Red Rock On Air

Pine City head football coach Jared Polzine has called junior Adam Olson “The Freak,” because of the crazy things he can do with the football, but not even a mad scientist could concoct the performance, Friday, of Pine City’s offensive leader.  Olson scored four touchdowns in the Dragons 26-14 win over Rush City.

Olson’s big night started on Pine City’s second play from scrimmage.  After the Dragons defense forced the Tigers to punt after a three-and-out, quarterback Nate Wendorf connected with Olson on an 88-yard slant.  Olson outran several Tigers for Pine City’s biggest play from scrimmage on the year.

Pine City scored on their first three positions.  Olson ran in a 40 yard touchdown on their second drive and punched one in from ten yards on a fourth down early in the second quarter.

Olson says the credit goes to the offensive line.

Pine City jumped out to a 20-0 lead, but the Tigers didn’t go away without a roar.  In the second quarter, senior quarterback Justin Bosman connected with wide receiver Jon Watts in the back of the end zone for a 22-yard touchdown pass.  After the half, the Tigers got a 56-yard touchdown run from Josh Marty to cut the Pine City lead to just six, 20-14.  But on the ensuing drive, Olson scampered 76 yards for his third rushing touchdown of the night.

Olson talks about his final touchdown.
