Basketball Climbs to No. 17 in National Rankings

One week out from Christmas in the Greenie Dome, all is merry and bright with Christ School basketball. 

The undefeated Greenies (6-0) are winning games by an average of 21.5 points – incredibly notable because of who the team has played so far. Consequently, Christ School rose 13 spots to No. 17 in the regular-season’s first national rankings from MaxPreps and are No. 1 among all teams in North Carolina. 

The Greenies have a 15-game winning streak that dates back to last January. They are in Columbia, S.C., for a pair of games this upcoming weekend, starting Friday at Cardinal Newman (S.C.). 

Statistical leaders so far are N.C. State recruit Mikey Wilkins ’25 (13.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.2 steals per game), Dacen Petty ’26 (11.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg., and 2.5 assists per game), American recruit Madden Collins ’25 (10.7 ppg., 6.2 apg., 5.7 rpg., and 2.2 spg.), Tyler Jones ’26 (10.7 ppg. and 3.3. apg.), and Mason Collins ’28 (7.2 ppg. and 2.8 rpg.). 

Be sure to join us December 11 for Christmas in the Greenie Dome which begins at 6:30 p.m. This year’s opponent for the Silent Night Game is Gaston Day (6-2).
