  A Night of Firsts: Cadets Knock Off Camden County, 27-23

  9/5/2026
  It was an exciting night for the Cadets and their fans. In a game packed with big plays, the Cadets stunned visiting Camden County, 27-23, for a statement non-region win.

  The victory marked the first time since 2000 (72 games) that a Savannah team had defeated the Wildcats. And fittingly, it was the Cadets who had also delivered that win 26 years ago.

  Coach Britt added another piece of tradition to the night by bringing a concept from his playing days at GSU to the Cadets. Each week, Britt and his staff will select a player to wear No. 0 in recognition of outstanding effort in the previous game and during practice. Senior running back Stanley Smart Jr. earned the honor after turning in a career performance against Hebron Christian the previous week, rushing for 192 yards. Smart swapped his familiar No. 5 for No. 0 and carried that recognition into one of the biggest games on the Cadets’ schedule. But Smart wasn’t the only Cadet making history.

  Sophomore kicker Parker DiTomasso, who also stars for the Cadets’ soccer team, stepped onto the football field for his first career field-goal attempt—and calmly drilled it from 42 yards out. With just 17 seconds left in the first half, DiTomasso split the uprights, giving the Cadets another huge momentum boost.

  Then, with 2:48 remaining and the Cadets clinging to a one-point margin, DiTomasso delivered again.

  This time, the sophomore connected from 23 yards to put the Cadets ahead by four and send the home crowd into another celebration. DiTomasso also recorded his first career tackle when he helped bring down FSU-bound senior Sean Green, who nearly broke loose on a kickoff return that could have changed the game.

  The Cadets’ defense had plenty of work to do against a Camden County offense that runs its Wildcat attack as well as anyone. But after halftime, the Cadets adjusted—and shut the door when it mattered most.

  “They run that Wildcat stuff so well, and I thought (defensive coordinator) Coach (Galen) Houston did a great job making adjustments at the half,” Coach Britt said. “Our guys played smart, played physical, and got after it.”

  The victory was a major non-region win for the Cadets, particularly with the GHSA using power rankings to determine playoff positioning. The Cadets will have next Friday off before traveling to Statesboro on Friday, Sept. 18.

  Their next home game is Oct. 3, when they will host Evans at Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

  A Different Friday - A Different Statement

  8/29/2026
  The Cadets didn’t just bounce back—they roared back. After the sting of a loss to Toombs County, Benedictine returned to its home field Friday night with something to prove. From the opening whistle, the Cadets played with the fire, confidence and toughness that have made them one of the teams to fear.

  Standing in their way was Hebron Christian, the two-time defending Class A-3A Private School champion. 

  Benedictine came out sizzling and never let up, rolling to a commanding victory and sending a message that the Cadets are very much back in the fight.

  Senior quarterback Omari Burse saved his best for the biggest moment. With poise and confidence, Burse put together the finest night of his career behind center, firing four touchdown passes. Twice, he found Purdue-bound senior Eron Mallard for the end zone, and twice more he connected with senior Cole Henderson for touchdowns. Virginia Tech-committed senior Stanley Smart Jr. was setting the tone on the ground. Smart punched in two rushing touchdowns, bringing the physicality and energy that fueled the Cadets from the start.

  This wasn’t just a win.

  It was a response.

  It was pride.

  It was Benedictine reminding everyone exactly who they are—and why, when Friday nights arrive and the postseason draws closer, the Cadets will always be a team to watch.

  Benedictine (1-1) is set to host Camden County (2-0), which beat Glynn Academy 42-13, in a non-region game on Friday, September 4, at Memorial Stadium at 7:30 PM.

• Opening Loss Work Ahead

  8/22/2026
  Benedictine was in a bit of trouble early in the Cadets game with visiting Toombs County on Friday night as Omari Burse got ready to punt on the Cadets first possession from their 26-yard line.

  The senior's punt went up high into a strong headwind that stopped it at its peak and when the ball hit the turf it took a hard bounce back about 20 yards toward the Cadet line of scrimmage.

  It looked like Burse might have a chance to down his own punt, but Bulldog junior Nick Carroll was there to snatch the ball and turn for a 25-yard sprint to the goal line for an unlikely punt return that set the tone for the disappointing night for the Cadets.

  Toombs County took the lucky break and then proceeded to throttle Benedictine in a 58-21 non-region victory at Memorial Stadium.
  The Bullodgs, who reached the Class A Division I finals last year, where they lost to Worth County 17-13, dominated in every phase of the game. Senior running back Donterrius Mincey, who has committed to play at Georgia State, ran for 166 yards and 19 carries with all four of his touchdowns coming in the first half. He was picking up big yardage going straight up the middle on nearly all of his carries. 
  Senior quarterback Joseph Owens was 13 of 15 passing for 243 yards with a 66-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Stevens, who took a screen in the flat and sprinted home untouched. Stevens had five catches for 112 yards and Carroll, whose offers include Georgia and Alabama, had four receptions for 71 yards.
  The Cadets rushed for 87 yards, led by senior Stanley Smart Jr., who had 60 yards on 15 carries. Quarterback Omari Burse ran for a pair of touchdowns and was 4 of 14 passing for 111 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown to Eron Mallard at the end of the first half. 
  

  Benedictine coach Danny Britt told his squad he loved them, but didn't mince words when evaluating their performance in the Cadets season opener.

  "That was a butt kicking," he told the team gathered on the field around him after the game. "I knew they could beat us, but I wouldn't have thought in a million years they would beat us like that. But we're going to get back to work and figure out a way to get better. We didn't play physical tonight, and we weren't in shape and ready to play ― and that's on me. We'll get back to practice and get back to work on Monday."

  Benedictine vs Toombs, August 21 at 7:30 PM, Memorial Stadium
  Toombs County was the 2024 champion and 2025 runner-up in Class A Division I. Now in Class 3A, the Bulldogs have their most talented team. Nick Carroll, a defensive back/wide receiver, and Jamarcus Johnson, a defensive lineman, are consensus top-100 national recruits. The senior class includes defensive back Alex Scott (committed to N.C. State), linebacker Kareem Palmer (Auburn), running back Donterrius Mincey (Georgia State) and lineman Nick Frazier (Colorado State). Benedictine hasn’t lost to an opponent from a lower classification since 2020, when Appling County beat the Cadets. Benedictine must replace its six leading tacklers and two-year starting quarterback Stephen Cannon, now at Texas Tech. The new quarterback is Omari Burse, a UAB baseball commit. The most heavily recruited players are Stanley Smart (Virginia Tech) and Eron Mallard (Purdue), both multifaceted athletes who had more than 1,000 yards from scrimmage on last season’s Class 4A runner-up team.

  BC Football Reloads with State Title Hopes

  8/11/2026
  Entering his 16th season at the helm, Danny Britt has transformed Benedictine football into something few programs ever become — a perennial powerhouse where rebuilding is rarely part of the conversation.

  At Benedictine, they reload.

  Year after year, new talent steps onto the field, the expectations remain sky-high. After playing just three regular-season home games at Memorial Stadium last season, Benedictine will welcome opponents to Savannah for seven home games this year. The Cadets also enter a new-look Region 1-5A packed with familiar challenges, including Ware County and Wayne County, along with Jenkins, Statesboro, Evans, Richmond Academy and Groves.

  And Britt isn't scheduling any warm-up acts. Benedictine opens the season at home against Toombs County, last year’s Class A Division I State Runner-up. Then come two more heavyweight tests: Hebron Christian, the reigning Class A-3A Private School champion, followed by Camden County.

  Last season, Benedictine proved on the biggest stage that it belonged among Georgia’s best, battling Creekside in the state championship game. That memory still fuels the program.

  “The way we played against Creekside in the finals last year showed we can play with anyone — we're always going to be in the fight,” Britt said.

  But championships don't carry over from one season to the next.

  The names change. The faces change. The pressure doesn't.

  “This is a new group with a lot of different players — and they know they've got to go out and win it,” Britt said. That is the challenge waiting for the Cadets. Win it all!

• SMN "Games to Watch"

  7/22/2026
  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.
