  Basketball memories

  2/21/2025
  Although Benedictine Military School’s basketball team did not achieve the desired outcome in its final home game of the season, it provided another memorable opportunity for fans to watch an exceptional senior class compete one last time in front of a packed BC Gym. The sold-out crowd witnessed an intense, hard-fought battle as the Cadets took on Marist in the first round of the GHSA Class AAAA playoffs.

  Seniors Caleb Jones, Robert Leonard, and John Lilly have been the cornerstones of the BC basketball program, helping lead the team to unprecedented success over the past four years. Throughout their tenure, the Cadets claimed three region championships and advanced to two GHSA Class AAAA semifinals, achievements that set the standard for future teams.

  Beyond their accomplishments on the court, the character, work ethic, and leadership displayed by these players will leave a lasting legacy at BC. Jones, a four-year starter, has led the state in scoring (across all classifications) for the past two seasons. He will undoubtedly be remembered not only as one of the greatest basketball players in BC history but also as one of the most accomplished high school basketball players in Savannah’s history.
