Central High School football coach Mitch Olson joins to help preview the season, ahead of their opening game at home Thursday against Waunakee. 

The RiverHawks were in a five-way tie for the Mississippi Valley Conference last year and finished 5-5, losing to Holmen in the first round of the playoffs.

Olson takes over this season as head coach, after being defensive coordinator and with the program the past five years.

On the show, Olson talks about who’s gone and who’s back, plus some of the bylaw changes the WIAA made this year — including unlimited contact with players in the summer.

One of the players Olson singled out was Owen Skiles, who tore his ACL during those contact days this summer. Skiles, beyond football, is a student who got a perfect score on his ACT as he gets set to go to UW-Green Bay next season.
