High school football national powerhouse
IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) opened the 2021 season by beating
Bishop Sycamore (Columbus) 58-0, setting off a wave of scrutiny that led to the end of the ill-fated Ohio program.
Friday night in Florida, IMG Academy handed out a beating that makes the Bishop Sycamore outcome look charitable. The Ascenders, ranked No. 10 nationally this week by MaxPreps, piled up 96 unanswered points against
West Toronto Prep (Ontario, Canada) – in the first half.
The lopsided contest was called off at halftime with IMG Academy (7-1) leading 96-0.
In its last four games, IMG Academy has outscored opponents 254-0. Why the Ascenders had West Toronto Prep (0-6) on the schedule to begin with is tough to figure out. The Canadian program not only hasn't won a game this season, it has only scored six points while allowing 195, including a 61-0 loss against McDowell (Erie, Pa.) on Oct. 14 followed by a 55-0 loss to McCallie (Chattanooga, Tenn.) a week later.
Let's go to Twitter for reaction to Friday's obscene final score.
