    Dreams do come true

    Benedictine's Connor Ferguson announced Monday that he has committed to the University of Georgia as a preferred walk on. Ferguson is ranked No. 7 in the nation in the Kohl's Kicking rankings and is No. 1 in Georgia.
    "I've been a Georgia fan since I was in kindergarten, and when I got to visit there and just loved the atmosphere, the school and the facilities — I mean, what's not to love. I developed a really strong relationship with the coaches there and that meant a lot. You could say this is a dream come true for me."
    Ferguson said he thinks he'll have a chance to compete for the kickoff job right away, and he hopes to earn a full scholarship as he continues to develop as a Bulldog. An 'A' student, Ferguson said he plans to major in aerospace or aeronautical engineering with a path toward aviation.

  • Jones Hits 2000

     
    Caleb Jones is truly an exceptional player; his 2000-point achievement is a testament to his talent and dedication. His ability to thrive under pressure, even when facing double or triple teams, reflects his high basketball IQ and maturity on the court. His versatility and adaptability allow him to adjust his play to counter different defenses, a skill that distinguishes the greats from the good.
    It's also inspiring to see Caleb prioritize his team over individual success. That mindset strengthens his leadership role and elevates the performance of those around him, making him a well-rounded and impactful player both on and off the court.
    Let's support the team on Friday, January 31st, as the Cadets take on region opponent Warner Robins at 7:30 PM with the JV at 6:00 PM.  It's a great opportunity to celebrate Caleb’s milestone, Senior Night, and the team’s hard work! The Cadets can host the Region Tournament with a first place finish in the regular season. Every game counts toward that goal! Hosting the region tournament can bring several advantages, such as boosting the team's home-field advantage, increasing school spirit and community involvement, and offering the chance to showcase our facilities. Go Cadets!
