Our 2026 football season came to a close Friday night with a 55-7 loss to St. Ignatius. We had a great season with a 7-4 overall record, a 5-1 conference record, and second place in the Upstate Eight West Conference. Thank you, fans for being part of a great season.

Cadets had a thrilling come from behind win to advance to Friday's Sectional Final. Down 2-0 with less than 2 minutes remaining in the game our Cadets score 2 goals to force OT. We then score in the 1st OT to defeat Dunlap 3-2! What a finish! See you all Friday! Go CADETS!
