RABUN GAP, Ga. - Wearing No. 22 for Christ School lacrosse comes with a bit of gravitas.
The program’s all-time leader in points, Davis Lindsey ’20, only played four games his senior year due to the season being cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic. Or else his final record of 337 career points would be even more legendary.
Davis is now a senior for Loyola University Maryland and the player in the 22 jersey for the Greenies is Edward Fisher ’28, who joined the Long Green Line as a mid-year transfer.
The eighth grader from Charlotte scored his first high school goal with 5.5 seconds left in the third quarter Tuesday night. In all, eight different Greenies found the net – led by five goals from Queens recruit Parker Beiland ’24 – to win at Rabun Gap, 13-11.
Along with Parker and Edward, the goal-scorers for Christ School (8-4) were: Nate Wilberding ’25 (two), Carter Sherwood ’25, Turner Brooks ’24, Nolan Miller ’25, Parker Abernethy ’27, and Hardy Johnson ’24.
Rabun Gap (9-3) was ahead 3-0 before Parker Beiland’s initial goal at the 1:54 mark of the first quarter. He now has eight goals in the past two games. The Greenies led 7-6 at halftime, 9-7 at the end of the third quarter, and 13-9 before giving up two late goals.
Tuesday was by far the most competitive game between the schools. The Eagles are a relative newcomer to the NCISAA lacrosse scene, having started their program in 2019.
