The question had to be asked after Benet won conference
championships in baseball, boys’ basketball, boys’ and girls’ cross country,
football, boys’ soccer, girls’ tennis, boys’ and girls’ track, and boys’
volleyball. The hockey team won the
Kennedy Cup, the football team advanced to the state Class 7A Semifinals, the
boys’ basketball team advanced to the 4A Sectional, the boys’ soccer team
reached the 3A Sectional Semifinals, and the girls’ volleyball team, which
finished third in the East Suburban Catholic Conference, won the 4A State
Championship. Benet also produced 53
All-Conference athletes, 9 ESCC Coach of the Year awards, 14 ESCC Player of the
Year awards, and 5 Naperville Sun All-Area football players. Pat McInerney was named Naperville Sun Area Basketball
Player of the Year, and Sean O’Mara was an Honorable Mention for the All-State
Basketball Team. Approximately 40 Benet
graduates will play athletics at the collegiate level.
Six football players will play in college. Junior QB Jack Beneventi still has to wait two more years until he steps on to a Division I field, though.
The football and volleyball seasons will be particularly hard acts to follow, but we all forward to the start of next season. Go Redwings!
