The station was founded through a grant issued by the Montgomery Township Education Foundation for the initial purchase of equipment and airtime in that first season when The MIRE was LIVE at all MHS basketball home games. In 2012, The MIRE continued to broadcast all home boys’ and girls’ basketball games in the winter and spring. They continue to broadcast MHS basketball as well as Montgomery football games on www.mireradio.com

Not to mention the leadership role he will take on over the next 12 months on the MHS football team.

With Montgomery senior Alex Benitez becoming the school's all-time leading rusher, and also the school's first player to rush for over 2,000 yards, we bring you our exclusive interview with the man who Benitez passed to become the record holder: Yaw Etse.
Etse, a Cornell graduate, graduated Montgomery in 2004 and played for the program before it was even a varsity team, then led them on the field in the school's first two varsity seasons.

He tells us the real meaning of the term "tough love" and why it's OK to acknowledge that sometimes in life there are other people who are also good at the things you love. Glock also let's us know that there is only one player in the history of the Big Four American Sports who can undeniably claim that he is for sure his sport's all-time best.

Glock wonders if his take from this week is simply common sense, or worth writing a book about, as he recaps why folks were upset after Tuesday's loss to Middletown North.
Bring the Furey does get a week off, even without its namesake involved in the Pod as Glock dips into the game at Hillsborough this past Saturday to bring you the play of the week.- and maybe the season, and maybe the half decade?
Finally we take a look at the busy week ahead with a big-time matchup looming on Monday and a sentimental evening upcoming Tuesday.
