Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. I got the best present of all. Cruz Michael Cortez arrived at 8:57pm.
@_livco
was absolutely amazing. Her and baby are doing great❤️
When you deliver a perfect little boy, you get spoiled. The wife did amazing as always. Enzo Joseph made his debut yesterday at 5:12pm. Can’t wait to see the QB/WR connection with him and Cruz. ❤️
@_livco
Well, the wife
@_livco
and I are adding another member to the team soon❤️ yes we are going to fight on what outfit the baby is going to wear. Can’t wait to meet our baby in May❤️
Would like to announce the first ever QB Showcase - Kansas City. This is an opportunity for QBs around the area to have a "pro day" style event in front of colleges. 12 colleges have already committed and we are in talks with many more. Invites will be sent out to QBs next week.
So proud of this group, these seniors, and this team. From being winless the past 2 years to winning 4 this year and making it to the district semifinal game. Could not have asked to coach such a special group of kids. Thank you, fellas.
Bittersweet watching my little brother
@Ctez03
play his last high school football game. From an early age I knew he was not only a special player, but an even better person. So proud of the person and student-athlete you’ve become and can’t wait to see what more you accomplish.
Huge success today for these QBs. Thank you to Hausman Metal Works and Roofing, Clean Gutters & More, Pappy’s Bar and Grill, Ken and Susan Smith at KellerWilliams, Aliza Grooms,
@HstlandHrtmedia
, all volunteers, and all WRs that made today possible. Great day!
Our QB Showcase -KC has our first 15 QBs signed up. We will still be evaluating film and sending out more invites. Really pumped to watch these guys compete and throw the rock around a little bit.

@qbquest17
Super proud of this kid. Not just because of the player he is, but of how good of a person he is. Can’t wait to watch you next year. Proud of you my guy
@marcusneal0705
Soooooo happy for our boys!!!!! First win in 2 years. Congrats to
@RSFootballHC
on his first win at RaySouth! So proud. It is a great day to be a Cardinal!
So proud of our boys. From not knowing if we would even be playing this season to making it to round 2 of playoffs. These boys aren’t just great student-athletes, they are great kids. Many of them deal with difficult obstacles everyday, but remain great kids. So proud of them. ☘️
The biggest thing I’ve realized in my brief one year of being an educator/coach is that believing in a kid is far more important than any play, equation, or formation. Let a kid know that you believe in them every day.
Some of the best advice I received while being a young educator/coach is letting people critique your ideas and the way you do things. Everyone is different but want similar goals.
3+3=6, but so does 5+1 and 4+2.
Listen to everyone’s ideas.
I feel like we’re watching the evolution of not just basketball, but sports in general. Giannis is 26, Mahomes is 25, Simone Biles is 23, Tatis Jr is 22. The torch is being passed down in every sport right in front of us. The future is bright🙌🏼

relay teams, and districts start tomorrow.
You can fake having a good work ethic. Posting pics of the “grind” on IG and Snapchat doesn’t mean you’re really grinding. How hard are you going to work when nobody is around?
Happy birthday to the rock of our home and the best wife and mother we could ever ask for. Thank you for everything you do for us, we love you❤️
@_livco
We are exactly one month away from the inaugural QB Showcase KC!
🚨🚨 WE STILL NEED WRs. If you are a college WR wanting some work, or a HS WR wanting to show your skills, please contact me. We would love to have you run some routes and catch.
Can't wait to see these guys go!
Happy birthday to this amazing coach’s wife. She keeps our household in tact and is an amazing mother. Thank you for being patient in and out of season. You are an amazing wife, mother, and woman. Cruz and I love you❤️

Another reason to emphasize hip torque with the throw. If you aren’t allowed to follow through because of frontside pressure, your hip rotation still allows for accuracy and velocity.
Super excited to announce that Coach Drew Cortez
@QBCoachCortez

It’s been awesome seeing all the local talent sign with big time college programs. From Alabama and Tennessee, to Iowa State and Nebraska. However here’s one from St. Joe that nobody has talked about. Congrats young man.

@IrishLhs
JR Carlos Cortez (
@Ctez03
) & SO Steevie Beasley (
@steevie_b24
) left the Class 4 track championships motivated.
Cortez finished 11th in 100, but just .18 behind 1st.
Beasley took 15th in javelin, not bad for starting mid-April.
Both determined to come back next year.
Went out there today to give the defense a scout QB look, I felt like I still got it..... until I got home and my arm is getting ready to fall off. Retired for a reason🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
This off-season, we've really hammered mechanics and tweaked some things here and there.
@SaundersJaron22
has embraced change and he looks as smooth as ever. Can't wait to see him this year😤
