What was the high mark of the 2023 season?

I think the high mark would be beating Tri in Week 2. It was nice getting our revenge from last season.

How long have you played football, along with the reasons you continue to play?

I have played football since 3rd grade, and the competitiveness football has with the other teams in the TEC is what drives me to play.

What is the toughest part of practice?

Our inside run segment is pretty tough on the body; you get a couple bruises here and there.

What is the best part of being a student-athlete at Northeastern High School?

The best part is the winning culture we have; there’s nothing the kids and the staff at Northeastern want more than winning, which makes putting in the extra time after school a lot easier.

What has been the biggest moment in your athletic career, in any sport, at any age?

The biggest moment for me was my freshman season, when we beat Centerville at home. I didn’t play in the game, but the energy after winning was something I can’t explain.

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

So far, I’d say the best player I’ve gone against is Aiden Weatherhead from Winchester.

What is the toughest part of playing on the D-line?

For me, it’s being undersized compared to a lot of linemen; it can be hard to out-strengthen them sometimes.

Worst weather for a lineman to play in?

The worst weather is when it’s blazing hot. Trying to move big linemen around every play in 95-degree weather is tough.

Just focusing on the road stadiums you have played in, which had the best overall atmosphere?

Winchester's atmosphere was the best overall with how many fans they have, and their band is really good.

What are your personal goals for the 2024 season?

My goals are to lead the TEC in sacks and also to break the sack record at Northeastern.

Which game are you looking most forward to this season? Explain

Centerville. It’ll feel good to bruise their egos when we beat them.

What is one thing that you would like to do on the football field in a game that you might never get to do?

I would love to get a play design with me at quarterback so I can prove I can throw the rock.

Who are your role models?

Robert Mathis and Kam Crawford 

What is your favorite genre of music?

Indie folk is the way to go.

What is the one sport that you cannot watch on TV?

Baseball is the most insufferable thing on TV.

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 the year prior.

  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
