A New Chapter for the Blazers
The Bethesda Academy football program is entering its 22nd season under the steady guidance of coach Antwain Turner, a tenure that has already delivered a South Carolina Independent School Association Class 2A championship last year.
The Blazers are now stepping up to the SCISA Class 3A division, bringing with them a roster that blends returning standouts with a wave of promising transfers.
Among the newcomers, quarterback Jordan Turner, Antwain’s own son, will look to build on a sophomore campaign that saw him throw for 2,134 yards and 34 touchdowns. Joining him on the offensive side are Devrin Davis and his brother Dezrin Davis, both expected to add depth at skill positions.
Defensively, linebacker Isaiah Jones earned All‑Greater Savannah first‑team honors last season with 91 tackles and five sacks, and he will anchor a unit hoping to tighten up against stronger competition.
Key Players to Watch
Jordan Turner’s dual‑threat ability, Isaiah Jones’s pass‑rushing prowess, and the Davis brothers’ versatility are among the storylines that will dominate early‑season matchups.
The coaching staff has set the tone with a motto of ‘The Gold Standard,’ a phrase that encapsulates the team’s ambition to capture another state crown while fostering cross‑town rivalries with Savannah Christian and Savannah Country Day.
With 51 players on the roster, the largest in program history, the Blazers are optimistic that depth and experience will translate into another title run.
Looking Ahead
The schedule promises a series of tests against traditional powers, but the coaching staff believes the blend of talent and chemistry will keep the team competitive as they chase another championship.
