by Jeff Fisher
Follow @HSFBamerica
Technology takes center stage on the June 27th edition of High School Football America.
Host Jeff Fisher talks with Hudl.com CEO David Graff about the cutting edge internet technology that has revolutionized how coaches breakdown practice and game film.
After speaking with Graff, Fisher discusses The Debris Inhibitor Razur with Joey Teichert, whose company Southern Sport has developed a patented sock that does many things, including keeping crumb rubber from Field Turf out of players' shoes.
Fisher's final guest is Jim Cantafio, head coach at Cedar Cliff High School in Pennsylvania, who is the only coach in the Keystone State to have coached two quarterbacks to be invited to the Elite 11 Quarterback Competition. Coach Cantafio talks about Virginia Tech recruit Andrew Ford.

Former St. Thomas Aquinas Head Coach George Smith to Talk About Showdown with De La Salle on NHSCA Sports Hour
by Jeff Fisher
There's a big football game in Florida Friday night between two of the best high school football programs in America.
De La Salle (Concord, CA) High School will square-off with St. Thomas Aquinas (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) on ESPN.
Joining me on tomorrow night's NHSCA Sports Hour to talk about the showdown is STA athletic director George Smith, who is the 2011 National High School Coaches Association's National High School Football Coach of the Year.
Had Smith not retired from coaching earlier this year, the showdown would have featured two of America's legendy coaches. De La Salle is led by Bob Ladouceur, who led the Spartans on that incredible 151-game win streak that began in the early-90's and ended in 2004. Ladouceur owns an incredible record of 375-24-3.
Smith stepped away from the sidelines after 34 years of building the Raiders into a Florida and national power. Smith's career record before handing the program's reigns over to Rocco Casullo was 361-66 with six state titles and two "mythical" national championships. Ladouceur has led the Spartans to seven "mythical" national titles.
On May 1st on the NHSCA Sports Hour, I spoke with Casullo, the team's former defensive coordinator, about taking over for a legend. Click here to listen to that interview.
St. Thomas Aquinas enters the game ranked #4 by MaxPreps.com, while De La Salle is at #10.
Tune-in tomorrow night starting at 6PM EDT to listen to my interview with Coach Smith. Click here to listen LIVE.

Tune-in to My First National High School Coaches Association Radio Show
by Jeff Fisher
High School Football America
It's been a fun Thanksgiving weekend in the Lehigh Valley...who said you can never go home?!
Aside from celebrating the holiday, I watched some great high school football and returned to my broadcasting roots...radio.
Saturday began with a two-hour guest appearance with old friends Jack Logic and Joe Craig on the Jack, Joe & Company radio show on WGPA-AM. It was a nice stroll down memory lane with plenty of talk about my early days on WEST-AM in Easton. The segment with my first broadcast partner Bruce Nagy, who's now living in California, made it a perfect start to the day.
Last night I spent a chilly night watching high school football in my favorite high school stadium...Cottingham Stadium in Easton, Pennsylvania. The 1920-era stadium came alive in the cold night air around when the Easton faithful celebrated the Red Rovers' district gold medal with a come-from-behind 13-10 win over Whitehall, which avenged an earlier season defeat at the hands of the Zephyrs.
Now, I'm preparing for my debut show as host of the National High School Coaches Association Sports Hour. You can listen to the show starting at 6 PM EST on the Artist First Radio Network.
My first guest is Easton head coach Steve Shiffert, who will talk about preparing his team to play three games in eight days, which included a Thanksgiving Day game against the Red Rovers' arch-rival Phillipsburg.
Also joining me on the first show will be Pius X (Roseto, PA) head coach Phil Stambaugh, who just finished a successful first year as head coach of the Royals. Pius, which is the subject of a documentary I'm doing for High School Football America, was 8-4 and finished in second-place in Class A in District 11.
My third guest will be Mollie Omenski of GTM Sportswear, sponsor of the NHSCA Athlete of the Month.
