2024 Interview with Kaleb Evans from Lloyd Memorial High School, Ky

 


 

Kaleb Evans

Lloyd Memorial High School.

Quarterback 

2026

Entering the 2023 season, what were your personal goals, and were you able to achieve those goals?

My personal goals were to stay healthy. No, I got injured at the beginning of the year.

What is the biggest thing you need to improve on to become a better quarterback?

I need to become faster to add more than just me throwing the ball.

What has been your most embarrassing moment as an athlete?
          
My most embarrassing moment would be when we lost a game by 40 points. We should not have lost that much, and it was embarrassing that we did.

How much time do you spend on your own study film as well as the time you spend doing so with the team?

I spend time after school watching films, and I watch them all day on game day. We watch films as a team about 3 days a week and on Saturday morning after our game.

Which type of defense is the hardest for you, as a quarterback, to prepare for?

I would say a cover 4 or when they only rush 3. It’s usually more difficult when they have lots of people back in the zone.

What were the high and low points of the 2023 season?

My high would be my first game back from injury, and I threw 2 touchdowns for 245 yards. It was a very exciting night. My low would be when I got injured at the beginning of the season.

What was the biggest lesson you learned during the 2023 season that you will be able to use to up your game this season?

To get stronger, gain more weight, and become faster.

Where should the state finals be held?

I think the UK stadium is where it needs to be. 

What is your game-day routine?
1. Go to school.
2. Watch some films. 
3. Eat some food.
4. Go to the field and get ready.
5. Team meeting
6. Game time!

Do you think not having spring ball puts Lloyd Memorial behind the Kentucky schools that do have it?

I think that it would definitely help us out, but I think we will be fine. We have multiple 7v7s ahead of us, and we will continue to be in the weight room.

If the game is on the line, which play are you hoping your coach calls? Explain:

It depends on the game circumstances, but I would want a play with some crossing routes, and I would like to roll out. This will give us more options and more time.

What will you miss the most from the 2024 class?

Their leadership and the bond that we all had.

What is one food you refuse to eat?

Seafood

Will you watch any of the new UFL games?

Yea, I heard about it, and it looks pretty cool.

What is the one sport you cannot watch on TV?

Tennis

  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...

  Braylon Sturgill Ironton High School LB/FB 2025 What were your goals entering the 2023 season, and were you able to achieve those goals? Our goal every year is simple: win a state championship. 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 ...

You are also a linebacker and a tight end. Of those two positions, which one do you feel y...
