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. 

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. 

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. 

History continues Friday when Christ School and Asheville School play "The Game" for the 98th time here at Fayssoux Field. 

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Asheville School Week Part 2!

As announced in his morning’s assembly, here are the theme days and notable events planned for the final week before Thanksgiving Break. It all culminates with next Friday’s 98^th playing of “The Game” between the Greenies and Asheville School, here at 7 p.m. 

November would normally mean the end of many football seasons at Christ School, but we play on!

November would normally mean the end of many football seasons at Christ School, but we play on!

The boys and the coaches know they have a gargantuan task on their hands Friday at Rabun Gap (Ga.) in the semifinals of the NCISAA Division I state playoffs. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

The Greenies and Eagles compete in the four-team Western Football Conference with Cannon School, and Metrolina Christian Academy. 

Cancel culture was in full effect Friday night. 

Jackson Cancel ’26 made all the right reads, spinning off would-be tacklers, and accelerating for one of the finest evenings any Christ School back has had in some time. 

Playoff football returns to Fayssoux Field next Friday. 

Football became something more than football these last four weeks for Christ School players and coaches. 

A game became an escape from the reality going on all around them. A field 100 yards long and 50 yards wide became a sanctuary from all the fallen trees, downed power lines, and displaced families. 

A late-November surprise!

Christ School and Asheville School have agreed to a makeup date for “The Game,” falling on the weekend that Thanksgiving Break begins. 

Browse the University of Tennessee’s webstore and you’ll find an endless supply of clothing and novelties – mostly in orange of course. 

Some new arrivals to the store could not be more personal to Charlie Browder ‘21. 

Friday was a nothing kind of night for Christ School opponents. 

Three wins, three shutouts. 

Fertile ground and then some. 

The eastern Tennessee city of Kingsport has given Christ School athletes such as John Fulkerson ’16, the Halvorsen brothers (Matt ’17 and Brad ’19), and the Browder brothers (Charlie ‘21 and Sam ’25). 

Like those other Greenies before him, Sam Browder will be playing his chosen sport at the next level. 

Calling all Ripple Makers!

Please come and join us Sept. 27-29 for Alumni Weekend which will include a kickoff celebration for Christ School’s 125th anniversary, “The Game” with Asheville School, alumni awards, and an induction of Coach Mike Knighton P’87 into the Athletic Hall of Fame.  

Seven boys from Christ School have committed to play college sports in the Ivy League since 2020, a testament to how the school balances athletics with its four pillars – Academic Rigor, Leadership, Spirituality, and the Dignity of Manual Labor. 

As of this week, a couple opportunities now exist for rising senior Dawson Thompson ’25 to follow the same path. 

CHAPEL HILL – Mason Holtzclaw ’27 makes reads and throws that other young quarterbacks cannot. Factor in his physical stature and a 4.0 grade-point average off the field, and there’s a lot for major Division I football coaches to like. 

Don’t take our word for it. Ask Mack Brown and his staff at the University of North Carolina. They saw enough at Sunday’s Elite Quarterback Academy in Chapel Hill to offer a scholarship on the spot.

Did you see Kaedin Robinson ’19 in today’s trailer for EA SPORTS College Football 2025?

The Christ School alumnus and Appalachian State University redshirt senior wide receiver is shown in digitized form for about 5 seconds, returning a kick in his college’s Kidd Brewer Stadium. 

Symbolism on point: 24 college sports recruits from Christ School’s Class of 2024. 

Following an extended assembly Friday, boys taking part in Spring Signing Day were joined by their family and Greenie brothers for a ceremony in Mebane Field House.
