Cail is averaging 20 points per game with five rebounds, a team-leading four assists and team-leading three steals. In a 49-39 victory against Islands on Jan. 3, Cail scored a season-high 28 points on 10-of-23 shooting.

Calvary Day opened the season with a 58-38 victory against Bulloch Academy but lost to Hilton Head Christian (62-42) on Nov. 22 and Class 6A South Effingham (63-53) on Dec. 3. It then beat Islands (75-41), Liberty County (44-35), Johnson-Savannah (69-31), Groves (80-16) and Savannah (46-40).
