Limiting the next-best team in the Carolinas Athletic Association to 34 points Thursday came down to a matter of “care” for Christ School basketball. 

The Greenies hounded the ball relentlessly in their first home game of 2025. Everything they caused with their defense turned into offense. 

Five players reached double figures and an 11-0 lead to start turned into an 85-34 blowout of Asheville Christian Academy. 

Christ School swimming outscored three other teams and recorded 10 personal-record times in a meet Thursday at Charlotte Country Day. 

Some big news on this Friday for one Christ School alumnus. 

Aydan White ’20 announced on his Instagram that he is declaring for the NFL Draft!

Going up!

A continual weekly climb through the MaxPreps national rankings for Christ School varsity basketball happened again Tuesday, with a bombshell reserved for New Year’s Eve. 

The latest rankings have the Greenies checking in at No. 10. Historically, it is only the second time a Christ School basketball team has achieved a top-10 national ranking (the 2008-09 team was fifth in the final listing put together by Rivals.com). 

RALEIGH – Mikey Wilkins ’25 was minding his business off the ball Saturday. 

A Grace Christian player who was in motion put two hands on Mikey’s chest, giving him a shove that was enough to startle the 6-foot-9, 243-pound senior. 

No foul was called, but a response was given, and in the best way. 

Koen Booker ’27 and the Greenies are knocking on the top-10 of the latest MaxPreps national basketball rankings. 

Christ School (10-0) moved up two spots to No. 11 this week. 

Congratulations to William Hughes ’25 on his verbal commitment to run cross country and track for Sewanee: The University of the South. 

Swimming hosted and won Saturday’s Jingle Bell Splash meet at the Buncombe County Schools Aquatic Center. 

Christ School coach Josh Coley uses the adjective “spirited” a lot these days to describe workouts. 

He wasn’t sure how much energy his basketball team would have left for Wednesday’s Christmas in the Greenie Dome after a spirited round of conditioning the day before. And the intensity levels were where they needed to be Saturday after a spirited walkthrough for Davidson Day.  

Quite the class!

The first 17 seniors from the Class of 2025 who have made commitments to play college sports were celebrated with a ceremony Friday morning in Mebane Field House.

Christ School’s seniors walked off the field as winners in their final high school game on November 22. 

The good news has kept coming. 

There are now three Greenies who have committed to colleges since that epic 26-25 overtime win over Asheville School the week before Thanksgiving. 

Madden Collins ’25 saw a lot of familiar faces over the course of two days in Columbia, S.C., where he has grown up.  

Saturday was the first meet for Christ School swimming as a full team and it showed. 

Team captain Finley Sullivan ’25 talked about the ups and downs of college recruiting in his Senior Speech last month. 

Wednesday was the apex - Finley signed to play football for VMI on National Signing Day. 

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

Congratulations to Elijah Graziosi ’25, who has announced his verbal commitment to play lacrosse for Montreat College!

Still flying high after Friday, Christ School football has placed three players on this year's NCISAA Division I all-state team.

Christ School’s play calls for the final possession of regulation? Five runs by Jackson Cancel ’26. 

Overtime? More of No. 4. 

Jackson’s first touch of the extra time was a 10-yard run that he broke out wide, hurdling a defender to tie the game at 25-25. 

CHARLOTTE - Lack of ego and an abundance of talent make for a potent mix. 

An unbeatable one through five games, in fact. 

The Christ School Athletic Department is pleased to announce Gorham Bradley as the new Program Director and Head Coach for the golf program.
