As the high school football season gets set to kickoff this week across Frederick County, Pat Cadden, the second-year head football coach at Frederick High, is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast.

Cadden chats with host Greg Swatek about his team at Frederick High this season, which is once again brimming with talent at the skill positions. The Cadets added a pair of transfers from Walkersville, running back Jordan Bennett and receiver Darius Eubank, to an already talented cast of players.

The coach talks about how far the program has come over the last five to six seasons and what it will take to breakthrough and win a state championship.

He said this team is one of the fastest he has ever coached. So, how will the Cadets utilize it during games? And what sort of difference will it make in their overall success?

Prior to this conversation, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg for a thorough team-by-team look at the high school football season in Frederick County.
