  • 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!!

  • Football Signing Day for Josh Washington and Jojo Sutton

    Teammates Joshua Washington and Jojo Sutton shared plenty of unforgettable moments this season as the Cadets advanced to the Class 4A Football State Championship game. Now, the senior standouts are taking the next step in their football journeys.
    Washington signed to continue his career at the University of New Hampshire, while Sutton inked with Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte.
    “Both athletes are playmakers,” Head Coach Danny Britt said. “They poured everything they had into the season and were a big part of our success. Josh did a lot for us on offense, but (defensive coordinator Galen) Coach Houston always said safety might be his best position. He’s so versatile. Jojo matured a lot this season, became very physical, and was a real asset to the team.” Congratulations to two exceptional Cadets!
