awelch@joplinglobe.com Oswego High School football coach Andy Fewin and his players, even though they are 10-0, realize that tonight they can earn oodles of respect across Kansas. The task is daunting, however. Olpe, another 10-0 team, visits the Indians in the second round of the Kansas 2-1A playoffs with kickoff scheduled for 6 at Arrowhead Stadium. Olpe, which lost in the final last season, is ranked No. 2 behind defending champion Smith Center by the Wichita Eagle. “They are a very good team,” Fewin said of the Eagles. “We’re still trying to earn respect for our program. “They do a lot of things similar to us,” Fewin said. “They’re physical, hard-nosed, aggressive and rely on running the ball.” Olpe coach Chris Schmidt agreed with Fewin. “We also basically run the same defenses,” Schmidt said. “We both want to run the ball and naturally stop it. Both of us have done a good job doing just that. A defensive key is to make any team one-dimensional.” Olpe has allowed 24 points and posted five shutouts. Oswego has permitted just 26 points and logged seven shutouts. Olpe has scored 428 points — one win was a forfeit — and Oswego has 436. Schmidt, a graduate of Olpe and nearby Emporia State, is in his third year as head coach (30-5) after 15 as an assistant. Fewin singled out three opposing players as standouts from a 13-1 edition — wide receiver Bradley Argabright (Dad Michael was a teammate of Fewin’s brother, Broc, at Wichita State), quarterback Matt Redeker and tailback Linden Stueve. Stueve has rushed for 1,302 yards on 125 carries. Redeker has thrown for 698 yards on 29-for-53 accuracy. Argabright, who has 15 receptions for 363 yards, returned a kickoff for a touchdown last season against Smith Center. Redeker rushed for three touchdowns and threw for one and Argabright had three scores in the Eagles’ 42-6 opening playoff win against Chase County.
