The Patriots team pairs Davidson Day with Community School of Davidson.
Two Davidson schools have teamed up to form a new middle school football team, the Patriots, who have a win under their belt and a second home game Sept. 10. We have the details and the team’s schedule below.
Community School of Davidson, a public charter, and Davidson Day, a private prep school, are collaborating to launch the new team under the banner of “Davidson Football.” The team is coached by Randy Ferrell, who has a son at Davidson Day and is the president of the Piedmont Youth Football League.

The team was organized in the spring and had a scrimmage against the Wilkes Yellow Jackets in mid August. The Patriots are off to a good start, defeating Statesville Christian 20-6 in their debut game Aug. 27.
“We are overjoyed to bring scholastic football not just to Davidson Day, but to the town of Davidson,” said Davidson Day Athletic Director Kevin Buechler. “(Head Coach) Randy Ferrell is a wonderful resource to have, and we feel with his years of experience coaching youth football, it will have a positive impact to our players both on and off the field.”
