BREAKING NEWS – Columbus, Ohio – DeMatha Catholic, Duncanville, Liberty and Johnson Central all decided to cancel games with Bishop Sycamore, according to Max Preps. Bishop Sycamore had a schedule filled with top-tier programs across the U.S., but after losing to IMG Academy 58-0 and the revelation the school duped a marketing agency to be put into a national television slot, the handful of teams have reconsidered playing the school.
“We have been doing a lot of researching, and after discussing it with our coaching staff, we decided to cancel that game with Bishop Sycamore because they have ineligible players and it would be a liability issue. We think this is the right decision,” DeMatha Carolina president Fr. James R. Day told USA Today.
The dropouts came as Bishop Sycamore head coach Roy Johnson was fired.
Johnson later stated, “I don’t know why I was fired. Coaches shouldn’t be expected to win every game, and I shouldn’t be canned because we suffered a tough overtime loss to IMG Academy, 58-0.”
