  Marky Fitzgerald Austintown Fitch 2026 OLB 5’9 210 Jersey Number 8 Awards won or earned: ALL YSN TEAM Where should the state finals be?

They just changed it, so let’s see how this year goes. What are your goals for the 2025 season? Goals: 100+ tackles Win state All-state Big 22 1st team all-conference Do you feel that private schools have an advantage over public schools? Explain I don’t think it’s an advantage. If you can play ball, then you can play. What is the toughest offense to prepare for? Any team with great coaches is going to have great offensive schemes. I don’t really know; maybe a team with lots of movement. What offense do you like going against the most? I like going against heavy running teams. With this being your final high school football season, have you prepared different...

  Words from Leshawn I didn’t get playtime because I didn’t understand anything about the sport, and I had just come to the USA from Jamaica when my uncle decided to bring me to a football game and explain the rules and the basics, and I told him that it’s a good sport, so when I started going to Scioto, I signed up for football in the middle of the season. That’s why I didn’t get playing time because I didn’t know anything about it. Then I met my head coach, who helped me get an understanding of football, followed by my uncle.

Last season we had a great run and played some great teams but probably my favorite memory of last season would have to be between when we got back to the field after the away game win against Wheelersburg or the locker room after winning against Miami Trace. What makes you a good teammate? I believe the thing that makes me a good teammate is the fact I get along with most everyone on the team. What advantage do you feel you have being such a big lineman, 6-5, 308? A definite advantage I have as being such a large lineman is my reach and my ability to move mass on the line. What disadvantage do you...

Well, I’d like to start off with one of the things I’d never forget. So, it’s overtime against our rivals Beechcroft, and we only had one chance to score, and I had to pull on that play, and I had gotten one of the game-winning blocks against our rivals. But a good memory would also be when we won games my freshman year; we’d all go into the locker room and have a party, blasting “Sexy Red” or “Dreams...
