  • 7th Consecutive Championship for the Lacrosse Cadets

    Benedictine closed out its regular season in an emphatic fashion Tuesday night, blanking Country Day 15-0 on Senior Night. The Cadets controlled the game from the opening faceoff, dictating tempo on both ends and overwhelming their opponent with constant pressure. Even with a seventh straight area championship already secured, Benedictine approached the matchup with urgency, intent on tightening things up and finishing the regular season at a higher standard before the playoffs. 
    That urgency showed early, as the Cadets surged to a 5-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. Any remaining suspense disappeared in the final seconds of the period, when Benedictine added two goals in the last nine seconds to put the game out of reach and set the tone for the rest of the night. 
    Benedictine finished with 15 goals while holding Country Day to just eight total shots, a complete effort on both ends of the field. Nine Cadets found the back of the net, with four players scoring multiple goals. Cooper Callejas recorded a hat trick, all within a 15-minute stretch, while Mac Headley led the offense with five assists and added a goal. In goal, Reef Leonard was exceptional, stopping all eight shots he faced to secure the shutout. 
    “We were sharing the rock and seeing the field really well, and with our attack, we were just moving it quick,” White said. “And then you gotta give a shoutout to our defense with the shutout.” Along with the rivalry win, the night carried added meaning because of Benedictine’s senior night tradition honoring the legacy of Ricky McAllaster, a key figure in the founding of the BC lacrosse program who passed away in 2011. 
    Each year, the senior who wears No. 10 passes the jersey to a rising senior, continuing a tradition built on leadership and brotherhood. This year, Wyatt Estabrook passed the No. 10 jersey to Hobie Leonard. 
    “Hobie’s humble, but he’s an attacker on defense. He leads quietly, and the people around him trust him. He’ll be heard, and with the way he plays, he’ll be followed and trusted as a leader,” Estabrook said. “As a player, he’s spectacular, and I think he’ll be an even better leader.”  Leonard now steps into a key leadership role for next season as both a captain and a standard-setter for the program. 
    “It’s a huge honor, carrying the number 10 with me and the tradition of everyone that’s come before me,” Leonard said. “It’s a big role, but I think I’m gonna step up to it. I’ve gotten to sit behind Wyatt for two years and see what real leadership looks like. I think it’s made a difference in how I carry myself and how I lead others, but there’s a lot to step up to.”
    Benedictine now turns its focus to the Georgia High School Association state playoffs, carrying momentum from a dominant regular-season finish.

  • Cadets Honored by the Greater Savannah Hall of Fame

    Two standout student-athletes from Benedictine Military School will be recognized among the region’s elite at the 2026 ceremony hosted by the Greater Savannah Athletic Hall of Fame on Monday, May 4, at the Alee Shriners Temple.
    Senior quarterback Stephen Cannon has been named the recipient of the prestigious Lawton M. Calhoun Award, presented annually to the Overall High School Athlete of the Year. Cannon delivered a stellar season on the gridiron, throwing for 2,266 yards and 26 touchdowns with just four interceptions, while adding 625 rushing yards and nine scores. He led the Cadets to the Class 4A state title game and earned Region 1-4A Offensive Player of the Year honors, along with All-State recognition.
    A true multi-sport talent, Cannon also excelled in track and field, helping Benedictine capture state championships in the 4x100 and 4x200 relay events, and contributed on the basketball court. He has signed with Texas Tech Red Raiders and enrolled early.
    Joining Cannon in the spotlight is senior midfielder Asher Herrin, who has been named Soccer Player of the Year. A three-year letterman, Herrin has tallied 14 goals and three assists through the first 12 matches of his senior campaign. Known for his relentless effort and leadership, he has been a key figure in Benedictine’s postseason success during his varsity career.
    “Herrin is a playmaker and workhorse in the midfield,” said head coach Charlie Moore, praising his captain’s impact and consistency.
    The honors mark a fitting milestone for Cannon and Herrin, who first shared recognition as co-recipients of the Dewitt Award as eighth graders. Years later, both athletes now cap off decorated high school careers with some of Savannah’s highest athletic honors.

    From Chatham County to the national stage — the Cadets are soaring!
    Congratulations to these outstanding young men. Their future is bright!

  • The Honor to Wear #10 Lacrosse

    Even at Benedictine Military School, an institution as steeped in tradition and brotherhood as BC, perhaps no tradition is as meaningful as BC lacrosse’s #10.
    At Benedictine Military School, the number 10 is far more than a jersey — it is a legacy. For the past 13 years and counting, a Benedictine lacrosse captain has worn #10 during his senior season to honor the late Ricky McAllaster, who tragically passed away during his freshman year in 2010. His memory lives on not only in name, but in the standard of leadership, character, and brotherhood that each recipient is called to uphold.
    There is no greater embodiment of the connectivity and lifelong brotherhood that defines Benedictine than this tribute. Each player entrusted with #10 represents continuity — a living link between past, present, and future Cadets — and carries with him the trust of the McAllaster family and the expectations of all who wore it before.
    This year, the honor belongs to Wyatt Estabrook. “I am thankful for every #10 that came before me, who set the standard and most importantly thankful for Mr. and Mrs. McAllaster for their trust in me. I am forever proud and honored to carry on such an important and present legacy. This is one of the most important honors in my entire life,” Wyatt said.
    Since 2013, the recipients of Benedictine Lacrosse’s #10 tradition are:
    2013 — Hunter Hebert
    2014 — Dustin White
    2015 — Connor Dewitt
    2017 — Drew Tison
    2018 — Madison Phillips
    2019 — Aidan Coleman
    2020 — Michael Mowers
    2021 — Cal Bowers
    2022 — Kyen Argentinis
    2023 — Charlie Iannone
    2024 — Riley Wilson
    2025 — Walker Groves
    2026 — Wyatt Estabrook
    Through every season, every captain, and every brotherhood formed on the field, the meaning of #10 remains constant: remembrance, leadership, and the unbreakable bond of Benedictine.

  • Rifle Team Hopes for State Title

    The Benedictine Military School rifle team continued its impressive postseason run Tuesday night, defeating Woodward Academy 1128–1107 in the GHSA Riflery Sectionals.
    Entering the match as the No. 4 seed from Area 3, the Cadets traveled to Atlanta to face the Area 8 No. 3 seed on an unfamiliar range. Despite the long road trip and new surroundings, Benedictine delivered its highest match score in the past eight years.
    Junior Logan Price led the way with an outstanding 286. He was backed by Cooper Winters (283), Briggs Garletts (280), and Matthew Taylor, who posted a 279 — a personal record performance.
    With the victory, the Cadets advance to the semifinals of the GHSA Riflery Tournament. They will face the winner of the matchup between Clarke Central High School (No. 5 seed, Region 4) and Carrollton High School (No. 2 seed, Region 7).
    The semifinal match is scheduled for March 4, with the state championship set for March 14 at Ware County High School.
    The Cadets’ record-setting performance signals strong momentum as they continue their pursuit of a state title.

  • Cadets Headed into Region Basketball Tournament

    It has been a tough season for the Cadets’ basketball team, largely due to overlapping GHSA schedules. With basketball officially beginning on October 20, many players were still competing in football well into mid-December. As a result, the Cadets opened the season 2–8 through December while working to find their rhythm.
    Since then, the team has shown steady growth, playing competitive games throughout region play and finding its footing at the right time. Now, the Cadets face a big challenge as they take on Ware, the No. 1 seed in Region 1-AAAA, in the region quarterfinals on Wednesday, February 11 at Warner Robins at 8:30 PM. In their first meeting, the Cadets fell 46–71, but the second matchup told a very different story, with Ware edging out a hard-fought six-point win.
    Despite having no seniors on the roster, this young team is fueled by strong junior leadership and growing confidence. With the state playoffs set to begin February 24, the Cadets are peaking when it matters most.
    Go Cadets!!
