What are you going to miss the most from the 2025 class?

The friendships and memories made.

Which win meant the most this season? Explain

 I think Alderdice won due to the fact it was such a hard-fought game all 4 quarters.

Which loss hurt the most? Explain 

University Our defense played super well as a team, and late in the game our offense clicked, but we couldn’t stop them on their last drive.

Who was the best player you faced in a game this season, along with the team he played for?

 The running back from Wheeling Park, the kid, hit holes hard and was very quick on his feet.

Who was the best team that you faced this season, and what made them so good?

Wheeling Park was the best team. They came with a very good game plan, and their execution was very good.

What was your personal high moment during the season?

I would say force a fumble and recover a fumble on a screen pass from Hollidaysburgh.

What was your personal low moment of the season?

The Wheeling Park game when our defense didn’t have an answer for the offense 

Which part of your game do you believe you improved on the most throughout the season?

The ability to read the line and recognize plays 

What was the biggest thing that you learned about yourself this season that will aid you in being a better player in 2025?

I feel like I learned that I can’t let myself get too high in the moment and stay composed through the whole game.

What makes you a good teammate?

I pick my teammates up when times get rough and keep their heads on their shoulders.

When do you start training for the 2025 season?

I already started training; every day you wait is one way others can get above you.

Which away stadium was the best to play at this season, along with the reason it was so good?

Wheeling Park had a very lively student section and a big crowd.

PlayStation or Xbox?

Xbox

  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 ...

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