Lasalle High School

Right tackle 

2025

You missed last season due to an injury. Can you share with the readers the injury and how your recovery has gone?

I tore my ACL and meniscus. The recovery has been challenging, but for the most part, I have a good team to keep me focused and on top of it.


What will you miss the most from the 2024 class?

There was drive and love for the game; they all wanted to win.

What is the toughest part of playing right-tackle?

Playing tackle, you don’t get noticed a lot, so when you lose a rep, all eyes are on you, so I would have to say being versatile with the different fronts we face 

What is the best part of playing right-tackle?

Just knowing that I’m protecting my quarterback and the relationships built with my lineman 

What has been your biggest accomplishment as an athlete?

How far I have come as a player and how I am getting better every day

I read that you also wrestle. How do you believe wrestling helps you when it comes to football?

It keeps me agile and light on my feet, helps with footwork, and is just like being a dog in the trenches.

What are you looking forward to the most as far as the upcoming season goes?

I just want to play with my boys again, ball out, and, most of all, win.

What do you need to improve on the most to be a better player?

Just continue to get stronger, quicker, and smarter, and focus on keeping my body right to pervert injury.

What have you been able to accomplish during the off-season to become a better player?

I’ve been able to focus more on school, building strong relationships with my team and coaches, and learning from my injuries to take care of my body first.

After your senior season, if you are invited to play in any of the statewide all-star games, will you?

Yes, I would. I think it would be a great experience and very good exposure.

How important is it for you to have a winning season in 2024, especially with it being your final season?

I think it is very important, especially post-season.

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

I would say Justin Hill or Winton Woods.

Of the off-road stadiums you have played in during your career, which stadium has had the best overall atmosphere?

Elder 

Staying with the road games, which stadium has been the worst to play in, along with what made it so bad

Indy Cathedral was grassy and had humps.

  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 ...
