Both teams particpate in the Georgia High School Association Air Riflery Area 3 division. This is the only sport the sister schools compete against each other.
James Thompson, the senior team captain, led the Cadets, who improved to 4-1, scoring 283 out of 300 to lead all shooters. Other BC shooters who qualified included sophomore Fischer Landon (277), junior Aidan Rachael (274), and freshman Cooper Winters (271), who also scored a personal-best score.
