  The Georgia high school football season is set to kick off in mid-August, and teams across the state will face a new slate of opponents as the Georgia High School Association's latest reclassification takes effect for the next two seasons. One of the biggest local changes sees Benedictine's Cadets moving up to Class AAAAA, where they'll take on a different region schedule and new rivals. As anticipation builds for the 2026 season, the Savannah Morning News has highlighted several marquee matchups that fans should keep an eye on this fall. 

  August 21 7:30 PM - Toombs County at Benedictine (Memorial Stadium)
  The Class A Division I state runnerup comes to town to face Benedictine, which lost to Creekside in the Class 4A state finals last year.
  August 28 7:30 PM - Hebron Christian at Benedictine (Memorial Stadium)
  Tough non-region slate continues for the Cadets who host the reigning Private School state champions.
  September 4 7:30 PM - Camden County at Benedictine (Memorial Stadium)
  This is the sixth meeting in the history of the two vaunted programs. Camden County leads the series 5-1 and won the last matchup 56-6 in 2011, which was Danny Britt's first year leading the Cadet program. BC beat Camden County 9-7 in 2000.
  October 9 7:30 PM -  Jenkins at Benedictine (Memorial Stadium)
  The teams are competing in the same region once again as both have landed in Region 1-5A. BC is coming off a run to the Class 4A state finals and Jenkins reached the Class 3A state quarters last year. The Cadets lead the overall series 45-11 and have won the last three meetings. Jenkins last win was a 34-9 victory in 2019 when the Warriors made a run to the Class 3A state semis.
  November 6  7:30 PM - Benedictine at Ware County
  Schedule makers were spot on making this the final regular season game in Region 1-5A as it could decide the region title. The series started in 2020 and the teams have split the games, trading off wins each year. Last season, BC beat the Gators on the road 30-27 in a game that decided the Region 1-4A title.
