The Monitor’s Ivan Palacios and Bryan Ramos return for the RGVSports.com Football Podcast to break down the start of the 2021 high school football season in the Rio Grande Valley. We take a deep dive into the teams visited during the first week of our Preseason Two-a-Day Tour — Edcouch-Elsa, Edinburg Economedes, Grulla, La Joya Palmview, Mercedes, PSJA High, Sharyland Pioneer and Weslaco East.

The Monitor’s Henry Miller talks with McAllen High first-year head volleyball coach Michael Smith about growing up in Georgia, his love for volleyball and the upcoming Poundfest Tournament. They also cover the importance of having big hitters as a preview to a story coming in Sunday’s edition of The Monitor and on RGVSports.com. Finally they talk about a southeastern delicacy — boiled peanuts and a life-changing food for coach Smith.
