Preston Fauber

Paint Valley High School

Quarterback

2026

What was the biggest adjustment you made to your game after transferring to Paint Valley?

Putting in a lot more time into film study, breaking down defenses with the coaching staff, and being able to make the ride read with no thought during the games.

What was the biggest surprise to you as far as football in the Scioto Valley Conference goes?

The rivalry’s between all the schools in the SVC and the competitiveness between every single team.

What is it like to play for Coach Dye?

It’s amazing that a man puts in so much work not just during the season but year-round; he’s always helping us get better in not just our athletics but making all of us better men.

Up until now, what has been your biggest achievement as an athlete?
Making an honorable mention of our district.

What has been your biggest embarrassment as an athlete?
I probably got my helmet ripped off in multiple games last season.

Where should the state finals be held?

In Canton, I believe there’s so much football history there, such as the football Hall of Fame and the first NFL team, the Canton Bulldogs.

If you could change one rule in high school football, what would it be, and why?

Easily being the rule, when a ball carrier falls down, they are ruled down instead of being able to get back up if a defender did not down them.

Who is the best player you have ever faced in a game, along with the team he played for?

Drew Novak is a quarterback from Western Brown.

Which road game do you look the least forward to? Explain

Westfall since the school is so far from ours.

It's fourth and five from the five, and with three seconds left, you need a touchdown to win the game. What play are you calling?

I would say a sprint-out pass with a run option because I would have receivers to rely on to score for us, and if nothing opens up, Braylon will come out blocking and give me a runway to the end zone.

What is the one thing you wish you could do on the football field but probably do not have the chance to do?

Take a kick return to house. 

What have you been doing during the off-season to make you better on the field this season?

I’ve been lifting a lot of weights,watching a bunch of films, studying the playbook, and throwing on the field.

What is a sport you wish you could play but do not have the skills to do?

Golf, I’m not able to hit a ball of the tee barely.

What are your favorite and least favorite pro football teams?

Favorite: Bengals; least favorite: Kansas City Chiefs

What was the last book you read along with the author?

The Odyssey, by Homer. It is about the Trojan War, King Odyssey, and his hard journey back to his city.

  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 t...

We fell short last season, but we are coming back stronger. My personal goals were to be a full-time starter and contribute to my team's success. I was able to start and contribute despite a few injuries that prevented me from being 100% throughout the season. What is it like to play for Coach Pendleton? It’s an honor playing for Coach Pendleton; he knows what it takes to be successful and play at the next level. A coach demands excellence and accepts nothing less. What makes Coach different from other coaches is that he teaches us toughness, and that’s what separates Ironton from other teams. Coach has surrounded us with some of the best staff in Ohio. He is the best coach I have ever played for. What is the hardest part of an Ironton practice? The hardest part about practice is ...
