IMG Academy faced West Toronto Prep on Friday.
Not sure how the game came to be because it was a mismatch of epic proportions.
How epic? How about 96-0 at halftime when it was mercifully called?
And if you want to use this as a math lesson, here is how IMG got to 96.

West Toronto Prep is 0-6 and has been outscored 291-6.
Seems like West Toronto Prep might be the 2022 version of Bishop Sycamore. And no one bothered to research this at a nationally ranked school like IMG?
West Toronto Prep lists a public park as its address. It hasn’t won a game all year. Big time Bishop Sycamore vibes and yet here we are again with @IMGAcademy @IMGAFootball in on the grift once again. https://t.co/qwtz0Vsl00

Pennlive.com did a story on West Toronto Prep, and the supposed challenges it faced since the pandemic, in September:
“In our earlier years, it wasn’t as much of a headache. We would sort of just play babysitter on the road,” said WTP head coach and program Co-founder O’Neil Wilson, who doubles as the team’s offensive coordinator and coach of wide receivers and running backs.
“Being an immersive program, though, it’s about getting them the true experience of being a true student-athlete and being on the road, staying in a hotel, and still getting the grades. Our guys are tested and it’s about mentorship for our coaches. We’re here to prepare them for university.”Wilson played at Toronto’s Central Technical School and eventually the University of Connecticut as a wide receiver. He spent seven years in the Canadian Football League.
Assistant head coach and defensive coordinator Dwayne Mundle is a former safety and linebacker at West Virginia who lasted 10 seasons in the CFL.
I’m from Toronto, and I NEVER heard of “West Toronto Prep” in my life. It’s definitely a fake school.
This might be Bishop Sycamore all over again. https://t.co/RgpoAI27RU

The $30,000/year school founded in 2009 was close to gaining five athletes from Ohio, and one each from California and Alabama, in 2020 before the pandemic closed the U.S.-Canada border.
“There are obstacles we face, sure. Chemistry is our battle,” Wilson told Pennlive.com. “We want to make the model more like American’s top schools, where you have junior high programs aligned. It’s just patience. But we play with pride and toughness.”
