Bryar Stewart has loved football for as long as he can remember. Growing up in Racine, West Virginia, he was captivated by the game before he could even walk, famously sleeping with a football as a baby. Watching games with his family and cheering on his older cousins inspired him to follow the same path, and six years later, he's become an exciting all-around player for the Tri State Lumberjacks, coached by Andy Pennington. Wearing No. 23, Bryar makes an impact wherever he's needed, lining up at wide receiver, running back, safety, and cornerback. His versatility, athleticism, and competitive spirit allow him to contribute on both sides of the ball, always giving everything he has for his teammates. One of Bryar's favorite memories this season came when the Lumberjacks defeated the WV Reapers, a hard-earned victory that reflected the team's determination and effort. While he enjoys making big plays, what means the most to him is the bond he shares with his teammates. He says the best part of football is feeling like a family, building friendships, and having fun together every step of the way. Away from the field, Bryar enjoys dirt bike racing, hill climbing, hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family. He looks up to his dad more than anyone else, describing him as both his biggest role model and his best friend. Through his father's example, Bryar has learned that hard work, dedication, and perseverance make all the difference both in sports and in life. A fan of Justin Jefferson and the Cincinnati Bengals, Bryar continues to chase his dreams with the same passion he's had since he first fell in love with football. With his relentless work ethic, team-first attitude, and determination to keep improving, he's building a bright future while making lasting memories along the way.

Wearing No. 88 for the Tri-State Lumberjacks 10U team, Grayson contributes on both sides of the ball as a running back and cornerback, always ready to help his team however he can. Growing up in Logan, West Virginia, Grayson first fell in love with football while playing with his Papaw Craig, known to many as Coach Larry. Those early moments sparked a passion for the game that continues to grow each season. Today, he looks up to Christian McCaffrey and proudly cheers for the San Francisco 49ers.

It quickly became a funny moment that everyone will remember for years to come. For Grayson, the best part of football is the family atmosphere that develops within the team. He enjoys building friendships with his teammates and working together toward a common goal, knowing they can always count on one another both on and off the field. Away from football, Grayson enjoys fishing, hunting, and riding ATVs. His biggest role models are his Papaw and his dad, who have always supported him, encouraged him, and taught him never to give up, no matter the challenge.
