We sit down with Windham native Brandon Barnard to discuss his gridiron journey and his current role coaching at Jackson Prep in Mississippi. We are also joined by all-GBL athlete Shane Knowlton-Simard from Lynn English, who shares his inspiring story of overcoming adversity in the state care system to earn academic and athletic success, leading to his post-graduate year at Choate Rosemary Hall and a Division I offer from the University of Albany. Plus, Andy Villamarzo from Rivals On3 drops by to break down the opening weeks of high school football nationally and locally.

We kicked off the broadcast catching up with coach Brandon Barnard, who walked us through his roots in Windham and how his passion for the game brought him to the heart of Mississippi football culture at Jackson Prep.
Later in the show, Shane Knowlton-Simard called in to share a powerful narrative of resilience. The Lynn English standout reflected on navigating the DCF system, excelling academically, and earning a spot at Choate Rosemary Hall alongside a football offer from the University of Albany. Throughout the interview, Shane gave credit to the coaches, teammates, and mentors who supported him along the way.
To round out our sports coverage, analyst Andy Villamarzo provided an expert breakdown of the early high school football action around the nation while putting the spotlight on top regional programs and players to watch this fall.
The show soundtrack features hard-hitting hard rock and hip-hop, including fresh tracks from Lawrence legend Termanology and Paul Wall.
