In other words, the Patriots hope to do what they’ve done all year.

The 5-0 Patriots play at Asheville School Friday, where first-year athletic director Matt Neville most recently served in multiple roles, including head football coach.

Davidson Day won its fifth game of the year last week, and did so by a 39-21 against Parkwood, a 3A public school from Union County.

Jordan Brown rushed for 153 yards on 13 carries and also had seven tackles to lead the Patriots, who trailed 21-8 at the half before unloading 23 unanswered points in the third quarter.

A 30-yard touchdown pass from Will Grier to Aaron Seward jump started the Patriots after halftime. Brown then scored on a 4-yard run to give the Patriots the lead for good. Grier also hit Evan Gates for a 58-yard touchdown pass and Seward for a 20-yard score in the second half.

Grier ran for two 2-point conversions and threw for two more. He finished with 207 yards and three scores on 11-of-22 passing.
