Moncks Corner – The 2025/26 was a special one for the St. John’s Christian Cavaliers boys basketball team as they finished the year at 20-10 which was their first 20 win season since 2013 and they received a bye in the first round of the SCISA AAA state basketball tournament.
Head coach Bob Winters about the season, “We thought we would have a pretty good ball club this year and we did. It didn’t turn out the way we planned but it was a good season.”
“Our six seniors played almost every minute this year and it is going to be hard to replace them.
It will be hard to replace them but we had a very good JV team so we expect to reload not rebuild next year. We had three players that we could have brought up but we wanted them to get game experience.”
