West Oaks Academy, which has been on the basketball national rankings radar since it left the FHSAA 12 years ago, is looking to make a major step up in status this season.
The Flame, always a magnet for transfer talent as an independent school that can offer housing, hit the jackpot last week when four Division I college prospects from Broward County announced that they left a Florida High School Athletic Associatin state championship contender, Oakland Park Northeast, to enroll at West Oaks for the 2020-21 season.
The quartet includes twin 6-foot-9 sophomores Matt and Ryan Bewley, who are among the top 10th graders in the country.
