It was mid-winter. It was in the heart of Davie County.Those who have lived here for any amount of time at all know that rain in the winter equals mud - squishy, red mud that can suck a shoe off a foot.But it was just at this time that Gen.

He had already been delayed by a swollen Yadkin River near Salisbury, and was in a hurry to cross Davie.His army of some 2,500 men with accompanying hors-es and supply wagons must have made quite a spectacle as they traversed Davie County.“Cornwallis was in a des-perate hurry to cross Davie County,” wrote James Wall, the late Davie County histori- an in his book, “The History of Davie County.”Cornwallis and his Army crossed Dutchman Creek, near its tributary with Bryant’s Branch, now called Pudding Ridge. “Tradition has said that Cornwallis gave the name Pudding Ridge to this place, and it would have been an appropriate name for Cornwal-lis to have used while trying to take an army acorss that section in a rainy February,” Wall wrote.The ground, Cornwallis said, had the consistency of English pudding.That creek crossing is now on Hole No. 15 at Pudding Ridge Golf Club, and a histori-cal marker had designated the site until a couple of years ago, when it fell into disrepair.On Monday, on the 242nd anniversary of Cornwallis’ crossing, a new sign was pre-sented to the golf club.Please See Pudding - Page 5 Less than a year after receiv-ing a suspended sentence for the same offense, an Advance man faces new charges of pos-session of child sexual abuse material.Peter Michael McDevitt, 78, of 144 N.

To start, I would first like to recall a lesson I was taught in church as a boy. I was handed a thick red sheet of paper and a sharp pencil. Then I was told “this paper represents your worst enemy, do what you like to it!” We naturally tore up the paper with the pencils. We were then instructed to turn the papers around. On the other side was a picture of Jesus Christ, ripped to shreds by our juve-nile rage. The lesson was hands-on, simple, and effective: what pain you cause to those you dislike you also cause to those you love.Keep this lesson in mind. Now, to move on to my specific point in writing this letter. People and politicians alike have shown great disgust for transgender people. Why? Have they ever met a transgender person? If they did and their impression was negative, why is the issue societal instead of personal? I have asked many questions but there are an-swers. These answers are likely not what one might expect. I have met some transgender people. I have transgender family members and friends. I love them dearly. I can tell you many things about them. What is most important to this letter is that they are people no different than someone who is not transgender. They have ambitions, anxieties, flaws, and everything that makes one unique. There is no privilege that I personally take for granted more than be-ing able to look in the mirror and see myself as I should be looking back. Not everyone shares this privilege.I will now return the lesson I was taught in church as a boy. Christ taught us to love our neighbors and was fa-mously short on details of how to do so. Ostracizing our transgender friends and neighbors is an affront to being a welcoming community. There is nothing constructive to be gained by wearing prejudice as a badge of pride. Harm is spread like flames when hatred is held close where com-passion should be, even if it is not obvious at first. I believe hatred of transgender people is hatred of all people. Em-bracing our friends and neighbors as they transition and have transitioned is the first step on the long walk towards making our world better. I hope you will walk it with me.Andy VernonMocksville Donations went to help the needy To the editor:I would like to thank all of the business establishments for allowing me to place collection jars at their places. These jars were placed for the purpose of collecting mon-eytary funds for the needs of the poor, the clothing of the naked, and preaching of the gospel.I would also like to thank everyone who gave donations for that particular purpose. There was enough money collected to purchase three electric heaters, one electric blanket, one box fan for the summer, and one pack of t-shirts - which were taken to A Storehouse for Jesus for distribution.I have a record of where every penny went, and not a penny from these collection jars will be used for my per-sonal benefit.Randy Howell, Mocksville KindnessBy Linda H. BarnetteFollowing John’s death, I have been astounded by the kindness of so many people.For example, last week I was curious as to why my car was not starting immediately when I pushed the button but seemed to hesitate. So after going for groceries on Satur-day, I decided to stop by Advance Auto Parts and get the battery tested. I explained my recent widowhood to the gentleman who checked the battery and said it was still ok but weak. After hearing that, I decided to go on and get a new battery installed. When I paid, the man said, “We are here to take care of you, mam.” What a great example of the kindness of a stranger!!I have also been thankful for both new and old friends who have brought food to the house, taken me to a restau-rant for lunch or dinner or driven me to an appointment. The same goes for several members of my family who have been most helpful.Then there are those anonymous folks who have rolled my trash cans to and from the street, and have put my news-paper close to the garage door. What very nice neighbors I have and am so thankful for them. There is one neighbor couple who take care of many things, were so helpful with John, and who I can call anytime day or night if something happens and I need help. Thank God for these folks. And those folks who talk to me even on Facebook, when I have By Mike WaldenNC State University Decades from now, people who lived through the pan-demic will remember it as a horrible period. Over 1 million people in our country died, with millions more sick but still surviving. Thousands of businesses closed forever, learn-ing was lost in schools and lives were disrupted in multiple ways. But could there be some positive impacts of the pan-demic? Some say the new technologies for remote interactions in business, medicine and shopping have been a plus. The pandemic revealed dependencies we’ve developed on other countries for key products. This has sparked re-newed interest in “re-shoring” some of those products to our country, which would both increase our economic in-dependence and create jobs. One of the most significant economic issues of our time has been widening income inequality. This simply means the income gap between those with higher incomes and those with lower incomes has been growing. A big reason for this trend is economic changes in the 21st century. Technology has been the driver of much of the recent economy. Firms in the tech sector need high-ly trained workers, often with four-year college degrees or more. These trends have led to big pay increases for college-degreed workers in technology and also in many other professional occupations. The pay raises for college-trained workers have swamped those for other workers, thereby leading to larger gaps between high-paid workers and low-paid workers. However, some recent national statistics indicate this situation may have changed. In the last two years, national numbers show hourly earnings have risen fastest for occu-pations paying the least while at the same time increasing the slowest for occupations paying the most. This has re-sulted in income inequality decreasing during the last two years. Don’t misinterpret this statement. Workers in high-earning occupations still make more money than workers in low-earning occupations. Yet, compared to two years ago, the gap in earnings is lower today. What’s happened to cause this outcome? Has our eco-nomic world been turned upside down? No, it’s not been turned upside down, but it may have been twisted. Two forces have collided to reduce income inequality. The first is the pandemic. The pandemic made many people cautious about taking jobs that often require personal contact, particularly if the job is low-paying. In-deed, studies are now revealing a significant number of workers furloughed from their low-paying jobs during the pandemic used their free time to upgrade their skills. Con-sequently, when the economy reopened, those individuals moved to higher-paying occupations. The second force is demographics. Many — but cer-tainly not all — low-paying jobs are taken by young work-ers. The jobs I had while in high school and college were certainly low-paying. But due to a declining birth rate, the increase in younger workers has significantly slowed. This has limited the potential availability — in economics, we call it “supply” — of low-wage workers. Hence, with relatively fewer workers seeking their jobs, firms in low-paying businesses have needed to increase hourly earnings to compete for employees. The narrowing of income in-equality has happened at the national level, but what about North Carolina? I have tracked trends in income inequality in North Car-olina over several decades. I recently updated my measures to include data since the pandemic. The answer to my question about whether income in-equality has narrowed in our state is yes - a big yes. I di-vided North Carolina occupations into three categories: high-paying, middle-paying and low-paying. High-paying occupations include jobs in sectors like finance, manage-ment and the professions. Middle-paying occupations are in manufacturing, construction, health care, education and a few others. Low-paying occupations include administra- tive support, personal services and food service, plus a few more. For most of the last two decades, income inequality in North Carolina has increased, just as in the nation. But since the pandemic, there’s been a dramatic change. From 2020 to mid-2022, average weekly earnings for high-pay-ing occupations rose 2.7%. For middle-paying occupa-tions, the jump was 7.2%. But for low-paying occupations, the gain in average weekly earnings was 15.3%, twice the increase for middle-paying occupations and more than 5½ times the increase for high-paying occupations. Combined with other measures I developed, income in-equality in North Carolina in mid-2022 was at the lowest level in two decades. Of course, low-paying businesses that were induced to raise worker wages by over 15% in less than two years likely had to raise their prices signifi-cantly to customers. But this would also happen if the pay jump was for high-paying or middle-paying occupations.One question is whether workers in low-paying occupa-tions will continue to see similar gains, or even if they will keep their current gains. Much will depend on how busi-nesses with low-paying occupations adjust to these new circumstances in future years. Will they use more technol-ogy and consequently reduce the employment of people? Or could they reorganize tasks to use fewer workers but continue to pay them more? The recent news on income inequality in the country and North Carolina is good. Will the trends continue, or will they be temporary? You decide. Mike Walden is a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor Emeritus at North Carolina State University.

Guest editorialPandemic helps decrease pay inequality gap a situation that needs to be discussed.Just today my neighbor and I went to Ketchie Creek for lunch and to run a couple of errands. When I got home, I realized that my special heart necklace, which was a gift from John, was not around my neck. As I sat down to send a message to Ketchie Creek, the owner had already writ-ten to me saying that a customer found my necklace and turned it in! The necklace is not valuable in a monetary sense, but to me it is irreplaceable!! The point of this article is that there are many kind peo-ple around, people who walk the walk. I have learned that I need to be better at kindness also!! The United States military shot down a Chinese “spy” balloon somewhere near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.Funny? Nope.But we’ve had fun with it.My favorite was: “Where was the sign advertising ba-nana boat rides?” I’ve seen doctored photos of a Chinese food take-out box dropping, and plenty of comments, most of them funny, and like always, too many of them political.If it was a spy balloon, why did the military wait until it had traveled from one end of the country to the other before shooting it down? They say it was a fear of debris falling onto people and property. Also, they said the bal-loon posed no danger. If they had asked, I know a few guys in Turkeyfoot who could have taken it down for nothing. Nobody hurt. No questions asked. It doesn’t matter the bal-loon was flying some nine miles higher than any sniper shot ever made. They could find a way. A country boy can survive, and they darn sure aren’t going to be intimidated by a balloon.We make the jokes because we don’t know what to be-lieve. The Chinese government isn’t going to tell us the truth, we know that. The United States government doesn’t have such a good track record with the truth, either.When in doubt, make fun. And since we don’t, and prob-ably never will, know the truth, keep the jokes coming.It came from a balloon release at a China elementary school, each containing a note asking for world peace. And we blew it to smithereens.There was a new gasoline engine vehicle dealership in Beijing, and the balloon was used to attract customers. Un-til it got loose. The result: Another year of electric vehicles being pushed down our throats.Somewhere in surburbia, China, there was a dad who was going to make sure the balloons at his child’s birthday party were bigger than his neighbors. The little girl (sorry, China, a girl just sounds better here.) is still crying because it got away.- Mike Barnhardt DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 9, 2023 - 3 Presidential Mothers Continued From Page 2 LocalBy E. BishopSmall businesses, it seems, are not for the faint of heart. Eighteen to twenty percent fail within the first two years of opening and fifty percent after five years. I’ve read that reasons for this are lack of capital/research, lack of man-agement experience, unsuccessful marketing strategies, bad location, growing too quickly, inflation, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, etc. This paints a bleak pic-ture.Despite all the odds stacked against them, our friends Shari and Rex at “The Artist Market on Main,” had what it took to run a small business in a small town even in the year of the pandemic. They did the right planning and marketing, had a great location for foot traffic, promoted artists not only from Mocksville but surrounding areas and held classes for the crafty and not so crafty (like myself). It was a great place to browse and maybe buy something extra special for someone. Unfortunately, due to circum-stances beyond their control, the shop is now closed, and Mocksville has lost a great asset to downtown.In recent years, local shops have made a comeback; slowly, but surely the town is improving with new busi-nesses, restaurants, and parks. With the right planning, community environment, and support system, small busi-nesses can find success. Mocksville has that small town feel but yet is progressive enough that people want to move here for that quaintness, lower taxes, good schools and low crime rate. It’s a great place to raise a family. I’ve learned it’s also one of 74 towns in North Carolina and one of more than 3,000 in the nation to receive the Tree City USA recognition. “Main Street Community” describes our town as well. Let’s keep that sense of community going as we say farewell to Shari and Rex wishing them the best in the next phase of their lives. Their artistic influence, friendliness, promotion of veterans and passion for their business was an inspiration for us all. Shop local. Renegade ... By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise Poverty stricken are the two words which probably best describe Mary (Pol-ly) McDonough, who was born in 1782. Mary was of English and Scotch-Irish descent. IIn 1801, she married Jacob Johnson, who was born in 1778. Mary was a laundress, which meant she took in dirty laundry that she washed, dried, and ironed before she returned it to its owner. Mary’s husband, Ja-cob, was a porter at an inn. Both jobs paid so little that The author stands in front of President Grant’s home; and the home in which Andrew Johnson was born in Raleigh. life was really hard for the Johnson family. They lived in a little ramshackle house in Raleigh, which has been restored and is still open to the public upon request.Mary and Jacob John-son had three children: William, who was born in 1804; Andrew, who was born in 1808, and a little girl who died when she was a baby. Mary and Jacob had trouble even feeding their children because they had so little money. When An-drew was just 3, his father died of a heart attack, and, that, of course, left Mary in even more dire straits. When Andrew was 10, Mary had Andrew and his brother apprenticed to tai-lor, James Selby. They was legally bound to serve un-til they were 21. Andrew became unhappy after being apprenticed to Mr. Selby for about five years. Both he and his brother ran away. Mr. Selby offered a reward to anyone who would find them and return them to him. They final-ly returned to Raleigh and tried to make a deal with Mr. Shelby, but they were unable to do so. Andrew decided to es-cape by moving west. He took his mother with him west across the mountains of western North Carolina to Tennessee. They settled in Greeneville, Tenn., in the north-eastern part of the state not far from Johnson City. That must have been a horrendous trip because they either had to walk or ride in a little cart drawn by a pony or old horse the many miles from Raleigh. Andrew had learned enough at Mr. Shelby’s traitor shop to set up his own shop in Greeneville. He was evidently a good tailor because he became successful. He then got in-terested in politics and was also successful in that area. He was successful enough that Abraham Lincoln chose him to run with him as vice president. The Lin-coln/Johnson ticket won. When Lincoln was gunned down by an assassin, An-drew Johnson became Pres-ident of the United States. Unfortunately, Mary, Andrew’s mother, had died on Feb. 13, 1856, nine years before her son was inau-gurated as President. The son of a poverty-stricken laundress, Mary Johnson, and Jacob Johnson, a porter at an inn, became the 17th President.Andrew’s mother is buried in the Andrew John-son National Cemetery in Greeneville, Tenn., which is where her son and other members of his family are buried. That cemetery was made a National Cemetery in 1906, and, in 1942, con-trol of the cemetery went to the National Park Service which cares for the ceme-tery today. •Hannah Simpson Grant was a second-generation American of Scottish de-cent. She was born on Nov. 23, 1798 near Philadelphia, Pa. Her parents were John Simpson Jr. and Rebecca Simpson. Her father was a farmer, evidently a suc-cessful farmer. Hannah’s mother died when she was 3, and she was raised by a stepmother. When Hannah was about 19, her father sold his Pennsylvania farm, bought a farm near Mount Pleasant, Ohio, and moved his family there. Some of the adjectives that are used in literature to describe Hannah Simp-son Grant are intelligent, conscientious, quiet, unob-trusive, kind-hearted, very religious, calm, very re-served, and unpretentious. It was the young lady with all of these attributes who married Jesse Root Grant on June 25, 1821. Hannah and Jesse Grant lived in a small house at Mount Pleasant, near the Ohio River. It was there that their first-child was born. There was a big family discussion when it was time to name that first-born son of the Grants. The name Ulysses was finally chosen when the suggest-ed names were put in a hat and the name, Ulysses, was pulled out. That seems like a strange way to choose a name, but it worked for the Grants and that is how the 18th President of the United States came to be named Ulysses. The house in Mount Pleasant where Ulysses Grant was born is open to the public.Hannah Grant was a car-ing and supportive moth-er, who was concerned about the religious life of her family. She and her husband helped found the Georgetown Methodist and were always very active members. When Grant was crit-icized for his handling of the Civil War, his mother was supportive and calm. She believed that Ulysses would be protected by God because was trying to save the Union, a worthy cause. One writer said that during the Civil War, Hannah went into a room at a certain hour each day to pray for her son.Some people believe that there was some distance or disconnect between Ul-ysses and his mother. This idea seemed to come from the fact that Grant did not write about his mother in his autobiography. Anyone who had read that autobi-ography will also note that Grant also did not even write much about his wife, who he loved so dearly. The fact that he did not write about his mother re-ally did not prove anything because his writing was mainly about his day-to- day duties during the Civil War. Some historians say that there was a strong and emotional bond between Ulysses and his mother. Actually, Ulysses seemed to have inherited some of his mother’s character traits. He, like his mother, was a bit reserved and some say shy. Hannah Grant did not attend the inauguration when her son was sworn in as President obecause she did not like publicity and praise. She never visited the White House probably for the same reasons. She would not talk to reporters about her family. She just did not want to be in the limelight because of her retiring nature, not because she was in alienated from her son.Hannah Simpson Grant died on May 11, 1798, at age 84. She is not buried in the elaborate Grant Memo-rial Tomb in New York, but at Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati, Ohio, near her husband, Jesse Root Grant.

High School Athletic Association and the N.C. Cheerleading Coaches As-sociation.“We just love cheerlead-ing,” Stage said. “The se-nior leadership has definite-ly been an asset.

Special entrees and decadent desserts make the case for a romantic dinner for two – in celebration of the season of love. One of the sweetest days of the year, make the occasion mean-ingful – a day for expressions of care, love, and tenderness. Hope-fully, your menu selections will reflect those sentiments. Reading cookbooks and curating a rich and decadent menu makes for fun planning. I’ve put together a few easy but savory dishes that will make a loved one swoon. Serve with a simple side dish of rice or noodles and a fresh steamed green veggie. To celebrate heart month, I want to share a love story. Last Saturday morning, a mes-sage of great love was delivered during a magnificent church ser-vice and by the end, an even great-er revelation had been revealed.In the initial days of February, instead of selecting a gourmet meal to celebrate the love of her life, my friend, Linda, was choosing Biblical scripture and hymns that would honor the life of a man who had loved her well. I hadn’t expected Bruce’s service of worship and cel-ebration of life to be such a profound lesson on love. Linda and her husband, Bruce, were a perfect match – sharing passions for many of the same things. I think Linda fell in love with her husband on their first date. Bruce was the love of her life and she was his. They complimented each other in every way – Linda, with her love of cooking, and Bruce as a creative sous chef. And Linda’s love for the soil, rocks, water, and every itty-bitty insect or plant found in it – with Bruce’s love for nature and abundant wildlife. The pair rested in peaceful harmony much like the way two puzzle pieces fit snugly together.To hear Linda tell it – Bruce was a great lover. And he was. Whether he was tending to peppers in their gar-den, giving tender care to his orchids, nurturing lilies in the flower beds, or mending an animal's broken limb – he was a great lover of all. A veterinarian – Bruce loved all God’s creatures, great and small. He’d dedicated his life to taking care of them – and was all that epitomizes a great lover – steadfast, warmhearted, compassionate, and more. The message was deep and meaningful. Bruce lived each day the way God intended us to live and love – by loving and tending to all of God’s creation – well. And if you’ve ever been loved by someone who loves well – you’ve been gifted with something most profound.You know, music often awakens, calls forward, and in-spires the Holy Spirit within. Nearing the end of the ser-vice, guitar strings gently strummed along with soft notes from a piano. The graceful music called forth the Holy Spirit who pro-vided the answer to my wandering mind’s question – who is the greatest lover the world has ever known? God. He’s the greatest lover any of us will ever know. His love encompasses all – it has no bounds. God’s love is pure, sacrificial, and immeasurable – with an unconditional agape love for us. On God’s love and ours, 1 John 4:13-16 reads, “We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. (NIV) The book of First John was written so that we’d know the reality of God in our lives through our faith in Christ to assure us we have eternal life – and encourage us to remain in light, love, and fellowship with God. God works for the good of those who love Him and have been called accord-ing to his purpose. We can feel confident that even through death, there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God. In Romans, Paul clearly lays out the foundation for his faith. “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nei-ther angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39. (NIV)The officiating minister closed with special words per-fect for Valentine's Day. “When we are loved, well – we love others, well.” BAKED LOBSTER FOR TWO2 Tbsp. salted butter, divided½ tsp. crushed garlic, divided12 oz. cooked lobster meat, divided1 ½ cups fresh bread crumbs2 oz. grated Sharp Cheddar cheese8 Tbsp. melted, salted butter¼ tsp. paprika1 oz. dry sherryIn two individual ramekins, place 1 Tbsp. butter and ¼ tsp. crushed garlic.

The Titan tandem combined for 51 points and 11 3-pointers and carried the visitors to a 66-56 win. Brim was the first Davie oppo-nent to strike. He nailed three 3s in the first quarter to put Davie in a 17-8 hole. While Brim was balling out, Davie was missing nine of 12 shots and lacking energy. “It was a big game and in big games your energy has to be up,” coach Josh Pittman said. “You’ve got to match their energy and be disciplined and focussed. One of the things we’ve tried to navigate West subdues Davie, overflow crowd By Brian PittsEnterprise Record On Jan. 10, South Davie’s wres-tling team toasted Ellis to the tune of 63-35. Was Ellis an improved squad heading into the Jan. 30 rematch at South? The answer was an emphatic “Yes.” The Tigers beat Ellis a second time, but they had to fight for this one, a 54-48 decision that wasn’t determined until the second-to-last weight class. South won 10 weight classes, Ellis eight. Ellis offset three for-feits by piling up seven pins, two more than South had. “These kids didn’t believe (at the beginning of the season),” first-year Ellis coach Charles Compton said. “They had their heads down after the West Rowan and (Erwin) matches (on Nov. 29). It takes time. It told them all year: ‘Don’t look at the scoreboard, look how far you came.’ You’re as good as your practice partner. So when your practice partner gets better and you get mat time, you get better. They show heart and dedi-cation and come to practice every day. They don’t complain. They’re eager to learn and it makes my job so much easier.”It was a back-and-forth battle By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The South Davie-Ellis show-down came in the conference tournament semifinals instead of the championship game, but it still felt like a heavyweight prize fight. Ellis took the first meeting 66-60 while erasing a double-digit deficit. South got revenge in the rematch, with Noah Dulin forcing overtime with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to send the Tigers to 64-56 victory. Everyone was expecting anoth-er dogfight when the rubber match was held at South on Feb. 2, but the red-hot Tigers ended the suspense early. They didn’t just win, they dominated 67-43 to advance to the final. SD 50, NCLA 20In the first round on Jan. 31, Cameron Knox drained 6 of 7 field goals as the Tigers blasted North Carolina Leadership Academy by a predictable margin. Knox paced South with 15 points. Dulin and Draeton Nance Underdog Ellis wrestlers take South to the wire through all year is starting the game with energy and not having to address it in the locker room.”It became an entertaining game once Davie was awakened by Braddock Coleman’s triple in the second quarter. That triggered a 14-5 run. Elliott Erlandsson fol-lowed with a 3. Coleman stole a pass and assisted a Burke Rosen-baum layup. After Brim hit his fourth 3 of the half, Rosenbaum answered with a bomb. On a fast break, Erlandsson fed Rosenbaum for two to tie the score at 22. Davie hit five straight shots during the comeback. But White sank back-to-back 3s as the Titans headed to halftime with a 35-27 lead. Both teams hit 6 of 14 shots from the arc in the half. Davie’s top two scorers, Jackson Powers and Coleman Lawhon, only managed three combined points in the first two quarters, but Davie was within striking distance because of Rosenbaum’s terrific second quarter (12 points on 5-of-7 shooting). In the third, it was Baskerville’s turn to burn Davie. He knocked down three triples as West carved out a 42-31 lead. Brim, a 6-1 sophomore, fin-ished with 21 points. Baskerville, a 6-4 senior, had 19. White, a 5-10 junior, had 11. Nobody else for West had more than six. “I can live with some of the shots they made,” Pittman said. “Those were just athletic bas-ketball shots. You can’t defend everything, but when we do defend well, we have to do better with defensive rebounds and physical defense. We’ve got to step up to pressure defense.”After facing the 42-31 deficit, the War Eagles provided the Davie faithful some hope as it responded with a 15-5 charge. Powers scored inside, Lawhon drilled a 3 and Ian Koontz finished a fast break. After Powers hit two free throws, Koontz produced a three-point play off an offensive board. Pow-ers snatched a defensive rebound and threw a long outlet to Cole-man, who was wide open with the third-quarter clock nearing zeroes. He banged the 3, eliciting a huge roar from the crowd, to cut West’s lead to 47-46. “Burke played well and tried to stay aggressive,” Pittman said. “Jackson always hustles and plays hard. Braddock came in and gave us some solid minutes and some energy. He’s just got to maintain his emotions, but he’s just a soph-omore.” Lawhon was fouled on a 3-point try, hit two and pulled Davie within 52-50. At this point, Davie was shooting 50 percent for the half and feeding off the overflow crowd. The Titans, though, were un-fazed. They closed the game with a 14-6 run as Davie missed 11 of its last 13 shots. “It’s a rollercoaster, but we’re always in the game,” Pittman said. “I’ll take that all day as opposed to being obliterated. After Mt. Tabor (a blowout loss earlier in the week), we came back here and responded. That’s what I wanted to see. I wanted us to show up. This thing (Central Piedmont Conference) is like the ACC. This conference is real.”Rosenbaum finished with 14 points, two assists and took a charge. Lawhon had 10 points. Hayden Williams had eight points and six rebounds. Powers had sev-en points, nine rebounds and seven assists. Erlandsson had six points, three rebounds and two assists. Coleman had six points and three steals. Koontz had five points. Now it’s back to the drawing board for the War Eagles, who fell to a distant fifth in the standings behind Tabor (12-0), East Forsyth throughout, with five lead changes and four ties. In the first four weight classes, South’s Anthony Arbiaza pinned at 76, Ellis’ Austin Eggers pinned at 85, South’s Zeb Stewart got a forfeit at 92 and Ellis’ Jack Bost pinned at 98. In the Bost-Leighton Reavis match, there were 11 points in the first period. “Bost is pretty tough,” South coach Russell Hilton said. “He beat Leighton twice, but both matches have been close.”At 108, South’s Austin Samuels shook off a 5-1 deficit and picked up a big pin in the second period. “Austin lost to Daniel (Hen-nessey) the first time,” Hilton said. “Daniel is pretty tough.”Ellis surged to a 24-18 lead behind pins from Jacob Steelman and Tony Velasco at 113 and 120, respectively. Then it was 33-24 in South’s favor after Aidan Szew-czyk’s pin at 126, Laz Smith’s de-cision at 132 and Xander Proctor’s 18-second pin at 138. “If you don’t get pinned in a middle school match, then that is an outstanding match,” Compton said of Hoots’ hard-fought loss at 132. “The kids are learning and do- Please See Wire - Page B6 South rolls in semifinals against Ellis had 11 each.

Ellis 68, Summit 57After blasting the Eagles 75-25 and 54-21 in the regular season, it was teed up for No. 3 Ellis to have a cozy win in the first round at home on Jan. 31, right? Nope. Yes, the Jaguars were immensely more talented than No. 6 Summit ... at all but one position. One Eagle had an incredible game and kept his team from getting blown out.

Tabor beats slumping girls dug too deep a hole. The Raiders led by 14 at halftime and by 18 after the third quarter before Davie rallied in the final seven minutes. The outcome overshad-owed a 20-point effort by Ethan Driver. Thomas Essic had 14, Jackson Sulecki five, Cameron Owens four, Connor Hood four, George Sakai two and David Patton two. Tabor 67, Davie 48Mt. Tabor is having a stellar season, but Davie hung with the Spartans for most of the game. It was 31-28 at halftime and 48-38 at the end of the third. Tabor, though, pulled away in the fourth in Winston-Salem on Jan. 31. Driver’s 11 points and Adam Brown’s 10 led the way for Davie. Owens and Essic had eight each. Isaac Swisher had six, Sakai three and Hood two. WF 41, Davie 40After facing deficits to West Forsyth after the first and second quarters, the War Eagles charged to a 35-25 lead by the end of the third. The 15-3 run put them in position to beat West for the second time. Alas, Davie could not close the deal, losing at home on Feb. 3. Essic converted a spin-ning layup to give Davie a 37-30 lead. Driver attacked the paint and scored to make it 39-34. With Davie holding a 39-36 lead, West missed two free throws. But Davie negated that by throwing the ball away with 48 seconds remaining. West turned that error into two points, and it was now 39-38. Owens split a pair of free throws to leave the score 40-38 at :12.The final West posses-sion added insult to an al-ready painful stretch for Da-vie. A Titan with possession of the ball fell down at :05. Davie did not get a traveling call and West got a timeout. West inbounded to its big man and he made a spin move in the lane. A whistle blew for a foul and the Titan scored on the play with three seconds left. He hit the free throw to cap a 16-5 West run and hand Davie its third loss in a row. Driver finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Ow-ens had 11 points. Brown had six points and a whop-ping 15 boards. Sulecki and Brady Vallance had three points each. Sakai and Essic had two apiece. Swisher had one point and six boards. It was the fourth loss in five games for Davie (11-8, 5-7 CPC). JV boys suffer painful loss to West 39 loss to Reagan four days earlier, or so we believed. The Spartans banked in two 3-pointers and rallied within 23-22 by halftime. Davie had missed an opportunity to put Tabor in a hole as it really struggled to shoot against Tabor’s matchup zone. Not only did the War Eagles go 7 for 27 from the floor in the first half, they went just 8 of 15 from the foul line. Davie’s shooting went from bad to worse after halftime. It did not manage a second-half field goal until the 2:04 mark of the third. It was 0 for 7 before Lauren Colamarino dished to Malayka Rankin, who cut Tabor’s lead to 28-27. That proved to be Davie’s only make as it shot 1 of 14 in the quarter. Davie missed 12 straight 3s, but it still had a chance when Johnson buried a 3 with 4:43 remaining. Af-ter that shot pulled Davie within 33-32, Spaugh took a charge at the other end. But Davie could not put together any sustained suc-cess. After Johnson’s 3, the War Eagles missed their next 10 shots and Tabor rattled off a 12-1 run. Kenadi Gentry and Col-amarino had 10 points each to pace Davie. Colamarino added eight rebounds and three blocked shots. Johnson and Spaugh had five points each and Rankin three.

An F1 is a fast-growing, aggressive bass that is created in a fish hatchery somewhere by crossing a Florida-strain largemouth with a north-ern-strain largemouth.This hybrid fish has the ability to grow bigger than the average bass native to North Carolina – that comes from its Florida mom or dad – but to also live and prosper in waters that get much colder than they do around Disney-World – that comes from its northern mom or dad.And for a lot of fish-ermen in North Carolina, an F1 is coming to a lake around you, thanks to the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, which is get-ting some financial help from a non-profit formed by three fishermen who were looking for a way to boost bass fishing in North Carolina lakes and rivers.“This is an experiment,” said Corey Oakley, a biol-ogist who is the assistant chief of the commission’s Inland Fisheries Division. “When you cross Florida and northern bass, you get the best of both worlds: the larger size of Florida bass and the better feeding behavior of northern bass. They aren’t a miracle fish, but when you get a cross like this, you get ‘hybrid vigor’ – they grow faster and get bigger over a peri-od of time.“We were thinking about stocking Lake Nor-man (with F1s) because we have had a big problem there with Alabama spot-ted bass. A small group of anglers out of Norman had come and asked us to see what we could do to help, so we decided to try F1s there to see if we could en-hance the largemouth bass populations.“We were thinking about stocking other lakes, mov-ing them to other places, and Marty and Chuck ap-proached us about stocking F1s in Lake Gaston, which has Alabamas. We decided to make it a broader effort.“Marty and Chuck” are Marty Stone, a former Kernersville resident now living in Bullock, a long-time bass pro and now an analyst for Major League Fishing’s television show, and Chuck Murray of Louisburg, a former NC Bass Federation president. Along with Keith Joyce of Apex, a longtime compet-itor in regional bass tour-naments, they have Bass Anglers for NC Lakes, a registered 501c(3) organi- zation that aims to improve bass fishing across the Tar-heel State.They also wanted to stock F1 bass in lakes across North Carolina, and upon finding out that the commission was already working on just such a plan, they wholeheartedly said they’d like to help pay for the plan.“I had the idea two years ago,” Stone said. “I had just been feeling like the state needed a shot in the arm, and doing what I do with Major League Fishing, I’ve seen what other states have been doing and how lakes in Texas and Chicka-mauga (in Tennessee) have been doing – because of enhanced genetics; that’s where the science is all leading.“The three of us went to see Corey, who I had worked with when we had the (Major League Fishing) Jordan-Falls-Harris tourna-ment. He wanted help with messaging on the Alabama spotted bass problem – getting the message out to quit transporting fish from one lake to another. We sat around brainstorming, and it was apparent that we and the fisheries people had a goal of getting more F1s in North Carolina. They already had Norman on the docket, and we were hop-ing they’d work with us on Gaston.” Out of those meetings came the idea of expand-ing the experiment to three lakes, so around June this year, Oakley’s fisheries staff will begin stocking F1 bass in Lake Norman on the Catawba River chain south of Statesville, Lake Gaston on the Roa-noke River chain northeast of Henderson, and Jordan Lake on the Haw and New Hope rivers south of the Raleigh-Durham area.Fingerling F1 bass can-not be raised in North Car-olina hatcheries because of space restrictions, so they’ll have to be bought at 50 cents apiece from other sources. Oakley said the commission has budget-ed between $150,000 and $160,000 for 2023, hoping to stock the three lakes at a rate of 4 to 6 fingerlings per acre. That’s where Stone, Murray and Joyce come in. Their group is fund-raising through its website (www.NCF1bass.org) to raise ad-ditional funds for the stock-ing program – either to stock fingerlings above the number planned, or to help the state agency enhance its hatcheries so they can grow the F1s at a lower cost.Oakley said the Nor-man-Gaston-Jordan trian-gle gives the commission the opportunity to test how F1s might succeed or fail on different kinds of reser-voirs. Norman is a relative-ly infertile lake; Gaston has average fertility, and Jor-dan is among North Caroli-na’s most-fertile, best bass fisheries.“Bass fishermen now have a chance to help this become a statewide initia-tive,” Stone said. “If you give a dollar to the pro-gram, the state gets $3 in matching funds (through the federal Sportfishing Restoration Fund). So a fisherman’s dollar can buy 8 F1 fingerlings.“More and more people are starting to realize that the quicker and bigger we can fund this, the quick-er Corey can get these F1 fingerlings into our lakes. If we see the same success in 3 to 5 years that Virgin-ia and Tennessee have with their stocking programs, Corey and his guys can say, ‘Where else can we dupli-cate the program?’“The blueprint for this works. I know what my (MLF) guys in Tennessee are saying. But time and money really make it work. The key is having proper funding and timing.”Stone’s group has a pie-in-the-sky goal of 3,000 bass fishermen donating $100 each annually for sev-eral years. That would give Oakley’s staff another $1 million direct funds, with $3 million more in funds available from the federal government. That equates to an awful lot of F1 fin-gerlings headed to lakes around North Carolina.“We have done so much more work on bass ge-netics in North Carolina and across the Southeast,” Oakley said. “The first fish stocked are a 50/50 cross between Floridas and northern bass. Those hy-brid fish will probably have better growth rates and longer lives than our na-tive bass, which are mutts – probably 80/20 northern/Florida genetics. That gives us the best of both worlds, but to keep those genetics in the system, we have to be continually stocking. At Jordan, we’re putting them in an environment where they should succeed.“Will they be a magic bullet? Probably not, but we will use the money we have, and the money that Marty and his guys raise to push things forward.” Marty Stone, a long-time bass fishing pro and television analyst for Major League Fishing.

He had 11 of Ellis’ 18 first-quarter points, he nailed four 3s and he came within three points of his own school record, having put up 35 earlier in the season. The performance left Bowling’s average at 17.8, second in the county to Dulin’s 19.2. In the third, Bowling ac-counted for 12 of 20 points as Ellis extended a 34-26 halftime lead to 54-37. “Braxton knocked down shots and he was able to get what he wanted at the rim,” York said. “He’s just a tough kid to stop once he’s got a full head of steam going into the paint. He’s just a strong kid. There’s not much you can do.”Brandon Forrest had 10 points, Ben Reid six, Max Cornatzer five, Aiden Horton four, Cannon Smith three, Zaheim Reese three, Weston Barefoot two, Colin Harrison two and J’Sierre Arnold one. SD 67, Ellis 43In the semifinals at South, the first quarter was a continuation of the first two meetings. South had a 20-16 lead behind a strong start from Knox (11 points). Ellis was battling hard be-hind Horton, Bowling and Forrest, who combined for 14. But the Tigers took command in the second quarter and never looked back on the way to a mas-sive W in front of a stand-ing-room-only crowd. They surged to a 33-24 halftime lead. They pushed the mar-gin to 48-34 in the third, and they poured it on in the fourth. Nance was the star with 20 points and four triples. Knox had a day to remem-ber, too, with 15 points. “If I had Jayce at 100 percent and not at 60 per-cent, we would score 90 points a game - especially the way Cam has started to play,” South coach Germain Mayfield said. “He’s not my best player, but he might be my most important player. He does all the little things, and now he is starting to make shots, which is just icing on the cake.”South rocked Ellis with four double-figure scorers, including Dulin (14) and Jayden Warren (12). Bent-ley and Foster had four and two, respectively. Meanwhile, South’s zone foiled Bowling, who was held to nine points after scoring 19 and 22 in the regular-season meetings. “We played 2-3 zone and just kept him out of the lane and out of transition,” Mayfield said. Reid led Ellis with 14. Horton had eight, Forrest six, Arnold four and Harri-son two. While South rolled to 13-2, Ellis finished 12-4. Although their season ended on a sour note, the Jaguars posted the second-most wins in their 16-year history and the most in eight years. Not only did Bowling set the single-game scor-ing record in a November game against North Da-vie, he established a new Ellis standard for season average at 17.2. The top two marks before this were Cade Carney’s 15.4 in 2011-12 and Heath Slabach’s 15.2 in 2012-13. Bowling performed a 13-point jump from his seventh-grade av-erage. Reid was second at 10.7, followed by Forrest’s 9.2 and Horton’s 7.2. Forrest will be the top returning scorer come 2023-24. “This season was a whirl-wind,” York said at the close of his first year as head coach. “I loved every sec-ond of it and these guys are amazing. I can’t wait to see what next year has in store for us. I can’t wait to go and watch these eighth-grade guys (Bowling, Reid, Horton, Dashel DesNoyers, Cornatzer, Arnold and Har-rison) at the high school.”ND 54, WCA 36North Davie and Wesley-an Christian Academy split in the regular season, with North winning 52-45 and Wesleyan triumphing 53-49, but the No. 4 Wildcats dominated the first-round meeting at North on Feb. 1. The No. 5 Trojans found themselves behind 30-15 at halftime. They climbed within nine in the third, but Edarius Oliver and North sprinted to the finish line to win going away. Oliver (20) posted his fourth 20-point game. Ty Greene had 13, Wyatt Har-wood 10, Blake French seven and Will Carter four. French pulled down 10 re-bounds and Carter made five steals. “It was most definitely our best game of the year,” coach Trevor Gooch said. “Our kids were locked in for four quarters.”Phoenix 61, ND 26The euphoria was fleet-ing for the Wildcats, who faced a 27-0 deficit in the semifinals at top-seeded Phoenix Academy on Feb. 2. Oliver led with 13 points. Greene had five, Nolan Al-len two, Chad Hardin two, Mack Ridenhour two, Carter one and French one. The margin wasn’t a sur-prise considering Phoenix blew past North 54-29 in the regular season. “We will miss our eighth graders,” Gooch said of Carter, French, Greene, Hardin, Landon Hayes and M. Ridenhour. Notes: North, which fin-ished 8-7, will return two starters next year: Oliver and Harwood. ... Oliver av-eraged 15.6 points. For guys who appeared in at least half the games, it’s the highest average by a Wildcat in four years. Iverson King went for 20.3 in 2018-19. ...

It ended pain-fully, a 47-45 overtime loss in the conference tourna-ment semifinals at Phoenix Academy. But over time, the mem-ory of how the season ended will fade and be replaced by an appreciation for how the record-setting season unfolded. “We cannot express how proud we are of the team,” coach Susan Jones said after the Jaguars finished 12-4. “This was an emotional and stress-filled game. The few things that each team did that could have made it go either way is not what I want to review or remember. I have told the girls there is a reason for everything. In time, we hope they each learn what this loss gave them individually. We want the girls to remember the in-credible season they started and finished together, the selfless way they played for one another, the family we created and the will continue to be a part of as we fol-low them over the years to come. Forever a Jaguar. Jeff (Jones) and I love them all.”Ellis 41, SD 21In the first round on Jan. 31, the third-seeded Jaguars found their stride in the second quarter and cruised to their third blowout win over the No. 6 Tigers. To do it, Ellis had to overcome a monster game from South’s Londyn Mc-Dowell, who singlehand-edly gave the visitors a 5-4 lead at the end of the first quarter. Ellis asserted itself in the second, with Olivia Smith, Gracyn Coleman, Emmie Burris and Cayleigh Love sharing the scoring during a blistering 17-3 run. Ellis kept pounding away in the third. “(The second quarter) is when Emmie, as usual, stepped up and changed the momentum,” Jones said. “She ran point for a few minutes. She took it upcourt, did a nice around-the-back move, drove into the lane and dished to Olivia in the low post for two points. The spark was lit and each player was tenacious defensive-ly. Gracyn had a steal and Ellis’ memorable season ends in semifinals took the ball fullcourt for a layup.”Smith was the catalyst with 14 points, nine re-bounds and two assists - marking her seventh straight game in double figures. Coleman had nine points and five steals. Burris col-lected eight points, four re-bounds, four steals and three assists. Love had six points, while Kate Nicholson and Olivia Rareshide had two points apiece. “Cayleigh came off the bench, bringing the energy and consistency we need from her,” Jones said. “Kate has improved a lot with her passes. She is strong and makes her cross-court pass-es well.”Ellis overcame a domi-nating effort by McDowell, who scored 17 of South’s 21. Vivian Vaughters and Alleson Cothren had two each. Phoenix 47, Ellis 45 (OT)In the semifinals at top-seeded Phoenix Acad-emy on Feb. 2, two teams that split in the regular sea-son fought tooth and nail for four quarters - and then some. Burris’ eight-point first kept Ellis from falling be-hind by a significant margin, and Phoenix carried a 21-17 lead to halftime. Love and Smith were the driving forc-es that lifted Ellis to a 32-31 lead at the end of the third. “From a spectator’s per-spective, this was an amaz-ing rollercoaster game to watch,” Jones said. “From our perspective, it was a pressure-packed game re-sulting in a gut-wrenching, heartbreaking loss.”Ellis broke out to a six-point lead in the fourth, appearing destined to meet Summit in the champion-ship game. (“Our ladies caught fire,” Jones said.) But Phoenix had other plans. The hosts stormed back to force a tie at 41. Phoenix outscored Ellis 6-4 in OT to squeak out a thriller that saw neither team lead by more than seven. Love delivered an inspir-ing game with 14 points, or 10 over her average. The sixth grader also had five rebounds, three steals and two assists. “She is going to be in-credible to watch as she develops even more,” Jones said. Burris (14 points, 3 as-sists, 3 rebounds, 3 steals) and Smith (10 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists) played leading roles like they often have. “Emmie is the best util-ity player we have seen all season on any of the teams we have played, and that is saying a lot,” Jones said. “Smith’s defensive game really stepped up the last three games, and I am so proud of how she has been battling on the inside against girls who probably outweigh her by 30-40 pounds.”Coleman, who brought havoc-wreaking defense every game, had five points, five steals and two assists. Madison Daugherty con-tributed two points, four assists, four steals and three rebounds. “Gracyn had a tremen-dously strong defensive game,” she said. “Her fear-lessness and tenacity make her a player I want on my team all the time. Madison played her most aggressive defensive game.”Playing with enormous heart and passion, the Jag-uars had a memorable ride while setting program re-cords for wins and longest winning streak (seven). Smith (10.6) and Burris (9.3) were the top two scor-ers. Kayden Richardson, who missed the last eight games with an injury, was No. 3 at 7.6. Coleman was next at 5.1. Five girls played in their final Ellis game: Burris, Quinn Cornatzer, Daugherty, Nicholson and Richardson. “We told them before the game started that they needed to give it everything they had, leaving everything on the floor, because there would not be a tomorrow to play if they didn’t,” Jones said. “And every one of them stepped up and played their hearts out.”WCA 38, ND 27In the first round on Jan. 31, fourth-seeded Wesleyan Christian Academy beat North Davie for the third time and drew the curtain on Above all i n Community Promise of ServiceGolden Rule KnowledgeableAward-winningHelpfulStrongLocal FinanciallySecurityCompassionHelpful Dependable Spirit Volunteers Peace SoundSecurity Supportive FairnessEmpathetic Caring Protection Strong Local Agen t s Award-winni n g Compassio n Treating Pe o pl e Ri g h t Expectations Responsive Pride & Sup p o r t Golden Rul e History Protection Peace of Mi n d Financially SoundPeace of Mi n d PromiseWho is Erie Insurance?

Hayden Gavura had seven and Maddie Rat-ledge six. Landry Parsons, Britt Carrier and Audrina Bledsoe had two each. King has been a fixture at North since the mid-1990s. She guided the volleyball program for 27 years and coached basketball for 25. “I really hated to end our season on such a bad game,” she said. “However, what a great group of girls to end my career with. I not only saw so much im-provement this season, but I also saw a group of girls come together as a team. I thoroughly enjoyed every-thing about this team - their parents and our season. I’ve learned it’s not always about the win-loss column or the championships at the end of the season. It’s more about the experience of the season and the ride along the way.

It was a phenomenal match. Carter didn’t win, but I was super proud of that match because it was a battle.”Allen Moxley and Ayden Chilton produced pins for Ellis, lifting the Jaguars to a 36-33 lead. “Chilton is pretty tough,” Hilton said of Ellis’ 152-pounder. “He was wres-tling a weight class up. He weighed in at 142.”After South’s Noe Guz-man received a forfeit at 160, Elijah Chaffin got a pin at 170 to give Ellis a 42-39 lead. Two unbeatens, Chaffin and Szewczyk, con-tinued their dominant runs. In fact, Szewczyk has never lost while wearing a South uniform. “Elijah just goes out there and tries to get off the mat as quick as possible,” Hilton said. “He’s an all-around wres-tler,” Compton said. “He’s just a little more advanced than your typical middle schooler. But you’ve got to put in the time and Elijah has done that.”South took the lead for keeps when Brandon Pas-tor got a forfeit at 182. A crucial match was held at 197, where South’s David Hicks decisioned Brodie Newman to give the Tigers a 48-42 lead.“(Hicks) likes to make it interesting,” Hilton said. “He likes to give me a heart attack sometimes. He gets in all these crazy positions.”Newman was impressive in defeat. “(Hicks) pinned my kid at 197 in 15 or 20 seconds last time,” Compton said. “Brodie is only a sixth grad-er, so he’s learned a lot and he almost came away with a victory.”The clincher for South was Bryan Tapia, who pinned at 220 to extend the margin to 54-42. The match ended with Ellis’ Luis Salas receiving a forfeit at heavy-weight. “If (Tapia) loses, we lose the match, so he was pumped up,” Hilton said. “He’s a first-year eighth grader, but he’s getting bet-ter. He’s more confident on his feet now. He saw Marcus (Fortune) throwing every-body around (earlier in the season before he moved to Elkin), and now he’s starting to throw people.”Notes: Ellis had to forfeit at 160 because unbeaten Finnly Sink was out with a foot injury. “He’ll be back next year,” Compton said of the seventh grader. “Most of my kids are sixth and sev-enth graders.” ... The Tigers, who hammered Thomasville 96-12 on the same day as the Ellis match, finished 10-4 as a dual team. ... This was the first match in 18 days for the Jaguars, who went 3-6. Wire ...

While a very small percentage of people are ac-tually born with foot problems, over 75% of the population will experience foot problems at some point in their life. To help you walk or run, the bones in your feet move through a series of movements, also known as a gait cycle. Pronation, a word commonly used when discussing feet and footwear, plays a key role in this cycle. Pronation describes a slight inward rolling mo-tion the foot makes during a normal walking or run-ning stride. Unfortunately, approximately 80% of the population has feet that roll inward more than normal. This excessive rolling motion is referred to as over-pronation. The resulting unstable position places ex-cessive stress on the foot and can lead to injury. Over-pronation, while very common, can lead to significant aches and pains which interfere with our everyday comfort. Bunions: Bunions are an enlargement of the bone at the base of the big toe, which often cause the big toe to tilt to the side. Plantar Fasciitis: The plantar fascia is a tough tis-sue in the foot that spans from the heel bone to the ball of the foot. The most common symptom is pain in the bottom of the heel when first arising in the morn- ing or after being seated for a period of time. Achilles Tendonitis: Pain is typically felt at the back of the ankle, with the first symptoms typically being a vague, dull ache. Iliotibial Band Syndrome: IT band syndrome is caused when the band becomes inflamed and ten-der, most commonly at its insertion below the knee. Shin Splints: Shin splint pain can be due to prob-lems with the muscles, bone, or the attachment of the muscle to the bone. Pain can be sharp and can be felt on the inside or outside of the shin. Don’t suffer any longer! Often, foot and lower leg pain can often be addressed simply by choosing properly fitting footwear. The degree of pronation that is demonstrated during an individual’s gait cycle de-termines the degree of stability that is required from a shoe. At Fleet Feet, we will take you through 3D foot scan and pressure plate assessment to help you de-termine the right shoe and insole for you. Visit us at our Winston-Salem or Clemmons location.
