What were your feelings as you walked off of the field for the last time as a member of the Lampeter-Strasburg football team?

It was very sad. Knowing I wouldn’t play with my brothers anymore was difficult for sure.

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

We were the first team to go undefeated in the section. We were the first team in LS history to make it to the State Championship game. This team was unselfish and did things the right way and hopefully set the program up for future success by providing a high standard.

What was the highlight of your high school football career?

Making history for the LS program and being named PA Class 4A Player of the Year!

Of all of the wins, which one meant the most? Explain

The first time we played Wyomissing. They are a tremendous football program, and we have never beaten them. They hadn’t lost at home in 7 years going into the game, so for us to go on the road and beat such a great team was extremely memorable.

Which loss stung the most? Explain

Well, we were 14-0 going into the State Championship game, so losing to a great team, Bonner-Prendie, was tough.

Who was the best team that you faced, along with the things that made them so good?

Bonner-Prendie was the toughest team. They were extremely well coached, they had a passion for competition, and they were talented at every level on both sides of the ball.

Who was the best player that you faced, along with the team he played on?

Definitely Chase Eisenhower at Wyomissing. He was terrific on both sides of the ball.

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

TEAM is bigger than self. Our LS creed is something to live life by, not just applicable to football.

With the high school portion of your football career being over, is there anything you wished that you would have done differently? Explain

The season was perfect. The experience was amazing. I wouldn’t change anything about my time at LS playing football.

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

Absolutely. I love to compete, and getting the chance to play with other great players would be exciting.

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

Best…meeting great people and seeing lots of wonderful programs. Worst...having to sift through the opportunities and make an adult decision. Especially when there are so many great opportunities.

Would you name some of the schools that you are hearing from, along with any offers you have?

I have been blessed to receive offers from DII and DIII schools throughout this process. I’ve also been blessed to meet and connect with so many schools…It’s been really fun.

What scares you?

New things and change can sometimes be scary.

What would you do if there were no cell phones and internet?

I would still live my life with friends and family but definitely spend more time outside. lol

What is a sport that you would like to play but do not have the skill set to do so?

Definitely basketball!

2024 With Head Coach Jake Heigel from Brockway High School, PA.

Image
  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...

2024 Interview with Braylon Sturgill from Ironton High School

  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 ...

The whole team gives one hundred percent at practice and in the weight room every single day. Players on the team lifting our guys up during games Get better and better each week and win the state title. What are your personal goals for the season? Break the school sack record. be the top-ranked defensive end in Ohio. Help my team make it to the state title. Continue to lead on and off the field. Stay healthy all season. How long have you been the long snapper, and how did you get into playing that position? I have been playing long snapper for 2 years, and I started playing it because my big brother Cynceir McNeal played it when he came here, and he inspired me to start playing long snapper. You are also a linebacker and a tight end. Of those two positions, which one do you feel y...
