GardenStateBaller Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Overall, the documentary is a hit piece on HC Roy Johnson. Soooo many facts and truths were intentionally left out by the creators to mold their predetermined narrative. For example, they labeled the school as "fake" without mentioning that it was actually registered with and approved by the Ohio Dept of Education. Plus, BS did have facilities. I actually toured them during my visit on 7/16/21. Met their landlord, Maureen O'Brien, who still runs the Resolute Athletic Complex on Chiller Lane to this day. They pretended that there was "mystery" surrounding the program when in fact most in the world of HSFB knew exactly who BS were and gladly scheduled them between 2018-2021. Also, it's comical that OHSAA and Paragon/ESPN, the two most agregious and complicit parties involved in this experience, refused to participate. Without their duplicitous inactivity, this documentary never happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GardenStateBaller Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 While most will tune-in to learn about the infamous IMG game that was played on ESPN in August 2021, it's covered very little in the documentary. 99% of it involves players and experiences that happened years prior and have absolutely no relationship to and with the game. One of the main characters was part of the team for less than two weeks! Also, it was never mentioned by the creators that every player on the 2021 BS roster was age-appropriate. Of all the players interviewed for the documentary only TWO were from the 2021 roster! They never even mentioned the fact that the same two teams played 10 months prior in Bradenton, FL when IMG beat BS 56-6 without any incident! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateBaller Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Additionally, many associated with the film bashed IMG as a football-only powerhouse that doesn't care about it's student-athletes with regards to their well-being and academics. This couldn't be further from the truth as IMG sends kids to the Ivy League in several sports annually, and offers the best of the best that money can buy. It was also ignored that IMG played 4x State Champ, Cincinnati LaSalle, five nights after the BS game and clobbered the Lancers 58-7. Note that Glenville OH is visiting IMG this season on 9/15/23. @DirkDigler The majority of the players featured in the film weren't even involved in the IMG game. Their stories mainly happened in the 2018-2019 time period before BS was even formed. And it's very apparent that at least two of the players present last night blatantly lied about their experiences portrayed in the film, especially regarding the PPP loan accusations. Complete lies! In the end Coach Roy is portrayed as the evil, villainous HC, while the players come across as the naive victims, which couldn't be further from the truth. Anyone could tell that this was the goal of the creators from Day One. In reality Roy has far more proponents than detractors. I was told by an insider that they even considered cutting the scenes when Roy got emotional to prevent him from gaining any viewer sympathy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateBaller Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Also, nobody brought up how BS had been media darlings leading up to the IMG game. Additionally, Jared Luginbill is most-likely related to ESPN personality, Tom Luginbill, who called the infamous IMG game. During the game Tom stated that he was unaware of any BS players with college offers. LOL I guess he never read his brethren's tweets!

GardenStateBaller Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Also, it was never mentioned how many elite, nationally-ranked teams clamored to schedule BS during its existence, including the four (4) blue-bloods from the state of Ohio. Massillon, St Ignatius, St Edward and Archbishop Hoban have 46 state championship football trophies combined all-time. They all proudly scheduled BS. St Ignatius even scheduled them three times!! LOL All in all, of the 31 games BS played during its existence, 12 were vs OH-based teams. In no way were they ever considered a "mystery" team. These are the facts that the creators omitted and were allergic to in order to craft their bombastic narrative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateBaller Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 In the end what the creators did extremely well was correctly note that no party ever profited from any of the players. Plus, they did a great job outlining the laws and loopholes that permitted all of this to legally occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateBaller Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Following are some of the documents that I forwarded during my "Match Maker" interview process. Of course, they were ignored as none of it matched their narrative. When I emailed all of these haters to challenge them, none responded as you would expect. I'm confident that the next BS documentary will be far more truthful, fair and balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Shay from Butler, PA left the worst one. To be continued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such lies....no one made any $$ and no pockets were ever lined. If that were the case, BS never would've been in the situation of constant financial distress! #LastChanceHigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateBaller Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 "Davis, like others who attended COF Academy, had a mixed experience. And though not everyone made it out of the season with a positive experience, Davis said his journey was worth the trouble." Can you guess why this former player wasn't invited to participate in the documentary? There are so many former players that mirror his opinion.

GardenStateBaller Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 Many of us feel this way. The producers cut and pasted four years worth of lies and misinformation to create their contrived and false narrative. 6'8" OL Greg attended BS for three seasons. Received interest from Ohio State, Clemson, Auburn, and Cincinnati among others. #fantasticlies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
