It’s our first show of the new year and the South Florida High School Sports Radio Show took center stage with six impressive guests on a Monday night.

Each week, the FM 104.3 WQAM radio program attracts the newsmakers in high school sports, recruiting college sports – not only locally, but throughout the country.

The show gives listeners an opportunity to hear about college football programs statewide from the media that cover them. It also focuses on the coaches who use the state of Florida – Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in particular.

The program, which has run for nearly two decades and has been recognized nationally as one of the best of its kind, has become a popular listen for recruiting fans as well as high school sports purists, focusing on high sports and the newsmakers.

Here is a look at the way Monday went:

When head football coach Mike Smith and his Plantation American Heritage Patriots beat Orlando Jones to win the 4A state title for the second straight year, he proved that playing a tough schedule paid off. This week, he is in San Antonio as the head coach of the East team in the Navy All-American High School football game on Saturday.
