HBO Is Releasing A Documentary On Bishop Sycamore Football Scam
HBO has released a trailer for a documentary about Bishop Sycamore High School called BS High.
In case you may have forgotten, just last year the Bishop Sycamore Centurions appeared in a nationally-televised game broadcast by ESPN against high school powerhouse, IMG Academy.
After the Centurions were destroyed 58-0, it was clear something was amiss. People started asking how the team could've pulled the wool over ESPN's eyes (although, it isn't that hard to do).
As it turns out, the school didn't have classrooms, didn't practice, and had 19 and 20-year-olds on the roster.
It's perfect documentary fodder, especially following Netflix's Manti Te'o documentary, Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist.
Football-related hoaxes/scams are hot right now, and HBO is climbing onboard with BS High.
The fella in that teaser is Roy Johnson. He was Bishop Sycamore's head coach for the game against IMG, but was fired a few days later. Obviously, it looks like we're going to get to hear his side of the story in the documentary.
This is going to be a must-watch. Even before all the off-field drama came to light, we all wanted the inside scoop on how this was even possible:
Expect to see BS High on HBO and HBO Max at some point next year.
