Wake Forest Sets the Stage for Exhibition Against Georgetown

Family Weekend showcases new roster talent and community activities

Wake Forest’s men’s basketball team will host Georgetown in a pre‑season exhibition at the Joel Coliseum on October 4 at 12:30 PM, kicking off the school’s Family Weekend with a slate of activities for fans of all ages. The event offers free admission for children under 12 and for season ticket holders, creating a welcoming atmosphere for families.

Family Weekend Highlights Community Engagement

The Demon Deacons enter the matchup with a revamped roster that blends experience and fresh talent. Guard Isaac Carr returns alongside newcomers Kevair Kennedy, Antonio Dorn, Lukas Bojovic, Justin Ray, Jamari McDowell, Ring Nyeri, Xander Pintelon and the twin freshmen Gavin Placide and Gallagher Placide, who are expected to make an immediate impact.

Georgetown, still rebuilding after losing three of its five starters to transfers and eligibility expiration, faces additional hurdles. Guard KJ Lewis suffered a season‑ending ankle injury and has already transferred to USC, leaving the Hoyas to rely on newcomers such as Jaland Lowe, Elmarko Jackson and Vyctorius Miller, who will aim to strengthen the squad for the 2026‑27 campaign.

Tickets for the exhibition are priced at $10, while the surrounding LJVM Coliseum will host additional family‑friendly activities that extend the weekend’s community spirit.
