5th best sack percentage in the state. Will cause future havoc in football. Poised for a breakout final year in track and field. This kid has a new chip on his shoulder and he is going to be a problem.Sleeper Senior pick that needs a home.

From dirt tracks in Georgia to leading one of the nation’s powerhouse high school programs, @coach_cage’s journey is a story of resilience, faith, and servant leadership. As head coach at Westlake High School, he’s built more than a track program—he’s built a culture that attracts 200+ athletes every season, state championships, and even Gatorade Athletes of the Year. In this episode pod.fo/e/32ef78, Coach Cage opens up about: 🏃 His late start in track & field and the coach who changed his life 🌍 Lessons learned from running with international teammates in junior college 📚 The power of coaching education and why he hosts clinics for fellow coaches & parents 🏆 How Westlake built a culture of pride, discipline, and community 💡 Balancing family, teaching, and leading one of the largest HS programs in the country “Track saved my life. The discipline, the relationships, the lessons—it all shaped who I am today.” – Jason Cage
