Locke family a BC legacy for three generations

By Noell Barnidge
During Benedictine Military School's National Signing Day ceremony Feb. 5, BC Football Head Coach Mr. Danny Britt shared with those in attendance that 43 years ago, television sports reporter Mr. Rick Snow (formerly with WTOC and now with WJCL) covered Mr. Robert Mathew Locke's signing in BC Gym to attend Savannah State and play football, and 21 years ago, Mr. Snow covered Mr. Robert Leander Locke's signing to attend Georgia Southern and play football.

Wednesday, Mr. Snow was in BC Gym again to cover senior Trevon Locke's signing to attend Georgia Southern and play football. Trevon (BC Class of 2020) and his grandfather, Robert (BC Class of 1977), were interviewed by Mr. Snow. Trevon's father, Robert (BC Class of 1999), was working in Dallas and unable to attend.

We cheered for all three Lockes, as well as Mr. Snow. It was a special moment for Benedictine Military School, where tradition is treasured!
