The Oswego Indians and ninth-year head coach Matt Fowler are heading into Week 2 of the football season after opening the year with a dominant offensive performance.

 

Oswego is 1-0 after putting up 36 points by halftime against Marmaton Valley last Friday and building a 43-8 lead early in the third quarter before cruising to a 56-32 victory.

 

After Marmaton Valley had beaten Oswego in the season opener each of the previous three years, including a 44-25 win in 2025, Fowler and the Indians came out of the gates swinging. Fowler says his defense played a big role in the win, coming up with key stops when the Wildcats threatened in the red zone. 

 

Oswego went 6-2 in 2025 and won five straight during the middle stretch of the regular season, but Fowler says his team doesn’t focus too much on wins and losses and instead puts its attention on improving each week. 

 

Oswego will face St. Paul tonight, looking to build on last year’s 65-18 win over the Indians and start 2-0 for the first time since 2022.
