A week after fooling ESPN and the world, Bishop Sycamore of Ohio will face Duncanville High School in Duncanville, Texas on September 10th.
Bishop Sycamore became the topic of national attention earlier this week after he reportedly lied to ESPN about having talented Division I candidates on its list to take on national television against Florida’s IMG Academy, ranked No. 2 in the country by Max Preps’ school , to play .
The Ohio School was blown out by the Florida powerhouse 58-0 in a game that was so bad that the broadcasters actually had to apologize to the fans who were watching Sunday afternoon.
“Bishop Sycamore has told us that they have a number of candidates for Division I on their list, and to be honest we haven’t been able to verify a lot of them,” ESPN announcer Anish Schroff said on the program. “They did not appear in our database, they did not appear in the databases of other recruiting services”,
After the game, Schroff tweeted that Bishop Sycamore had “no business” playing the IMG Academy and that he felt bad for the children, who were clearly inferior.
We’re sorry. They had nothing to do with being in that game today. None. I feel sorry for the children. The health and safety of the players was at risk today. It was uncomfortable for anyone watching. https://t.co/Eq39vdywLm

So far, Duncanville has no plans to change its schedule, but given the reaction to Bishop Sycamore’s final game, the Texas-based school could be looking for a new opponent by next Friday.
Duncanville has a 45-3 defeat against the California Mater Dei, the No. 1 Max Preps school in the country, behind them.
