The Final Score podcast continues to preview the upcoming Frederick County high school football season with Frederick High coach Kevin Pirri.

Pirri chats with host Greg Swatek about how the Cadets are managing high expectations for the first time in nearly two decades. He also talks about some of the lean years after taking over the program in 2015 compared to now when more than 100 kids are registered in the program a season after Frederick reached the state semifinals for the first time since their only previous appearance in 1985.

What will it take for the Cadets to advance another step or two father this season and claim their first state championship? Pirri responds.

Plus, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy drops by to share some of his early observations from various Frederick County football practices.
