Senior leadership goes a long way. Like all the way, for the third consecutive season.
Madden Collins ’25 and Mikey Wilkins ’25 cemented themselves as all-time greats at Christ School with their individual production and team-first unselfishness, which trickled down to the rest of the 26-2 Greenies. Madden and Mikey were named to the NCISAA 4-A all-state team Friday, a first for Madden and repeat selection for Mikey.
Together, they ranked first or second in most offensive categories.
Mikey averaged team-highs in scoring (15.5 points per game), rebounding (8.3 rpg.), and blocks. Madden was the team leader in field-goal percentage (58 percent), free throw shooting (78 percent), assists (4.3 apg.), and steals (2.6 spg.) to go along with 13.6 points a night.
Madden (American University) and Mikey (N.C. State) made their college commitments in September, alleviating any pressure in that regard before their final seasons in Arden. Both stayed relatively healthy, though Madden was banged up in the state semifinals and played in the championship game (a 73-50 win over Carmel Christian on Feb. 22) with a black eye.
They are part of this weekend’s NCISAA All-Star Game in Charlotte along with Christ School’s coaching staff.
