  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...

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...
