It takes 28 credits to graduate from Davie County High School.Earlier this month, state legis-lators adopted rules that include language that each school district must post a three-year, 22-credit path for graduation.That plan caused many super-intendents - including Davie’s Jeff Wallace - to wonder about the future.Schools, he said, are working with the legislature on plans to allow the 28-credit graduation re-quirement - which most districts have - while still stating a three-year graduation plan. Those stu-dents would likely have to fill out a waiver to the 28-credit plan.Wallace’s comments came at the board’s October meeting, the first in the Mebane Educa-tion Center on US 601 South in Mocksville, at the site of the for-mer Davie High School.The naming of the building af-ter Allen Mebane and the Mebane Charitable Foundation is appro-priate, Wallace said.“Mr. Mebane and the Mebane Foundation have donated mil-lions of dollars to Davie County Schools, therefore we felt hon-ored to have the opportunity to name this after Mr. Mebane.” 3-year graduation plan likely 2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023Editorial Page USPS 149-160 171 S.

Tell us what you think The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Please See Renegade ‑ Page 3 Elisabeth Strillacci Some history on Halloween Have you recovered from Tuesday’s Halloween fun?I know it’s not everyone’s favorite, but I happen to have a husband who is a tremendous amateur actor and who absolutely loves Halloween, where he can engage his considerable talents. He has always been one to make his own costumes, and for a man who has just the basic sewing skills, he has always done incredibly well.Several years ago, he dressed as a burglar. He had the striped shirt, black pants, gloves, black cap and the mask on his face. He slung the bag of candy over his shoulder. When kids would come to the door, he would open it and back out, tiptoe-ing, then turn, startled to find he’d been caught. He’d offer the kids candy if they would let him get away. For three years now, a neighbor’s child has come to our door looking for the burglar.It’s a fun holiday, when we all can have the chance to be something or someone we are not. It is also an ancient celebration that began as All Hallows’ Eve, the night before All Saints Day. It comes from medieval Christianity, and hallows means both holy and saint in Middle and Old English. It was be-lieved that All Hallows’ Eve or Halloween was the time when the veil between this life and the next was thinnest, and communication with loved ones on the other side was the most possible. And while that is a lovely idea, it is also how we made the leap to believing Halloween is haunted. Because it’s ghosts that are allegedly on the other side.Jack-o-lanterns were incorporated from the Gaelic festival of Samhain, and is considered the first known secular roots of our current Halloween. Not only did the carved pumpkins come from that, but so did bonfires and costumes.So it is both a religious and pagan holiday in its origin, but truly, never evil.Trick or treating had an interesting start, called “souling,” in which people went door to door asking for “soul cakes,” similar to biscuits these days, in exchange for prayers for the souls in purgatory to be released to heaven. In the early to mid-1900s here in the states, it evolved into families giving children candy to prevent them from playing pranks or tricks.In recent years, many communities have Trunk or Treats or a city-sponsored event downtown now, and I think that is in part a response to safety concerns, and that makes me sad. How bad has it gotten that we cannot let our children go house to house in our own neighborhood to collect costume admiration and candy from people we know?Are we really that disconnected, that the world is that unsafe? It seems we feel that way. And that is disappoint-ing. Because, as I say often, if we cannot rely on and trust one another, who else is there?Nonetheless, I look forward to Hallow-een, and in part, the thrills and chills that come with it. I am not a fan of movies that exist only to have blood splattered every-where and people killed left and right and a hanging ending so there can be a sequel or five (think Halloween or Friday the 13th). I know those have their fans and they can have them.Give me suspense. My favorite Hallow-een thriller, though it’s not about Halloween at all, is Jagged Edge, with Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges. It does have adult themes, so if you have younger kids, it’s a bit much, but if you have never seen it, get to streaming. My other favorite is an old one – The Haunting, made in 1963, and perhaps the best of the three versions though they are all decent. The plot relies on psychological terror instead of the usual visual gore.I think the reason I prefer these and stories like them is because I have never been afraid of monsters or goblins or vampires, but I am afraid of people. Real humans who, for whatever reason, let the bad overrule the good. The idea that their negative energy lasts even when the body is gone bothers me, truly frightens me. Energy, once cre-ated, is here to stay, and though I don’t believe so much in ghosts, I do believe negative energy sticks around and can fill up a space.Dracula and I could have been friends, as long as he understood I was not the snack he was looking for. The monster under my bed can have bedtime cookies as long as he please does not snore too loudly.But the cruel person who hurts others and tries to justify it, or worse, does it because they get some benefit – self confidence, pleasure, whatever – nope, I’m out. Ted Bundy was never gonna be a friend.I hope your scares were truly more startles, that make you laugh afterward, and no actual frights that caused harm. I hope you dodged any tricks, and that if anyone crossed the veil to visit Tuesday night, it was someone you needed to hear from, and it brought you love. Elisabeth Striallacci is a former editor of the Salisbury Post. Zachary Smith Reynolds, Part IBy Linda H. BarnetteZachary Smith Reynolds was the youngest child of R. J. and Katherine Reynolds, the famous tobacco family in Winston-Salem. His siblings were brother Dick and sisters Nancy and Mary, all born to the richest man in North Car-olina at that time-1911. The children grew up at the now famous Reynolda House, an estate planned and built over a period of 6 years and completed in 1917, the master plan of Katherine Reynolds. Imagine this: she told her husband that she wanted a country estate, and he told her to get exactly what she wanted!Reynolda is a 1,067-acre estate, which at the time that it was built, was astounding. The house had 64 rooms, an elevator, 14 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, a pool, a bowling alley, and much more that was rare for that time period. It was furnished in exquisite pieces from all over the world as well as many famous paintings. The family employed numerous servants, and the children were brought up with every luxury, even their very own school on the estate.Unfortunately, both parents died not long after the move to Reynolda, R. J. in 1919 and Katherine in 1921. At that point the children became the responsibility of their fa-ther’s brother, William Neal Reynolds. They were all sent to boarding schools with Smith going to Woodberry Forest in Virginia, where he was very unhappy and eventually came back home and attended Reynolds High School and dropped out at 15. Early on he was interested in aviation probably because of his brother’s business. Smith took flying lessons as a teen and bought his own airplane, got his pilot’s license, and entertained his family by putting on airshows for them on the front lawn at Reynolda. His biggest achievement as a pilot was flying 17,000 miles over land in 1931-32. Unfortunately, his very ex-pensive plane developed problems, and he was not able to complete his flight. He did make a name for himself in the aviation world, and his pilot’s license was signed by Orville Wright!!Before his ill-fated flight, he had been dating Anne Can-non, heiress of the famous Cannon Mills family in Con-cord. They married soon after, and the marriage ended in divorce after a short time. Smith reportedly had a very bad temper. In any case, Anne had their daughter in 1930 and sent her to live with her grandparents in Blowing Rock. Smith met the actress Libby Holman shortly after his divorce was final when he was visiting friends in New York City and saw her perform on Broadway. According to all descriptions, she was very beautiful and very pop-ular, a talented singer several years his senior. He fell in love with her immediately and followed her all over the country insisting that she marry him. Because Smith threatened suicide several times, she finally agreed, and they were married on November 29, 1931, 6 days after his divorce from Anne Cannon was final. Sources include visits to Reynolda, books about the family, as well as encyclopedia articles online. Theological PonderingsBy Stephanie Williams DeanBlaise Pascal was a child prodigy who grew into a French philosopher, scientist, mathematician, and theolo-gian. As a young intellectual, he emphasized the human tragedy – divine through creation yet perfectly miserable due to the fall. I first learned of what is known as “Pascal’s Wager” when I was taking a course in theology for graduate school. A wager is similar to an act of betting or gambling on the outcome of an unpredictable event.Pascal’s wager promotes the idea that one should be-lieve in God for practical reasons, because of what one can gain if theism is true – and what one has to lose if theism is false. So Pascal offered a pragmatic reason for believing in God. He analyzed the conundrum this way – if we wager that God exists and we’re right – we gain an eternity in heaven. Pure bliss – the ultimate payoff. And if we wager that God exists and we’re wrong – we are no worse off. But if we wager that God does not exist and we are wrong – we are much worse off. We lose eternal life and experience eternal misery instead. I was taught of Pascal’s wager as an aspect of theology – and not as a reason to believe in God. And I share this with you today in that same vein – theological informa-tion. To me, to believe in God because of a wager – would be a belief that flies in the face of faith.However, Pascal argued that for a man who didn’t be-lieve in God – it was a reason to believe. Do you think anyone could truly adopt a belief simply by deciding to? The Reynolda House in Winston-Salem. The news came with excitement.Bermuda Run was ranked as the No. 1 place in the United States for an affordable retirement.We already knew it was a great place, but the most af-fordable?Realtor.com thinks so.An article about the rankings on the website even came with comments from local Realtor Amanda Cranfill. It looked at towns with above average median ages and be-low average home prices ($435,450 nationally), and prox-imity to larger cities with health care facilities.Here’s what Realtor.com had to say:“Nestled just outside the southwestern edge of the Win-ston-Salem area, Bermuda Run is a small community ooz-ing Southern charm and natural beauty. With a median list price of $179,000, it’s our most affordable retiree-friendly locale.“Worth noting: There is a significant price gap between most condos and single-family homes in the area. The me-dian condo list price is about $169,000, whereas the me-dian single-family home is around $387,000. While that’s significantly more, it’s still well below what retirees would pay in other parts of the country.“On top of the great price ranges for homes in Bermuda Run, local real estate agent Cranfill says the town offers a variety of amenities that attract older adults.“‘There are community events, like live concerts in the town square. There are volunteering opportunities at the public schools and local charitable groups,’ she says. And yeah, there’s plenty of golf, tennis, and pickleball, too.“Cranfill says Bermuda Run draws retirees especially from the Northeast—largely for one notable reason: low property taxes. The state also doesn’t tax Social Security benefits.“‘In 25 years of doing this, I hear from folks from New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, when they call and ask what the taxes are, and I tell them,” Cranfill says. “And they think I’m giving them a quarterly tax bill, and I have to tell them, ‘no, that’s for the whole year.’”Be happy, but take the news for what it’s worth.US News put out it’s Top 25 list of most affordable places to retire. Bermuda Run wasn’t even on the list, al-though Winston-Salem was 12th, just ahead of Hickory and behind Asheville at No. 7. They picked Ft. Wayne, Ind. as the most affordable place to retire.Maybe so. But we’ll take Bermuda Run every time.- Mike Barnhardt Bermuda Run at the top of the list DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023 - 3 Local news. In your inbox. For free.

BishopIt used to be a very stable and lucrative crop for farmers; it did not require a lot of acreage to grow it; anyone grow-ing it was called the 13th month farmer because before harvesting was even done, the farmer was already work-ing on the next year’s crop. Allotments for the crop were doled out; only specific amounts of acreage could be used in any given year or the farmer would be penalized. Under the “farmer certification” method through the Department of Agriculture, you certify your crop acreages (with copies of maps) instead of a reporter visiting your farm and mea-suring the crops (from letter my mother saved from April 1971). I also have a saved common stock certificate at $5 per share with an accompanying card with the matching Certificate Number from 1947. I find these saved artifacts interesting to read although I’m not sure what some re-ally mean. I do know though that harvesting tobacco in the hottest, most miserable part of the year was also the most physically demanding part of being a tobacco farm-er. And, it used to be one of the most labor intensive and time-consuming crops where the farmer spent more on hired labor costs than on any other crop. Instead of hiring helpers, most often the farmer’s chil-dren were the help. But when the harvest came in and extra help was needed, neighbors pitched in knowing they may need help themselves. It was hard work but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t a little fun sometime too. One of the fun things I remember is riding the sled used to carry the pulled tobacco from the field. It was long and narrow with sacks tacked to the sides. A rough ride. Actu-ally, that’s probably the only fun thing I remember! My older brother Pete, who loved to tell stories from his child-hood, had me record him telling the following story from those long ago days. “Back, back years ago when we was all young, Daddy raised tobacco, and he’d always get this neighbor, Miss Emily, to help, and she would come in about daylight and start working in the field. The field of tobacco was way over beside the house, tobacco barn was way around the road back in the woods over there (Pete would point in the direction where the old home place buildings stood) and uh, Daddy and John Albert (another neighbor) was over there priming, uh, pulling tobacco off the stalk and putting it in the sled, and they’d bring it around to the, to the tobacco barn where Mother and others were all tying (putting tobacco on sticks).

Daddy went back and Ol’ Charlie he kept a-watching when he was loading that tobacco. He just kept looking at him, then when they had that loaded and they pulled another armful each and went to lay it in the sled, Miss Emily got her arm full first and she went to put it in the sled, Ol’ Charlie, he took off with the sled about the time she bent over to put that arm-ful in.

This musical instrument will soon find its home in the recently unveiled chapel at St. John Vianney Seminary.While the organ boasts a modest configuration, com-prising a total of 14 stops across two manual keyboards, its impact on the seminary, the university, and the broad-er Minneapolis community promises to be nothing short of profound, said Dr. Jacob Benda, the university’s di-rector of music.“No effort was spared to ensure that every note reso-nating from the instrument was an enchanting experi-ence,” said Tom Lewtak, builder.The open house featured the talents of Benda, also the universitys professor of Sacred Arts, and Organ . He en-tertained guests with a performance on the new organ. A guided tour of the workshop followed that offered guests a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship be-hind this creation.Organ builder, Tom Lewtak of Mocksville, with Dr. Jacob Benda, who will be playing it at the Univer- sity of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn. - Photo by Stephanie Dean New pipe organ demonstrated at local workshop La Antorcha Guadalupa-na, or the Guadalupan torch run, is organized annually by Asociación Tepeyac, in which a flame is brought overland from the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City to Saint Patrick’s Ca-thedral in New York City. The runners will arrive in Mocksville on Wednes-day, Nov. 8 around 4 p.m. at Rich Park. Members of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church will join the group follow-ing the lead runners from Rich Park, down Main Street, turning right on Gaither. They will take an-other right on Wilkesboro Street and run until they must take a left on Meroney St. due to the construction work at the “5-corners”. Continuing onto Hospital St., the group will take a right on Valley Road before turning right on Yadkinville Road entering the driveway to St. Francis. The running of a torch was a pre-Columbian prac-tice for carrying messages. It is said that when Juan Diego appeared before the bishop to deliver the Virgin of Guadalupe's request for a shrine on the hill at Tepeyac and spilled roses at her feet, torch runners conveyed the news of the miraculous ap-parition.The Antorcha Guada-lupana - or torch run - is a traditional Mexican reli-gious pilgrimage that dates back more than half a cen- tury to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe, that country's patron. Association Te-peyac began organizing the Mexico-New York relay run in 1999. Runners - most of them young adults - make the journey from Mexico City to their own towns. The torch run takes 72 days. It left the Basilica in Mexico City on Sept. 21, the International Day of Peace, and is set to arrive in New York City on Dec. 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Torch run set for Mocksville stop next week DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023 - 5 When you decide to swim in a local lake, kayak on a scenic river, or drink water straight from your tap, you’re relying on orga-nizations like Three Rivers Land Trust (TRLT) to pro-tect that natural resource. TRLT has conserved more 350 miles of stream frontage in the central Pied-mont and Sandhills since 1995. That is longer than the distance from Greens-boro to Atlanta.The NC Land and Wa-ter Fund (NCLWF) is a program of the Division of Land and Water Stew-ardship within the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. NCL-WF awards funding each year to nonprofits, local, and state government agen-cies across North Carolina to conserve these valuable natural resources. This year, NCLWF awarded TRLT full funding for two projects and pro-visional funding for three other projects.The first project will conserve 204 acres nin Richmond County adjacent to the Pee Dee River, pro-tecting this tract’s mature hardwood forest located on five tributaries to the Pee Dee =. “Tracts like this protect water quality by al-lowing the water to natural-ly filter pollutants through the area being conserved before entering the stream” states Crystal Cockman, as-sociate director of TRLT.• The second proj-ect is an 82-acre mature hardwood forest in Davie County with a tributary to the South Yadkin River. The South Yadkin River is a 303d listed impaired stream, so protecting the forest on this tract will help maintain and improve water quality in this water-shed, she said.“Three Rivers Land Trust is committed to pro-tecting local waters through conservation easements, just like this one,” states Executive Director Travis Morehead. “The amount awarded for these two proj- ects totals $893,415. We deeply appreciate the North Carolina General Assembly making these funds avail-able so that more of North Carolina’s natural resourc-es can be conserved.”Three other projects were provisionally funded. This includes a tract that adjoins Raven Rock State Park in Harnett Coun-ty, a tract that protects a high-quality watershed in Montgomery County, and a tract that protects Toms Branch in Richmond Coun-ty, for a total of 306 addi-tional acres and a potential total of $1,043,970 in grant monies, should funds be-come available before next June.The grant monies will go to landowners for the permanent conservation of their properties.

Prospec-tive students will have the chance to hear from current students, faculty and staff members. They’ll also hear about financial aid options and other support services available as a member of the campus community. Advanced registration is required. Visit openhouse.davidsondavie.edu. If there’s one thing to know about Davidson-Da-vie Community College’s NextGen program, it’s that it holds stock in its name – it focuses on helping students get to that next step in their lives. Funded by the Piedmont Triad Regional Workforce Board, the initiative aims to get students to earn their high school diplomas while placing them in sustain-able job training and career paths.NextGen, formerly known as GetREAL, has existed for 28 years and was created after local public schools and Davidson-Da-vie identified a need for spe-cial services for youth in the community who were drop-ping out of school. The program targets stu-dents ages 16 to 24.“Getting a high school diploma is the first step in this program,” said Sher- fers. “If they have done ev-erything they can to help a student and nothing is working, they give them in-formation about NextGen. Every day in the fall, we get phone calls from parents. We had 11 new students this week alone.”With small numbers and the availability of one-on-one attention, students not only feel welcome, but safe, Trotter says. “What we provide here is that we all have the same mindset. We are 100 percent student-centered. We don’t do this job for us. We tell them every day, you start over. If you make a mistake, tomorrow when you come back, you’re good.”Trotter says she worked with one student who com-mented: “My high school teachers didn’t like me. I was a handful; I wanted to go to the bathroom all the ‘NextGen’ targets students at risk of dropping out Davie open house Mondayri Trotter, director. “At the same time, they are working toward a sustainable career. These students are job shad-owing and talking about ca-reer paths.”While it seems like a lofty task – completing high school requirements while focusing on career paths and job training – NextGen is guiding these students to-ward becoming successful adults in the community. And they’re getting great results and feedback.“They come to us for various reasons,” Trotter says. “They can’t be consis-tent with attendance, they’re bullied, and they have anxi-ety troubles.”Trotter explains the col-lege works with school counselors in Davidson County, as well as Lexing-ton and Thomasville City Schools. Folks in the school system are well-versed in what Davidson-Davie of- time.” She says what was really happening was the student wanted to go to the bath-room and hide. “It’s different here. We don’t have 25 students in class; we have six. They can go to the bathroom. The difference is we can take the time to get to know them. … (The student) said, ‘you like me here.’”That’s what makes a dif-ference in the lives of these students; open conversation and celebrations of their success. In fact, students ac-tually have the opportunity to ring a bell when they earn a credit. “We treat this like a mini high school. When they get a credit, we make a big deal. We clap and yell for them. We post it on Facebook and Instagram. We send pictures to parents. We really cele-brate them.”There are also ser- vice-learning opportunities during the school day. These experiences help students get outside of the box, Trot-ter explains. Once students earn their high school diploma, they have the chance to move into one of many career paths offered at the college, such as welding. “We have one student who was in his junior year and enrolled in welding, and when he graduated, he wanted to take the next step. He’s now employed as a welder.“Our main goal and fo-cus is setting these students up with sustainable wage jobs, and earning their high school diploma is the first step in getting that job.”NextGen is offered in Lexington and on the Davie Campus.Visit davidsonda-vie.edu/nextgen. with Apostle D.

An Old Chickahomy breakfast includes Virginia Country Ham and Hot Biscuits. A bowl of Brunswick Stew is one of the real plantation meals served in an 18th-century dining room at the Old Chickahomi- ny House. The server(right) dressed in period clothes at King’s Arms Tavern serves Peach Brandy Punch from an old-fashioned punch bowl at your table. Sunday brunch at the Williamsburg Inn offers a selection of hearty meats with every-style egg accompanied by sides of grits, potatoes, and fried apples. Hourazz! Hourazz! That’s me reliving a few 18th-century moments while making toasts of vintage libations from a tavern bar – in historic punch bowl style. Be still my heart – I’ve never experienced such fun or consumed a better meal than that at the Kings Arms Tavern in Williamsburg – a stop on a recent trip to the Colonial cities that included Jamestown and Yorktown. I was delighted to see a punch bowl listed on the evening Bill of Fare as I’ve long anticipated a comeback of this charming practice. Along with the old-fashioned way of ladling drinks from a bowl, I was served up a big cupful of boozy punch – and an earful of political history. The fortified Peach Brandy Punch, made with orange juice, ginger ale, peach brandy, and peach nec-tar, was served at our table from small, personal punch bowls made for 2-4 people. Lending to the tavern’s air of colonial elegance were menu items inspired by vintage recipes of the time period with adaptions made to suit today’s tastes. During the Revolution, the tav-ern was known as “Mrs. Vobes” and stood as a local gathering spot where business and politics were debated. With a menu that served “victuals” pleasing to the palate - Mrs. Vobes’ tavern was reputed to be “where all the best people resorted.” From the vintage fashions worn by serv-ers to the dining table’s pewter candlesticks – everything was true to the period. Dinner began with a first course of Peanut Soupe. Seeing how Virginia is known as the “peanut” state, restaurants have gotten creative incorporating the small nut in many of their dishes. All entrees were preceded with another old-fashioned throwback – the beloved relish tray full of Vir-ginia Ham Pate, Corn Relish, and Whipped Butter to enjoy with freshly baked Sally Lunn Bread. Other dining takeaways were to be had. Don’t miss the inquisitive but well-trained, house cat and mascot named Wilson at the Old Chicahominy House – and gift shop. The atmosphere’s straight-up colonial and the food’s delicious. Offerings are Hot Biscuits filled with Virginia Country Ham and Brunswick Stew while Sweet Tea served from trays is the choice beverage. For dessert, I recommend the Apple Crumb Pie – all the yummy home-made pies are prepared by Tiffany who works there. The place is charming. The 87-mile-long Chickahominy River is located in eastern central Virginia. The river’s named after the Chick-ahominy Tribe, a Native American tribe that was settled along the river when the English colonists arrived in 1607. The name translates to “coarse-ground corn people.” The tribe’s language contributed the word “hominy” to the English language – a throwback side dish my Mama once served us for a weeknight supper.Other notables on my foodie favorite list would be Prime Rib at the Williamsburg Inn’s Sunday brunch and a slice of Rum Cream Pie for dessert. The breakfast pancakes at Tipsy Bean were to die for. Chris’ Cookies is worth a stop when you’re ready to splurge on an ice cream ala mode cookie kind of dessert. I’m reminded of an old poem from my childhood that Mama used to say and it went like this – “Wherever you wander wherever you roam, be happy and healthy and glad to come home.” It might be a good time for us to go home – that is, to a home church where we can gather together as a family of faith. While you listen for the Word of God, let your thoughts linger on what is honorable and true, just and pure, pleasing and commendable, excellent and worthy of praise. Think about these things.

Colonial favorites still good to this day DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023 ‑ B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record With the Davie JV football team’s main playmaker, Jamarius Pelote, unable to play in the final game against visiting Glenn on Oct. 26, the War Eagles needed their defense to pick up the slack. The D answered the call. The defense shut out the Bob-cats for three quarters and Davie prevailed 15-14. Even though the final margin The Davie cross country team travelled to Kernersville’s Ivey Redmon Sports Complex on Saturday for the 4-A Midwest Re-gional. With 28 schools, the region once again demonstrated that it is not only the largest of the state’s four regions but is also the most competitive. Based on a formula of the number of competing teams, the top six boys teams and top five girls teams advanced to the Nov. 4 state championship meet. In addition, the top seven individuals who were not on qualifying teams also punched their ticket to the championship race.The Davie boys turned in an eighth-place effort and had stellar individual efforts from Thomas Essic (12th place in 16:25) and Ethan Lakey (15th in 16:31) as each advanced to the state final. Lakey’s time was a personal re-cord by 11 seconds. Cuthbertson’s Thomas Wlazlowski raced to the By Brian PittsEnterprise Record If the Parkland win was the Markel Summers show, Friday’s 21-7 victory at Glenn was about Ty Miller and his amazing receivers. Glenn’s defense was geared to take away the run, and Summers, who piled up 542 rushing yards in the previous two games, never found a rhythm. No worries. The passing game saved the War Ea-gles’ butts in the final regular-sea-son game. All Miller did was throw for the sixth-most yards (396) in program history. And it must be noted that Davie (7-3 overall) also By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Ty Miller is having a season we can only compare to a handful of quarterbacks from the storybooks of yesteryear. In Friday’s 21-7 win at Glenn to close the regular season, the senior set career highs in com-pletions (33), attempts (49) and yards (396). He tied the record for comple-tions in a game; Alex Summers had 33 twice in 2021. He tied the career record for 200-yard passing games with 14. Garrett Benge had 14 such games from 2005-07 and Chris Reynolds had 14 from 2014-16. Miller isn’t the only War Eagle who is doing cool things in the record books. Markel Summers’ 1,401 rushing yards are the most in 11 years (Cade Carney had 1,908 in 2012). The senior running back is tied for third in career TDs with 43. At Glenn, he surpassed David Daye (2,923 rushing yards from 1994-96) and moved into sixth place in career rushing yards with 2,997. Summers’ streak of 100-yard rushing games ended at eight, which was one shy of the record. Cooter Arnold had nine straight 100-yard games in 2004. And then there’s receiver Ethan Driver, who burned Glenn with seven catches, 154 yards and two TDs. His sixth 100-yard effort tied a single-season record; Ben Ellis had six in 2014. Oh, and Driver is just a sophomore if you can believe that. Most importantly for Davie, Miller, Summers and Driver still have time to add to their legendary seasons in the postseason. Davie will be at home Friday in the first round against CPC rival Mt. Tabor. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. Trio leads Davie into playoffs Davie staves off Glenn; secures 2nd in CPC rode its defense to the highest win total in four seasons. This was a 13-7 game deep into the fourth quarter, and if the D hadn’t come through, Davie might have been toast. Davie wound up tied for second in the Central Piedmont Confer-ence, and that’s a big deal after it finished fourth, fifth and fifth the past three seasons. East Forsyth (6-1) captured its second title in a row. Davie and West Forsyth shared second at 5-2. Mt. Tabor and Reagan were 4-3. Glenn was 2-5, while Parkland/Reynolds were 1-6. It wasn’t the prettiest win, but coach Tim Devericks was just hap-py to get out of town with the W. “Glenn’s been in every game,” he said. “They’re physical, they’ve got great coaches and they execute. I’m super proud of our defense. All 11 guys were locked in and getting after it. The defensive backs did a good job, and our linebackers made a lot of plays. They threw a lot of quick passes, but our defen-sive linemen never gave up.”The War Eagles struggled to put Glenn away because six promising drives stalled out. They drove to the Glenn 33 before turning it over on downs. They drove 64 yards and picked up three first downs be- fore committing a turnover. They moved the ball 57 yards, but had a turnover on downs. They drove 51 yards and picked up four first downs, only to commit a second turnover. in the first half They drove 42 yards, but had a turnover on downs. They drove 37 yards and picked up three first downs before a turnover on downs. Credit Glenn for holding Sum-mers to 76 rushing yards, or 71 before his average. His longest run was 13 yards. “When we did the read option, they had two guys coming off the edge,” Miller said. “So they had one guy for Markel and another guy for me. It’s normally only one guy.”Landon Barber recovered a Glenn fumble at midfield less than two minutes into the game, but Davie couldn’t take advantage. The Bobcats kept the ball for five minutes and were knocking on the door before Davie made a defen-sive stand at the 5-yard line. The big plays: Trey’von Doulin batted down a second-and-3 pass, and Brandon Wood blew up a running play on second down from the Davie 4. After Wood disrupted the play, Archer Richardson and JV defense smothers Glenn was just one, Davie didn’t have any issues getting the job done. Glenn scored its two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, including one on the last play of the game. “Fortunately, the defense did a phenomenal job,” coach Spencer Pasciolla said. “We had a lot of opportunities, we just could not punch it in. But the defense kept them down there (on Glenn’s side of the field). That’s essentially what got us the win.”Glenn made a goal-line stand when Davie tried to score on fourth-and-goal from the 1. But moments later, Davie had a 2-0 lead thanks to a safety. “They were trying to get out of their own end zone, and our defensive line shot through and we swarmed to the ball (on a run play),” defensive coordinator Blaine Nicholson said. Running back Javon Carter and receiver Blake French - on a pass from Aiden Hall - had touchdowns as Davie pushed its lead to 15-0. That’s where things stood heading into the fourth quarter. From Da-vie’s viewpoint, the lead should have been greater. “We played on a third of the field all night,” Pasciolla said. “We were chopping up grass all night on their end of the field, and that played out to our benefit.”With quarterback/running back Pelote out sick, the offense leaned on Carter.

The reason? To hunt white-tailed deer. I had killed the first one ever taken on that 640-acre farm, a 4-point buck, on Thanksgiving afternoon in 1976, my junior year in college. Deer were a fairly new item back then; my fa-ther doesn’t remember ever seeing one from the time the family moved to the farm in 1941 until the early 1970s. There were plenty of quail and rabbits, but no deer and turkeys. My, have the times changed.About 1970, my phy-sician uncle bought the place, which the family had farmed as tenants un-til around 1960, and in the first year or two, he cut 400 acres of timber and re-planted it mostly in pines. Later, I would understand that young pine plantations were essentially cutovers, which were deer nurseries – and having tremendous habitat in which to thrive, the deer population explod-ed there in the 1980s. My dad started hunting the place in the late 1980s with some of his friends, and they quickly decided to try and manage it for big-ger bucks, so they put an 8-point minimum in place. Nobody killed any bucks smaller than 8-pointers un-less there’s some kind of cull buck that needs to be removed from the herd.By the time we had to quit hunting around 2010 – reasons are unimportant – we had at least four-dozen 8-point racks tacked to the walls of the “trophy room,” with a fox squirrel being stalked by a bobcat, both mounted on a limb from a pecan tree just outside the house.I figured I understood deer by that time, and I’m almost never surprised by some of the things they do, from walking through my back yard within the city limits to bouncing across the road just in front of my vehicle in broad daylight.Until this past Saturday morning, that is.We were in Georgia for a “celebration of life” for my uncle, who died a cou-ple of weeks ago just short of 90. We were staying in the old farmhouse, my son, brother and I. My son was sleeping in the front bed-room, and it was closing in on 8 a.m. when he rushed into my room and awak-ened me. I was already sort of stirring. He rushed me into his room, pointed out the window and asked me if I could believe my eyes.It took these old eyes a little while to focus, to figure out which tree he was pointing at and where I was supposed to be look-ing, but eventually I saw him, a big 8-point buck – it would have been one of the two or three biggest we’d ever killed there – strolling through the side yard.“I woke up and looked out the window, and there he was, walking right past the air-conditioning unit,” my son said, pointing to the metal box about 15 feet from the house.We watched him, noting how black his hocks were and how thick his neck had become, as he picked one doe out of a quartet about 50 yards in front of him, cut her away from the herd and followed her into a grove of pines, across a logging road and into what we used to call the “little pasture.”I would have given any-thing to have seen a buck that big from any of the 20+ stands on the proper-ty when we were actively hunting it – much less one walking through the side yard, almost in the shadow of the house.It goes to show that when November approach-es and arrives, deer don’t act right – they are liable to do just about anything when their reproductive juices start flowing.And the intelligent folks at the N.C. Wildlife Re-sources Commission have taken that into consider- ation when setting deer seasons across the state. They put the greatest num-ber of hunters in the woods at a time when they have the best chance of catching an old buck with its guard down – the way this one was acting.Blackpowder season is open in the Piedmont for a another week, followed by gun season through New Year’s Day. Blackpowder will follow in the north-western corner of the state beginning Nov. 4 for two weeks, followed by gun season.According to a map on the commission’s website (www.ncwildlife.org), the estimated peak of the deer breeding season varies, generally beginning around Nov. 1 along the coast and moving from east-to-west across the state, getting a few days later every hun-dred miles or so you travel. Biologists have determined the dates by sampling deer over the years, looking at the fetuses of does that are sampled in the spring, measuring and back-dating them by size to determine an approximate date of conception.In the southern Pied-mont, the peak ranges from Nov. 12 in Moore County to Nov. 14 in Montgom-ery, Nov. 15 in Richmond, Nov. 16 in Stanly, Nov. 18 in Union and Nov. 19 in Mecklenburg. In the northwestern cor-ner of the state, it ranges from Nov. 14 in Stokes to Nov. 18 in Ashe, Nov. 19 in Watauga and Forsyth, Nov. 20 in Iredell, Nov. 21 in Davie, all the way to Nov. 30 in Wilkes.Deer are most active in the week or two before the peak of the breeding sea-son, aka, the rut, so crank-ing things up around Nov. 1 is a perfect strategy for giving hunters their best chances at filling one or all of their six annual deer tags.I will be sighting in my muzzleloader and my ri-fle in the next few days so I’ll be ready when the time comes – and not just if a big one wanders through the back yard, eating the last, straggling green beans in my garden. Davie American Little League Player Spotlights Maddox Seaford of the ma- chine pitch Marlins has been working hard on his swing. It paid off in the biggest at- bat of the season, win a tie game with two outs in the last inning with runners on second and third. Maddox on the first pitch ripped the ball down the third-base line for a double that led his team to the win. Couldn’t happen to a better kid. Presley Collier of the T-ball Angels is a go-getter who leaves her all on the field. She is always up for a challenge and learning new things. Her eagerness to get out there and play is always appreciated. Angel Cerda of the intermediate Braves was made to play baseball and has a skill set that is hard to compete with. He took to the mound and delivered in his last game - and he also delivered at the plate. He is fascinating to watch and we will see him on the big screen one day. Caleb Ognosky of the minor division made his pitching debut and did great. He was determined and showed that hard work can pay off.

The Davie defense set up the game’s first score. Connor Hood’s hit on the running back jarred the ball loose and Wood recovered the fumble at the Glenn 21. Two plays later, Miller con-nected with Ethan Driver for a touchdown. Max McCall’s extra point gave Davie a 7-0 lead in the second quarter. “We’ve asked (Hood) to do a lot,” Devericks said of the safety. “He has to fit in the box on certain things, he has to cover on certain things, play man to man and play two deep. That’s a lot for a young man to do.”Later in the second quar-ter, Glenn penetrated the red zone. But on fourth-and-5 from the 15, safety Eli Bra-nham foiled a screen pass for no gain. Davie looked primed to go up two scores, but those plans were wrecked by Glenn linebacker Isaiah Bufford, who intercepted Miller and returned it 44 yards to the Davie 22. Then Glenn wrong-footed the Davie defense with a trick play. A Bobcat went right on a jet sweep, then handed the ball to J’zier Dixon on a reverse. He glided 20 yards to paydirt as Glenn tied things at 7 with 1:59 left in the half. “It was a phenomenal play call,” Devericks said. “We were in man coverage and they ran away. They had a lot of space with a block around the corner.”Grey Deal was unable to play, so Miller was without his No. 2 receiver. It hardly mattered because he has a plethora of gifted receivers. Braddock Coleman helped immensely in the first half, when he reeled in six of his nine career-high catches. In Continued From Page B1 for 99 yards and three scores against Parkland, the fresh-man carried 24 times for 92 yards. Six of Hall’s 13 completions went to French, who turned in 65 receiving yards. Ian Patton and Cam-eron Knox had three and two receptions, respectively. Smothers ... Mack Ridenhour and Carter had one each as Davie (5-5, 3-4 Central Piedmont Con-ference) closed the season with back-to-back wins. Glenn (2-7, 0-6), on the oth-er hand, suffered its seventh consecutive loss. As we look ahead to 2024, Nicholson cited five defenders who have high ceilings: sophomore corner-back CJ Moore, sophomore outside linebacker Connor Dixson, freshman outside linebacker Jsiere Arnold, freshman d-tackle Bray-lon Arnold and sophomore outside linebacker Dylan Miller. “CJ is going to be a big one for sure (next year),” Nicholson said. “He had a pick-6 (against Glenn) that unfortunately got taken off the board because of flags. He’s a playmaker. He’s already gotten in varsity against West Rowan and Parkland and got a PBU (pass breakup) in both of those games. We feel com-fortable putting him in now. “You’re going to see (Dixson) making a bunch of plays next year (on var-sity) because there’s two people at his position that are graduating this year. He had an injury early in the season. He came back and was pretty productive for us. “Jsiere is going to be a dude for us. I don’t think (Glenn) blocked (Jsiere’s cousin, Braylon Arnold) once. Braylon had to have something like 15 tackles. He was going crazy. He’s going to be a dude. “Dylan’s been back and forth between JV and varsity a couple of times. He’s go-ing to be potentially a starter on varsity next year.” 2nd... the second half, Driver took center stage. Miller went deep and Driver, who had six of his seven grabs after halftime, hauled in a 39-yard TD. Davie botched the PAT, leaving the score 13-7. “We’ve had guys step up all year,” Devericks said. “Ethan was sick all week, but he gutted it out. Evan (York) did a good job block-ing for Leon (Bradshaw, who had a career-high eight receptions) on screens.”“I’ve got so many op-tions, so many great re-ceivers, who put the work in,” Miller said. “(Cole-man’s) just really reliable. I know he’s going to make the catch. (Driver) did not get to practice all week because he was sick, but he made a difference like he always does.”Because the Bobcats pos-sess speedy athletes, they had a serious puncher’s chance if you let them hang around. Sure enough, Dixon broke into the clear on a pass play from the Glenn 13. He sprinted 82 yards to the Davie 5, but fortunately for Davie, a penalty brought it back. That might have dazed Davie with less than six minutes remaining. But the flag was deflating for Glenn and Zander Rich-ardson made back-to-back tackles to force a punt. “Zander made two open-field tackles,” Devericks said. “One was a swing to the running back, and people don’t realize that’s a super tough tackle. Another time he rose to the occasion when it bounced outside.”On second-and-17 with four minutes remaining, Miller went to Driver, and there was no defender in his zip code. Driver caught the ball 19 yards downfield and blazed another 42 yards to the Glenn 3, a 61-yard play that broke Glenn’s back. “It was a slant route,” Devericks said. “They were in zero man and Ethan beat his man to the middle of the field. It was a great catch and he kept his balance.”“They were biting really hard on the run, and I just threw it right behind the linebacker,” Miller said. A penalty backed Davie up and it faced third-and-goal from the 13. Miller eluded pressure by spinning left and he found Kez Stock-ton at the 2. Stockton juked and scored to nailed it down with 2:02 on the clock. “Kez made an out-of-nowhere catch,” Devericks said. “That was not where the play was designed to go, but we’ve got an athlete back there (at QB). Like in the old days of Chris Reyn-olds, when you spook him, bad things happen (for the opposing defense) and Ty made a play.”Stockton’s emergence in the last four games is quite remarkable. He played football for the Mocksville Rams and for South Davie as a seventh grader, but he did not play the past four years. Last spring he decid-ed to make a comeback as a senior. “Coach Devericks asked me after a track meet,” Stockton said. In the first six games, Stockton barely saw the field and had zero catches. But - you’re going to love this - he kept grinding and now he’s made a name for himself. He had two catch-es in his breakout at Tabor, one against West Forsyth, two against Parkland and five at Glenn, including his first TD. “I really didn’t know what to think of him when he came in the spring,” Miller said. “He’s athletic, but he was struggling with the routes and struggling with catching the ball. The improvement he’s made throughout the season is insane.”“He came out in the spring and said: ‘I think I can do this,’” Devericks said. “We saw he had great athleticism. It was just about learning and him building confidence in himself. Once we put the pads on, he had to adjust to that. I’m super excited for him because he’s a great kid. The kids were so jacked up for Kez because he’s a guy who has battled his tail off every day in prac-tice. He kept working (when he didn’t get on the field).”“I decided to play foot-ball because it’s my last year and I was like: ‘Why not give it a try?’” Stockton said. “I never thought I was going to get this chance, but I’m happy that I have.”Miller delivered three-plus TD passes for the 10th time in two years, but the defense deserves credit for this one as well. Branham had 10 tackles and two pass breakups. Elijah Chaffin had nine tackles. Matty Warner had seven tackles and two quarterback hurries. Wood recorded three hurries.“Elijah made a huge play on a screen pass that they had set up,” Devericks said. “They had two blockers for Elijah and he beat both blockers and made a tackle behind the line. “Our defensive ends don’t get a lot of stats, but they do a lot up front to make it get to the lineback-ers.”On a fourth-quarter play, Doulin grabbed the running back’s jersey as he was getting blocked. He held on until Alexander and A. Rich-ardson could get there to drop the back for minus-4. “He’s blessed athleti-cally with some long arms, and he put it to use there,” Devericks said of Doulin. “He has worked really hard. Trey’von and Markel are re-ally tight and they challenge each other all the time.”Davie’s offensive line faced adversity. Jakob Alex-ander started at right tackle but got injured and never returned. Left tackle Evan Froelich had to leave the game with a sprained an-kle. Barber and Nathaniel Jordan, who are d-linemen, came through in a pinch. “Jakob went out early,” Devericks said. “Hopefully he’s OK. He had to go to the hospital to get his shoulder checked out. We were down to bare bones and then we had (Froelich’s) rolled an-kle. Landon and Nathaniel stepped in. Nathaniel went to left guard to start with and (Evan) Copeland moved (from left guard) to left tackle. Froelich came back and tried to gut it out in the second half, but it’s really hard with a sprained ankle. We felt better with Copeland at guard and we moved Landon to left tackle.”Notes: Glenn (3-7) closed with a three-game losing streak. ... This marked the lowest-scoring game in 81 games, dat-ing to a 20-3 win at West Forsyth in 2016. ... Davie had its fewest points in 15 games. ... Davie snapped a 12-game losing streak when scoring 21 or fewer points. This was the first such win since 21-14 over North Davidson in 2018. ... Now it’s playoff time and now the War Eagles get a chance at revenge against Mt. Tabor, which ruined their chance for a share of first place by edging Davie 35-34 in Winston-Salem on Oct. 6. Davie will host the Spartans Friday night at 7. Davie is seeded 14th, Tabor 19th. The winner gets either No. 3 Mooresville or No. 30 Kannapolis in the second round.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023 - B5 Continued From Page B1 in 27:01) and Bridget Wood (129th in 28:04). Marks’ time was a huge personal best and was the first time she had gone under 24:00.Tabor cruised to victory with 42 points to defeat defending state champion Cuthbertson (66), Marvin Ridge (77), Weddington (127) and West Forsyth (171). Due to several teams not showing up for the race, including two teams from the CPC, Reagan’s sixth place finish (205) was not good enough to advance.Tabor’s Bronwyn Parks (17:49) and Joiner Evans By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s three tennis play-ers bowed out in the second round in the Midwest Re-gional at Edgemoor Park in Mooresville on Oct. 20, but there was a lot to be proud of. “14-2 with regional qual-ifiers in a ‘down’ year, I think that says some pretty good stuff about our pro-gram,” Ferebee said. In singles, junior Elliot Newsome thumped her first-round opponent 6-2, 6-2. “The girl did not have a conventional game,” Ferebee said. “Once Elliot figured that out, she won (easily).”In the first round in dou-bles, sophomore Bailey Aderhold and freshman Corbin Drum lost the first set 7-5. They could have wilted right there. Instead, they took the next two sets 6-3, 6-3 to advance. “Corbin and Bailey had Davie golfers Kate Sakai and Sophia Garza competed in the 4-A Central Regional at Longleaf Golf Club in Southern Pines and had no reason to hang their heads when it was over. The event was held Oct. 23. “I was very proud of how they both dug deep and finished their last 3-4 holes playing some of their best golf of the day,” coach Bob Donley said. Sakai, a junior who earned all-conference hon-ors, shot a 25-over 97 to finish 50th out of 70 players. She recorded three pars and 3 War Eagle tennis players battle at regionals never been to regionals and they lost their first set,” Fer-ebee said. “I said: ‘We’ve got to come back like we did in the conference tourna-ment, and they rolled (from there). I was really proud of them for being a freshman and sophomore and their first time in the regional. They buckled down and did not get scared of the moment.”While Newsome and Aderhold/Drum could not get past the quarterfinals, they played their hearts out in defeat. Newsome lost 6-0, 6-1 to the No. 1 seed. Aderhold/Drum lost 6-0, 6-0 to the No. 2 seed from Lake Norman. “(Newsome) did not win, but there were parents from other schools that walked up to me and said: ‘Is that your No. 1? She is really, really good,’” Ferebee said. “It was parents from schools that we don’t even compete against. That tells you how well Elliot was playing.” Davie’s doubles team offered more resistance than the scores suggest. It was no small feat for a freshman and sophomore to advance to this stage, especially when you consider they had only played four matches together before traveling to Mooresville. “That team (from Lake Norman) made the finals,” Ferebee said. “The score did not look good, but four or five games went to deuce. If they get a point here or a point there, it would’ve been something like 3-6, 3-6. For a freshman and sophomore to be playing their sixth match together, I’m really happy with how they played and how they fought and did not quit. It sounds like they got blown out in 20 minutes, but it was about an hour-long match. They were in points; they were not getting winners smacked on them. They were not getting aces smacked against them. They were playing hard, but those girls are a junior and a senior who have played together for a while.”It was another one-for-the-books season for Fere- bee’s War Eagles. Newsome went 17-5 in singles and 26-5 in singles/doubles. Aderhold/Drum won five of six doubles matches as part- ners. Aderhold went 13-1 in all her doubles and 26-4 in singles/doubles. Drum went 13-2 in all her doubles and 27-4 in singles/doubles. Wilson No. 1 in conference in solo blocks Gracie Wilson, a freshman volleyball player at South-ern Wesleyan, is leading the Carolinas Conference in solo blocks with 22 in conference play. She’s second overall in the conference for blocks per set behind a senior from Lees-McRae. More close losses for JV While Davie’s varsity soccer team was mostly helpless during a one-win season, the JV was competitive just about every time out. The problem is it was absolutely snakebit. After a 2-0 loss at Parkland, the young War Eagles fell short 2-1 at home against Glenn. It was the sixth one-goal loss of the season. Hector Rodriguez had the goal as the JV finished 5-12-1 overall and 1-11-1 in the Central Piedmont Conference. The goal leaders for the season were Andy Longares (12), Rodriguez (six) and Isaiah Beaty (five). Season ends for varsity soccer In the final games of the season, Davie varsity soccer lost 6-1 at Parkland and 5-2 at home to Glenn. Zach Hill scored against Parkland, and Emmanuel Alanis and Alex Tarbet scored against Glenn. Mason Kuhnemann had an assist. Davie (1-20) finished last in the CPC. The standings: West forsyth 14-0, Reynolds 9-4-1, East Forsyth/Parkland 9-5, Mt. Tabor 7-6-1, Glenn 4-10, Reagan 3-11, Davie 0-14. Santiago Maganda led Davie with three goals. Gage Whita-ker, Hamza Heikal, Justin Rayas and Tarbet had two each. six bogeys to place eighth among Central Piedmont Conference players. Garza, a senior, shot 103 to tie for 58th. She had one par and eight bogeys. “(It was a good day) given that we do not play on crowned greens,” Donley said. “As fast as they are at Longleaf, both Kate and So-phia hit the ball really well from tee from green. The majority of their lost strokes come on the very fast greens with almost every pin on a crown.”Players needed to shoot 86 or better to advance to the state. Golfers Sakai, Garza compete in regionals (17:59) took top honors over Cuthbertson’s Charlotte Bell (18:00) and Reynolds’ Chandler Welsh (18:02). Welsh and Reagan’s Kate Henderson (18:43) will rep-resent the CPC as individu-als at the state meet.“Given all of the adversi-ty we have experienced this fall, I think we ran about as well as we could,” said coach Rob Raisbeck. “Cross country is a sport where se-niors dominate and we had no seniors among our 13 competitors today. Thomas and Ethan are having great seasons and I think they will represent Davie very well at states. Brayden finished his season on a high note with a new PR as he has improved by well over a minute from his freshman year last year. Aric was only 10 seconds off of his PR, but he has improved by almost two full minutes from last year.“Tyler gave us every-thing he had Saturday. He was really sick leading up to the meet and couldn’t train for two weeks. It was miraculous that he was able to race. Tyler is kind of our X factor.

We need to get Lexi healthy and Clara and Emilia showed great improvement late in the year. Isabella also battled injuries but is healthy now. “I also want to give a shout-out to our freshmen, Kinsly and Bridget. They did not join us until Septem-ber and had no background in cross country. They did some good things for us, and with a full year of training I expect them to make big contributions next season and beyond.“We have a really bright future. This year our top five boys had an average time of 17:05, which is our best in our eight years as a coaching staff. Our previous best was 17:14 from last year. “It may be the best Davie has ever had and is a full 90-second-per-runner faster than our first year. With no seniors in our top eight, we will shatter that next year if the guys continue to train hard, train smart and stay focused,” Raisbeck said. “For our girls, we need to get healthy and keep them motivated. That is our job as coaches. And honestly, we need more numbers” he said. “What we do is hard and it’s not for everybody. But the rewards are great.

B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Somebody could write a horror movie about facing the Reagan volleyball team. When the top-seeded Raiders bounced Davie in the second round of the 4-A playoffs on Oct. 24, they moved to 35-0 and picked up their 26th 3-0 sweep in 28 tries. At this point, they had captured 84 of 86 sets. Their dominance just continued when they beat 17th-seeded Davie for the third time this season (25-14, 25-9, 25-16). “I thought Reagan’s team (that went 28-2 in 2017) several years back with Nya Steele, Bailey Hatchett and Hunter (Beem) was the best,” coach Amber Brandon said. “I think last year’s Reagan team (36-1) was stronger than this year’s team. Volleyball in our area is just a little down.”The War Eagles, who went 16-8 after finishing in a three-way tie for second in the CPC and beating South Iredell in the first round, said goodbye to five seniors: Lauren O’Connor, Mikay-lah Hutton, Malia Privett, Caroline Lakey and Hailey Johnson. “I feel really good about the season,” Brandon said. “We graduated seven se-niors in 2022. Two of those had been on varsity all four years with another two on varsity for three. Then we graduated five seniors last year. Two of those had been on varsity all four years with another on varsity for three. In two years, we graduated all of our offense and all of our leadership. I think a lot of people counted us out, but this senior class stepped up to the challenge. They worked harder this offseason than any class, they put the time in during club and in our own gym, they worked on their team bond and their leadership. And I think had Malia not gotten hurt so early, it’s second place outright and not a share. I think this group as a whole has battled more throughout their four years at Davie than any other class. They started with COVID, they battled injuries all four years and they’ve stuck it out.”Reagan is the only CPC team still alive. Reynolds lost 3-0 to Northern Guil-ford in the first round.

Big “but” here: The Tigers haven’t been able to put all the pieces together, and as a result they entered the week 1-3. With guys missing every match, South has had little margin for error. The Tigers opened the season with a 60-48 loss to Erwin. “We had three forfeits,” Hilton said. “We didn’t have our full lineup.”The South winners against Erwin were Colten Beck, Rico Evans, Elijah Tatum, KJ McClelland, Dreighton Lunnerman, Xan-der Proctor, Caleb Edwards, Jason Voss and Brandon Paster. CG 55, SD 54In the second match of the season on Oct. 19, South and host China Grove were tied at 54 at the end, but the Red Devils left victorious as they prevailed on criteria. “We were missing a cou-ple,” Hilton said. “If we’d had everybody, we would have won that one for sure.”SD 84, NR 12Four days later at home, the Tigers unloaded on North Rowan. Pounding out seven pins were Tatum, Jack Nail, Zion Lyons, Ivan Bustamante, Proctor, Ed-wards and Paster. “I’ve got some eighth graders who are pretty tough,” Hilton said. “(Proc-tor, Bustamante, Edwards, Lyons, Nail and Paster) are in their third year. They’re all pretty tough. Those are my guys that I can count on for sure this year.”SE 51, SD 47Three days later at South-east, the Tigers suffered their By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Ellis girls basketball team has swallowed its first two opponents whole and spit them out. After winning the opener by 45 points, Ellis followed up with a 56-4 destruction of visiting Corriher-Lipe on Oct. 26. What a start for the Jag-uars, who carved out a 44-4 halftime lead. At that point, Gracie Shore, Olivia Smith and Gracyn Coleman had a combined 38 points. They would not play much in the second half as coach Susan Jones put it in cruise control. “We came out aggressive defensively, pressing and trapping at every opportuni-ty,” Jones said. “This intense pressure defense paid off. An early intentional foul on Gracie’s breakaway layup seemed to fire up the girls the rest of the game.”Shore piled up 18 points, 10 steals and four assists. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The first three opponents for South Davie’s boys bas-ketball team haven’t even come up for air. The Tigers have trounced them by 40, 53 and 35 points, including a 63-28 decision at North Rowan on Oct. 23. Draeton Nance poured in a career-high 30 points, four over his previous high.

Noah had about 12 assists. William played well again.”But Mayfield was as ex-cited about Aiden Houser’s seven-point performance as anything. Paxton Lewis had two and Malachi Miller one. “Aiden had a coming-out party,” he said. “He played awesome. He was really good on offense and was able to finish around the basket.”ND 60, Erwin 48It was 29-29 at halftime, but visiting North Davie proved too good for Erwin on Oct. 23. A 17-9 run in the third quarter was the difference as the Wildcats improved to 2-0. “We had a good third with some defensive pres-sure and easy baskets in transition,” coach Trevor Gooch said. With Carter Cornett (16), Wyatt Harwood (15), Edar-ius Oliver (12) and Nolan Allen (12) sharing the offen-sive spotlight, the Wildcats produced four double-figure scorers in the same game for the first time in 154 games, or 11 years. “Wyatt had a good game of finding players on back-door cuts, especially Car-ter,” Gooch said. “Edarius had another good game of defensive pressure.” North got three points from Glen Greene and two from Reynolds Tomlinson. “Glen and Blaze Sanders came in and got some key rebounds,” he said. “Reyn-olds had a good game with some nice assists and he took some charges under the basket.”The last time North had four players with 10-plus points was during a 53-51 win over South Davie in 2011-12. On that day, Ryan Harrell (18), Dylan Shoffner (12), Jordan McDaniel (11) and Nathan Harrell (10) led the way. Ellis 44, C-L 34Ellis rolled to 2-0 with a home win over Corri-her-Lipe on Oct. 26. The scorers were Bran-don Forrest (15), Cannon Smith (12), Zaheim Re-ese (10), Graham Weaver (three), Mason Driver (two), Brady Hall (one) and Bow-man Blakley (one). Westen Barefoot contributed a team-high nine rebounds. What a start: Lady Jags win by 52 Coleman put together 15 points, five steals and three assists. Smith collected 10 points, six assists, five steals and three rebounds. “Olivia is such a versatile player,” Jones said. “She plays small forward but can play point guard and also center when needed.”The other Ellis scorers were Zoe Summers (six), Layla Hazlip (four) and Sydney Ward (three). “They are playing hard on every possession and getting on the floor for loose balls while playing team basketball and looking for their teammates,” Jones said. NR 29, SD 23After soaring to a 2-0 start, South Davie laid an egg at North Rowan on Oct. 23. The Mavericks took control in the third quarter and held on. “We played really scared and played to their level,” coach Julie Snow said. “We are so young and have a lot of potential. But Sarenity Miller was the only one who didn’t play scared. She had at least five blocks.”The South points came from Allie Cothren (eight), Miller (seven), Akiela Young (four), Zariah Allison (two), Scarlett Brock (one) and Natalye Keeton (one). SD 26, SE 11It was heartening to see how South responded from the loss. Three days later at home, it pulled away in the third quarter. Despite being far from a finished prod-uct, the Tigers (3-1) have already matched last year’s win total. “Our girls really showed they are coachable,” Snow said. “They took the lessons from our loss and executed the week’s worth of work.”Cothren (12) outscored the Patriots by herself. Sa-kariah Allison was next with seven. Miller had five and Z. Allison two. “Watching these girls develop is so much fun, and I’m excited to see how far we have come when December rolls around,” Snow said. Snow spoke glowingly of the Allison twins, who are seventh-grade guards. “The Allison twins shined,” she said. “Those girls can play defense. Sa-kariah is vocal. Zariah has never played before, but she is the mother to everyone. She came out of the game talking about how Southeast was trying to hurt her game. She said: ‘I’m not going to let those girls get to me. We are going to bring our game to them. No one is getting the best of me.’”Erwin 44, ND 31Although visiting North Davie couldn’t recover from a 13-0 hole in the first quar-ter on Oct. 23, Jaynie Patton was a bright spot. Last year as a sixth grad-er, she totaled 13 points in 14 games. She matched that output in the first game. (North is 1-1, but the win was a forfeit from North Rowan.)“Jaynie is my No. 1 play- er this year,” first-year coach Austin King said. “She will run the offense and has my trust to do so. Still a lot of stuff to work on, but she has the potential.” Calloway Spillman (six), Audrina Bledsoe (six), Zari-ya Oliver (four), Mabyn Morris (one) and Zoe Shore (one) had the other North points.

South jumped to a 17-0 lead before watching the Patriots rip off 36 straight points. The defi-cit was 45-23 when South got hot again. It scored 24 of the final 30 points, but it was too late. “I was still missing three or four starters,” Hilton said. “We could be 4-0 if things went our way a little bit.”Bustamante (138), Ed-wards (160), Voss (170) and Paster (195) had pins, and Evans (90) won by techni-cal fall. “Bustamante is a third-year eighth grader,” Hilton said. “He’s going to be a tough one at 138. “Rico is a sixth grader and he’s 4-0 on varsity. He’s a little athlete. Rico and his brother KJ (a sixth grader at 106) are all in. KJ is 3-1. They are very athletic. Both of them are really good at football. “Caleb is a beast. He’s one you can always count on (as an eighth grader). I usually wrestle him up a weight class. If I weigh two in at 152, I give Caleb the tougher guy at 152 or 160 so we can try to win two weight classes. And he delivers. “Jason (a sixth grader at 170) is a stocky dude. By the time he’s an eighth grader, he’s going to be a monster - once he starts growing into his body. He only weighed 154 (against Southeast). “Paster is 4-0 (as an eighth grader). He’s a 182-pounder but (South-east) didn’t have a 182, so I chose to double forfeit and bumped Brandon up to 195 to try to steal six away from them. He’s old school; his favorite move is the head lever. So he would make coach (Buddy) Low-ery happy.”CG 67, Ellis 48 After losing its first match by three, Ellis had another hard-fought loss against visiting China Grove on Oct. 23. Providing eight pins were Grayson Daugherty, Daniel Hennessey, Carter Hoots, Allen Moxley, Finn Sink, Garrett Whitaker, Henry Butler and Brodie Newman. Ellis 96, C-L 12Three days later on the road, the Jaguars broke through for their first win in three tries by torching Corriher-Lipe. Butler, Jaleel Collins, Daugherty, Ayden Davis, Jaxon Gay, Hennessey, Hoots, Parker Johnson, Moxley, Hazen Shrewsbury, Sink, Jackson Strader and Whitaker enjoyed pins. Erwin 64, ND 40Erwin improved to 3-0 against Davie County when it traveled to North and dropped the Wildcats to 1-1. “They are solid with a full lineup,” coach Jamey Holt said. “They look to be experienced and eighth-grade heavy.”North got pins from Chris Gonzalez (76), Connor Gan-non (106), Isaac O’Toole (152), Jaden Dillard (160), Peyton Jordan (170) and DJ McCaskill (heavyweight) and a major decision from Dominic Ishuin (83). But the Wildcats needed to flip a few more weight classes. “I thought 3-4 matches could have gone either way, but we gave up too many pins,” Holt said.

The blast of the sawed-off shotgun, aimed at Charla’s mother through the glass, spewed pellets across the living room. Ann flew backward, falling at the feet of her two children.Nobody had to tell Charla or her brother that Ann was dead. “There was no way she could’ve survived it,” Char-la said. “No way. In fact, I think it’s pretty remarkable that neither my brother or I were hit by any of it.”Charla thought it was a burglar. It wasn’t. Her father, Charles Butler Poe, wearing the red Mem-bers Only racer jacket her mother had bought for him, stepped through the sliding glass door. The moment Charla re-alized it was her own father — the man she’s named after — who killed her mother is what haunts her the most to this day. As she screamed at him, “Why did you do this?” Charles began to stalk the house, searching for Ann’s boyfriend, who he thought was in the house. This moment hasn’t de-fined her. What she’s done despite it has.Nearly 40 years after Sept. 23, 1983, Charla re-lives this scene every day. It’s the reason she’s a divorce lawyer. It’s the rocket fuel that’s propelled her to start her own female-led family law office. She’s found pur-pose in helping families nav-igate divorce with patience and ease.Because she doesn’t want any child to go through what she did.“What I have done with my life is a function of what happened to me,” Charla said, “but I am at my core not what happened.”Charla was 11 when her mother filed for divorce - an extension of the torturous and abusive reality of living in the same household as her father. “She (Ann) ended up walking away with no finan-cial support and said, ‘All I want is the kids,’” Charla said. “‘We already didn’t have a lot of money, and then when that happened, we really didn’t have any mon-ey.”Just over a year later, Ann was dead.For the first few days after the murder, the local news reported that Charles had committed suicide. However, that night, and the reported sightings of her father around Johnson City that followed, began a long period in which Charla re-members constantly being on edge.The two Poe children moved in with their moth-er’s sister, Mary Wagner, in Winston-Salem. Wagner, despite having no previous parenting experience, agreed to become a single mother.Wagner insisted on get-ting the kids back into a rou-tine. Two weeks after their father killed their mother, the Poes were enrolled in classes again.Charla still holds on to the string of letters her father sent her — addressed enve-lopes with blank, white pag-es inside.She doesn’t know why she keeps them. The best she can explain, they’re a part of her — giving her hope for an eventual apology or explana-tion.Six weeks after the mur-der, after Charles had trav-eled thousands of miles, he wandered into the Wythe County Sheriff’s Depart-ment in southwest Virginia. He handed the deputy on duty a note written on the back of a menthol Vantage cigarette package:My name is Charles Poe. I am wanted by the Washing-ton County Sheriff’s Depart-ment, Tenn., in connection with the shooting death of my wife… Thank you.”Soon thereafter, Charla, her brother and her three aunts traveled back to John-son City to meet with the solicitor.In the solicitor’s office, Charla’s aunts turned to Charla and her brother. The decision — did they want the death penalty? — was up to the children. “Both my brother and I, we looked at each other and we said, ‘No, we’re not seeking the death penalty but we want him to spend the rest of his life in prison. Every day for the rest of his life. Life without parole,’” Charla said. “That was the first and only time that the solicitor ever communicated with us and our family.”The pain was sharpened when Charles entered a plea bargain, reducing his charge from first-degree murder to second-degree murder. He got 35 years. Charla said the reduced charge was bizarre. The fam-ily wasn’t consulted. Charla’s family also wasn’t informed when, just a few years removed from his trial, Charles was being considered for parole. They found out when they read about it in the newspaper.“At an early age, I was the subject of a contentious divorce and then a legal sys-tem that I did not think fa-vored victims,” Charla said. “Now, we’ve learned a lot, and we’ve got a lot of victim advocacy programs and vic-tim support, but back then, the solicitor didn’t have to get a victim’s rubber stamp of approval on anything.”Charla recalls her broth-er’s plea to the board at her father’s first parole meeting and his eloquent words: “I want you to think about what is in a man’s heart to do this to the mother of his kids.”“There wasn’t a dry eye in the room,” Charla said.That first hearing was the hardest. This pattern would repeat every handful of years, forcing Charla and her brother to continue to testify against their father’s parole. Eventually, it became routine.Charla recalls her father never addressed her or her brother, directing his lifeless eyes and careless words — “I’m a model prisoner,” “I have PTSD from Vietnam,” — to the board.She also, more than any-thing, remembers it was a di-vorce lawyer who represent-ed her father at each hearing. It was a divorce lawyer who pushed back against her and her brother’s claims.Angela Williams met Charla in the ninth grade. The two became fast friends.A few months into their friendship, Charla opened up about her past.“I just remember being completely shocked because she seemed so stable and, on the outside, so happy,” Wil-liams said. “I had no idea that she had anything like that going on in her past.”Charla appeared to be a typical, happy-go-lucky teenager. She didn’t sulk at all or seem depressed. But behind the mask, Charla felt empty and iso-lated.The imminent sense of danger hung onto her. The memory of the blown-off right side of her mother’s face, stained in her mind like the ripped-up, bloody floor that she passed to collect her belongings.Charla tried to push off any thoughts of the murder. She blamed herself — think-ing back to the call she re-fused from her father earlier on that September day. Charles called home around dinner time, just hours before the murder. He sounded distressed as he spoke to Ann, and when he asked to talk to his daughter, Charla shook her head. For many years after the fact, Charla wondered — if she had answered his call, would that have made a difference? She read to escape. She poured herself into her stud-ies. It was hard to trust any-one.As Charla navigated the beginning of high school, she was still trying to pro-cess what happened with no formal therapy. She leaned on friends like Williams. “She was so accepting and caring and loving about it,” Charla said. “It was such a relief to be able to finally talk to someone about it.”In her second semester at UNC-Chapel Hill, Charla had to take a step back.After earning stellar grades in her first term, she became disinterested. Her mind was bogged down with thoughts she had pushed off to the far corners. She drowned the noise with par-tying and alcohol. Then, she had a realiza-tion.If she was paying her way through college, she wasn’t going to settle for mediocre marks. She withdrew from UNC, packed her belong-ings, and moved to Myrtle Beach, S.C., where she spent the next several months waiting tables. Still, something was missing.Charla had to get closure. She had to see her father. Wagner, her aunt, agreed to take her.The two made the drive to Tennessee and, as they pulled into the gravel park-ing lot of Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary, were shocked to find Charla’s father approaching them — walking directly to their car with no security guard in sight.“I expected it to be your typical, you’re in front of a glass wall and we’d be talking through a micro-phone,” Charla said. “But he was literally walking through the gates to the car.”A wave of anxiety rushed over Charla.Her father had been trans-ferred to a minimum-securi-ty prison. He volunteered frequently, completing lawn service and cleaning at a local church through work release. And, as more evi-dence of Brushy Mountain’s leniency, Charles had gotten approval to take Charla to a local park to talk. Wagner was terrified, but reluctantly accepted the agreement, and watched from a distance as Charla and her father sat in a pristine environment under a giant, leafy tree.“He mumbled a lot, but the gist of what he was say-ing was that my mother was a bad person, that she had cheated on him — basical-ly what he was implying was she deserved it,” Charla said. “I thought, this man is crazy.”She realized she would never get an answer. She’d never get an apology. All she received from that half-hour conversation was a make- shift jewelry box constructed out of cigarette wrappers - a half-ass gift and a yearning to be far, far away from her father.Charla returned to UNC with a newfound confidence. She finished her undergrad-uate career with the help of regular therapy, a support system of friends and family.After 25 years in prison, Charla’s father was released. He died in November 2020. Charla’s last point of con-tact came a year before he died, when Charles left her a voicemail — Charla, this is Charles Poe. I’m putting my estate matters in order and if you or your brother want to be included, call me back.Charla never returned his call. “I didn’t need or want anything from him,” she said.Charla graduated from Wake Forest University School of Law in 1998 with high honors and moved to Atlanta, where she has ded-icated nearly 25 years to building a reputation as a strong family law attorney. Charla has been celebrated in Atlanta Magazine’s Super Lawyers lists since 2006, Georgia Trend Magazine’s Legal Elite and LawDrag-on’s Top 500 Family Law Attorneys in the U.S. “I worked my butt off during my 20s, 30s and 40s,” Charla said. “As I was approaching 50, I was like, ‘OK, sometimes more is just more.’”Now, she works remotely for her own firm — Charla Strawser & Jill Byers Fami-ly Law — so she can spend more time at home with her 15-year-old son, Evan, and her partner, David Hunge-ling. She also teaches tri-al advocacy as an adjunct professor at Georgia State University College of Law, where she offers her students practical advice drawn from experience.She’s slowed down, but doesn’t think she’ll ever not work. It’s part of her pur-pose.Earlier this week, Char-la represented a mother of a 7-year-old son. Through collaboration with the op-posing counsel and media-tor, she was able to secure 50-50 custody for her client. After a tearful resolution, the mother embraced her.“You’re a rockstar,” she told Charla. “Thank you for helping me.”However, when Charla closes her eyes at night, and her mind wanders to the dark crevices of her past, there are very few people who can help her.Both of her parents are dead. So are her mother’s sisters, with the exception of Winnie, who has dementia. Charla is not on speaking terms with her brother.But she knows her cous-ins Trish Harless and Jim Wilson are a phone call away. Therapy has also helped - through three hour-long interviews about some of the hardest moments of her life, Charla didn’t shed a single tear. “It’s not always fun and it’s not always bad and it’s not always happy and it’s not always depressing,” Charla said. “What life is about is recognizing what’s happen-ing with you and then being able to manage it and appro-priately respond to it.”“I don’t give a lot of spe-cifics, but when people ask me, ‘Why did you become a divorce lawyer?’ I say, ‘Be-cause I don’t want any child to go through what I did,’” Charla said. “If I can be smart, try to problem-solve, not be contentious, be an advocate and try to guide people through the divorce process for the best interest of the entire family then I’ve done something. I’ve made what happened to me matter. I’ve made sense of it.” Recovering trauma victim now helping others DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023 - B11 Father and Son Remodeling No job too big or small we can do them all.
