Storyline

Edit

Prep takes place in the 70's. Wagner is trying to receive a basketball scholarship so that he may attend college. But McCormick has many conflicts with Wagner throughout the movie. Racial tension is high as Glen is one of the only four African Americans in the whole school. There is tension between the basketball team and the hockey team. —Christopher Brian Barrette <cbarrett@neca.com>

Best movie never seen.

I truly enjoyed this movie during it's debut in theaters. I actually saw it four times when it was in theaters. Academy Boyz was not only very entertaining, but a clean, wholesome, family friendly picture. It can not find this movie anywhere online, dvd, or video. There is barely any evidence of this movie's existence! This is very disappointing because it was really a great film. Great storyline, great plot, and very relatable. I hope that some day this film will be re-released for the public to enjoy.
