  This past Saturday, October 3rd, the Benedictine Cadets Sport Shooting team competed in our third qualifier of the year at Forest City Gun Club. Unfortunately, the weather won the day. Lightning cut the qualifier short, and more than half of our Cadets couldn't finish the 200-clay event. Even so, our coaches were proud to see the Cadets compete and post some very impressive scores before the event was called.

  Cadets Take Top Honors at GIAA State Qualifier

  8/29/2026
  It was a long, grinding Saturday at Forest City Gun Club, but when the final targets were broken and the scores were tallied, only one team stood at the top. Benedictine Military School’s Sport Shooting team fired an impressive 897/1000 team HOA to capture TOP HONORS at the GIAA State Qualifier, holding off a determined Savannah Christian squad and 12 other regional teams to take the win!

  GIAA competition demands excellence across Trap, Skeet, and Sporting Clays, with each school’s top five HOA shooters determining the team score. There’s nowhere to hide — every target matters, and consistency is everything.
   Senior Captain Lucas McKenzie led the charge with a stellar 183/200.

      Sophomore Jacob Butler — 182/200
      Junior Matthew Boyer — 180/200
      Senior Captain Chaz Palmer — 176/200
      Sophomore Chip Klein — 176/200
  

  Those five shooters combined for the 897/1000 championship score.

  But championships aren’t won on five shooters alone — they’re won with depth, and the Cadets have quietly built plenty of it. Freshman Caleb Vo fired a 175/200, while Senior Owen Washburn and Junior Grady McKenzie each posted 172/200.

  All three finished just outside Benedictine’s scoring five. And incredibly, each of those scores would have cracked the Top 5 at every other school in the field.

  That’s not just a good team. That’s DEPTH.

  From veteran leadership at the top to talented young shooters coming up fast, the Cadets are building a program that can compete today — and for years to come.

  The Cadets will take on 2–3 more GIAA State Qualifiers before the season reaches its grand finale at the GIAA State Championship in late October.

  The targets are waiting. The competition is coming. The Cadets are locked, loaded, and ready. 

  GO CADETS!
