You’ve seen the memes. Now, you can get ready to see the movie about one of the craziest sports stories in recent memory.
SMAC Entertainment is starting work on a documentary about Bishop Sycamore, the Columbus, Ohio “high school” that made it onto ESPN although it doesn’t have a fixed address and had a football team made up mostly of junior college dropouts.

Yes, this is a real thing.
Bishop Sycamore lost to prep school powerhouse IMG Academy 58-0 on Aug. 29 in a game that was televised on ESPN — the program’s second game in three days.
The program isn’t recognized by the Ohio High School Athletic Association and Johnson has an outstanding warrant for several charges.
What a time.
