  Connor Ferguson ranked as No. 1 kicker in Georgia

  9/4/2024
  With the typical sideline chaos of a high school football game all around him, Benedictine's Connor Ferguson is always a picture of calm within the storm. His career-long 50-yard field goal against Burke County was the latest in a long line of big-time plays for Ferguson, who is ranked No. 1 in Georgia and No. 7 in the nation in the Kohl's National Kicker Rankings. He is 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts this season, with another blast from 48 yards in a season-opening loss to Rabun County, while converting all 11 of his PAT tries. He has forced touchbacks on 11 of his 17 kickoffs, while averaging 44 yards with his high-flying, booming punts. Ferguson has offers from Valdosta State, Arkansas State, and Murray State, but has the potential to be a Power-Five player. Pack the stands as Ferguson and the Cadets host Westminster at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 20 at Memorial Stadium.

  Benedictine's Micah Williams, a standout defensive back with offers from Georgia Tech and North Carolina, showed he can play a little offense too. He had two touches on the night ― catching a 38-yard scoring pass from Cannon on another pass in the flat where he made a man miss in route to the end zone, and taking a reverse 50 yards around the right end to set up a 4-yard scoring run by Bubba Frazier in the first quarter. 
  

  Senior kicker Connor Ferguson connected on a career best 50-yard field goal and added a chip in from 23 yards, while converting all four of his PAT attempts.

• BC Playing One of the Toughest Schedules in the Country

  8/12/2024
  Benedictine was designated to drop down a classification to play in Class 3A after the GHSA's most recent realignment, but BC appealed to stay up in Class 4A and was placed in Region 1-4A, considered by many to be the toughest in the state. BC will compete with defending Class 4A champion Perry, along with Ware County (2022 5A state champion), Warner Robins (2020 and 2021 5A state champion), Wayne County and local rival New Hampstead.
  

  And the non-region schedule is also rugged with Rabun Gap-Nacoochee, Burke County and Westminster on the docket along with road games at Buford (2020 and 2021 6A state champions) and Archbishop Moeller, a powerhouse from Cincinnati, Ohio.

  The schedule has been ranked as the third toughest in the nation and the most difficult in Georgia by Calpreps.com. The Cadets open their season Saturday, Aug. 7 in playing in the Erk Russell Classic at Georgia Southern against Rabun Gap-Nacoochee, which went 13-1 last year. Britt said he is looking forward to the opener after a strong showing in the scrimmage with Camden County Friday.
