The MaxPreps High School Football Coaches Podcast made its debut this week with state and national championship head coach Jon Kay of North Shore (Houston).

State championships, however, are not what Kay wants his players to take away with them when they leave the program.

He believes discipline stays with his players the rest of their lives. Hear more on that topic in the video below.

"As an educator, I haven't been around too many teenage kids who don't want discipline in their lives," Kay said. "They might fight it initially, but ultimately the kids in our community want structure, they truly want discipline, they want to be held accountable."

North Shore's unbeaten season brought not only the Texas Class 6A-Division I state title but a final No. 1 ranking nationally from MaxPreps.



Kay was named head coach at North Shore in 2014 and has led the Mustangs to a 58-14 record in the five seasons since. Prior to being promoted to the top spot, he was the program's defensive coordinator for 15 seasons.

With the goal of being a go-to resource for coaches, check back each week as host Steve Montoya interviews those making a difference in the game.
