During his junior year, Barnes led the Ravens in scoring with 42 goals and 11 assists en route to an NCISAA State Runner-up finish. He was also among the top five goal scorers for all schools in the Triangle in 2012. As sophomore in 2011, he recorded 26 goals and nine assists.
“Jimbo Barnes has had a dramatic impact on the culture of the Ravenscroft Varsity Lacrosse Team.” said Ravenscroft Head Coach Sandy Kapatos. “His commitment and dedication to fulfill the expectations of our program has set the bar for his teammates. His work ethic in the classroom and contributions on the lacrosse field have enabled him to attain the ultimate goal of every high school lacrosse player in the country, to play for a Division I program like Furman University. I’m very proud of Jimbo and confident that he’ll have a similar impact on the Furman program.”
