Tampa Bay Christian's boys basketball team, an 86-65 winner Tuesday night against district rival Cambridge Christian, is under formal investigation by the Florida High School Athletic Association.
FHSAA spokesman Corey Sobers confirmed the investigation, providing no further details. A call to the TBC athletic department wasn't immediately returned Wednesday.
The Rams (12-1), currently being coached by LSU and NBA alumnus Jerry "Ice" Reynolds, have at least four foreign-born players (two from Rwanda, two from the Bahamas) on their roster.
Those players are 6-foot-1, 6-6, 6-8 and 6-9. None were on the 2011-12 TBC roster provided to the MaxPreps high school sports website.
TBC has a long tradition of welcoming international students, who enroll with an I-20 -- or student visa -- document. Several members of the 2012 graduation class were from foreign countries.
