football. "It was nice to be able to play at such a special place."Olson, 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 all-conference defensive back as a junior and rarely left the field as a senior. He played an integral role in what one of the best two-year runs in Chippewa Falls history. The Cardinals went 17-3 in Olson's junior and senior years, including two victories over rival Menomonie and a perfect 14-0 mark in the Big Rivers Conference.That was more than enough to make Olson the 57th annual Leader-Telegram All-Northwest player of the year."He was 100 percent dedicated to the sport and Chi-Hi football," Cardinals coach Chuck Raykovich said. "His success was not an accident."He was a three-year varsity player at Chippewa Falls, playing on offense, defense and special teams after spending his childhood tagging along with his father, Bart, a Cardinals assistant.It 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 double-wing look. But even in the double-wing, Olson needed to be on his game. He had the responsibility to look over the defense and make adjustments if necessary."If 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 3.98 GPA.The best example of Olson's leadership came in a 28-27 overtime victory over Superior at Dorais Field. The Cardinals blew a 14-0 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 45."We 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 work."Olson was the firestarter. He wasn't perfect, but he made things happen. First it was a 9-yard screen pass to running back Michael Adams. Then it was a 14-yard strike to Cole Zwiefelhofer on third-and-10. A pass interference call on Superior gave the Cardinals another first down. Then Olson capped the drive with one of the gutsiest 7-yard runs you'll ever see a quarterback make. The Cardinals went on to win the game in overtime, with Olson throwing a touchdown pass."He 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 that."Olson was named co-offensive player of the year in the Big Rivers and was first-team all-Big Rivers at both quarterback and defensive back.The 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 Baldwin-Woodville.But Olson doesn't think about what could have been had he stayed in Bloomer."I 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 meet."There will be football in Olson's future. He's just not sure where. He's taken official visits to Minnesota-Moorhead and Winona State, both Division II schools. He's going to take three more.Most 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 quarterback."I 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 level."Olson's cousin, Brett Olson, was the All-Northwest player of the year in 2004. Brett Olson was a quarterback for Eau Claire Regis.Running backsOlson heads a backfield that include's Zack Pomputis of Owen-Withee, Levi Johnson of River Falls and Bucky Dixon of Hayward.Pomputis, runner-up for player of the year honors, moved up from last year's second team. He led the Blackhawks to a 7-3 record as the team's MVP.He carried 244 times for 1,824 yards and 24 touchdowns at a 7.5 average per carry. He also caught nine passes for 172 yards and totaled 166 points."He 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 said.He 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 three-year career, he totaled 4,728 yards and scored 56 touchdowns.Johnson averaged 7.7 yards a try against big school rivals, totaling 1,541 yards on 199 carries and scoring a total of 23 touchdowns.The 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 score."Johnson was selected co-offensive player of the year in the Big Rivers Conference and raised his two-year career total to more than 2,700 yards."He runs with incredible determination, great lateral movement, tremendous burst and great toughness," River Falls coach John Bennett said.Dixon was a literal workhorse for Hayward, which fashioned a 9-0 regular season and won the Heart O'North Conference.The senior rushed 339 times for 1,780 yards and 24 touchdowns at a 5.2 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 14-7 win over Ladysmith."A very durable running back." Barron coach Chad Buss said. "He helped carry Hayward to the conference championship."Dixon finished his career with 3,051 yards and 42 touchdowns.Wide receiversThe receivers are Jarrod Martell of Chippewa Falls McDonell and Joel Effertz of Ladysmith.Martell, a second-teamer a year ago, helped McDonell gain a spot in the playoffs with his offensive fireworks.He caught 47 passes for 775 yards and 13 touchdowns and totaled 16 touchdowns in all. The figures represented Marawood Conference highs."He's just a great athlete," McDonell coach Todd Brown said. "He goes after the ball. He's very athletic."He upped his two-year totals to 94 catches for 1,630 yards.Effertz drew rave notices from opponents for his all-around ability on both sides of the ball and as a kicker."He'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 38.9 yards on 52 punts.He's going to Arizona on a baseball scholarship.Offensive 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 Bloomer.Dahl excelled on both sides of the ball and was named the Marawood Conference lineman of the year.His path-clearing blocking in the offensive line opened the way for the passing of quarterback Andy Davis and the running of Alex Hiess."He 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 attack."He's the best lineman in our league," Baldwin-Woodville coach Dan Keefer said. Luke Johnson was River Falls' best lineman on both sides of the ball and acted as team captain and leader."He has incredible quickness, strength and explosiveness into the block," Bennett said.Krumrie has been an all-Dunn-St. Croix first-team selection on both sides of the ball for the past two seasons with his intimidating presence."He 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 anything or glory."Shriver was a 6-foot-2, 245-pound tackle that led the way for an offense that averaged 416 yards a game and had a high of 569 in a 42-24 loss to Hayward.PlacekickerThe placekicker is Collin Schindler of Chippewa Falls. He kicked 27 extra points and was named to the all-Big Rivers first team.Defensive linemenThe defensive line includes Hudson's Seth Stanchik, Chippewa Falls' James Rowley, Stanley-Boyd's Ryan Ericksen, Ladysmith's Zach Anderson and Shell Lake's Luke Gronning.Stanchik, the defensive player of the year in the Big Rivers, had nine sacks and returned his own blocked punt for a touchdown."He's a great athlete and Big Ten-caliber player," Menomonie coach Joe LaBuda said.Rowley moved up from last year's second team. He excelled as a defensive end and also played some tight end on offense, making his presence known on both sides of the ball."Big, physical presence," summed up the feelings of Hudson coach Adam Kowles.Ericksen led Stanley-Boyd to 10 wins, losing only twice to Colby, the Division 5 state champion. The second loss came in the quarterfinals of the playoffs.Through the regular season, he was credited with 32 solo and 15 assisted tackles, 17 sacks, 22 tackles for loss, an interception and two blocked punts."He was an excellent defensive end for three years," Altoona coach Gary Pszeniczny said.Anderson was a giant in the Lumberjacks defense. He was credited with 31 solo and 22 assisted tackles, 13 1/2 sacks and seven forced fumbles."He was the best defensive tackle in the conference the last two seasons," Buss said. "He was a man among boys in the Heart O'North."Anderson verbally committed to Northern Illinois.Gronning, a four-year player, was the horse in Shell Lake's march to a sixth-straight unbeaten Small Lakeland championship and an undefeated regular season. He stood out as a running back on offense and a rushing lineman on defense. LinebackersJake Frazier of Chetek, Steve Pax of Elmwood, Jake Keefer of Baldwin-Woodville and Austin Keys of Mondovi make up the linebacking corps.Frazier is a repeater from last year and his reputation preceded him throughout the Heart O'North. He was credited with 72 tackles, 100 assists, three sacks and eight fumbles caused or recovered. He also doubled as a fullback, running for 1,005 yards and 15 touchdowns."He was considered the hardest-hitting linebacker in the conference," Chetek coach Jay Dachel said. "He can run from sideline to sideline to make plays and come up with the big plays when we need a stop."Pax was a two-way standout for Elmwood and was voted the MVP of the South Lakeland Conference. He had 70 solo and 46 assisted tackles, 10 tackles for loss and three interceptions. Offensively, he ran up 1,486 total yards and scored 21 touchdowns."Steve is so versatile he can play any position on both sides of the ball," Elmwood coach Jerry Hannack said. "He makes everyone around him better."Keys made the all-Dunn-St. Croix team on both sides of the ball and was all over the field defensively."He may be the best athlete in the conference," Spring Valley coach Matt Ducklow said.Keefer was selected although he is only a sophomore. He was credited with 36 solo and 60 assisted tackles, four interceptions and four fumbles caused or recovered during regular-season play. He also was used liberally on offense, both as a receiver and running back."He was the best middle linebacker I saw all year," Amery coach Josh Gould said. "He can do it all. Team advanced to Level 4 playoffs largely because of him."Defensive backsThe defensive backs are Colby's Jordan Rahm and Thorp's Taylor Turrene.Rahm needs little introduction. He was the quarterback and all-around standout of the Division 5 state championship team that went through the Cloverbelt unbeaten. Besides passing for more than 1,000 yards and rushing for more than 400, he was all over the field on defense."He was the most dangerous player on the best team I saw all year," Regis coach Bryant Brenner said.Turrene led the Thorp defense with six interceptions. He was called "outstanding" by Thorp coach John Goodman and was touted by many Cloverwood coaches.PunterA repeater as punter is Chippewa Falls' versatile Cole Zwiefelhofer, who averaged more than 40 yards a punt for the Cardinals, who went 9-0 through the regular season with the help of field position provided by Zwiefelhofer.He also could have been selected as a receiver, where he unofficially caught 30 passes for 486 yards and nine touchdowns.Second teamThe second-team quarterback is Altoona's Brodie Johnson, who completed 117 of 197 passes for 1,738 yards and 18 touchdowns. He also ran for 416 yards and five more scores for the playoff team.The running backs are Adam Esselman of Colby, who scored three touchdowns in the state championship game; Bloomer's Jordan Koehler, who rushed for 1,595 yards and 19 touchdowns, and Chippewa Falls' Michael Adams, who averaged 7.0 yards rushing with 706 yards and stood out with his all-around play.The receivers are Baldwin-Woodville's Wade Schlichting, who had 38 catches for 610 yards and seven touchdowns in regular-season play, and Altoona's Josh Kriesel, 37 catches for 633 yards and eight scores.Linemen are Dustin Wozniak, Stanley-Boyd; Mike Kernstock, Plum City; Jordan Dewitz, Altoona; Jake Marten, Thorp and Spencer Corey, Baldwin-Woodville with Dustan Zach of Gilman the placekicker.The defensive team consists of linemen Kyle Ahrens, Menomonie; Dustin Winkel, Greenwood; Jesse Hoff, Gilman; Wade Sebold, Colby and Kyle Gillis, Plum City; linebackers Lucas Ruhl, Menomonie; Isaac Hunter, Regis; Luke Haarsma, Blair-Taylor and Nathan Samplawski, Stanley-Boyd; backs Tyler Bosshart, Spring Valley, and Matt Vold, Osseo-Fairchild and the punter is Eau Claire North's Weston Kirby, who had a 40.1 average on 37 punts....
