Reeves Cates ’24 has always been a student of his sport, aware of soccer’s incredible reach to every corner of the world. 

He’ll have an even greater appreciation for this after a year of living, training, and playing abroad. 

George Robbins ’24 has been selected to the new Asheville Football Club semi-professional team for the 2024 spring season, the organization announced Monday.

Spreading the love of soccer is an all-weather, year-round mission for Christ School’s coaches and players.

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.

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

They involve soccer, of course.  

Win or lose, penalty kicks are never an ideal way to decide a soccer game.

CHARLOTTE - Everything looked like it was not meant to be Thursday night.

Until it was.

Brendan Regan ’24 spoke earlier in the day about coming through when there is no margin for error.

His feet were doing the talking in the first round of the NCISAA 4-A state soccer playoffs.

Christ School varsity soccer would have started every senior Tuesday if it were possible. The problem is only 11 players can be on the field.

SWANNANOA - Sprawling out Tuesday night, Felix Huebner ‘26 stretched his legs to deflect an Asheville Christian Academy shot.

Christ School varsity soccer and its dynamic goalkeeper served notice that the second half of Carolinas Athletic Association play might look much different than the first with a 2-0 road win.

The Christ School Athletic Department will hold three Senior Night ceremonies for Fall Sports athletes next month.

CHARLOTTE - Extra time is starting to become a comfort zone for Christ School varsity soccer.

For the fourth time this season, the Greenies were pushed beyond the standard 80 minutes of regulation on Tuesday. And for the third time, they came out victorious.

Somewhere in the commotion, Jimmy Mennell ’24 was handed a Christ School flag on Friday night.

No one deserved to wave it more.

Following the dramatic tension of Wednesday’s overtime win and a two-hour bus ride home, Christ School varsity soccer players got back to work early the next morning.

The team's preseason commitment and experience are showing through two games.

MATTHEWS, N.C. - Self-sacrifice, or simply put, “we before me,” will be the motto for Christ School varsity soccer this season.

No one embodied it more than Collier Lilly ‘25 on Wednesday.

A new tradition served as the unofficial start to Christ School's 123rd Commencement Weekend on Thursday night.

Much of the success that Christ School soccer has had over the years can be directly attributed to players who have come up through Asheville’s Highland Football Club.

What has been true over time is still true to this day.

Winners on the field, winners off it.

Continued excellence across the board for Christ School athletics is being reflected in recruiting. For the third time in five years, a senior class will include 20 or more boys who have committed or signed to play college sports.

Guy Campbell ’00 saw the opportunity to be an assistant coach with the Asheville City Soccer Club’s top-tier team as the ultimate in professional development.

Nothing about the 2022 season convinced him otherwise. And then five men’s players from Asheville City were selected in last month’s MLS SuperDraft. 

Congratulations to Carter Compton '24 on being named to the NCISAA 4-A all-state soccer team for the second consecutive year.
