The Dragons were coming off a 7-4 season in 2022, including a first-round playoff loss to the up-and-coming West Muskingum team by one point in overtime. What were the team goals on your mind for the 2023 season?

We had the goal of becoming a completely new team, forgetting about the previous season, and improving our game.

Sticking with goals What were your personal goals heading into the 2023 season, and were you able to achieve those goals?

I came into my freshman year weighing only 125 pounds. I knew I needed to gain weight in order to become a true running back, and I was able to accomplish that. I’m now at 190 pounds.

What makes playing for Fairland so special?

We have been together as a team since we were 6, so we have an undeniable bond.

Up until right now, who is the best player you have ever faced on the field in a game, along with the team he played for?

Shaun Terry, Ironton

What has been the most important lesson you have learned from playing sports?

Commitment. If you want to do something and stay committed to it, you can do anything, no matter the task.

What was the biggest disappointment of the 2023 season?

I pulled my hamstring at the end of the season, so I was not able to help my team against Portsmouth in the playoffs.

What was the biggest moment of the 2023 season?

I would say our win against Gallia was a pretty big win.

Focusing on just the road games you have played, which stadium is the one you dislike playing in?

This season,
Ironton, because we lost.

Staying with the road games theme, which stadium do you enjoy playing at the most, along with the reason?

Portsmouth West because it was a first-time experience on their new field.

Have you or do you plan on attending any camps to aid you in becoming a better player this season?

There are no plans at this time.

Teams all over the state, for the most part, seem to have lower numbers. As a player, how do you go about trying to get some of your classmates to come out for the team?

I tend to talk to everyone in the school and try to make friends with them and motivate them.

Where should the state finals be held?

Canton, for sure

Do you read most on southeasternohiopreps.com, yappi.com, and/or ovathletics.com?

Southeastern Ohio, mainly, but I have used them all.

2024 With Head Coach Jake Heigel from Brockway High School, PA.

  Jake Heigel Brockway High  Head Football Coach Who was the best player you have ever coached against, and what team did he play for? Carson Neely, Port Allegany  Looking back from day one as a coach up to the present, what have been the low and high points of your coaching career? 2020 was a rough first year. We had maybe 15 kids on the roster in preseason sometime in late June. We ended up with probably 6 starters who had never played football in their lives, which isn’t exactly a recipe for success! I was also ejected from our game against Cowanesque Valley. We lost to DuBois 49-0 to end the difficult season... The future did not look so bright. - But fast forward to 2022, where we won our first playoff game 62-6. Followed that up with a win against the reigning western finals champion, Redbank Valley, in a 7-3 fist fight to advance to the D9 championship. In 2023, we won an overtime thriller against DuBois Area 14–13, avenging a 1-point loss at the 1-yard line the year prior.

Small school football

  As the 2024 football season approaches, I want to say thank you to all of the players, coaches, cheerleaders, band members, officials, and all of the school staff for the good times you are about to give thousands of fans this year. As a fan and a person who covers games, I often get asked why I go to as many smaller school games as I do, and I always tell those asking that there is something special about driving into a small town or village and seeing signs wishing the team well. The crowds might not be as large as the bigger school games, but to a certain extent, they are more into it. I believe that is because almost everyone knows everyone, and it is really a community by itself. The players put their pads on the same as the players at the bigger schools, and they, as with the bigger schools, give it their all as much as they can. The biggest difference some will say is talent; others will say size and speed; but more often than not, at a small school, most of the players are
