One of the most popular radio shows of its kind was back on Monday night for two hours this week, leading into the Marlins and Dodgers on the west coast.
Six guests talked the opening of high school spring and the NFL Draft as the South Florida High School Sports Show once again presented some interesting information.
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 night went:
As a high school freshman, Travis Burke was 5’10 and 180 pounds as a potential prospect at Hollywood South Broward. With stops at Gardner Webb, FIU and most recently, Memphis University, this now 6’9, 340-pounder found himself in the NFL Draft as a fourth-round selection by the Los Angele Chargers.

Over the past two seasons, very few high school football programs have accomplished what West Boca Raton has been able to do. With head coach Dylan Potts and his staff leading the way, the Bulls have won two consecutive titles, and as the 2026 spring football season is now under way, this is a team that may have its best program in school history.

If you follow high school football in south Florida, the name Roland Smith is more than familiar.

Before he left for Coral Gables, Smith had the pleasure of developing Rueben Bain & Wesley Bissainthe at the start of their careers, and over the past three seasons, has been able to keep a close eye on them as Hurricanes before heading to the NFL.

Eight years ago, in the state championship game in Orlando, Jacksonville Mandarin, a program that had never experienced success on the football field, stunned Miami Christopher Columbus and took home the state title.
