High School Football America
Yesterday's
NHSCA Sports Hour was a lot of fun with
Steve Spiewak of
MaxPreps.com talking about the upcoming high school football season.
If you missed the interview on Spiewak's Preseason Top 25 Early Contenders, the show will be posted later this week in the archives. Steve did a great job of giving listeners a snapshot of what goes into creating national rankings, and who are the teams to beat this year.
So with high school football on the brain, it's with great pleasure that I make the official announcement that my website
High School Football America is coming to radio!
Yes, beginning July 21st, I'll also be doing a weekly high school football-only show from 7-8 PM EST on the Artist First Radio Network.
Below is the news release announcing the show:
