Bishop Sycamore (OH)@ Johnson Central (Canceled)
#20

I was able to find that Bishop Sycamore had no returning D1 recruits and had already played a road game Friday night in Pittsburgh without much effort. ESPN's announcers were unaware that the Centurions were playing their second game in less than three days. There is no team in the country that would have stayed close to IMG with one day to rest and prepare for the game.

Johnson Central has played Bishop Sycamore before and I am sure that their staff understands the nature of the team that they will be playing. They have some good, gutsy athletes but there was no excuse for them scheduling a team like IMG with no time to prepare. Actually, there would be no excuse for them, or any team in Kentucky to schedule IMG at all. IMG has 20 players listed in ESPN's top 300, including some of the top recruits in the nation and they had some impressive players coming off the bench. I hope that Bishop Sycamore recovers well enough to give Johnson Central a competitive game this week.
I get that JC wants to play football next Friday, but shouldn’t folks at JCHS be concerned about who they’re playing? Will BS even provide you guys with a roster? They’ve played 3 games in two weeks. They apparently didn’t even warm up or practice plays before they played Hoban (OH). Brought more players out that weren’t on one team bus during parts of the game. 

They’ve claimed to have a varsity and post grad teams with 100+ players that included 26 D1 guys. Yet only 25ish players showed up in the first game and the team was also given the jerseys in the parking lot right before the game. The roster given to Hoban had names but no numbers and the roster wasn’t even accurate. What’s even worse is apparently there’s a former JUCO player on the team that had some power 5 D1 offers, but couldn’t cut it at the JUCO level and now plays for Bishop Sycamore. 

JC may win by as much as they want, but know that you all have no idea who you’re playing unless they give a accurate roster to y’all with matching names, numbers, and grade.

My best guess is that some investigating is going to happen this week finding out some interesting information about BS thanks to that crap show ESPN agreed to air earlier today.
