Got a tour from its Head Coach, RJ Johnson, who's originally from Queens, NY and played ball at John Glenn HS on Long Island. After walking on at Ohio State, his college football career was cut short due to injuries. We were also joined by Terry Dinkins, the team’s Strength & Conditioning Coach and Player Personnel Director. BS currently has 118 players enrolled in its program. They’ll be fielding Varsity and National teams in ‘21! The team is part of the Texas Christian Athletic League’s 6A-National Division. Visit t-cal.org to learn more about this NFHS-sanctioned league. On O, they’ll be running some spread, along with traditional I-formations. Their base D will be 4-3. The facilities are comprised of two buildings in Eaton. The first houses classroom space, three indoor practice fields and a weight room. The second is a dorm/cafeteria for the non-local players. The school offers both online and in-person classes. The online component is implemented by Accel, which is an NCAA-accredited online curriculum platform. PGL is a proud corporate partner of BS. Watch them vs Hoban on 8/19 on the PGL/Flo HSFB Channel. You’ll be glad you did! One person is stupid enough to like this scam show......not a surprise on who it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTerrapin Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 I don't understand why DeMatha is playing this team. They are not part of a church or anything and they take school in a indoor soccer facility? How does that work? I don't see them ranked anywhere either. I assume they are like the Royalty thing from DC. I guess you take whatever games you can get if no one wants to play you. SMH 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTerrapin Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 The bigger question is how does a team with reportedly a bunch of 5th year players get by the TCAL eligibility rule of must not have started 9th grade more than 4 years ago? Which I am sure is a rule TCAL had to have to get NFHS membership correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone is getting fed a bowl of poop but that is just my assessment. I admit I am ignorant on the innerworkings and the whos' who of High School football and these club teams. College football is my interest. I do follow DeMatha and the other WCAC squads some being our current head coach recruits these schools very heavily. Too much in my opinion.

Are all 58 teams desperate, or are they the future of online education post-covid? I'd guess the latter.

RedZone Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 No one has actually seen a photo of this team doing anything as a team this off season, that I know of. That's odd really. No 7/7, no scrimmages, no weightlifting....no anything really other than some of those guys popping up at camps around the nation. My best guess is they bus or fly them in around game time...then send them home. There is something not right about the whole deal.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no playoffs as far as I know, but there are crossover games scheduled as TCCH played Cornerstone Christian in 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just started working with them this past February. All I can say is that the Power 5 schools are recruiting their players hard (Ryan Day from OSU especially) and that every recruit is academically sound from an NCAA Clearinghouse perspective.

RedZone Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 AND, because BS is NOT a legit team and is just some guys showing up to play they will lose every game they play by 30-50 points this year....just like last year. 2020 BS https://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/bishop-sycamore-centurions-(columbus,oh)/football-fall-20/schedule.htm Eventually, this circus will tire of getting their heads bashed in every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
