Positions played:OL,DL

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

I’ve played football almost my whole life. I continue to play because it’s something I enjoy, and I love the team.

What do you believe is the strongest part of your game?

I think that my football IQ is what makes me a good player. I think that’s what separates me from other players.

What are you doing during the off-season to improve your game?

We’ve all been hitting the weight room hard, but I think the biggest thing for me is getting into the shape I need to be in for football season.

What is the toughest part of being a lineman?

I definitely feel like the whole offense or even defense depends on you. If you can’t block for your guys, they aren’t going to be able to make any plays.

Which side of the line is the hardest for you to prepare for? Explain

I would say the defensive line is definitely harder for me to prepare for.

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

Without a doubt, play Raceland.

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

Probably Leslie County my freshman year. They had the best student section I’ve ever seen, and you could tell their community was involved.

What will Fairview have to accomplish before the season starts to make them better and have a winning season?

We have the talent that we need to be a good football team. We just need a change of culture, and that’s what Coach Roy and ourselves are doing right now: changing the culture. We don’t feel like we’re going to be a 2-9 team anymore; that’s not what we expect. We know we can beat every team on our schedule, and that’s what we plan on doing.

What is the toughest part of practice?

100% conditioning. Coach is definitely getting us in shape this year.

What have you accomplished this offseason to help you become a better player?

I feel like my attitude has improved. 

With so many college coaches looking at Hudl, how often do you update your page?

Well, with me not playing last year, it’s definitely been rough putting myself out there, as far as Hudl goes. But once I get some more film, I will update it every week.

What made you come out for the team this season, after taking off last season?

I really missed it after not playing last year. I also feel like Coach Roy and the team have the ability to do something special this year, and I want to be a part of it.

With so many schools facing low numbers, what do you do to try and get your classmates to come out for the team?

I tell them to give it a shot, put in some effort, and I think they’ll like it.

Outside of sports, what do you do for fun?

I like to spend time with my family and friends and work.

What is your go-to snack?

Pop tarts.

What is your favorite video game system?

Playstation 5.

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

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