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!!
