What are your goals for the 2024 season?

My goals for next season are to be bigger, stronger, and faster than I was last year. I want to be a monster on the field and dominate the defensive line. 

What goals will you set for your team this season?

Definitely to win our first playoff game ever and to win our Rotary Bowl on senior night against McClain. 

The Indians finished 5-6 overall, including a two-game losing streak. In your eyes, how important is it for the team to open the season with a win?

It is important to open our season with a win because it sets the tone for the rest of the season. We play Western Brown Week 1 every year, and we haven’t been there in 5 years.

Focusing on just the road games you have played, which stadium has had the best overall atmosphere, along with the reasons it was so good?

Honestly, I would say Portsmouth West. They were a new team for us this year, and we played at their stadium. It was beautiful with all of the mountains, and people were paragliding over the field. Also, the sunset behind the trees was amazing. Their fans and our fans were really
It was loud, and it was electrifying.

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

Kade Woods from Portsmouth West

What is the most rewarding part of being a lineman?

I don’t have to choose what I eat. Or watching one of your pancakes on film day.

What is one thing you would like to do in a game that might never occur?

I would love to score a touchdown before I graduate. 

What is the most rewarding part of being a student-athlete at Hillsboro High School?

The most rewarding part is being part of a small community and being part of a family. 

What is the hardest part of being a student-athlete?

The hardest part is trying to balance my school life and football at the same time, but I make it work.

Have you heard from any college coaches about playing at the next level? If so, could you name one or two?

No, sir, not yet. It’s in the making, though.

Where should the state finals be held?

Definitely at Ohio State University

As a player, do you feel that private schools have an advantage over public schools?

Yes. They all get better opportunities than us.

Outside of sports, what do you do for fun?

I like to go hang out with the family, my friends, and of course, my girlfriend.

What is your favorite genre of music?

Rap 100%

What is your go-to snack?

My go-to snack is Twix and Root Beer.

  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 ...
