Benedictine senior football players star in final home game with playoff win

The Cadet upperclassmen led the way as Benedictine had a big-time performance to beat Whitewater 35-10 on Friday, Nov. 13. Benedictine improved to 9-2 on the season and will be on the road next week to face Jefferson (9-2) in a second round matchup on Friday, Nov. 20.

The Bulloch County Board of Education met Thursday, November 5, 2026, approving a major HVAC replacement project at Statesboro High School while recognizing student achievements and hearing updates on academic performance across the district. Board members unanimously approved a $6,369,389 guaranteed maximum price for the replacement of Statesboro High School's aging heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Pope Construction Company will manage the project, which includes replacing HVAC equipment, communication wiring, and control systems throughout the school. District officials said the existing system has continued to malfunction and has become obsolete. The project includes a $250,000 contingency, and officials explained that the final cost could be lower depending on actual expenses.
