The 2025 schedule has seen the Spartans navigate tough non-conference matchups, including a hard-fought 20-17 victory over rival North Davidson and a narrow one-point loss to Eastern Alamance (31-32) that serves as the team's only blemish. With a 5-1 record and a 2-0 lead overall in the conference, Central Davidson has set a high bar for itself. The team is now focused on maintaining its dominant trajectory through the rest of the conference schedule, with sights set firmly on a deep playoff run. The Spartan Uprising is well underway, and the Central Davidson community is rallying behind a team that is delivering a memorable season of high-stakes football.

What truly sets Bobby Wagner apart is his courageous and unflinching approach to outreach. Unlike many who might rely on institutional boundaries, Wagner makes it his personal duty to go into the roughest areas to connect with children who are most in need. He operates without hesitation when a child cries out for help, recognizing that his impact is greatest when he meets them where they are. By choosing to stay in the community, he ensures that his help is consistent, genuine, and informed by a deep understanding of the local landscape—a key factor that makes him the effective role model he is.
