  • New track record for BC's 4x800m relay team

    The Cadets are having an incredible start to their track season! Dominating in sprints, distance, and field events is impressive, and it’s clear that the team has a lot of depth and talent. The 4x800m relay team's performance, in particular, is outstanding! Breaking the 2021 school record of 8:46.10 is a huge achievement, and the new time of 8:38.80 shows just how strong and fast they are. With athletes like John Dodson, William Hoffman, Tucker Hollis, and Cole Minnich on the relay team, they seem poised to continue improving and potentially break that new record again as the season progresses. It’s exciting to think what's ahead for the team as it has dominated the meets and definitely has the potential to keep raising the bar. The next meet is March 21 at Richmond Hill starting at 3 p.m. Congratulations to our record-setting relay team!

  • Basketball memories

    Although Benedictine Military School’s basketball team did not achieve the desired outcome in its final home game of the season, it provided another memorable opportunity for fans to watch an exceptional senior class compete one last time in front of a packed BC Gym. The sold-out crowd witnessed an intense, hard-fought battle as the Cadets took on Marist in the first round of the GHSA Class AAAA playoffs.
    Seniors Caleb Jones, Robert Leonard, and John Lilly have been the cornerstones of the BC basketball program, helping lead the team to unprecedented success over the past four years. Throughout their tenure, the Cadets claimed three region championships and advanced to two GHSA Class AAAA semifinals, achievements that set the standard for future teams.
    Beyond their accomplishments on the court, the character, work ethic, and leadership displayed by these players will leave a lasting legacy at BC. Jones, a four-year starter, has led the state in scoring (across all classifications) for the past two seasons. He will undoubtedly be remembered not only as one of the greatest basketball players in BC history but also as one of the most accomplished high school basketball players in Savannah’s history.
