Senior Games awarded Davie County the “Thrived in Five” award, signifying a 10 percent or higher growth in numbers of games participants in the last five years.The award was accepted by Carrie Miller, Davie Senior Games coordinator, who also spoke at the Jan. 11-12 local directors conference in Atlan-tic Beach. She gave a presen-tation on publicity and market-ing.“Davie County Senior Ser-vices is excited about the up-coming 30th season of Davie County Senior Games,” Miller said. “This year, senior services is encouraging every resident beating Democratic challenger Cheri Beasley.“It is the honor of my life to serve the Old North State in the United States Senate,” Budd said. “Everything I am, I owe to the place that I call home.

BishopMost drivers, no matter how carefully they drive, will be involved in at least one vehicle collision in their lifetime. Only 32% of Americans have never been in a car accident. For every one thousand miles you drive, your chances of getting into an accident are 1 in 366, according to insur-ance representatives. It’s good to know that I’m still in the age bracket for being the safest driver due to the advantage of life experi-ence and a lower risk for distracted driving which is the number one cause of accidents. And, the fact that I’m a woman makes me a safer driver; men tend to take more risks. Drivers ages 16 to 19, as expected, are the group that causes most accidents because of inexperience and distrac-tions. Speeding is also a common mistake of new drivers. The age bracket of mid 20’s to mid 30’s have a higher risk for fatal injuries, according to the National Safety Council. Then, as people age into their 70’s and continue to drive, their health conditions begin to interfere with driving abili-ties.According to another source, over the course of a life-time, drivers will experience 3 to 4 accidents on average. The most common are rear-end, side swipes and t-bone collisions. At no fault of my own, I’ve had my share. When I wrote my last article about my daddy’s ’47 Chev-rolet truck, it reminded me of the first time I was involved in an accident although I really don’t remember it since I was only about three. Daddy was driving the family home from church, me on my mother’s knee, brother and sister riding in the back, door accidentally opens; Mother and I fall out. Mother suffers broken ribs but I get by without a scratch (so the story goes).My second really bad experience with a vehicle is when I was the actual driver. At 19, just out of high school, I had a white Ford Mustang, newly painted and fixed up just for me. But, it was totaled when a woman ran a stop sign at the end of Deadmon Road as I was traveling toward Mocks-ville. The almost t-bone put me in the hospital for seven days with internal injuries, but the good Lord was looking out for both of us that day. As a result of this accident, I believe I became a much safer driver. However, that doesn’t mean I was impervious to things outside of my control. Driving home from work at 3 am, seeing a tractor trailer in front of me sliding into the median and then me following right behind on that ice covered bridge, was extremely traumatizing. My four-,, wheel drive Jeep was no match for the ice but I was able to get back on the road safely albeit knees shaking all the way home. Eighty percent of crashes are caused by human error, are preventable or avoidable if only we pay more atten-tion as in the case of the other accidents I’ve been involved in. The driver that illegally backed across lanes and side-swiped my vehicle while I was waiting at a light; the elder-ly gentleman that rear ended my car as I was attempting to make a turn. Also, it’s dangerous enough out there without you speeding or passing multiple vehicles on double yel-low lines - stop it! Share the road responsibly. And, if I’m your front seat passenger, don’t mind me when I put on the brakes for you. My FamilyBy Linda H. BarnetteWhen I last saw my oncologist, Dr, Judith Hopkins, in 2017, she advised me to go home and live my life and to work on my genealogy, which she knew was my hobby. She also said in jest that I might discover that I was related to a queen or a king.However, after years of intense research, I have not found a royal relative, but I have learned about many an-cestors of whom I am very proud.My people generally came to North Carolina from Mary-land and Virginia in the mid-to late 1700’s as did most of the early settlers in our area. The dates can be proven mainly by property deeds or family Bibles. After the very first United States Census was taken in 1790, it helped a great deal in family research because it placed everyone in a given household and in a certain location as well as revealing their age and occupations.Later came online resources such as Ancestry and Fam-ily Search, which are invaluable tools for research as are digitized records done by various counties and states. On these sites, one can find wills and many other family docu-ments. Having records online has made research easier and faster, as often many resources are available in the same spot.My early ancestors, like most other people in those days, were farmers who lived by working the land, plant-ing and harvesting their own food. Over the years they often accumulated property as evidenced by early deeds. The most interesting deeds that I ever saw were the two that my Grandmother Smith had in her possession. They were handwritten on old, thick, yellow paper and were dated 1813. Both showed that her Dwiggins forebears had bought land in the Center community that had once be-longed to John Boone, Daniel’s nephew. The property was part of the original Boone land grant. Now they are in the vault at the library for safekeeping.Eventually, as history marched on, people left the land and moved into towns where life was easier. Later on, many of their sons and daughters finished high school and college and became professional folks.I have learned many things during my years of research, but nothing more valuable than that it has been the contri-butions of ordinary people called to do extraordinary things that made this nation great. Many of them were mine even though I suppose I missed out on the royalty part. Words of CondolenceBy Stephanie Williams DeanI’m participating in January’s challenge – sorting and discarding packed away papers, saved penned letters, and sweet message cards. The job’s not one for tender hearts. While doing so, I ran across an old typed condolence letter dated 19 December 1995 written by the sweet husband of a friend. To say I was “down in the dumps” would put it mildly as it was a most sorrowful time in my life as Mam-ma had passed away of a broken heart six weeks after we lost Daddy. As I read the letter again, tears welled up in my eyes – the words consoling. The fact that my friend took time to write such a heartfelt letter – pulled at my fragile heartstrings. The letter begins, “Dear Stephanie:It is difficult to find words that convey how deeply we By Paris GoodnightEditor, The Salisbury Post With all the many troubles going on around the world these days, I’m stuck wondering just where America stands, particularly in the eyes of others. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues and I heard one recent report of advanced U.S. military systems going in to help defend that country as more personnel come here for training on how best to use the new firepower. Some people here aren’t happy with our sticking a toe deeper in that water, while others say we should venture in even up to our knees if we really want to stop a bully before it’s too late. That reminded me of my thoughts on America in gen-eral, which tend to send me back to a time when I was a young fellow riding home on the bus after a long day of classes at school. One of the guys who liked picking on smaller kids was at his normal practice of bothering some-one who was minding his own business on the bus. The aggressor was getting louder and rougher about it, nearly to the point of bringing tears from his victim. About that time, an older guy walked up from the back of the bus and smacked the bully in the back of the head and said, “If you want to pick on somebody, pick on someone your own size like me.” And he stared the other boy down, waiting for him to make a move or say something. He never did and I never saw that kid pick on anyone else on the bus again. Now the older guy, who I knew well as someone you didn’t want to mess with, came from a family with plenty of money. And he was loud. And he had other siblings who were similar in their actions, including a younger sister who would knock you on your butt in backyard football if you tried to tackle her during a pickup game. I’m not sure he was what you would list as the best and brightest of students who always followed the golden rule or anything near that. But during that time when no one else, especially an adult, was around to step in to come to the younger kid’s aid, he did what no one else would. And that was to take a stand for what was right. I wish I could have been the hero to stand up and protect the weaker ones, but I had no such courage. Now did this young protector always do what was right? Definitely not. Maybe that’s like America itself. There are plenty of examples in our history when we’ve been accused of doing the wrong thing, or not doing something we should have to help out. But if a bully — from Hitler to Saddam to Gadhafi — steps over a certain line, no one else is likely to stand up to him like the United States does. Will everybody be happy with the activities we take part in around the world? Not likely. And are we going to leap off a springboard to take on Putin? No way. But I imagine most would be happy to see any of the bullies around the world get the smack to the head they deserve, as long as it doesn’t lead to some unthinkable world war. As for the guy on the bus, I never heard exactly where he ended up. But I imagine he did fine for himself after his school days, with some good times and likely some trouble-filled times as well, just like the good old U.S. of A. always has. Guest EditorialTrying to stand up to the bullies Sometimes, it takes an outsider to remind us of how good we have it here.Such has been the case in recent weeks with local television news programs, who have shined the spot-light on two of our favored treasures.Scott Mason, a reporter from WRAL TV in Raleigh, brought his “Tar Heel Traveler” feature to Mocksville, visiting Miller’s Restaurant on Wilkesboro Street. It was a great piece with interviews from family mem-ber owners, customers and employees. All did a great job. There was even a shot of an old copy of the En-terprise Record hanging on the wall, with an article by yours truly. (Yes, we knew how special they were years ago, many years ago.)Open for nearly 75 years, it is now being run by the third generation of the same family.The next time you see a $20 pimento cheese burger at a fancy, big-city eatery, say thank you to Miller’s Restaurant. It all started right here. Or better yet, just say no thank you and high-tail it to Mocksville to get the orginal. It’s not fancy eating, by any means, but it’s good. And it’s familiar. Us locals get what we ex-pect. Those out-of-towners may be in for a surprise or two. Pleasant surprises.Check out the segment on WRAL’s website. Like me, it should make you proud to be from Davie Coun-ty.•WXII TV 12 put the spotlight on Nancy Tutterow earlier this week. A regular bowler for some 19 years, the Mocksville woman was surprised by fellow mem-bers of the Monday morning bowling league in Win-ston-Salem headed by Davie Senior Services. There was a crowd there. She had been encouraged to not miss this one. Why?It was her birthday. Her 99th birthday.And what does she do for the television cameras? She nearly bowls a strike, knocking down all pins ex-cept one. She showed them how to score a spare with another roll.Not bad, huh? Especially for a skilled bowler who pretty much comes to a stop before dropping the ball barely headed in the right direction. That’s a gutter ball, for sure. No, it’s slowly moving to the right. By golly, it’s headed right for the head pin. Bam! The ball hits the head pin with the force of a marshmallow. But it hits just the right spot. Three pens down, then five, seven, nine. Remember, I wrote “right” direction. How does she do it?She also gave us all some pretty good advice for her fellow senior citizens, for all of us for that matter. Get out there. Be active. Don’t worry about whether you’re good at it or not. Just do it. And have fun. Davie Senior Services is a good place to find your activity.Thanks for the advice. Nancy Tutterow is Davie County through and through. If your family has been here for a generation or two, chances are she knows some of the history. From working with the register of deeds to countless hours in community activities - all around the Center community just west of Mocksville - she knows Davie County and it’s people.She probably knows if you come from a Republican or a Democrat family, as well. But don’t worry, she’ll treat you fairly either way.She is another reason to be proud to be from Davie County.And if you think you were handed too many pieces of cake last weekend, Ms. Nancy, wait until next year.- Mike Barnhardt DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 26 2023 - 3 Presidential Mothers By Betty Etchison WestEnterprise Record There is little known about the mother of Presi-dent Zachary Taylor - as is true about the mothers of other early presidents, but there are some facts avail-able. Zachary’s mother’s name was Sarah Dabney Strother. She was born in Virginia on Dec. 14, 1760. Sarah married Lt. Col. Richard Taylor, who was born in 1744 and died in 1829. Sarah died on the Dec. 13, 1822, when she was 61. Sarah Dabney Strother Taylor is buried in the Zachary Taylor Nation-al Cemetery in Louisville, Jefferson County, Ky., where her son, President Zachary Taylor, was bur-ied after being moved from a temporary burial site in Washington. It seems that Sarah was a rather strong pioneer woman because the fami-ly was moving from their home in Virginia to the rather wild and woolly area of Kentucky where Indian attacks were still occurring when Zachary was born. As the story goes, the fam-ily was on the move and had stopped at a plantation in Virginia when Zachary decided that it was time for him to be born. That Mrs. Taylor was willing to travel while she was expecting a baby makes it seem that she was a strong woman. Also the family was moving to Kentucky where Indian at- tacks were still being suf-fered by settlers. Also, the fact that Mrs. Taylor agreed to move to that area seems to indicate that she was not weak-hearted. On the oth-er hand, her husband may have said, “We’re moving” and she had no choice.Once in Kentucky, the Taylors lived in a log cab-in. Zachary said that he helped bar the door of that cabin to ward off an Indian attack. Evidently, the move to Kentucky paid off for the Taylor family because Mr. Taylor was later able to build a large four over four house, which meant there were four rooms on the first floor and four on the second floor. Having a larger house probably made life easier for Sarah Tay-lor. That house, which has had some additions, is still standing and is occupied by a doctor, who does allow tours by appointment.•The story of the moth-er of Millard Fillmore, the vice president who became president when Zachary Taylor died after serving as president for just 16 months, is a sad one. President Fillmore’s mother was Phoebe Millard Fillmore, who was born on Aug. 12, 1781, married Na-thaniel Fillmore in 1796, and died on the 2nd of April in 1831 when she was 49. During the rather short number of years that she lived, her family suffered from extreme poverty. The family had to move in with a relative just to survive. The Fillmores had 10 children which was more than they could feed at times so the Phoebe Fill-more’s story is certainly one of hardship.In an effort to do what they thought was best for their son, Millard, the Fill-mores apprenticed him to a cloth maker. Millard must have had good genes be-cause he had the determina-tion necessary to change his lot. He was able to get him-self freed from the appren-ticeship because he wanted so desperately to get an ed-ucation. He managed to get an education and was able to be successful without the help of his parents, who no doubt would have helped him if they had been able. Millard Fillmore’s mother, Phoebe, died about 20 years before her son became President. She is buried in the East Aurora Cemetery in Erie County, N.Y. This is not the ceme-tery where her famous son is buried. President Fill-more is buried in Buffalo, N.Y. where he spent his last years. There is a replica of the cabin where Millard Fill-more was born at the Fill-more Glen State Park in Moravia, N.Y. The cabin is open to visitors part of the year. It is closed in the win-ter. Call 315-491-0130.•Anna Kendrick, the mother of the 14th Presi-dent, Franklin Piece, was born on Oct. 30, 1768. On Feb. 1, 1790, she married Benjamin Pierce. Anna and Benjamin Pierce were the parents of 10 children. Franklin was actually born in a log cabin, but a short time later, the family moved to a 10-room house in Hillsboro, N.H. Frank-lin’s father was a Revolu-tionary War soldier, who then became a politician. He served as governor of New Hampshire. Franklin grew up at the large house in Hillsboro, but the whole house was not used by the family. Franklin’s father opened a tavern in the front part. The family lived in the part be-hind the tavern. Franklin’s mother helped her husband with operation of the tav-ern.Franklin’s mother, whose family had been in America since the Puritans arrived in the new world 1620, was determined as was her husband that their children would get a bet-ter education than they. Franklin went to local schools and then his par-ents sent him to Phillips Exeter Academy before he entered Bowdoin College, where he graduated fifth in his class. Franklin’s moth-er must have been proud of the fact that her son was a college graduate. Franklin’s mother, Anna, died on Dec. 7, 1838, when she was 70. She did not live to see her son in-augurated as President in 1853. She had been dead about 15 years by the time that her son became presi-dent. Anna Kendrick Pierce is buried in the Pine Hill Cemetery in Hillsboro, N.H. Her son, Franklin, who died on Oct. 8, 1869, when he was 64, is buried in the Old North Cemetery in Concord, N.H., about 30 miles from Hillsboro where his mother is buried.The Pierce home, which was once also a tavern, is open to the public during part of the year. It is closed in the winter, but will re-open on Memorial Day 2023. Call 603-478-3165. The Pierce Homestead house has an interesting at-tached barn. The barn was attached to the house so the family could get to the barn to feed the animals when the snows were deep. Today, the Pierce Barn is a museum that contains items that belonged to the family. The author visits the little house that Millard Fillmore’s parents liven in with relatives. They couldn’t make a living farming and didn’t own a home. Strong women helped guide their sons’ early years Continued From Page 2share in your sorrow at losing your beloved mother. While we want to tell you that we stand ready to help, we know that time is the only thing that will slowly mend the sad-ness of this event. When I lost both of my parents I realized that a very im-portant part of my life was no longer there. While children and spouses are also a vital part of our life, parents hold that special bond that sustains us throughout the good and the bad times of our existence. Probably, the emotional at-tachment is a reflection of the fact that parents are there to provide stability, a point of reference, and the anchor to our beginning. It is also likely that the special bond is a reflection of the fact that they are the only people in our life that ask noth-ing in return for their love. I became cognizant of these feelings after my parents passed away. I wanted to share these thoughts with you because I am really grateful for the friendship and support that you have given us. We also wanted to offer something that may help to console you at this time. The wound will heal, maybe slowly but the lingering pain is not totally bad because it is there to keep you aware of your timeless love for your parents and all of the small things that you did in growing up. Please accept our deepest condolence. We pray to God that he can help you to have the strength to overcome these very sad events.”Your friend, C.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebration began to sing the last verse of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” the pace slowed down a bit.Priscilla Williams, who helped organize the pro-gram at Erwin Temple CME Church in Woodleaf, remembered well the teach-ings of Gaither, who em-phasized that the last verse should be slower because it is a prayer.“That’s your Black His-torty lesson for today,” she said.The day was filled with prayer, the swearing in of new officers, music by Vir-ginia Rush and a message from Erwin Temple pastor, the Rev. Ervin L. Hannah.Hannah discussed the book Daniel from the Bi-ble, chapter five, describ-ing the times in Babylon when Belshazzar betrayed the prophet Daniel, casting him to the side as a forgot-ten citizen. He also ate and drank from golden cups stolen from the temple in Jerusalem.Eventually, Belshazzar, literally, saw the writing on the wall: “It’s going to be alright.”“When we, as a people, or a nation, a city or a com-munity turn our back on God, we are treading in dangerous waters,” Hannah said.When you stand up for nothing, you are treading in dangerous waters, he said.When you are more con-cerned with building a big-ger church building than saving more souls, you are treading in dangerous wa-ters, he said.“When we want more choir and less preaching, we are treading in danger-ous waters.“The church is not here for us, for you, for me, for our pleasure. The church is here for the world, to be its servant of the world for Christ. We are not here for ourselfes, we are here for others. We forget that the church is the Lord.“When the world throws a party, the churches of God are not invited. We don’t fit in,” Hannah said.He urged those attending to become more involved in their communities, to never miss a chance to vote.“Run until God says ‘Welcome, my faithful ser-vant’. Continue praying without cease. Be like a tree, plant it by the rivers and waters and if you do that, it’s going to be alright.“Pray for our community. Pray for ourselves and as we work together to bring about change.” Priscilla Williams directs the Marting Luther King Jr. program at Erwin Temple; the Rev. Ervin Hannah delivers the message; and outgoing Davie NAACP president the Rev. Joe Clark gives a few remarks. - Photos by Mike Barnhardt The crowd joins Viginia Rush as she leads singing during the celebration.

The organization has sponsored countless schol-arships and grants which benefit members of our community. The SURF Board Youth Grantmakers is an impor-tant part of the foundation. SURF wants to get off the ground running in 2023, and is asking for support through participation in the Popsicle 5K. In unison with the goals of the foundation, the Stu-dents Understanding Real Futures Philanthropy Board, is given the task of helping the community through the sponsoring and awarding of youth-led grants. The high schooler-run board strives to help the youth of Davie County. Last year, a successful grant cycle, totaling $7,849, supported causes such as the Davie County Excep-tional Children Department, The Dragonfly House, and the Davie High Band Pro-gram. But, as SURF Board members know best, grant money does not grow on trees.

Have you ever wondered how the Town of Mocks-ville sets its budget and de-termines how to allocate tax dollars? Now is your oppor-tunity to find out.Mayor Will Marklin and the Mocksville Board of Commissioners invite you to the town’s FY2023-2024 Budget Retreat on Feb. 4 from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. begin-ning at Davidson-Davie Community College, 1205 S.

Having a stra-tegic plan with a well-de-fined mission, vision and goals is essential for con-trolled and thoughtful growth in the town, said Town Manager Ken Gam-ble.“Tying the annual budget to a long-term vision with TAKE NOTICE that a Public Hearing will be held before the Board of Commissioners of the Town of Mocksville, North Carolina at 6:00 p.m., Tuesday, February 7, 2023, in the Board of Commis- sioners Meeting Room of Mocksville Town Hall at 171 South Clem- ent Street, Mocksville, North Carolina, pursuant to the provisions of N.C.G.S. §158-7.1 to consider granting economic development incentive appropriations (the “Incentives”) for the purpose of aid- ing and encouraging the expansion in scope of a proposed new industrial enterprise, known as “Project Pamper”, (herein the “Com- pany”), to be located in the Town of Mocksville, Davie County, North Carolina. TAKE FURTHER NOTICE, that the Incentives being considered are for an Economic Development Project by the Company which involves the expenditure by the Company of approximately nine- ty-seven million-six hundred thousand dollars ($97,600,000.00) to construct a new facility and purchase and install manufactur- ing equipment which will result in a minimum increase to the ad valorem tax base of the Town of $97,600,000.00, and the creation of fifty-two (52) new jobs at the facility. The property where the Economic Development Project will take place is 178 AVGOL Drive, Town of Mocksville, Davie County, North Carolina. The Incentives being considered are approximately $416,788 from the Town of Mocksville to assist the Company with the construction of a new facility and purchase and installation of manufacturing equip- ment as authorized under North Carolina General Statute §158- 7.1. The Incentive Agreement will provide remedies to the Town if the Company fails to create the jobs or fails to meet the tax base increase requirement of $97,600,000.00. It is expected that the in- vestment will be returned to the Town in tax revenue derived from the project in less than five years. TAKE FURTHER NOTICE, that the benefits to the public expect- ed to be derived from the realization of the Economic Develop- ment Project made possible by the Incentives include, but are not limited to: the increase of the tax base of the Town by at least $97,600,000.00, the creation of approximately fifty-two (52) new jobs, the attraction to the Town of Mocksville, Davie County and the State of North Carolina of the Company which might have located in another state but for the grant of the Incentives, and the opportunity for new industrial growth, to be developed in the Town of Mocksville, Davie County and North Carolina.

Davie Schools hosting job fair 8 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023 Continued From Page 1at a Nationals event.Barney: Falling down bowling and rolling a strike…. Right after I told everyone they needed to be careful and watch out for the slick floors. It was hi-larious.Evans: I have several memories, first being the first time I finally won a gold medal at the state fi-nals. Second, I love when we’ve been to Clayton and enjoyed sharing food and meeting new people. Last-ly, the most hilarious mem-ory was when Roni Barney and I went to the State Fi-nals, and we were bowling with ladies from another county. One lady had gone to her attic to get her bowl-ing shoes, and when she went to bowl, her shoe fell apart, and she lost her shoe. Her shoes had dry-rotted. It was so much fun.Stroud: My first year participating in the State Finals and meeting people from across the state and creating friendships, so then after that, every year feels like a homecoming.What would you tell someone that is hesitant about joining Senior Games?Barnette: If you’ll just come out and participate, you might catch the bug and find out that you love it.Barney: It’s not about competition – it’s about having fun. Evans: I tell them how much fun it is and that they will have fun, too. Most people really enjoy it. Just be optimistic.Stroud: You don’t have to compete with people younger than you. You just compete against people in your own age group.Is Senior Games more about the competition or camaraderie?Barnette: Camaraderie. I love being with people.Barney: Camaraderie. But, it doesn’t hurt to win.Evans: Camaraderie.I really like to compete, but it really is about the people I’m with.Stroud: Camaraderie. There are a few people out there who are strictly for medals, but the major-ity play for the friendships along the way.Why are Senior Games important to you?Barnette: To be around people that aren’t com-plaining because if you’re participating in Senior Games, you are laughing, having fun, and enjoying.Barney: I loved sports as a child, but was never able to compete in sports due to transportation issues. So, now this is my opportunity to live my second child-hood.Evans: My husband, Steve, and I participate in Senior Games together. It is really special that he comes with me, and we both really enjoy it.Stroud: I’m an extrovert and a people person. I re-ally enjoy getting together and enjoying the fellow-ship.What is your advice to someone who says they can’t do it because they’re too old? Barnette: Age is just a figure of speech or some-thing in your mind. You don’t know until you try… just like a baby learning to walk.Barney: Look at Mrs. Nancy Tutterow. She’s 99 and having her best bowl-ing season. Evans: You’re never too old to try these sports. None are really that stren-uous. You’re really never too old, just look at Mrs. Nancy.Stroud: You don’t get too old. I threw the softball 115 feet and earned 2nd place that year. I went back ten years later and threw the softball 90 feet and still Games ... earned 2nd place. What is your advice to someone that has recent-ly turned 50 and can play for the first time?Barnette: Do it if your work schedule allows you to participate. Take half days if you can.Barney: I started in my 50s and was called a baby Senior Games participant. This will be the only time you get to be called a baby again. But on a serious note, if your schedule al- lows it, why not.Evans: Come out and join us and see if you like it. Just try it.Stroud: If any way pos-sible, get out there and do it. It will keep you younger. It’s a really good time, and Nancy Tutterow helps score in the 1996 Se- nior Games. you will enjoy it.Contact Senior Services at 336-753-6230 or stop by the main campus at 278 Meroney St., Mocksville or the Brock Campus at 644 N.

Davie County’s first Chick-fil-A broke ground in the Kinderton Place shopping center with plans to open the restaurant in late Spring.Local officials and busi-ness leaders were on hand to congratulate franchisee David Moore and welcome him to the community.“It’s really exciting to start off the year with a groundbreaking ceremony for the most requested business in Davie County,” said Caroline Moser, presi-dent of the Davie Chamber, welcoming Moore and the company. “I’ve told my staff that if I had a dollar for every time I was asked about Chick-fil-A, I would be rich and in Fiji right now.”“Excitement is defi-nitely the theme today, as we’ve been waiting for years for Chick-fil-A to say ‘yes, we are coming to Ber-muda Run,’” said Chamber Board President and Ber-muda Run Council Mem-ber Melinda Szeliga. “Caroline shared with me that a couple of years ago at our annual meeting, we surveyed the members of the chamber about the business they would most like to see come to Da-vie County, and they said Chick-fil-A. We are de- Continued From Page 1defining US 158 and NC 801 as the primary devel-opment growth corridors. Bring those three pieces together, and it’s not hard to understand how we’ll continue to have challeng-es with that intersection because this town is going to grow, and this county is going to grow.”Certainly, Ivey’s NC-DOT transportation update covered a lot of ground, but the busy intersection was one of the headliners as he reviewed the latest short-term and long-term solutions.“We’ve worked with the town to help with safety and reduce congestion on northbound NC 801 with the help of Rep. (Julia) Howard and safety folks and cobbling up enough money ($510,000) to in-stall a dedicated right-turn lane beside Walgreens that will allow us to have two through lanes going through that intersection to match up with what’s on the other side that we built several years ago,” Ivey said. “We’re on schedule to build this project this sum-mer, and this will go a long way to reduce crashes there that are not severe, but there are a lot of sideswipes out there. This should all but eliminate that and also reduce that northbound congestion.”As for long-term solu-tions for the intersection, Ivey first brought up plac-ing a roundabout, which has worked out well on US 158 at the town’s entrance at the Yadkin River.“This is a very different location, and DOT quite frankly is not very com-fortable with a dual-lane roundabout that we’d have to have at the location, and it could be confusing to motorists,” said Ivey, who added this option would result in the elimination of the new right-turn lane be-ing added and the impact to local businesses such as CVS Pharmacy and Wells BR ... lighted that you are finally coming to Davie County, and on behalf of the Town of Bermuda Run, I welcome you.”Bermuda Run Mayor Rick Cross added: “When-ever we have these types of events I try to think about what I’m going to say to welcome someone to our community, but David has already been a part of this community. Chick-fil-A has been involved with our community for a number of years and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have you plant both feet in Davie County.”Thanking everyone for the warm welcome, Moore, who has operated the Chick-fil-A in Clemmons since 2017, shared a few remarks. “We are so excited that in a short period of time, we will be here to serve this community. As Rick said, we already feel like a part of this community. We have 19 schools that we partner with, and probably at least half of them are in Davie County. So we feel like we have deep roots here al-ready. “I think this was a pretty easy decision for Chick-fil-A, and what an honor to have a second Chick-fil-A, which is a big honor in the operator world.“I couldn’t be here today without telling you about my faith. I am so grateful to God for this opportunity. Start earning with Bank OZK today! *Annual Percentage Yield (APY) effective as of the publication date.

He added other positives in this sce-nario would be keeping the new right-turn lane, having much fewer impacts to adja-cent commercial properties and accommodating better pedestrian movement.Ivey said that the estimat-ed price tag of $6 million is not an expensive project and compared to doing the last segment of the Northern Beltway in Forsyth County, which cost $260 million, “$6 million is a drop in the bucket.”Also in his update, Ivey discussed the Baltimore Road extension from US 158 to I-40, and the selec-tion of Alternative 3 in what he described as “the least environmentally damaging practical alternative” after a public input session in No-vember.“It will help with mo-bility in the Davie County area,” Ivey said, “and we also believe this will help ease the congestion in Ber-muda Run at the NC 801/US 158 intersection.”He said that right-of-way acquisition for the road seg-ment of just over a mile will begin later this year with construction starting late in 2025. The current cost is about $30 million.Other upcoming projects include a new roundabout on US.158 at Farmington Road with a let date of late 2024 and cost estimate of $2 million, and another round-about on Farmington Road on the north side of the I-40 interchange to be built this summer.Earlier in the meeting, Ivey had his own “fun facts” when discussing noise barri-ers along highways, stating the cost for one seven-mile section of the beltway proj-ect was over $20 million. He added that the average cost of a noise wall is $52 per square foot or roughly $3.2 million per mile.In other highlights from last Tuesday night’s meet-ing, the council:• Heard presentations from Lane Newsome, gen-eral manager of RISE In-door Sports, and Scott Wollaston of NC Fusion. Newsome said that RISE has had over a million visi-tors since opening in May 2021, and Wollaston said that the organization has 7,500 members in all pro-grams with a staff of 45 full time 200 part time and “a million” volunteer coaches.• Also heard from New-some during his remarks on RISE that Combat Athletics, which offers sports specific training, wrestling and mar-tial arts, plans to close its operations in Mocksville and move into RISE as of March 1.• Heard from Town Man-ager Andrew Meadwell re-garding the Planning Board completing its work on up-dating the 2022 Compre-hensive Plan, which is an update to 2017 Comprehen-sive Plan. Meadwell said that a variety of issues have been addressed and that the plan is to distribute the document for the council to review and then discuss at the next agenda meeting with hopes of having a pub-lic presentation in the Feb. 14 council meeting.• Also heard from Meadwell in his report about the impact of the weather and the recent holi-days regarding work on projects such as the Blue Heron Trail and the Juni-per Pump Station (although much of that work is un-derground). In addition, he added that leaf pickup has been extended throughout the town through the end of January but that leaves need to be put out by Jan. 23.• Adopted a resolution in support for 2023 “Year of the Trail” in support of a state initiative in support of public trails and greenways constructed and managed by government agencies and nonprofit partners.

Chick-fil-A’s mission state-ment is to be the world’s most caring company, and we get to do that here in this community by loving people every day wherever they are. We know we can’t get everyone to a 10, but if through a hot sandwich, a kind word, and a warm smile we can get them from a 4 to a 6, that’s what we want to do. It’s not about chicken, we are in the peo-ple business.“I am thankful to the Lord for giving me this chance, and for giving me a team that allows us to care for people every day. I’ve got amazing leaders here that I hope you will get to meet because they are the strength of the team. My amazing wife, Susan, is my better half, my counselor, and my rock, I couldn’t do any of this without her. “What a great honor it is to be here and we are so grateful to break ground in Bermuda Run and Davie County,” Moore said.The new restaurant will be at the former Rite-Aid drug store site, which neigh-bors the Lowes Foods gas station and Allegacy Fed-eral Credit Union.The potential for a Chick-fil-A at the site surfaced in January 2022 when an en-gineering group associated with the restaurant chain submitted a request for a design waiver from the Ber-muda Run planning board. The board unanimously ap-proved the request.It is likely that the traffic generated by Truist Sports Park and Rise Indoor Sports played a role in attracting the chain restaurant to Da-vie County. 10 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023 ourdavie.com Jimmy Gray KeatonJimmy Gray Keaton, 72. of Mocksville, NC departed this world on Jan. 21, 2023, from Davie Nursing and Re-hab in Davie County.Jimmy was born on March 31, 1950 in Yadkin County, son of the late Carl Keaton and Virginia (Norman) Keaton.

By KC SmithCooleemee Correspondent What would you say if your dad asked if you would be upset if he bought two tickets to send you and a friend to the Orange Bowl?It didn’t take long for Brent Spry, pastor, to re- spond with a definite yes. This game was extra special because Spry has been a Clemson fan ever since he was small and his friend and deacon of the church,Tatum Williams, has always pulled for Tennes-see.Tickets to fly were avail-able, but since these two guys had made trips before and always had a good time, they decided to make the drive.Spry had hopes of going to Clemson and walking on the football team, but his life was changed and he went to Piedmont Bible College and his life turned in a different direction. The hotel room was close to the stadium, lower level tickets, 20 rows back at the 20-yard line.They stopped about two hours from Miami for breakfast. Once they ar-rived at the hotel they had a power nap and ate lunch at a sports grill. They had chicken wings and watched the bowl games that were playing.The next day they ate Cuban style pizza for lunch and went to the stadium early because they had several activities going on before the gates opened. As they hopped in the car the next morning around 5:30 to head home, they made sure their souveniers from the game were with them.In the past, they may have gotten upset if their team didn’t win. But this trip was all about being with a friend, having a fun road trip and forever brag-ging rights of being at the game. Brent Spry and Tatum Williams share their friendship with a trip to the Orange Bowl in Miami, and although they were fans of opposing teams, their friendship became stronger. Cooleemee Friendship renewed pulling for opposing teams By Carole DemmyDavie Habitat The dream of home own-ership has come true for three local families. There is no better way to celebrate the 28th anniver-sary of Habitat for Human-ity Davie County than for three homeowners to pay off their mortgage.Over the last quarter of a century, Davie Habitat has provided the opportunity for 18 local families to own a home. Three of these fami-lies have recently paid their final mortgage payment and are proud homeowners.The Cheryl Melton fam-ily, The Martinez family, and the Alvarado family qualified for Habitat homes in 2000, 2004, and 2006. They have made monthly payments which included insurance and taxes. These homes have provided the families an opportunity to live in a new three-bed-room, two-bath home. Cheryl Melton said that she was born and raised in Davie County. She saw an article in the Enterprise and decided to apply for a Habi-tat home. After living in a double-wide, which was in pretty bad shape, she and her five children were thrilled to move into their new home. With caring for her children and working, she was hon-ored to do her “sweat eq-uity” hours, working on her home right along with the Habitat volunteers.Paying off her home is a grand accomplishment for Melton, and it gives her a sense of pride. She said that, with her children, 10 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, ev-eryone enjoys visiting her home. Her son, Minister Ken-drick Melton, said the ex-perience was a great bless-ing to the family. He says, “God makes a way out of no way.”•The Alvarado and Mar-tinez families have worked just as hard to own their own homes. With children to raise and inadequate housing prior to Habitat, these folks were blessed to become part of the Davie Habitat program.• Habitat Davie has been building homes for local families since 1996. The idea was a result of the proj-ect for the Leadership Da-vie County classes of 1992 and1993. Several members of those classes served on the first Habitat-Davie Board of Directors. The vision of those indi-viduals brought the energy for our small county to pro-vide for families in need of an affordable and safe home environment.Despite the last few years of COVID-19 and its many difficulties, Davie Habitat is on the way to a great re-start! Construction is about to begin on a home and the new ReStore is being refur-bished in Advance. As a faith-based organi-zation, Habitat-Davie seeks the best way to minister and serve our community, as well as to fulfill its mission of assisting qualified fami-lies to become home own-ers. Habitat for Humanity home builds can take up to a year to complete. This pro-gram is not a quick fix or a “hand out”, but a “hand up” to those wanting to improve their living conditions.If you would like to vol-unteer on a build or at Re-Store, please contact the Executive Director, Tamara Taylor, at the email below. Or if you or someone you know, perhaps a veteran, is in need of a home, please contact us at director@da-viehabitat.org.

Homeowners: 3 Davie Habitat families pay off mortgages Obituary DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023 - 11 This scripture message brought to you by these businesses who encourage you to worship at the church of your choice. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.(Philippians 4:7) 12 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023 Bless Your Spoon By Stephanie Williams Dean When the Spirit wakes you to words of crisp, crumble, cobble, grunt, slump, and buckle – you know it’s time to take a break from writing or get busy typing. I chose the latter. I’m in full pie-like “a la mode” focused on favorite win-tering fruit desserts. These vin-tage classic desserts are as trendy today as ever – topped with cool scoops of whipped or iced cream. Recently, there’s been a revival of sorts with updated ingredients and new-fangled, flavorful sauces. The desserts are not fussy ones – a good reason why everyone still loves them. Warm. Bubbly. Gooey. Fruity. Crunchy. These are mighty sweet words. We’re talking the same language here but with varying accents. Think of them as related but different families, and the Crisps, the Crumbles, the Cob-blers, the Grunts, and Slumps are all relatives of the Buckles. I can’t fail to mention the Sonker fam-ily. The common ingredient of all – any combination of berries or other diced, sliced fruits. The Crisps are baked with a sugary streusel-like top-ping that usually contains oats and nuts. Their cousins, the Crumbles, favor Crisps in appearance – having a streusel topping but without oats and sometimes, nuts. The Cob-blers, often in pie-like form with pastry or batter on the top or bottom – we’re now seeing more biscuit and short-cake-styled toppings. Grunts and slumps are the same des-serts, consisting of berries or diced fruit that slumps when cooked. Baked under a rolled biscuit or dolloping spoon-fuls of biscuit dough – piles of wet snuffles can resemble animal grunts. A buckle is more of a cake texture with cut-up fruit folded into the batter or spread over the top, giving it that “buckled” appearance. The Sonker family has thick batter – similar to a pancake – poured over a base of hot stewed fruit. So now you know – and now take all those names and scramble them in your kitchen skillet. These days, the names are used interchangeably. That gives you culinary artistic license to dress these babies any way you want. In keeping with good fashion – you’ll have lots of tops and bottoms to choose from. One thing’s for sure – you’ll find comfort in these homespun fruit desserts served warm right from the oven. Today we live during trying times and in a world where folks feel confused and fearful. Sometimes we feel like our lives are crumbling all around us. When we work ourselves into an emotional slump or find ourselves in a buckle with other folks – we long to feel safe, protected, and comforted. We’re faced with so much loss, tragedy, and painful stuff that it’s easy to find oneself down in the dumps. Many folks are stumbling just trying to find mere satisfaction in living. Quite frankly, it can be difficult to put life in the rearview mirror and stay focused on what’s ahead. But God has promised through his covenant that he will restore people if they listen and return to Him. In Psalm 82, Asaph tells us it is our God who presides and gives judg-ment – not some other rulers, called “gods” who execute judgment on others. The psalmist Asaph speaks out, “How long will you de-fend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed, Rescue the weak and needy; de-liver them from the hands of the wicked. They (the wicked) know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken (crumble). But often, we continue in stubbornness. We are to follow God. And not those who execute judgments like they think they’re god. People have nothing over you. In turn, God will answer you with His promises. Part of Psalm 81, a holiday hymn, celebrates the exodus from Egypt – a portrayal of God’s goodness vs. our wan-derings – and God as the ultimate deliverer and promise keeper. “If my people would but listen to me, if Israel would follow my ways, how quickly would I subdue their ene-mies and turn my hand against their foes! Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever, but you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.” Psalm 81:13-16. (NIV)Like honey, those words are edifying – worth eating. Words that fill us – and are sweet to the ear. Did you hear?“I would satisfy you.” APPLE CHERRY WITH OAT CRISPOatmeal Streusel½ cup quick-cooking oats1/3 cup all-purpose flour¼ cup packed brown sugar3 Tbsp. cold, salted butterFilling20 oz. cherry pie filling20 oz. drained apples in syrup1 tsp. vanilla extract½ tsp. almond extractFor the crisp topping, in a bowl, combine oats, flour, and brown sugar.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023 - B1SportsNorth wrestling beats South in nailbiter By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The North Davie and South Davie wrestling teams waged a historic nailbiter at North on Jan. 18. They have a storied rivalry on the mat, but this was the first one decided by three points or less in at least 28 years. If there’s been another one like North’s 52-49 squeaker over South, it happened before 1995-96. In one of the best battles you’ll ever see, both teams captured nine weight classes. North had seven pins and one forfeit; South had six pins and one forfeit. “It was back and forth, high intensity, classic North-South ri-valry match,” South coach Russell Hilton said. “It was fun.”North won two of the first three matches to take a 10-4 lead. Jere-miah Hernandez pinned at 78 and teammate Graylan Anderson major decisioned at 92. Elijah Tatum got South on the board with a major decision at 85. South put the heat on by claim-ing four of five from 100-128. Leighton Reavis (6-2 decision at 100), Austin Samuels (pin at 108), Aidan Szewczyk (pin at 115) and Laz Smith (pin at 128) lifted South to a 25-16 lead. “That’s a good matchup right there,” Hilton said of Reavis vs. North’s Hayden Potts at 100. “Both of them are returning con-ference champs. Leighton is really tough on his feet. He’s a very strong, athletic kid. That was a really good match (as Reavis pre-vailed 6-2).“(North’s Easton Stanley) is tough (at 108) even though he’s a sixth grader. His brother and dad wrestled, so they know their wrestling. I knew it was going to be a tough matchup for Austin. It was a 4-2 match, but Easton got in a bad position and Austin caught him and put him on his back. That was huge because we knew we had to score some points down low.”At 115, Szewczyk had a ho-hum pin in 16 seconds. “He’s undefeated in his middle school career,” Hilton said. “If he stays undefeated, he’ll probably be the winningest middle school wrestler in Davie County history because sixth graders just started five or six years ago. He’s going to be close to 50 wins.”The 134 weight class is where North turned the tide. Brayden Jen-kins (134), Isaac O’Toole (140), Landon Carpenter (147) and Javon Carter (154) put together consecu-tive pins to vault the Wildcats to a 40-25 lead. Jenkins’ match lasted just 24 seconds. Carpenter and Carter pinned in the first period as well. “That’s their four workhorse studs right there,” Hilton said. Even though North surged ahead by 15, the thrilling show-down continued to churn out momentum swings. Martin Fuent-es-Roberts (pin at 162), Noe Perez (pin at 172) and Isaiah Leonard (forfeit at 184) rattled off 18 points for the Tigers, who led 43-40 with three weight classes remaining. “(Fuentes-Roberts) is really a 147,” Hilton said. “We had him eating and drinking and he weighed in at 148. For this match, we needed him at 160. (Perez) is a first-year eighth grader. He’s gotten a lot better. He’s a very, very strong kid.”Please See North - Page B6 By Brian Pitts Enterprise Record The Davie varsity girls bas-ketball team did something quite astonishing last week. Before we get to the monumen-tal week, let’s rewind to Dec. 9. On that night, Davie trailed Reynolds the whole game and lost 55-47. Four days later, the War Eagles lost 48-36 to East Forsyth. That made Davie 0-12 against East dating to when East joined the Central Piedmont Conference in 2017-18. Not only was Davie 0-12 in the series, the losses were by 38, 27, 20, 21, 25, 53, 46, 20, 44, 30, 50 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record After Davie’s varsity boys basketball team strutted past Reyn-olds, the War Eagles put them-selves in position to stun East Forsyth. Burke Rosenbaum went absolutely bonkers in the second half. Elliott Erlandsson, who spent the first 17 games on JV, delivered an out-of-nowhere performance for the ages. Unfortunately, Davie’s tremen-dous effort didn’t have a happy ending. After Rosenbaum hit a dramatic, go-ahead 3, East’s Will Gray broke Davie’s heart by con-verting a layup with two seconds By Brian PittsEnterprise Record To say the Davie JV boys basketball team played action-packed games last week would be an understatement. The War Eagles suffered a narrow 45-44 loss at Reynolds on Jan. 17. They rallied in dramatic fashion to beat visiting East Forsyth 48-47 on Jan. 20. Even though they let Reynolds off the hook, the fourth quarter featured several thrilling moments. In the final seven minutes, there were eight lead changes, two ties and the biggest lead for either side was three. Ethan Driver’s steal resulted in a layup. Then he banged a 3-pointer to give Davie a 35-33 lead. Isaac Swisher hit a short jumper to put Davie in front 37-34. After Reynolds rallied, Cam-eron Owens split a pair of free throws, leaving the score tied at 38. Swisher scored inside to force another tie, 40-40. When Owens came through with two free throws. Davie was ahead 42-40 with 67 seconds remaining. After Reynolds went 1 of 2 at the line, Davie had a 42-41 lead and possession. It was ready to milk the clock, but a bad pass led to a breakaway layup for the Demons, who took a 43-42 lead at :33. Owens responded with a big play. He beat fullcourt man, drove the left side and banked in a layup to give Davie a 44-43 lead at :20. Davie fouled a driving Demon at :13. He hit both ends of a one-and-one. Davie was down by one with one last chance. Davie brought the ball downcourt. Coach Tracey Arnold didn’t like what he saw, so he called timeout with three seconds to go. Adam Brown was the inbounder. Essic set a screen to free No. 1 scorer Elliott Erlandsson, who rolled to the low block near Brown. He took the pass and had a close-range shot, although it was well defended. The shot did not fall. The execution was there, it just wasn’t meant to be as Davie fell to 0-3 in games decided by four points or less. It was a payback win for the Demons, who lost 55-50 to Davie on Dec. 9. It was the first Davie loss in four games. Action packed JV boys split 1-point games Please See Action - Page B5 remaining in overtime to hand Davie an epic loss. “I’m proud of them,” coach Josh Pittman said. “They put their heart on their sleeves and battled to the end.”Davie 56, Reynolds 39When Davie and Reynolds met in December, the teams battled inch for inch. There were 17 lead changes - the biggest lead by either team being six - before Davie pre-vailed 64-58. But when the War Eagles trav-eled to Winston-Salem on Jan. 17, they put their feet on the furniture and rolled to stress-free victory. “We got to measure ourselves to see the level of improvement and things like that since the last time we played them,” Pittman said. Davie blindsided Reynolds with a blistering start. Hayden Williams, Coleman Lawhon and Jackson Powers buried 3-pointers during a 9-2 burst. Williams hit another 3, then another. Powers’ 3-ball made it 21-10. In the first quarter, Davie went 6 of 11 from the arc. Williams, who didn’t make a field goal against Glenn but lifted Davie to a one-point win by hitting pressure-packed free throws, nailed 3 of 4 triples in the early stages. Boys lose on buzzer beater Girls pull off 2 upset wins and 12 points. Now let’s look at how the rematches unfolded. (You better sit down now.) Davie destroyed Reynolds 58-22 in Winston-Salem on Jan. 17. Three days later, the War Eagles stunned East 49-38. Both teams were in first place when they met Davie. After that loss at East on Dec. 13, the War Eagles were 2-5 over-all, 0-2 in the CPC and mired in a four-game losing streak. Since then, they are 10-2 overall and 6-1 in the league for the finest 12-game stretch in eight years. Talk about a feel-good story, they are 12-7 overall after winning 12 games the past three seasons combined. How the heck did they do that? “We have shirts that say ‘Cul-ture Wins,’” coach Lindsey Ad-ams said. “We’ve bought into the culture we’ve been building for three years. We’re not like Forsyth County where you can transfer and come and go. You have to build and we’re finally building this program. We play year-round together and we’re finally getting results from it.”Davie 58, Reynolds 22The Demons were 13-4 and tied with East Forsyth for first.

B2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023 Noah Dulin had already made South Davie history in early December. He was at it again last week. Now Dulin and only one other player in South’s middle school history have scored 30-plus points in a game twice. Dulin and Draeton Nance pumped in 18 points each as the Tigers overpowered visiting Wesleyan Christian Academy, 58-43, on Jan. 17. Dulin, Nance, Owen Parker, Cameron Knox, Luke Foster and Jayden Warren took turns scoring as South blitzed the Trojans 22-3 in the opening quarter. Parker and Warren fin-ished with six each. An-derson Branham and Knox By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Kayden Richardson has missed four games and won’t suit up again this season. Compounding mat-ters, the Ellis girls basket-ball team lost another key player to injury last week in defensive warrior Gracyn Coleman. Those setbacks might come back to haunt the Jaguars in the final week of the regular season and/or in the conference tournament, but then again, there’s quite a bit of firepower on coach Susan Jones’ squad. Ellis rampaged through Millenni-um Charter and Canterbury last week and broke two pro-gram records in the process. “We went in for a shoot-around (Jan. 16) and Gracyn reinjured her ankle,” Jones said. “Defensively we were not as aggressive as usual (at Millennium). The defensive issue was probably due to missing Gracyn, who is like a bulldog on the ball, causing chaos that sparks the rest of the girls.”The visiting Jaguars By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie JV girls bas-ketball team stumbled in the fourth quarter and lost at Reynolds, but it bounced back and beat East Forsyth. And what a win it was. After losing the first meet-ing by six, the War Eagles flipped the script in a big way, winning 40-19 at home on Jan. 20. “We had a game plan,” McMillian gives boost as JV girls bounce back coach Lamar Russell said. “We knew who scored the bulk of the points last time, and we made sure we got a hand in No. 21’s face.”That player poured in 19 of East’s 31 points on Dec. 13, but she was held to two on Friday. Britany Hernandez got Davie rolling to a 15-4 lead in the first quarter, and Da-vie got a huge boost from Hannah McMillian, who was playing just her second game after missing the first 11 with an injury. McMil-lian came through with 12 team-high points and five rebounds. Hernandez was next with 11 points. When Davie lost the first meeting, Carleigh Croom had a team-high nine points. The War Eagles didn’t have an injured Croom last week, so McMillian was just what they needed. “We needed somebody to step in for Croom,” Russell said. Kaylee Lynch was a key factor. Besides scoring eight, she was her usual self on the glass with 17 re-bounds, after pulling down 13 at Reynolds. Tasia Tarpley had five points and five rebounds. America Stockton had two points and nine boards. Madison Lewis had two points and Zariyah Conner contributed five rebounds as Davie (6-7, 4-3 Cen- tral Piedmont Conference) steamrolled to a 31-14 lead in the third quarter. “If we’d won the Reyn-olds game, we’d be in first place right now,” Russell said. “Now we’ve got to hope that East and West (Forsyth) take care of Reyn-olds.”Reynolds 25, Davie 19Three days earlier in Winston-Salem, Davie and Reynolds were tied at 13-13 going into the fourth quar- ter. The Demons, though, controlled the final frame and ended Davie’s winning streak at three. It was a revenge win for Reynolds, which lost 31-25 at Davie on Dec. 9. Hernandez paced Davie with six points, followed by Lynch with five, Stockton three, McMillian two, Au-brey Speckin two and Tarp-ley one. Stockton controlled seven rebounds.

MAIN STREET • MOCKSVILLE, NC(336) 751-2120 Ellis’ record-breaking girls stand at 11-1 carved out leads of 10-1 and 48-18 on the way to a 56-19 thumping of Millennium on Jan. 17. While Emmie Burris (17 points, six steals) was the star, Madison Daugherty enjoyed quite a coming-out party in terms of scoring. She delivered 14 points on 6-of-6 shooting, doubling her previous high in points, while hitting two 3s and making three steals. “Emmie was our anchor and she played phenome-nally,” Jones said. “Madison was as consistent as always running the point. She has a confidence about her that helps the team feel confident not only in her, but in what they are doing.”The third Jaguar in dou-ble figures was Olivia Smith (10 points, three steals). El-lis got seven points and five steals from Cayleigh Love, six points and five rebounds from Quinn Cornatzer and two points, three rebounds and two steals from Kate Nicholson. “Quinn returned after spraining her wrist in the South Davie game and brought a great presence in the low post,” Jones said. “Cayleigh was continuous pressure on the point.”Making the win all the better, Emily Hernandez, Sydney Ward and Olivia Rareshide got extended min-utes in the fourth quarter. “(They got) some well-earned minutes,” Jones said. “They played selflessly and it was fun to watch.”Ellis 42, Canterbury 16When the first quarter ended at Canterbury on Jan. 19, Jones was not happy. The score was 7-7 and Ellis was sluggish. But the difference in talent became obvious in the second quarter. Burris took over, Ellis broke out to a 21-11 halftime lead and it never looked back. “(Ellis) got control when Emmie stepped up and drained two 3s,” Jones said. “She always seems to know when the team needs some-thing, and she tends to step up and do it - whether it’s hitting a 3, making a steal or driving in for a layup. She is a gamer in every sense.”Jones was pleased with how the halftime adjust-ments unfolded. Ellis scored all eight points in the third and the rout was on. “We made plans to spread the halfcourt pres-sure out by bringing Emmie to the top of the 3-point arc while Madison and Cayleigh continued to pressure the two guards the moment they crossed halfcourt,” she said. “This left Olivia, Kate and Quinn to keep Canterbury’s 6-foot post player covered in the paint. The girls played feverishly well.”Smith (15 points, four rebounds, three assists, three steals), Burris (12 points, five steals, three rebounds, two assists) and Daugherty (eight points, six rebounds, four assists, four steals) were dominant. Cornatzer had three points. Love had two points and six steals. Nicholson had two points. The Jaguars set program records for winning streak and wins. They have won seven straight; the old re-cord in their 16-year history was five. They are 11-1, winning by an average score of 41-21. The old mark for wins was nine (9-6 in 2008-09 and 9-6 in 2013-14). ND 39, SD 28The North Davie-South Davie game on Jan. 18 was a nailbiter for three quarters, but the host Wildcats finally pulled away in the fourth. At the end of the third, the Wildcats held a 25-21 lead. But Avarie Martin and Landry Parsons dictated terms in the decisive fourth, scoring 12 of North’s 14 points and lifting their team over .500 (6-5). “In the first half, we couldn’t hit the ocean,” North coach Trish King said. “We took great shots, just everything went in and out or around the rim.“We upped our defensive pressure (in the fourth), made some interceptions and finished with fast break layups. I am so proud of the grit and determination we showed on defense.”There’s no overstating what Martin has meant to North’s season. She poured in 18 points, the fifth time she’s reached that mark. She is averaging 15.3 of North’s 34.4 points. Martin, though, can’t do it alone, and Parsons stepped up with 11 points. After to-taling 13 points through the first eight games, she has flourished in the last three (9.3 average during that stretch). Maddie Ratledge had six and Hayden Gavura four. “Landry made some clutch shots,” King said. “She went 4-4 from the line. Definitely a lot of improve-ment in her game. Last year was her first year playing basketball, and I think it’s finally starting to click.”For South, Londyn Mc-Dowell (14 points) did ev-erything she could to will her team to victory. “She knew this could possibly be her last game as a middle schooler,” South coach Brandon Gentry said. “She played her heart out and left it all on the court.”Aryanna Warren had eight, Harmoni Alston four and Vivian Vaughters two. Even though the Tigers (3-10) have dropped four straight, including a hard-fought 31-27 setback to Wesleyan Jan. 17, Gentry hass seen steady improve-ment throughout the season. “They don’t need to hold their heads down,” he said. “If they look at the begin-ning of the season and look how we ended (the regular season), we became a team. I have a lot of first-timers and it speaks volumes how this team has come together. I’m super proud of them.” Dulin makes more history for South Davie boys team had three, while Foster and James Mayfield had two. SD 67, ND 23One day later, the Tigers rocked visiting North Davie. That’s when Dulin joined Drew Absher as the only guys to hit the 30-point mark twice. Against Millennium on Dec. 5, Dulin scored 38 - two from the program record - to become the 10th Tiger to score 30 in a game. He went for 34 against the Wildcats, hitting 12 of 16 field goals, 4 of 8 3-pointers and raising his average to 19.8. In case you’re wonder-ing, Absher had 37 and 31 in a pair of games in 2004-05. Nance and Warren had eight apiece as South raced to a 40-14 halftime lead before extending the margin to 60-23 in the third. Knox had seven. Jayce Bentley, who missed the first 12 games with a football injury, debuted with five. Talan An-drade and Parker had three and two, respectively. The red-hot Tigers (11-2) pushed their winning streak to 11. Their average winning margin during the streak is 27.7. Meanwhile, it was an-other rough outing for the Wildcats (6-5), who were coming off a 32-point loss to Ellis. Edarius Oliver paced North with seven. Blake French had five and Wyatt Harwood three. Getting two each were Ty Greene, Will Carter, Carter Cornett and Mack Ridenhour. Ellis 76, MC 9Ellis had two breezy wins last week, starting with a 67-point blowout at Mil-lennium Charter on Jan. 17. Millennium has absorbed more than its share of beat-ings, losing by 24 to North Davie, by 74 to South Davie and by 49 to Ellis in the first meeting. Twelve Jaguars cracked the scoring column. They were Cannon Smith (12), Brandon Forrest (12), Ben Reid (10), Braxton Bowl-ing (10), Weston Barefoot (eight), Mason Driver (six), Zaheim Reese (four), J’si-erre Arnold (four), Aiden Horton (four), Brady Hall (two), Max Cornatzer (two) and Dashes DesNoyers (two). Ellis 54, Canterbury 21Two days later on the road, the Jaguars rung up their sixth victory by 30-plus points. Bowling and Reid com-bined for 18 as Ellis (10-2) bolted to a 24-0 lead in the first quarter. Bowling paced 10 scor-ers with 17 points. For-rest had eight, Reid seven, Reese seven, Horton five, Cornatzer three, Arnold two, DesNoyers two, Colin Harrison two and Graham Weaver 1.

It’s also basically what Lucas Pensinger, a biolo-gist with the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries, said about cold-stun events’ ef-fects on speckled trout in state waters around Christ-mas.Many fishermen feared that when a tremendous cold front blew through the state just before Christmas that speckled trout were doomed – often unable to escape rapidly cooling coastal waters before they are stunned by the cold, North Carolina fishermen were spared a big cold-stun trout kill when a frigid cold front cov- ered the state around Christmas.

Cold-stun events in the past have had serious conse-quences for the state’s trout population, resulting in sea-son closures and creel-limit changes.Never fear, however, Pensinger said. Reports of cold-stunned trout were ap-parently much lower than expected.“I’ve got some reports, and I’m working on getting everything together, but as far as confirmed reports of dead trout, it doesn’t look too bad,” he said.Pensinger believes that the unseasonably warm wa-ter temperatures along the coast before the cold front arrived a day or two before Christmas provided protec-tion for trout, which often have difficulty reaching warmer waters when the water temperature plum-mets into the mid-40s.“I think a lot of it was that the water temperature was as high as it was go-ing into the cold weather,” he said. “So, it didn’t get too cold. Then, the weather came back and got warm in a couple of days. I think the combination of the higher water temperatures and the turnaround we got saved the trout.”Pensinger said that around NCDMF’s More-head City offices, the only reports of cold-stunned trout floating to the surface came from relatively small areas in the Neuse River and Wards Creek. In big cold-stun events, floating trout are reported from ar-eas all over the coast.“The trout population looks pretty good,” he said. “Coming in (to the cold weather), we had a lot of trout. That and the combi-nation of not having too bad a cold-stun event shouldn’t hurt them too much.”Turkey hunting webinarsThe N.C.

The fish was more than 5 ounces heavier than the existing record fish, caught off Cape Lookout in 1969. It was 17½ inches long and 16 inches in girth.Ennis caught the fish using squid and 150-pound braid on a Daiwa Saltist 35HG reel and Star jigging rod. Trout survived cold spell Continued From Page B1in the CPC had more wins than Reynolds, which had notched a nine-point win over East. Reynolds had also beaten Parkland by eight, the same Parkland that beat Davie by 27. But not only did the War Eagles knock off the De-mons, they blew them out of the gym. In fact, the De-mons, who were averaging 49.7 points, were outscored by one Davie player - Kena-di Gentry. “I’ve seen it in spurts, but they’ve never put it together from start to finish in a big game like this,” Adams said. “We’ve seen it when we’ve played people we should beat. I was very, very happy with how we played from top to bottom.”What a night for Gentry, who exploded for the most points by a War Eagle in 131 games. The junior point guard scored 28 on 10-of-16 shooting, including 4 of 8 from the 3-point arc. She converted 4 of 5 free throws, made five steals and bumped her average to 20.5 across four games. One time Gentry inter-cepted a pass, switched to the left hand when she got to the basket and scored as she was fouled. Later, she drib-bled between the legs before hitting a step-back 3. She popped six straight shots during one stretch, four of which were 3s. It was the most points since Sha’veh Martinez had 31 in a 64-56 loss at North Davidson in January of 2017. “Yeah, she had 28 points, but what people may not realize is she’s leading our team in assists,” Adams said. “That’s something I’ve talked to her a lot about because college coaches that speak to me are looking for a point guard, not a shoot-ing guard. I think because she’s able to create so much for others that sometimes they’re helping off of her.”Davie had a six-point possession in the third quar-ter. When a Gentry 3 fell through the hoop, a foul was called on Reynolds and Davie retained possession. Then Peyton Spaugh banged a 3 to push the margin to 34-10. There was one stretch where Davie hit 11 of 13 shots. It was magnificent. While Davie couldn’t miss, Reynolds had a mis-erable time against Davie’s 2-1-2 zone. “We played the same de-fense (as the first meeting), but I was able to watch film and see where we did not execute and we adjusted that defense,” Adams said. “We never had to come out of it Upset ... because they just couldn’t score.”Spaugh (11 points, five rebounds, three steals) and Somer Johnson (10 points, seven rebounds, four assists) were major factors as Davie stopped a three-game losing streak in the series. “In practice we put an emphasis on offensive boards, and in the first quar-ter the offensive boards were huge. And Somer really di-aled into that,” Adams said. Malayka Rankin had five points, four rebounds and three assists. Lauren Colamarino had two points, six boards and two assists. Keelyn Oakes had two points. “(This) showed how much growth our girls have made,” Adams said. “We’re playing with confidence and playing together.”Davie 49, EF 38The upstart War Eagles needed to be at their abso-lute best against first-place East Forsyth here Friday - and they were. The 27-9 first-half lead was magic. East came roaring back in the second half, but Davie weathered the storm and completed an epic week. “It’s really hard to knock off the No. 1 team twice in the same week, let along with the margins that we did,” Adams said. “To turn around and do it again shows confidence, how much the team is buying into the pro-gram, trusting the game plan and executing it even when East started fighting back.”During a 16-4 run in the first half, Gentry hit a 3, scored on a steal/layup and converted a dribble-between-the-legs, step-back jumper. Rankin attacked the lane and scored as she was fouled. Johnson banged a triple, sank a pull-up jumper and then spun in the lane and hit a running hook. Spaugh snatched a defensive rebound and took it all the way down the court for two. Davie shot 45 percent in the first half, resulting in a 29-16 lead. But East came out breathing fire in the third quarter. Senior Tovia Rooks scored eight points in a hurry during an 18-4 run that chopped Davie’s lead to 31-27. Davie answered with an 8-2 spurt. Sydney Dirks hit an 18-footer, Johnson popped a 3 and Gentry got a steal and finished at the oth-er end as Davie took a 39-29 lead. But then Rooks hit back-to-back 3s, giving her six triples for the game, to slice Davie’s lead to 39-35. That sequence drew the ire of Adams, who called tim- eout with Davie up 41-35. “I said we’re going to pack the paint, but if some-body starts hitting 3s, you need to get out on them,” she said. “So, yeah, I was a little disappointed in that. But they rallied.”Out of the timeout, Davie responded with a gorgeous play. Johnson, inbounding from in front of Davie’s bench, threw to Rankin, who quickly found Spaugh. Spaugh’s touch pass led to a Colamarino layup. “That play was actually a bust,” Adams said. “It didn’t work; they cheated on the play. But the ball movement shows how confidence we are.”East’s Trinity Hairston hit her only 3 of the night to make it 43-38 with :56 left, but Gentry, Rankin and Spaugh put the game away at the free-throw line. Davie missed 15 of 20 field goals in the second half, but it compensated by sinking 8 of 12 foul shots in the fourth. Gentry, who made 5 of 9 field goals and 6 of 8 free throws, had 17 points, seven rebounds, six steals and three assists in another outstanding performance. Johnson had 11 points. Col-amarino had seven points and 11 rebounds. Spaugh had six points and sev-en boards. Rankin had six points and 10 boards. Dirks had two points.But one of the biggest keys to the game was Da-vie’s box-and-one on 6-0 senior La’Niya Simes, a 1,000-point scorer who is headed to Winston-Salem State. Spaugh and Dirks took turns chasing Simes and their defense on the reigning CPC Player of the Year was stifling. She hit two field goals and finished with six points. “That shows how tough (Spaugh and Dirks) are,” Adams said. “Everybody worked together in the box. I take zero credit for it; that’s how my girls are playing right now.”Notes: East fell to 11-5. ... Reynolds (7-2) and East (6-2) are 1-2 in the CPC, but Davie (6-3) and Parkland (6-3) are tied for third and close behind. Reagan is 4-5, West Forsyth 3-5, Mt. Tabor 3-6, Glenn 0-9. ... Davie’s top five scoring averages: Gentry 12.7, Johnson 10.3, Rankin 7.9, Spaugh 6.6 and Colamarino 5.3. B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023 By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record After winning seven straight from Dec. 29-Jan. 12, Davie’s wrestling team hit hard times and suffered three defeats in two days, in-cluding a big match against archrival West Forsyth with first place in the Central Piedmont Conference on the line. Before the showdown in Clemmons, Davie finished third out of 22 teams in the Phillip Reed Rumble at Glenn on Jan. 14. Hunter Testa looked spe-cial as always, pinning all three of his opponents to take the title at 182. Lawson Hire was the champion at 132 with a 2-0 showing. Seven War Eagles placed in the top four, including Jerred Alexander (second at 170), Brysen Godbey (second at 220), Luke Te-handon (third at 113), Reid Nail (third at 120) and Luke Miller (fourth at 138). Although he did not place, Elliott Gould went 3-2 at 145. WF 45, Davie 31As always, the Da-vie-West Forsyth battle on Jan. 19 figures to decide the CPC title because it’s highly unlikely either will fall against anyone else in the league. The moment, though, was too tall of a task for the War Eagles, who fell be-hind 45-13. They had some tough guys ready in the upper weights, but since the outcome was decided, West forfeited to Testa (195), West wrestling wins big match over Davie Godbey (220) and Ryder Strickland (285). Earlier, Tehandon (de-cision at 113), Andy Davis (pin at 126) and Hire (major decision at 132) did their part, but Davie faltered in eight of 11 weight classes before West forfeited out. The loss dropped the War Eagles to 4-1 in the CPC. Last year they lost 39-33 to West, which finished 7-0 in the standings to Davie’s 6-1. Cary 39, Davie 24One night later, Davie hosted a tri-meet.

While it wasn’t the kind of week Davie wanted, it did see Testa build on his remarkable run. The junior is 37-0 with 29 pins. He’s about to become one of the fastest ever to reach 100 career wins. “He can run anything,” coach Perry Long said. “He wrestles different styles. You don’t know which wrestler you’re going to get.

Davie 48, EF 47Three days later, Da-vie pulled out an improba-ble win over East Forsyth, which led 45-38 with 2:15 to play. Brown drove and con-verted a nifty layup, but East answered to make it 47-40 with 1:07 left. This is when Davie caught lightning in a bottle. Brown pulled up for a Action ... 4 Davie swimmers earn all-conference honors The boys’ 200 free relay team earned all-conference honors and the Davie swim teams earned satisfying results in the Central Pied-mont Conference champion-ship meet on Jan. 20. After finishing sixth in the league in 2022, the Da-vie boys took fourth place. After finishing sixth a year ago, the Lady War Eagles improved to fifth last week. The top performance for Davie came in the boys’ 200 free relay. Earnhardt Harris, Aiden Davis, Bryce Harnsberger and Logan Zuleger turned in 1:36.30 to claim second. (The top two finishers in each event made all-conference.) The top 12 scored points. Harris (third in 100 butterfly, fourth in 50 free), Davis (third in 100 back, sixth in 200 free), Harnsberger (seventh in 100 free, eighth in 50 free), Zuleger (sixth in 200 IM, 11th in 100 breast), Austin Boswell (eighth in 100 free, 11th in 100 back) and Colin O’Donnell (11th in 200 free, 11th in 500 free) all scored in two events. Meanwhile, the Davie girls were paced by Logan White (fifth in breast, eighth in 100 free) and Sophia Brady (12th in 200 free, 12th in 100 free). Elliot Newsome (10th in butterfly), Sarah Rajacich (11th in butterfly), Lilli Seats (11th in 100 back) and Katy Cheek (11th in breast) also scored for the girls. “What a great conference championship for Davie,” second-year coach Lance White said. “Obviously it is hard to compete with our team size against oth-er teams. But when you consider how we placed in many events, and even in the top three in several boys events, it is just amazing.”The team scoring for the boys: Reagan 421, West Forsyth 269, Mt. Tabor 204, Davie 148, Reynolds 104, Glenn 38. On the girls’ side, it was Reagan 344, Reyn-olds 289, West 248, Tabor 207, Davie 86, East 49. 3 and got a friendly roll, slicing the deficit to 47-43 at :56. He only scored three points in the game, but play-er who deserves a lot of credit for the comeback is Essic, who made two steals in the closing moments. First, he knocked away an inbounds pass that Owens wound up gathering. Ow-ens was fouled and made both free throws to pull Davie within 47-45 at :37. With East inbounding under Davie’s basket, Essic came up with another steal and immediately found Driver at the top of the key. Driver sank the 3 to give Davie a 48-47 lead at :22. Yes, Davie erased the seven-point defi-cit in a span of 35 seconds. “Thomas is always mak-ing big plays,” Arnold said. “It doesn’t show up in the stat book, but he makes plays. He got some big re-bounds, too.”East had multiple chanc-es in the final seconds, but it missed the front end of a one-and-one and it missed a 3. Hood, another unsung hero, had a rebound and a steal in waning seconds. “Connor was in there for defense to take the point guard because the point guard was penetrating,” Arnold said. “He’s been coming on the last couple games, giving us energy. He played good at Reynolds. After Elliott moved up (to varsity), I decided to put him in the starting lineup to see how he would do.”Along with the game-ty-ing FTs, Owens had 17 points and three 3s. “He has really come on since the Christmas break,” Arnold said. “He’s really starting to find his game. I moved him back to the point guard spot, and he’s been doing a good job of taking care of the ball. Our turnovers haven’t been as high as they were.”Brown had 14 points, five assists and four steals - not to mention sparking the frantic rally. “Adam has a nice all-around game,” Arnold said. Besides hitting the game-winner, Driver had eight points, seven rebounds and three assists. Hood had four points and five re-bounds. Essic had three points, four steals and three assists. Swisher had two points and four blocks as Davie survived without Erlandsson, who was pulled up to varsity after leading the team with a 13.4 scoring average. After losing by four to East, by one to Watauga and by one to Reynolds, Davie got over the hump and improved to 11-5 and 5-4 in the Central Piedmont Conference. East fell to 12-2 after starting 12-0. “Ethan hasn’t been shoot-ing it real good - he’s been off and on - but he knocked down a big one (with 22 seconds left),” Arnold said. Buzzer ... Continued From Page B1“I always tell them to keep shooting if their feet are set and shoot with confi-dence,” Pittman said. “I told him sometimes it’s going to fall and sometimes it’s not. But you still have to sit down and play defense, and he’s been doing a great job of that, especially the last two games.”Every time Reynolds got within seven, it was boom - and Davie would pull away. After Reynolds made it 23-16, Lawhon hit a runner off the glass and Powers scored inside. After Reynolds cut it to 27-20, Lawhon hit two free throws and Powers delivered a three-point play. After Reynolds trimmed its deficit to 32-25, Davie went on a 9-0 run. Lawhon drove and finished a layup with the left hand. Williams dove on the floor for a steal and passed to Lawhon, who streaked downcourt for two. Powers hit a 3. When Ethan Ratledge drove and banked it off the glass right before the third-quarter buzzer, Davie was cruising at 43-27. Constant ball movement illustrated the War Eagles’ minimal egos, and the 1-3-1 trapping defense was ex-tremely problematic for the Demons (5-13, 1-7), who saw their losing streak grow to seven. “We realize we’re suc-cessful when we’re moving the ball and making that extra pass,” Pittman said. “All the guys were engaged (defensively). They were locked in and ready to go.”The indispensable Pow-ers hit 7 of 10 shots and 3 of 5 3s to finish with 19 points, five rebounds, three blocks and two assists. “He went to the post a little more, which is one of the things we’ve been trying to do because it helps relieve ball pressure and it helps us have a different dynamic on offense,” Pittman said.Lawhon was a tone-setter at the point with 13 points and six assists. “He set the tone by ba-sically saying you’re not going to press up on me anymore. You’re not going to play physical and I’m not going to back down,” Pittman said. Williams had nine points, four rebounds and three steals. After missing the Glenn game with a sickness, Ratledge returned with five points and 10 rebounds. Rosenbaum (five rebounds, three assists) and Braddock Coleman had four points each, and CJ Phelps had two as Davie won its third in a row. “Ethan is a key piece,” Pittman said. “He defends positions 2-5. He always rebounds. He’s starting to get extremely solid with the ball. He doesn’t turn it over much; he makes good decisions.”EF 59, Davie 58 (OT)The War Eagles came really, really close to up-setting the defending CPC champion at home on Jan. 20. They just couldn’t nego-tiate the final five seconds of overtime. Before one of the largest crowds ever in the six-year-old gym, it was nerve-rack-ing for fans on both sides. Behind Williams and Pow-ers, Davie drilled five 3s in the first quarter as it took a 15-13 lead. East took control in the second quarter and carved out a 27-17 halftime lead as Davie clanged nine of 10 shots. “I told them we’ve worked too hard to not play with the energy and effort that’s required to win a game like this,” Pittman said. Ratledge provided a spark at the start of the third. He scored by rebounding his own miss, and the next time down the court, he assisted a bucket. “I challenged him at the half to step up his game, because we need him,” Pit-tman said. “He responded well.”The third quarter featured an out-of-his-mind perfor-mance by Rosenbaum, who drilled four straight 3s to fuel a 29-6 run after missing his only two shot attempts in the first half. All four of the 3s snapped the net, and then he converted a tough inside bank off an inbounds pass from Lawhon. It was an unbelievable outburst from a role player who was averaging four points. “Burke was lights out,” Pittman said. “He was locked in. I’m proud of him. He played a heck of a game.”The second half also saw an absolutely unreal emergence from Erlandsson, a sophomore who made a cameo appearance at Reyn-olds and saw his first extend-ed action on varsity against East as sickness forced Ian Koontz to miss both games last week. After an 0-for-2, scoreless first half, the fear-less sophomore hit two 3s, the latter providing Davie’s largest lead, 46-33, with 4:55 remaining in regula-tion. Later, Ratledge broke the press and hit a cutting-to-the-hole Erlandsson for a layup. “Elliott played great,” Pittman said. “He stepped up. He was quick with his reads, his reactions and coach Tracey (Arnold) did a heck of a job getting him prepared.”At 46-33, Davie looked like it was headed to victory, but Gray and East had other ideas. Davie’s lead evapo-rated as East scored 15 of 17 points. Davie had a 48-46 lead and the ball, but it committed a turnover. Gray, a 6-2 point guard who won CPC Player of the Year in 2022, headed into the fourth with four points. The stud senior would finish with 21, including a drive and game-tying basket at :27. The War Eagles missed two free throws - their only foul shots of the game - at :11. East put up three shots in the paint, but each rolled off and Rosenbaum cor-ralled the rebound at the regulation horn. Overtime was a barn-burner. Lawhon drove and made a difficult layup to give Davie a 50-48 lead. But Gray answered to tie it. Rosenbaum penetrated and dished to Erlandsson, who put Davie ahead by two. East quickly tied it at 52. Erlandsson set a screen and Lawhon found an open Powers, who drained a 3 to make it 55-52. But a 3 by Gray, who was a lifesaver for the visitors, on the ensu-ing possession was nothing but net, and after Davie missed on its end, Gray scored off his own miss to give East a 57-55 lead at :32. Davie worked the clock down to : 10 before the ball swung to Rosenbaum. The senior let it rip from what felt like the fifth row. While his earlier 3s were as pure as New York snow, this one was long. But his fifth trifecta kissed off the glass and fell through, giving Davie a 58-57 lead at :08. Kids dream of games and shots like this. It would have been one of the shots of the century ... except there was still time and East had Gray, who raced the length of the floor. Spinning it off the backboard from the left side with reverse English, Gray finished a driving layup with two seconds left to mute Davie’s celebration. We’ll never know what would have happened had Powers and Williams not missed significant time in the fourth quarter. Powers had to deal with a bloody nose; Williams took an el-bow to the eye and it was nearly swollen shut. “That was a heck of an effort and a heck of a way to get back in the game,” Pittman said. “I can’t ask for more than that.”Notes: Rosenbaum went 6 of 11 overall and 5 of 6 from long range in the sec-ond half to score 17 team-high points, not to men-tion four assists. Williams hit four 3s, scored 14 and blocked two shots. Powers, who went 3 of 6 from deep, had another double-double with 13 points, 10 boards and two blocks. Erlandsson, who was the JV’s top scorer at 13.4, went 4 for 4 in the second half to finish with 10 points and two rejections. Lawhon had two points and seven assists. Ratledge had two points, five boards and four assists. ... In the second half/OT, Davie was a torrid 16 of 30, including 9 of 14 on 3s. ... Pittman was not happy with the foul dispari-ty. “I’m going to always go to bat for my guys,” he said. “In an extremely physical game, for us to have 17 or 18 fouls and only seven on East ... that’s a huge difference to me.” ... While Davie slipped to 14-5, East improved to 13-4. Since a 93-90 OT loss to North Surry, East has won six straight, including a three-OT win over Rea-gan on Jan. 17. ... The top five in the CPC standings: Mt. Tabor 9-0, Reagan 7-2, East 6-2, West Forsyth 5-3, Davie 4-5. ... Davie’s top four scorers for the season: Powers 15.4, Lawhon 13.2, Williams 10.6 and Ratledge 6.8. ... One of Pittman’s few complaints with his team was the final play. “We have to pay attention to what coach Will (Tibbs) and I write on that board,” he said. “One of the first things on that board was everything goes through 10 (Gray) and we have to stop the ball in transition. If we don’t listen to it, it will come back to bite us. It came back to bite us in overtime; he was going one on five.” Just complete the local shopping survey then enter for a chance to win at pulsepoll.com/boone GET $1,000 TO FILL YOUR CART The swimmers, from left: Earnhardt Harris, Aiden Davis, Bryce Harnsberger and Logan Zuleger. B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023 Continued From Page B1The biggest matchup of the evening was at 197, where two unbeaten guys clashed. North’s John Evans pinned David Hicks in the third. That actually clinched the outcome because South did not have anyone at heavyweight. Evans and Hicks were tied 1-1 heading into the tense third. “David beat John last year, so we had all the con-fidence in the world,” Hilton said. “Jamey (Holt, North’s head coach) and Timmy (Allen, North’s assistant) both told me I made the right move. This was just one of those times it didn’t work out. John won it for them tonight. Last time at 220 (on Dec. 6), David won it for us. David got caught in the third period, but that’s what you want right there. You want two undefeated wrestlers going for the win.”Bryan Tapia pinned in the first period at 222 to put South in front 49-46. Earlier in the season, the Tigers had a stalwart at heavyweight in Marcus Fortune, but they suffered a tough break when he moved to Elkin a few weeks ago. As a result, North’s Walker Matthews received a forfeit in the final match. “Counting prelims and scrimmages, Marcus was 9-0 with nine pins in the first,” Hilton said. “(In the first meeting against North), he pinned in 10-15 sec-onds.”Notes: The Tigers, who beat North 59-46 in Decem-ber, slipped to 8-4 with their first loss in seven matches. ... North’s fifth straight win lifted it to 8-2. ... This was the closest in-county match in five years. South edged Ellis 42-39 in January of 2018. North ...

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023 - B7 By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record South Davie’s wrestling team has a six-match win-ning streak, but coach Rus-sell Hilton wasn’t giddy after the Tigers ran their record to 8-3. He said they left something to be desired each time out. “We haven’t put a whole match together,” he said. Still, the Tigers were too much for visiting Ellis on Jan. 10, winning by the com-fortable margin of 63-35. South’s pinners were Anthony Arbiaza, Elijah Tatum, Aidan Szewczyk, Laz Smith, Xander Proc-tor, Jayon Wright, Isaiah Leonard and David Hicks. Dreighton Lunnerman won a decision and South got two forfeits. “We didn’t wrestle our best,” Hilton said. “They have some tough ones, but I think we should have won two or three more matches.”The Jaguars, who were in action for the first time in 27 days, got pins from Jack Bost, Daniel Hennessey, Jacob Steelman, Allen Mox-ley, Elijah Chaffin and Luis Salas. South wrestled twice the next day at Oakwood. In the first match, the Tigers tore through West Iredell 84-24. Leighton Reavis, Lun-nerman, Ivan Bustamante, Szewczyk, Smith, Leonard, Hicks and Bryan Tapia had the pins. West gave South six forfeits. Later in the evening, the Tigers had their closest call during the winning streak, squeezing out a 59-48 deci-sion over Oakwood. Smith, Proctor and Leonard had pins, Szewczyk had a tech-nical fall and South took six forfeits. “We’re just not wrestling good,” Hilton said. “I was mad about this match.”Szewczyk and Hicks are still undefeated. •••North Davie has a win-ning streak of its own. The Wildcats stomped North Carolina Leadership Acad-emy 70-27 on Jan. 10, and two days later they over-powered visiting Ellis 72-30. North’s pinners against Ellis were Jeremiah Hernan-dez, Easton Stanley, Stephen Jacobs, Javon Carter, John Evans, DJ McCaskill and Walker Matthews. North took 13 of 18 weight classes, including wins from Isaac O’Toole (tech fall), Hank Blanken-ship (major decision) and Brayden Jenkins (decision). Ellis forfeited to Graylan Anderson, Jackson Crotts and Jaden Dillard. The Wildcats, who are 7-2 with four straight wins, have one undefeated wres-tler, the 12-0 Evans. Her-nandez and Jenkins have one loss each. Although the Jaguars (3-5) suffered their third straight loss, they got pins from Grayson Daugherty, Bost, Steelman and Moxley.

Melissa Nudd of Mocksville has been named to the Fall 2022 President's List at Southern New Hampshire Univer-sity with a minimum 3.7 grade point average. Mrs. Jean Cornatzer was born in Cooleemee, but didn’t stay rooted for long. She found a passion for traveling. I enjoyed hearing about all the places she visited and lived when we talked including 6 out of our 7 continents. Jean had 3 boys and gave birth to one of them while she was living in Turkey and they joined her husband, Gene, in the military after she got out of school. The first place that they lived together was Al- abama. She also lived in Italy for 2 years. I found it very interesting when she was sharing some of her adven- tures from when she lived there. She said when they needed groceries that they drove 50 miles. Water had to be hauled home from the bays. She learned Italian and shared many more memories from her time there. Jean has been to many fabulous places including Japan and Africa. She traveled to Africa with her good friend Ann Cranford and when they went on a safari tour ride and got to see all kinds of wildlife, including a lion who followed their bus and an elephant who blocked the tour bus. Jean has traveled to Africa 3 times. I really enjoyed hearing about all of her travels and inspire to have as much of an adventurous life as she has.
