What will you miss the most about playing high school football for Bloom Carroll?

I feel like the Carroll community really comes together, and it makes you want to play better.

What mark do you believe your class left on the football program?

I wasn’t here very long, but I feel like the mark would just be to work hard whenever you can.

What was your biggest accomplishment as a high school football player?

I like to compare myself every year to who I was a year ago and look at how much better I got for the upcoming season.

What was your biggest disappointment as a high school football player?

Being told by an athletic trainer that I couldn’t play in my last game ever 

What were your feelings as you walked off the field after your last game?

I had mixed feelings—bittersweet,  some would say.

All-star games used to be such a big deal, almost an honor for the player. If you are invited to play in one, will you? Why or why not?

If I had the honor to play against the best of the best, I would take the opportunity, no doubt.

Who was the best player you faced in a game as a high school player? along with the team he played for?

Going back to my junior year, I’d probably say either RB Chris Edmonds ‘23 from Toledo Central Catholic or RB Daivontay Young from Dunbar High School.

Who was the best team you faced, and why do you believe they were so good?

Again, my junior year I will definitely say Toledo Central Catholic; I’d definitely say it starts with the oline. They always have the size to physically dominate, which opens up everything else for their playmakers.

Of all the road games you played in, which stadium was the worst to have played in?

Amanda Clear-Creek, Oregon Clay, and Hamilton township 

Could you name some of the schools that recruited you?

Bethany, Otterbein, Ohio Northern, Defiance, Marietta, and Mount Union

What were the best and worst parts of the recruiting process?

For me, it wasn’t too bad or anything like that, but the worst part was definitely getting your DM ignored by coaches.

What made you choose Otterbein?

It’s close to home, and I want to help rebuild this program.

Will you, if possible, go to any Bloom Carroll football games this season?

Absolutely not. It’s time for me to focus on my college football games this season.

What is the one food you refuse to eat?
 
Pumpkin pie

Who is your favorite athlete? 

I actually don’t have one.

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 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 ...

Break the school sack record. be the top-ranked defensive end in Ohio. Help my team make it to the state title. Continue to lead on and off the field. Stay healthy all season. How long have you been the long snapper, and how did you get into playing that position? I have been playing long snapper for 2 years, and I started playing it because my big brother Cynceir McNeal played it when he came here, and he inspired me to start playing long snapper. You are also a linebacker and a tight end. Of those two positions, which one do you feel y...
