It’s another week of football as the popular and nationally recognized South Florida High School Sports radio show with Larry Blustein on 104.3 FM WQAM is back on Veteran’s Day Wednesday night this week - brought to you courtesy of University of Miami Health Sports Medicine.
Each week, the 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 been run for nearly two decades and has been rated as one of the top programs 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 Wednesday night went:
With the start of the high school football state playoffs this week, Andre Fernandez looked at some of the teams that are favored – while he also checked out programs that could be a huge surprise.

For the past two months, the talk surrounding high school football in the state of Florida was about the inaugural “Open Division”. Computer generated by Max Preps, choosing the best eight teams to play in this tournament that will produce a state champion may have left some quality team out of the mix and Jon Santucci from USA Today joined the show to look at the current teams and give his opinion on the opening round this week.

After four games to start the 2026 season, the Miami Christopher Columbus Explorers had a good idea how talented the Explorers would be. Playing back-to-back No. 1 nationally rated teams and two local teams, head coach Dave Dunn and his coaching staff had a feeling that if they stayed healthy, this program could end up playing in the inaugural “Open Division”. This Friday, as a No. 2 seed, they will be hosting Miami Central in the first round.

After losing several players from last year’s 1A state runner up and a few coaches, head coach Dameon Jones and the Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna Lions made a strong run at being one of the top teams in the state – and on Friday night, as part of the “Open Division”, they will host Venice in the first round as they are making a bid to get to the state title game for an amazing 11th consecutive time.
