What are you going to miss the most from playing high school football?
 

My coaches and teammates 

What were your feelings as you walked off the field for the last time as a member of the Winton Woods football team?

Sadness, of course, from losing, but unexpectedly I felt contentment from finally knowing I am finished with a chapter in my life, and I will be moving on to another chapter.

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

I believe the mark we made was that we were one of the best ever classes and a class known to have one of the best defenses in school history.

What was the highlight of your football career?

My entire senior year. It was a blur, but in the most enjoyable way. Every game felt so impactful and so important, but they also went by incredibly fast.

What was the most disappointing part of your football career?

I would say my junior year when I was injured for the most part of the season and I couldn’t play to the best of my abilities.

What was the biggest lesson that you have learned from playing high school football?

That nothing is granted and everything you work for isn’t, but as long as you are dedicated and consistent, many things will go your way.

Of all of the road games that you played in, which stadium was the best to have played in?

In my opinion, I would say Anderson was the best stadium; their fans were really dedicated to their team.

Of all of the road stadiums, which was the worse stadium to play in? Explain

Little Miami was the worst by far, but that was due to weather conditions that day.

If you are invited to play in any of the all-star games, will you? Explain

I will, It won’t hurt to suit up one last time before college.

Now that it is over, your high school football career, what would you have done differently?

I would have definitely liked to work out more in my freshman and sophomore years.

What has been the best and worst part of the recruiting process?

The best part is having options; the worst is deciding what options are the best for you.

Would you name some of the schools that are recruiting you?

Cornell, Thomas Moore, Mercyhurst, Central State, Charleston, Wheeling, Fairmont, Tuluscum, and West Virginia State University

What is your favorite home-cooked meal?

Shrimp Alfredo

Who is your favorite athlete?

LeBron James 

What is a talent or skill that you have that might shock those who know you?

I can do a kick-up.

  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 ...
