He is being held in the Davie Detention Center without privilege of bond.Lori Annette Kane, 60, was found dead at the home on Fri-day morning.Davie Sheriff J.D. Hartman would not give details, but said that Doby had made the initial call to 911, asking for a “wel-fare check” on Kane the resi-dence.When deputies arrived nine minutes later, they found her dead in the bedroom from an apparent gunshot wound. Hartman would not say where the victim was shot, but that a weapon was found at the scene.Davie detectives, with help from the SBI and the For-syth County Sheriff’s Office, quickly identified Doby as the suspect.

Tell us what you think To the editor:My name is Jeff Jones and I retired from the Davie County Sheriffs Office this summer after working there for the past 15 years. Initially, I began working with the sheriff’s office in the patrol division. But after a year, I was talked into going to the high school by Chief Deputy Brian Jacobs. Brian was a lieutenant and lead SRO over the schools at the time and I was lucky to work with him for the next eight years before he went back to patrol and recommended me to take over his position.I was blessed to continue in this position for six more years, spending almost a decade and a half at Davie County High School working with multiple administrators, coach-es, guidance counselors, office staff and social workers. Being the lieutenant over the SRO program the last half of my career gave me the pleasure of working with the administrators and other staff members at all the elemen-tary and middle schools. I had a close working relationship with the superintendent and watched our Board of Edu-cation members work hard to make sure our schools had everything they needed. I leave this position knowing one thing. Our community, including myself, is extremely blessed to be able to raise our families in Davie County. I know the school system is not perfect. But I can tell you that the staff members at the schools are dedicated to our kids and work tirelessly to make sure our kids get everything they need. I have seen the schools work from within and am extremely proud of how hard everyone works to come together to make things happen for our kids. I also want everyone to know how closely our sher-iff’s office and school system work together and how they constantly work on training and making sure we have the best plans in place to keep our kids safe. I personally know deputies from other surrounding counties that work in the schools and can vouch their relationship between law en-forcement and the school system is not comparable. This creates problems for law enforcement and the schools as there can be a lack of understanding about incidents on each side and how they should be handled. I have been told more than once about how unusual it is for a school system and law enforcement to get along and work togeth-er as well as ours.I wanted to take the time to write this so I could bid farewell to the all staff and the kids at the schools because I will definitely miss them. At the same time, I wanted to make sure that everyone should know just how lucky we are here in Davie County and hear about it from someone that has seen it first hand and been an active part of it on the inside of our schools for a long time. God Bless Davie County. Lt. Jeff Jones To the editor:Mr. Barnhardt, I am writing in response to your Aug. 3 editorial, titled Library Woes, in which you stated you dis-agree with the historical way of appointing library board trustees. Despite your being on the same page as the com-missioners, a number of citizens have come forth with a different view and with questions.The question isn’t about authority because Attorney Vogler clarified that. When County Manager Barnett reit-erated, in response to what looked like a staged question at the Aug. 7 meeting, the answer stating the power of the commissioners sounded redundant. In an earlier letter, my question was why and is still why change the precedent at this particular moment in time?On the other hand, I appreciate and hope the majority of readers agree with your view: “community means us all, even people who don’t look or think like we do.” We have had notable growth in our community already and newcomers have brought more diversity. Commissioner Jones has said the best is yet to come. I surmise with our new All- American status, additional people will look this way.To quote from Allan Bloom’s book “The Closing of the American Mind”: “The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity but the one that removes the awareness of other possibilities.” My second question is do we want to try to force uni-formity on our new voters, and old voters for that matter, or allow them to exercise their constitutional rights as we entertain their thoughts, fresh ideas and unknown possi-bilities?Alice Garrett Brown, Mocksville Library trustee question still ‘why?’ Church RecordsBy Linda H. BarnetteTo a genealogist, church records are important sources for research. There is generally a history of the church as well lists of people who were baptized, confirmed, mem-bers along with records of church council and committee meetings. In the old records, there is also discussion of members being expelled from the church along with the reasons. In any case, I am fortunate to have a copy of the records from Sandy Creek Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Tyro area of Davidson County where my dad’s fam-ily went to church and are buried.The church was started by a group of German immi-grants who came to what is now Davidson County in 1773 when it was still a part of Rowan County. The first pastor, C.E. Bernhardt, served from 1787-1788. According to the deed, one Adam Schweissguth, now Swicegood, and his wife Mary Cathron sold to Henry Clemmons and John Gobel, trustees, “the land for the German meeting house known and designated by the name Sandy Creek meeting house, on the waters of Sandy Creek.” Thus the church was generally called Sandy Creek even though its official name is St. John’s Lutheran ChurchThe present building, known at St. Luke’s, is located almost a mile from the original building, not far from the cemetery. The first 2 buildings were destroyed by fire, and all that remains are the stone steps and the iron gate lead-ing to the oldest section of the cemetery. Many of my ancestors are mentioned in the church re-cord book: Gobbles, Becks, Copes, Swaims and Hartleys. Five generations of my dad’s family rest there, the oldest one being Thomas Heartley, 1762-1842 and the most re-cent my grandfather O. H. Hartley 1886-1968. His burial was the first time I had ever gone to the cemetery. Years later when I was working on our family history, I went there many times. Now I go at least once or twice a year to honor them with remembrance.The picture shows the Hartley family’s section of San-dy Creek Cemetery. BaconBy: E. Bishop Recently, I had the opportunity to help out a friend while he and his family went on vacation for a week. All he requested was to feed the chickens, gather the eggs and make sure his two hogs had plenty of water. These small chores brought back a load of childhood memories for me. Some pleasant, some not so pleasant.While gathering eggs, I had to make sure I wore closed in shoes. The last time I did this, all of the hens want-ed to peck my red polished toenails. It was fun gathering the eggs and listening to all of the clucking. As a child growing up on a farm, we had free-range chickens with-out knowing that was the healthiest way to raise chickens. And we always needed to look where we were walking. I’m sure glad we don’t have to kill any for our Sunday dinner now.The two large floppy- eared hogs (maybe Lop-eared Blacks?) were in a pen farther out in the cow pasture where a large container of water stood. We (my husband and I) had to go through the cow pasture (with cows close by) to get to them. I have not been in a cow pasture or around hogs in a long time, so I was a bit nervous about this. Everything went just fine though, and it was a thrill to see the hogs enjoying fresh water from the hose (actually trying to drink from the hose) and watching them dive into the mud puddle they had created. Hope they enjoy them-selves for a little while longer because we all know we love that bacon.Chickens, hogs and cows used to be a staple for any farm such as the one I grew up on. And everything that could be used from them usually was, as in the case of the pig—everything but the squeal. Pigs were one of the ear-liest animals to be domesticated, some saying starting out in the Near East, China and Aegean Sea and brought into Europe by agriculturalists. They were primarily raised for food and pork remains the most widely consumed meat The Hartley Family section of Sandy Creek cemetery in Davidson County. I thought there may be an ongoing party that need-ed checking out. For journalistic reasons, you know. The music is loud, and I like loud music.There’s no party, and no music, either.For officers with the Davie County Sheriff’s Of-fice, the calls themselves have become the nuisance.Just over a week ago, there were 26 calls in one day complaining about loud noises on Yadkin Valley Road, not far from the Farmington entrance off NC 801. All of the calls came from the same man.Those complaints have been going on for weeks. I’ve typed a dozen times, “noise complaint, Yadkin Valley Road, Advance.”When officers arrive, there is no noise.But the elderly man who makes the calls hears the noises - noises that aren’t there.If it was a younger person who knew what they were doing, they would have been hauled off to jail weeks ago. But this is an elderly man apparently suf-fering from some type of dementia, who lives alone.Family members have been contacted, but the calls continue. There’s a large note on his telephone, “Don’t call 911 for noises.” That didn’t work, either. Pleas from officers don’t work.Sheriff J.D. Hartman is at wit’s end. On one hand, his officers are needed elsewhere. Every minute spent on a false call takes away from deterring crime else-where. On that same hand, they can’t quit respond-ing. What if the call turns out to be real? What if the man is facing a serious crisis?Sure, the man could have been arrested weeks ago. But what would that have accomplished? Kudos to the sheriff and his officers for their way of handling this issue. The sheriff is talking with family mem-bers, with attorneys, with dispatchers, with anyone who may be able to help.Hopefully, an answer can be found.While our officers are glad to try to make residents feel reassured when they’re feeling anxious, they can’t be expected to babysit them day after day.- Mike Barnhardt Noises that aren’t really noises at all DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023 - 3 White House Weddings William Frederick “Fred” Pierce was been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (posthumous-ly) and the Air Medal for combat operations in the Pacific during World War II.His sons, Roger Pierce and Fred Pierce, attended the ceremony.Pierce, a lifelong resi-dent of Cooleemee, died in 2010. He had been an Fred Pierce (first row, second from right) during his World War II days. American Legion member for more than 60 years and was a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.He served in Naval Or-dinance as a tail gunner in a B24 Liberator, with the ma-jority of his missions in the Iwo Jima and Chichi Jima areas.“We were humbled and proud to receive these awards on his behalf,” Rog-er said. Fred Pierce awarded medals By Betty Etchison WestFor the Enterprise The sixth wedding in the White House, which was the second wedding of a president’s daughter, was that of Elizabeth Tyler and William Waller, which was held Jan. 31, 1842, 10 years after the previous White House wedding, that of Mary Anne Lewis, a friend of Andrew Jackson’s, and Alphonse Pageot. Elizabeth Tyler was the daughter of President John Tyler and his first wife, Le-titia Christian Tyler. The Tyler/Waller wedding cer-emony was performed in the East Room before the Cabinet members and their wives, diplomats and their wives, family members and close friends, which includ-ed Dolley Madison and other friends from Virginia. The Rev. William Hawley, the pastor of St. John’s Church, which is across Lafayette Square from the White House, performed the ceremony. Vice President John Ty-ler became President when William Henry Harrison, the ninth President died unexpectedly after serving only 31 days of the four-year term to which he was elected. Mr. Tyler was at his home in Virginia when the President died. He rushed to Washington ei-ther on horseback or in a horse drawn carriage. Mr. Tyler was the first vice president to become president and there was some controversary about how much power he should have, etc. He let it be known that he would as-sume all presidential pow-ers without restriction. Ty-ler thereby set a precedent that has been followed until the present time.John Tyler’s wife, Le-titia, was an invalid who stayed in the family quar-ters after the family moved to the White House. She had never appeared in pub-lic, but she did come to her daughter’s wedding. The presence of her mother was so important to the bride. The following de- scription of Letitia Ty-ler is found in Smith and Durbin’s book, “White House Brides”: “She wore a perfectly faultless yet un-ostentatious dress, her face shaded by the soft fine lace of her cap, receiving in her sweet, gentle, self-pos-sessed manner, all the peo-ple who were led up and presented to her. She was by far more attractive to me in her appearance and bear-ing than any other lady in the room.” That was the way that Letitia’s daughter-in-law described her mother-in-law. Normally, Mrs. Tyler stayed in her room knitting with her Bible and Prayer Book nearby so making an appearance at her daugh-ter’s wedding made that a special occasion for all.There was not much public attention given to the wedding because it was private. A reception held the day was enjoyed by many guests. After their wedding the Wallers went to Williams-burg to live, but they of-ten went back to the White House to visit. Elizabeth’s mother died eight months after her daughter’s wed-ding. Two years after the death of his first wife, John Tyler married Julia Gardin-er. Elizabeth had trouble accepting Julia, but, finally, she came to admire her.Eight years after her marriage, Elizabeth died. She and her husband had six children during their eight-year marriage, and it was following the death of the sixth child that she died. Her obituary said, “In the bloom of Youth, not having reached her 27th year, has one of the loveliest of her sex, lovely in all the attri-butes that make up the per-fect character, the beloved daughter, the adored, the Christian mother, descend-ed to the tomb.” What a lovely obituary for an out-standing lady, the daughter of the tenth President of the United States.•It was 32 years before there was another wedding at the White House and that next one was one of the most elaborate that ever took place there. That was the wedding of 17-year-old Nellie Grant to 23-year-old Algernon Charles Frederick Sartoris, an Englishman. President Grant was not happy when he placed his daughter’s hand in that of the English-man. It is said that he had tears in his eyes. The date was May 21, 1874.Nellie was determined to marry Algenon so her mother, Julia Dent Grant, decided that it must be the most beautiful wedding ever. She certainly succeed-ed according to people who were invited to the wed-ding, which was held in the White House East Room. There were 200 people invited and most of those were present for the special occasion of the wedding of a president’s daughter. The following is what the guests saw when they entered the East Room. “The room was given the full neo-Greek treat-ment, with tall pillars jut-ting from the frescoed walls and ornate false beams that spit the ceiling into three sections. Each section was dominated by a colossal $1,800 chandelier made up of thousands of pieces of cut glass. The decorators added to all of this thou-sands of blossoms of tube-roses, spirea, lilies-0n-the-valley and other fragrant flowers that filled the sir with perfume. A dais at one side of the room was lav-ishly bowered with plants and evergreens. A rug giv-en by the Sulton of Turkey covered the dais and over it was a floral arch support-ing a large bell composed of snow-white blossoms. Hanging from the ceiling just behind the marriage bell was a horizontal band of flowers. Near either end of it was a small floral cir-cle, one bearing the bride’s initials and the other the bridegrooms. White sat-in ribbons formed an aisle to this altar and the guests were grouped behind the ribbons.” That description is found in “White House Brides” by Smith and Durbin.Nellie wore a $5,000 wedding dress, and she was accompanied by eight bridesmaids. The ceremony was performed by Rev. O. H. Tiffany of the Metropol-itan Methodist Episcopal Church. The ceremony was followed by a dinner which probably lasted about three hours and may have had as many as 29 courses. About twelve o’clock the guests were given a piece of the wedding cake to carry home.The bride went upstairs where she changed into her traveling clothes. The newlyweds were then driv-en by the President’s four-in-hand team to the depot where a special Pullman car, which was decorated with flags, flowers and ev-ergreens, was waiting to take them to New York. The next day Nellie and her husband sailed on the ship, the Baltic, to England.After such a tremendous beginning, it would be great to say that all lived happily ever after. It did seem like a successful marriage for several years. Nellie gave birth to one son and two daughters, and they came back to America most ev-ery year to visit her parents. There were rumors that all was not well in the Grant/Sartoris marriage, but that was not evident for some time. However, 15 years after that glamor-ous White House wedding, Nellie admitted that her marriage was a failure, and she returned to the United States with her children. By the time she returned, her father Ulysses S. Grant was dead, but her mother welcomed her with open arms. They lived in Wash-ington where all doors were open to Nellie. Years later Nellie mar-ried Frank J. Jones of Chi-cago, an Assistant Postmas-ter General in the Cleveland Administration. Need cash fast? Try this!

District Court 8 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023 Bless Your Spoon By Stephanie Williams Dean Watching a parade is a fun way to celebrate a holiday. My favorite part is when the bands go marching by. But the grand band performances at NightBEAT, touted as “The Greatest Show on Turf,” was no small celebratory march down a narrow street. The evening had been one for the big leagues – a top show on Drum Corps International’s Summer Tour, fea-turing 12 of the most competitive performing corps in the world. Every summer, these top-performing ensembles and specialized marching arts corps come to the stadium at Wake Forest University for a competition. Most of us were there rooting for Carolina Crown, one of the world’s top marching ensembles, consistently plac-ing at a world-class level – one of the top six corps. Now that’s impressive. While guests never get their fill of these amazing shows– their tummies were sat-isfied at the pre-show. Mem-bers of the Crown Club filled up on a second-to-none buffet – a tasty spread fit for the crowd of “crowned” fans. Folks loaded up their plates with selected dish-es. The perfectly planned and well-executed menu featured a selection of hearty foods – the fla-vors of each perfectly combined. Showtime followed. I watched in amazement as the motions of all performers were in sync, forming complex patterns seen on the field. The creativity and precision of the performing corps were incredible. Each show was precisely 12 minutes. These expertly orchestrated, marching ensembles with brass and color guard – all in spectacularly cho-reographed, precise formations– were in fact, breathtak-ing.Do you ever stop to consider how the earth, sun, moon, and stars perfectly stand in alignment as memorials to the fact that God has created? The precise placement of stars and planets and the way everything is so beautifully and perfectly formed – is truly a testament to the one true God. God is the ultimate designer and creator of the fundamen-tal laws of nature, on which all other laws depend, and so on. God is the law-creator. We understand our God to be a God of order in every way – and not one of chaos. 1 Corinthians 14: 33 reads, “For God is not a God or disorder but of peace.” For a moment, let’s stop and consider the proper align-ment of our lives. God tells us that we must be in proper alignment with Him before we can be effective anywhere or to anyone. When we are out of line, our God-given identities aren’t reflected in good works.

Feral hogs were brought over by early settlers and somehow now have become a nuisance in a lot of places. Free-range livestock management practices and escapees from enclosures have led to a feral swine population ex-plosion. Some sources state that it only takes a few months in the wild for a hog to turn feral. It is scary to think about; feral hogs have been spotted along the Yadkin River in Davie County. Hope some of those hunters looking for them like wild bacon.You do know that bacon is not a health food, right? Why do we see bacon added to every conceivable dish in the American diet? A little-known fact is that bacon contains umami which produces an addictive neurochemi-cal response. When cooking, bacon breaks down to create taste compounds that are sweet, buttery and salty. It’s no wonder we love it so much. The View from the Cheap SeatsBy Katie Bell I first heard the expression, the “nosebleed section” when I went to a hockey game as a young girl. I thought it meant I might get hit in the face with the puck, but as we climbed the mountain of stairs to get to our seats, I realized that was very unlikely. So I figured it must be because of the high altitude, thin air and my pounding heart rate.I didn’t mind, though. I could still see Steve Yzerman from row Quadruple Z. I watched his every move. I saw the shirt he wore under his jersey, which was the same one he wore in the poster hanging on my wall. I could study the details of his warm up routine. I could hear the whistle blow, the siren sound of a goal being scored. The seats in the back row were cheaper, but I didn’t mind. The roar of the crowd was arguably louder from the top of the arena. appreciate and respect the opportunity for a bird’s eye view. The long walk and hard work it takes to get a view from afar. The panorama allows for a more comprehen-sive survey of the surroundings. What might I miss if I was sitting down in the front row?As parents, we punch our tickets for a front row seat to our children’s growth. They shed all their layers and the different hats they wear all day when they are with us. They can sink into the couch or their beds, turn off their public persona and relax. We are observing our children through a magnifying glass. We closely inspect whether they are active enough, need new shoes, and are ready for school. But we don’t always get a chance for a broader perspective. Lately, I’ve noticed my children building relationships with other adults in their lives outside of the family. They have “inside jokes” and shared experiences with their teachers, coaches and friends’ parents that allow their light to shine outside of my shadow. I’m not able to make ad-justments to ensure they are being polite, inclusive, and safe. I’m not there to say “good job” or “maybe you should.” They are just being, which enriches their person-alities. It’s as if their father and I are holding the mirror, but what our children place in front of it is purely them. All of the values we try to instill are best practiced by our chil-dren when we aren’t around. We won’t truly know if our influence on them sticks if they remain glued to our side.As an elementary school educator, I get to know stu-dents in a way that is different from a parent’s perspec-tive. It is a view from the cheap seats maybe, because their parents have the investment of raising them, especial-ly through those important and challenging toddler years. Then the parents hustle off to earn a living, entrusting the school staff to hold the mirror for their children all day. When the reflection gets distorted, we help them make ad-justments. Then we hand the mirror back to mom and dad at the end of the day for them to notice any changes that might have happened on our watch. Educators build rich relationships with their students, but sometimes hardly know the parents that have been growing them, the light from which their child’s reflec-tion shines. From the cheap seats, we watch the students replicate as they grow into bigger versions of themselves. It is sometimes a strange thing though, when we see a stu-dent with their parents in our everyday lives. We have shared hours with these children outside of their parents’ wing, we hold conversations with them, and the parent might think who is this person that my child just ran to hug. Adults with the common bond of a child, yet we may not even know each other’s first name.It is a special thing to be a spectator and cheerleader, especially in the lives of children as they grow. To be one of their many fans, all rooting for them to win! I might not always be in the front row, especially as my own children grow up. But I am always grateful for the view, even if it is from the cheap seats. Serving Winston-Salem, Clemmons, and Surrounding Areas Sports Cards,Memorabilia andCollectibles!

It didn’t. The War Eagles scored two touchdowns in 3:03, and thanks to Braddock Coleman’s onside kick and recovery, they were in position to force overtime or steal it at the end. Then came three incomplete passes in the final four plays and a reminder that life doesn’t always have neat and tidy outcomes like movies or novels. The Blue Devils held on 31-24 in the Aug. 18 season opener at War Eagle Stadium. “We talk about staying together no matter what happens, and keep playing and keep playing and keep playing,” Davie coach Tim Dever-icks said. “And they did.”Davie’s offense came out slug-gish and its defense absorbed some dents in the first 14 minutes. After both teams combined for six yards on the first three possessions of the game, Mooresville sophomore receiver Dominic Morin made the first big play, getting behind the secondary for 60 yards to the Da-vie 3. One play later, Mooresville had a 7-0 lead. But Davie’s own sophomore receiver, Ethan Driver, delivered a spectacular performance in his first real varsity action. (He had cameo appearances as a freshman and three catches; he had eight receptions against Mooresville.) On Davie’s third offensive series, three Ty Miller passes to Driver accounted for 58 of 63 yards as Davie moved into field-goal range. Max McCall, a junior transfer from Lake Norman, has come out of no-where to fill a huge void at kicker, and he converted a 26-yard try to get Davie on the board, 7-3. McCall would also come through with three point-after kicks in as many tries. He moved to Davie County less than a month ago, “and I’ve been enjoying By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Mooresville’s third-quarter explosion sent the Blue Devils to a 41-22 win over Davie’s JV football team in the season opener on Aug. 17. Mooresville outscored visiting Davie 27-0 in the third, but the night wasn’t a total loss. “That was a good learning experience for us,” coach Tim Devericks said. “We played hard and we made plays. We had a few mistakes, but you’re going to have that in the first game.”The War Eagles had the ball with a chance to take the lead late in the second quarter. The oppor-tunity was thwarted by a bad snap and Mooresville took a 7-6 lead to halftime. It was anybody’s game at that point, but the Blue Devils took the game by the throat in the third, their scoring spree creating a 34-6 gap. Davie made the margin closer by scoring 16 points in the fourth. Despite the loss, Devericks saw good things on both sides of the ball. Defensively, freshman out-side linebacker Jsiere Arnold had an incredible high school debut. “He was taking on two or three blockers, shaking them and mak-ing the play at the line of scrim-mage or making a tackle for loss,” Devericks said. “He was running it down from the backside. He’s extremely athletic and has a really bright future.”Sophomore cornerback CJ Moore made a jaw-dropping in-terception. “It was a slant that was kind of overthrown,” Devericks said. “He was covering the guy and he went up and one-handed it. I didn’t see it (live). When I watched it on film, I was like: ‘Dang.’”Sophomore quarterback Ja-marius Pelote threw three inter-ceptions, but he compensated by rushing for 107 yards on 17 attempts. “His ability to keep a defense honest and not crash down from the backside helps the offensive line, and it helps the running backs,” Devericks said. Devericks gave a thumbs up to freshmen running backs Jayce Bentley (18 carries for 87 yards) and Cameron Knox (3-20). “With both of them being freshmen, I thought they did really well,” he said. Receiver Dallas Simms looks like a man on a mission. After playing sparingly as a freshman, he hauled in three TD catches in the scrimmage and he followed that up by making four grabs for 76 yards at Mooresville, including a 49-yard score. “Dallas worked his butt off in the offseason,” Devericks said. “With this being his second year in the system, he’s confident in himself and confident in the routes he’s supposed to run. And that helps you play faster.”Notes: Pelote and Bentley had TD runs. ... Pelote went 8 of 16 for 81 passing yards. Sophomore Aid-en Hall also saw time at QB and hit 3 of 7 for 72 yards, including the scoring strike to Simms. ... Knox had 51 total yards, including two catches for 31. Making one catch each were Mack Ridenhour (19 yards), Bentley (11), James May-field (seven), Ian Patton (five) and Colt Miller (four). Arnold turns heads as JVs lose opener Frantic comback falls short it ever since,” he said. “I saw they were missing a kicker, so I volunteered to do it. You know, I have a little bit of kicking ex-perience from Lake Norman (on JV in 2022), but I want to keep improving.”“Being 100 percent on extra points tonight was a huge thing,” Devericks said. Morin torched Davie more than once in the first half. His 26-yard reception transported Mooresville into the red zone, and it had a 14-3 lead after an 11-play, 75-yard drive. About two minutes later, Morin hauled in a bomb for a 59-yard score. The 21-3 margin with 10:16 left in the second quarter prompted groans from the large home crowd. “That’s a really good team we played tonight that returned a lot of guys from last year,” Devericks said. “At the same time, we’ve got to realize we can be a really good team if we execute a little better early on.”At this point, Morin had three catches for 145 yards, but things got a lot better for Davie’s de-fense. Morin would catch only one more pass the rest of the night. Davie held the Blue Devils to one touchdown on their last seven possessions. After they went ahead 21-3, they gained 93 yards on 25 rushes, a 3.7 average. Their two quarterbacks went 3 of 11 for 40 yards. On the their last seven pos-sessions, they averaged 3.6 yards per play, and their longest run of the night was 17 yards. Davie’s defense allowed at least 5 yards per carry each of the last four seasons, including 6 in 2022. In that respect, Davie’s defense over the last two-plus quarters was a breath of fresh air. Senior safety Eli Branham was the leader with 11 tackles. “From last year to this year, it was phenomenal improvement,” Devericks said. “But as coach Nic (Blaine Nicholson) told them, we’re not looking for moral vic-tories. He’s going to challenge them, and those guys want to be challenged.”After failing to score on five of its first six possessions, Davie’s By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Ellis’ football team couldn’t have been much happier with its first game of the season, a 28-0 beatdown at North Rowan on Aug. 16. The Jaguars have actually been feeling fantastic for a while now. The win extended their winning streak to 16 games, breaking a tie for the longest streak in their 17-year history. The Jags, who went 8-0 and 7-0 the past two seasons, ripped off 15 in a row from 2010-12. Ellis win sets record By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Draeton Nance accounted for three touchdowns and South Da-vie’s football team cruised past visiting Erwin in the debut of the Tri-County Conference on Aug. 15. The bad news: South’s electri-fying receiver, Noah Dulin, was lost for the season with a sec-ond-half injury. Dulin, a basketball star as well, will recover in plenty of time for hoops, but his broken collarbone early in the second half put a damper on South’s victory. Dulin had a substantial catch-and-run on a bubble screen to open the scoring. Nance and Dulin, who are brothers, hooked up for anoth-er touchdown on a fourth-down pass in the second quarter. Dulin also played cornerback and some running back. “Losing Noah takes away a lot of what we do,” coach Germain Mayfield said. “He (had a catch for) 50 or 60 yards and got ran down. The guy rolled over on him wrong and broke his clavicle.” Key injury in SD win Byerly wins ND debut By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Beau Byerly’s head-coaching career for North Davie football began with a 27-0 destruction of China Grove on Aug. 17. Byerly distinguished himself in the Davie sports world as a receiver for the awesome 2016 War Eagles. Chris Reynolds tossed 29 touchdown passes during that 12-2 season, and Byerly was on the receiving end of seven of them. Now he’s leading the Wildcats after Timmy Allen left to take the wrestling position across the river at West Forsyth High. After the Wildcats struggled to 3-4 and 2-4 records the past two years, they got off to a blistering start on the road. It was 21-0 at the end of the first quarter, 27-0 at halftime, and Byerly called off the dogs in the second half.

Key ... Continued From Page B1It was a very encourag-ing first game for North’s seventh-grade quarterback, Levi Morales. “He’s very good,” Byerly said. “We throw a lot. I’ve got a lot of pride in little Levi. He knows the game. He does a lot of traveling stuff (in football). He’s been around it, so I’ve got a lot of faith in him. He shined pretty bright. He did throw two picks, but one was on me. He threw a lot of good balls.”Running back Isaiah Hernandez and receiver/running back Carter Cornett were big factors. Hernandez ran for two touchdowns. Cornett also scored twice, once on a pass from Morales and then on a run. “Isaiah is a little shifty Debut ... BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT The BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT- An AFFORDABLE marketing choice!

This was the first North-China Grove meeting since 2006, the year after the old Piedmont Con-ference broke up. This is the first year of the Tri-County Conference. South Davie’s softball team squandered a 13-run lead but held on to beat visiting Southeast in a wild 24-23 slugfest on Aug. 17. South softball holds on for 24-23 slugfest win It was a big bounce back for the Tigers, who three days earlier were battered 15-0 at China Grove in the season opener. At home against South-east, the Tigers built a 14-1 lead in the bottom of the sec-ond. They were cruising 23-13 after the fourth, but the Patriots made them sweat it out. They roared back within 23-21 in the fifth, and they tied it 23-23 in the top of the sixth. South, though, pulled it out in the bottom of the seventh, giving Landon Mummert his first victory as the new head coach. The game lasted more than three hours. “I’m proud of our girls,” assistant coach Russell Hil-ton said. “They fought and battled through a long and hot game.”C‑L 24, Ellis 15Ellis faced an 18-1 deficit after the top of the fourth. The Jaguars could not climb all the way back, but give them credit for fighting til the end in a 24-15 home loss to Corriher-Lipe on Aug. 17. Karah Shore (2 for 3, two runs, four RBIs, two walks) and Victoria Patton (2-2, four runs, three walks) led the Ellis offense in its first game of the season. Getting one hit each were Mere-dith Jones (1-4, three runs, two walks, triple), Adalae Massey (1-3, two walks) and Annabelle Wright (1-3, two runs, three walks). Ellie Burton and Piper Williams drew four and two walks, respectively. Continued From Page B1 After South took a 14-0 lead to halftime, Dreighton Lunnerman and Nance pro-vided second-half TDs on a kickoff return and running play, respectively. With Dulin on the shelf, Mayfield will turn to Lun-nerman, a seventh grader who plays receiver and de-fensive back. While he lacks experience, he’s unquestion-ably gifted. “We still have opportu-nities because Lunnerman is probably our best play-er,” Mayfield said. “He’s still learning the game, but he’s probably got the most potential on the field. He’s got that football body. He’s tall and long. He’s got good size. It’s just about learning the game and knowing what to do. I was hoping to bring him along slow, but he’s going to have to take over the load now.”Nance, who threw two TDs and ran for one, is going to be something to watch on both sides of the ball. When he’s not running the show on offense, he’s headhunting at linebacker. “He hits people on de-fense,” Mayfield said. South has a four-game winning streak dating to last year’s 4-3 season. “I think we’re going to be OK,” he said. “We’ve got the poten-tial to be pretty good.”This was South’s first matchup with Erwin since 2005, when South and North Davie were part of the Pied-mont Conference. Ellis mixed seven hits with 20 walks. Ellis’ new coach is Court-ney Lamb, who replaced Chris Callison. The roster includes Lily Tronsen, Kyn-dall Upright, Aubrey Ander-son, Hannah Hajek, Bella Blalock, Maleah Sparks and Lacie Tesnar. DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023 ‑ B3 The recent success of a local fisherman at the coast reminded me that we’re ap-proaching the peak months of one of the most-exciting fisheries in North Carolina: big drum in the Neuse Riv-er.An old hunting buddy was fishing for tarpon with a guide out of Oriental the other day, and they stopped on a spot to catch some slot-sized reds on the way back to port. On about the third cast with a standard medium-action spinning rod, my buddy hooked a monster.The big red almost spooled his 3000 class spinning reel twice, and fi-nally, after two hours, the guide was slipping the huge fish’s head into the landing net, grabbing its tail and lifting it into the boat. The fish was 49 inches long – which usually indicates about a 50-pound bull red. It was quickly revived and released.North Carolina prob-ably has no better fish-ery, salt or fresh, than the catch-and-release fishery for giant reds in August and September near the mouth of the Neuse and across the Pamlico Sound. Big fish are moving back into their spawning areas, where they will remain for several months before the water cools and they make their way back to the ocean through North Carolina’s many inlets. That’s when the surf fishermen who line Buxton’s Cape Point do battle with big reds on huge, heavy surf rods. Most bull reds will be caught this month and next, especially around the full moons, by anglers fishing live or cut bait on the bottom around shoals and sandbars in the sound and river af-ter dark, but some will be caught on heavier tackle under big popping-cork rigs using soft-plastic ar-tificials. Because fish lon-ger than 27 inches can’t be kept, anglers fishing in the Pamlico are required to use a single, barbless cir-cle hook on a short leader. Called an Owen Lupton rig, it is required when fishing in the Pamlico Sound \with a hook larger than 4/0 be-tween July 1 and Sept. 30, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.The short leader is tied to a barrel swivel, and a big egg sinker is threaded onto the running line above the swivel. That allows the baitfish to move a bit – or the chunk of cut bait to sway in the water, putting off scent. The big drum generally picks the bait up, and the circle hook usually catches the red in the corner of the mouth, making him easier to handle during the fight and easier to release in good shape when the fight’s over.Novice hunter webinars The N.C. Wildlife Re-sources Commission has put a lot of emphasis over the past 10 or so years on recruiting new sportsmen to hunting and fishing.But the commission doesn’t stop when they sell you a license.

Miller flipped a little pass to Coleman to convert a third-and-6 situation. On fourth-and-4 from the Mooresville 37, Miller found Grey Deal for 18 yards. On the next play, Miller hit Driver for 17. Miller scored from the 2 with only two seconds on the clock as Davie cut the halftime margin to 21-10.In the third quarter, though, the Blue Devils regained control by driving 51 yards for a touchdown and hitting a 34-yard field goal. With 7:11 to play, the score was 31-10 and Davie looked like roadkill. An experienced Moores-ville defense was having its way with Miller, running back Markel Summers and the Davie offense. Moores-ville returned nine defensive starters from a 10-2 team in 2022, including all four line-backers and all four DBs. “These guys have been in big games,” Mooresville coach Joe Nixon told the Mooresville Tribune in pre-season. “They know what it’s like to win a conference championship. They got to the second round of the playoffs. Having that valu-able experience as Friday night players, hopefully that helps propel us into taking the next step.”But in a remarkable turn of events, the War Eagles rose from the dead. A sack put Davie in a third-and-17 hole, but Miller hooked up with Carter Helton for 19 yards, and a 15-yard penalty on Mooresville was tacked on. On fourth-and-9 from the Mooresville 27, Miller connected in the end zone with Evan York. The 11-play, 65-yard drive only burned 3:07 off the clock, and it was 31-17 with 4:04 remaining.

He got the big bounce that kickers shoot for, but Mooresville recovered it. Davie had to have a quick stop, and that’s exactly what happened. Outside lineback-er Zander Richardson had a minus-3 tackle, Mooresville went 3-and-out and then got off a bad punt (19 yards) as Davie took over at its 35. On third-and-10, a Miller pass to Driver was good for 14 yards. On fourth-and-inches, offensive coordina-tor Matt Gould wrong-foot-ed the defense by calling a pass, and Miller flipped it to Driver for 2 yards. Miller and Helton connected for 17. A Driver touchdown was called back by a penalty, but on the next play, Driver caught a 28-yarder in the back of the end zone. Of Miller’s five completions on the 11-play drive, four went to Driver. Davie roared 65 yards in less than two minutes and McCall’s PAT made it 31-24 with 1:01 left. It was a scrapbook kind of performance for Driver, who turned eight catches into 125 yards.“I just wanted to do the best I could,” said the low-key Driver, who seems con-tent to let his play do the talking. “The team relied on me, I rely on them and that helped me succeed.”“We saw that coming for Ethan,” Devericks said. “He’s put in the work. He’s a great athlete and he’s hit a little growth spurt, too. So I think it’s just all come to-gether for him. He competes all the time. He wants to do his very best on every play. That’s how you get better and that’s how you make people around you better.”Again, it was onside kick time. Not only did Coleman execute the kick, he jumped on it at the Mooresville 49 at 0:56. “That was a phenomenal play,” Devericks said. Miller threw incomplete to Driver on first down, but Mooresville committed pass interference against Cole-man on second down. Davie had a fresh set of downs at the Mooresville 34. But it wasn’t to be. While Davie didn’t have enough oomph to score for a third time in the last 4:04 - it only gained 6 yards over the last four plays - the comeback was something to behold as Davie ran 27 of the last 30 offensive snaps. “We can be a really good team,” Devericks said. “It’s just getting these young men to believe that. That’s the main thing we’re fighting right now.”Notes: It wasn’t a vintage performance by Davie’s top offensive weapons. Miller passed for 243 yards, but he needed 47 throws to do it. Summers, a 1,000-yard rusher in 2022, was held to 26 yards. Give cred-it to a splendid Moores-ville defense. ... The game marked the anticipated high school debut for freshman linebacker Elijah Chaffin, who responded with eight tackles, second only to Bra-nham’s 11. “He’s got a de-meanor like Ethan Driver. You’re not going to rattle Elijah,” Devericks said. “He’s going to be even keel. He’s extremely intelligent in the football realm, and I’m sure he is in the classroom, too. Football-wise, he’s only got to be told one time.” ... Junior safety Connor Hood and junior linebacker Archer Richardson had six tackles each. ... The second of three nonconference games is Fri-day night at West Rowan at 7. The Falcons are coming off a 38-27 loss to Kan-napolis. They led by scores of 13-3, 19-10 and 27-24 before fading in the fourth. ... Last year West scored on a 42-yard pass with 2:18 remaining to edge Davie 35-34 in a barnburner that featured five lead changes, 961 yards of offense and 10 TDs. ... Davie leads the W.

B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 24, 2023 Davie’s varsity soccer team was kicking itself after a 2-0 season-opening loss at Starmount on Aug. 15. Take away the first five minutes and this could have been a different outcome. “We played great soccer. We just gave up two goals in the first 4:30 of the game, and we just couldn’t recover after that,” coach Marco Re-bollar said. “We controlled most of the game.” The Rams have piled up nine straight winning seasons, including a 13-7-1 mark in 2022. They went 141-47-6 from 2014-22. By contrast, Davie only man-aged 17 victories during the same span. Two days later, though, the War Eagles had no chance against visiting West Iredell. After tying Atkins 0-0 in their opener, the War-riors blew out Davie 5-0.
