@Go_Rout @THSCAcoaches MORE: While wearable tech can help coaches streamline communication and prevent signal stealing, it also comes with a cost. “Football is a revenue game,” one #txhsfb coach told me, and the tech is an upgrade that districts will have to make a decision on.

Speed, size, nose for the ball. Really liked what @CadeHaug did last season for a talented Kingwood team, and I’m anticipating an even bigger junior season. #HoustonFAB50 #txhsfb.
6'2 220 and running 23MPH verified by @blaylock_23 ! Over 200 career tackles, game changing turnovers, big time offense plays, kid is ready for a HUGE JR year! Thank you to @JonPoorman for showing love and seeing the talent that @CadeHaug is.
