RABUN GAP, Ga. – Christ School swimmers took first place in 10 events Friday, stacking up more than enough points to win the Rabun Gap (Ga.) Invitational over three other teams.

Events were swam in meters and not yards due to the size of the pool.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Finally, a breather.

Twelve different players scored Thursday night and after falling behind 4-0 to start the game, Christ School varsity basketball only allowed 11 more points in a 63-15 road win at Spartanburg Day.

High school basketball fans, the Greenie Dome is the place to be on Saturday, Dec. 9.

Christ School (5-1) has regained its spot as the No. 1 NCISAA team in the latest state rankings from Phenom Hoops just in time for the first-ever Asheville Classic showcase. 

Kaedin Robinson ’19 was only a Greenie for one year.

That’s all it took. And he is now having the same kind of impact at Appalachian State that he did at Christ School.

Save the post-Thanksgiving rustiness for some other basketball team. 

Christ School put four players in double figures Saturday and overcame a three-point halftime deficit to take a resounding 71-54 win over Concord Academy in the Charlotte Hoops Challenge.

Christ School’s best postseason run in six years has been rewarded with five players on the N.C. Soccer Coaches Association all-region team.

Brendan Regan ’24, James Mennell ’24, and Truett Compton ’25 were chosen for their defense, while Carter Compton ’24 made the team as a forward.

There is no denying that NCISAA Division I teams play some of the best football in North Carolina period, and three Christ School players stood out among their peers this fall.

Khalil Conley ’24 (defensive back), Cayden Jones ’24 (linebacker), and Sam Browder ’25 (offensive lineman) have been selected to the 24-man NCISAA Division I all-state team.

PFAFFTOWN, N.C. – Dawson Reeves ’24 didn’t want to psych out himself by looking at who else had entered Saturday’s New Balance Dash for Doobie.

It’s the other 273 runners who should have been worried.

CHARLOTTE – Most of the fans filing into Myers Park’s gym on Saturday night were there to see a different basketball game and caught some of Christ School-Chambers incidentally.

The Greenies gave them a show all the same.

CHARLOTTE – Winning ugly is still winning.

Coach Josh Coley began the process of returning championship basketball to Christ School in the summer of 2021.

But he couldn’t do it alone.

CHARLOTTE - Lleyton Thomas-Johnson ’24 is bona fide as a high riser and high achiever for Christ School basketball.

Lleyton was one of five winners of a $1,000 AFLAC Scholarship at Thursday’s banquet for the Phenom Hoops George Lynch Invitational.

CHARLOTTE – Christ School swimmers dove into the deep end in terms of competition with Thursday’s start to the 2023-24 season.

The results were encouraging, Coach Dr. Brent Harris reports.

Truett Compton ‘25 has some Thanksgiving Break plans in Virginia.

They involve soccer, of course.  

All-conference selections have been announced for the Western Football Conference that Christ School is part of along with Rabun Gap (Ga.), Metrolina Christian Academy, and Cannon School.

Alabama recruit Cayden Jones ’24 was voted Athlete of the Year by the league’s coaches after finishing his high school career with 283 tackles.

As of Friday, there are now 10 seniors from Christ School’s Class of 2024 who have committed to play college sports.

Christ School swimming has its first meet of the 2023-24 season Thursday in Charlotte. 

Christ School coach Josh Coley wore his big-game suit Friday night and the Greenies played up to that standard.

Keenan Wilkins ’24 lit up Legacy Early College (S.C.) for 24 points, Mikey Wilkins ’25 added 16 points, and Lleyton Thomas-Johnson ’24 had 12 in a 69-58 win that should reverberate regionally and nationally.

Players the caliber of Jamari Briggs ’24 can often be their own harshest critics.

The 6-foot-5 wing from Hartsville, S.C., was immediately going over things he could have done better in Friday night’s 69-58 home win over Legacy Early College (S.C.). His mood lightened up considerably when asked about being a Division I recruit.

Where there was a Wilkins, there was a way Tuesday night.

Cousins Keenan Wilkins ’24 and Mikey Wilkins ’25 always talked about what it would be like to be high school teammates. Christ School varsity basketball happens to be the benefactor of this long-awaited family reunion.
