Goose Creek Memorial's Abraham Greene
For the senior infielder, baseball has been more than just a game—it’s been a lifelong dedication, fueled by the support of his family.
“My dad has had a big influence on me as I’ve continued to play baseball,” Greene said. “From the days when he was my coach to traveling across the country, I’m very appreciative of the support that he and my mom have provided all these years. I wouldn’t have the same drive to compete without them.”
That mindset will be crucial as Goose Creek Memorial moves up to District 23-6A this season, facing tougher competition. The Patriots narrowly missed the playoffs last year, but Greene believes the key to making a postseason push lies in the team’s mentality.
“I feel like we’ll have to take a more selfless approach when it comes to the back half of our season,” he said. “We’re going to have to come together as a whole in order for everyone to linkup and do their jobs. It’s going to be a tough task, but I’m confident we’ll be able to get the job done.”

While baseball is a major focus, Greene also understands the importance of balance. Away from the field, he enjoys fishing with friends—a pastime that helps him clear his mind from the pressures of school and athletics.
But even as his high school career winds down, his time on the diamond isn’t coming to an end.
Greene will continue his athletic journey at Centenary College of Louisiana, where he’ll play baseball while pursuing a degree in Business with a minor in Mathematics.
“It’s a great feeling to know that I’ll have another place to keep playing at,” he said. “The way the coaching staff spoke to me made me feel at ease, like I’d feel at home once I’m there. Not many people get the opportunity to keep competing past high school, so it’s really a blessing.”
For now, though, Greene remains focused on leading GCM through a challenging district schedule, determined to leave his mark before taking the next step in his career
