They rep-resent the strength needed to continue putting one foot in front of the other to build a better life. They represent a pathway to a different future.”FPDC serves families with minor children who are at risk of or already experiencing homelessness. It provides pre-vention services before fam-ilies reach crisis, temporary shelter for those experiencing homelessness, and supportive services along the way.Since opening its doors in September 2017, FPDC has served 611 families and helped to prevent 877 episodes of homelessness. The numbers don’t end there: • 938 children served;• 91% of families enrolled in the shelter program grad-uate and obtain independent housing;• 94% of those families are still housed one year later;• 68% of families served are single mothers; and• 131 days on average in shelter and transitional hous-ing.“Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen a decrease in the availability of afford-able housing and an increase A pair of shoes by the fireplace at Family Promise of Davie represent the threat of homelessness local fam- ilies face. ‘Walk a mile’ Help Family Promise help others Please See Promise - Page 4 Balloons for Barbara Balloons were flying from mailboxes across parts of western Davie on Saturday, Jan. 13.

BarnetteJohn the disciple was one of the 12 disciples of Jesus, who is traditionally believed to be the author of the three letters of John, as well as the Gospel of John and the book of Revelation. He was one of the most prominent leaders of the early church.His parents were Zebedee, a fisherman in Galilee, and Salome, who were among the first followers of Jesus. His brother James was also a follower of Jesus. Their mother Salome was one of the women who ministered to the dis-ciples by fixing their food and so on. The 2 brothers were among the first chosen by Jesus. John, James, and Peter seemed to be the closest to Christ. Scholars also think that John was likely “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” as men-tioned in his Gospel.Only John, James, and Peter were with Jesus when he By Brad RhodesSyndicated Columnist As we age, it is natural to experience cognitive decline. This is a normal part of the aging process and may affect our ability to make sound financial decisions. Cognitive decline can impact our memory, judgment, and reasoning, making it difficult to manage our finances effectively.This can be a significant concern for older adults, who are often responsible for making critical financial deci-sions about their retirement, healthcare, and investments. If you are concerned about the impact of cognitive decline on your financial decision-making, there are steps you can take to prepare.There are several ways in which cognitive decline may impact financial decision-making. Some of the most com-mon include:• Memory loss: Difficulty remembering important fi-nancial information, such as account numbers, passwords, and due dates.• Judgment impairment: Difficulty making sound fi-nancial decisions, such as assessing risks and rewards or understanding complex financial products.• Reasoning impairment: Difficulty understanding fi-nancial concepts and calculations.These cognitive impairments can make it challenging for older adults to manage their finances effectively. They may be more likely to make poor financial decisions, such as falling victim to scams, investing in risky products, or overspending. They may also have difficulty paying bills on time and keeping track of their finances.There are a number of steps you can take to prepare for the possibility of cognitive decline and its impact on your financial decision-making. Some of the most important in-clude: • Talk to your doctor: If you are concerned about cog-nitive decline, talk to your doctor. They can assess your cognitive function and recommend any necessary tests or treatments.• Get organized: Create a system for organizing your finances, such as using a filing system or budgeting soft-ware. This will help you track your accounts, bills, and investments.• Simplify your finances: Reduce the number of finan-cial accounts you have and consolidate your investments. This will make it easier to manage your finances as you get older.• Assign a power of attorney: A power of attorney is an official document that authorizes another individual to manage your financial affairs. This can be especially im-portant if you become incapacitated and unable to make your own financial decisions.• Set up a trust: A trust is a legal framework wherein you can transfer the ownership of your assets to a trustee. The trustee then administers these assets for you, ensuring they are handled in line with your preferences, even in the event you are unable to manage them yourself.If you are considering assigning a power of attorney, choose someone trustworthy and capable of managing your finances. You should also understand the types of power of attorney and the authority that you are granting.Power of attorney can be categorized into two primary forms: general and limited. Under a general power of at-torney, the designated agent receives extensive powers to handle your financial affairs. In contrast, a limited power of attorney confers narrowly defined powers to the agent, such as the capacity to sell your property or oversee your investments.When assigning a power of attorney, you will specify the types of financial decisions that you are granting your agent the authority to make. You should also include any conditions or restrictions that you want to place on their authority.When exploring the option of establishing a trust, it's essential to seek legal advice tailored to your specific situ-ation. Trusts come in various forms, each suited to differ-ent needs and circumstances.A popular choice among older adults is the revocable living trust. This arrangement lets you transfer your assets into the trust while maintaining control over them during your lifetime. Additionally, you have the flexibility to dis-solve the trust if you choose.On the other hand, an irrevocable trust is a permanent arrangement. Once set up, it cannot be undone. These trusts are frequently utilized for asset protection from creditors and to meet eligibility requirements for Medicaid.Cognitive decline can have a significant impact on fi-nancial decision-making. Prepare for the possibility of cognitive decline by taking steps such as getting orga-nized, simplifying your finances, assigning a power of at-torney, or setting up a trust.By working with a financial advisor, you can gain peace of mind knowing that your finances are in good hands, even if you become incapacitated.Schedule a consultation with a financial advisor today to learn more about how you can protect your financial future.Key takeaways:• Cognitive decline can have a significant impact on fi-nancial decision-making.• There are steps you can take to prepare for the possi-bility of cognitive decline and its impact on your financial decision-making.• These steps include getting organized, simplifying your finances, and assigning a power of attorney or setting up a trust.Rhodes, a native North Carolinian, is a member of Syn-dicated Columnists, a national organization committed to a fully transparent approach to money management.

In ad-dition, he and Peter were sent to the city to prepare for the last supper. Many scholars identify John as “the disciple whom Jesus loved” and who was the one sitting beside him in the famous painting of “The Last Supper.” And only John was present at the crucifixion. Follow-ing instructions from his Master on the cross, John took Mary, the mother of Jesus, into his care.Following the crucifixion, John and Peter appeared a few times together. Writers about John think that he was exiled to the island of Patmos by the Romans because of preaching the gospel. And in the book of Revelation, which likely was written by him, John himself said he was there “for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.”I have always loved the writings of John and am hap-py to be studying about him in my Bible Study this year. There is something about his style of writing that just draws me into its beauty. My favorite verse is John 1:5, “And the light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.” KJV. The light of which he spoke was the light of the world.Sources: the Holy Bible, Encyclopedia Britannica, and articles online. The Tradition of Pea and BeanBy Stephanie Williams DeanIn medieval England, later, Twelfth Night became a celebration that signaled the end of Christmastide. The twelve-day festive period after Christmas ended with a fi-nal feast – the Twelfth Night – also referred to as the Feast of Epiphany, Three Kings Day, and Theophany. The feast ended the evening before the 6th of January – the day on which the three wise men, or Magi, are believed to have visited Jesus. And then a new season of Epiphanytide ran up until Candlemas. The word Epiphany comes from the Greek word “epiphaneia” which means appearance or manifestation and refers to the manifestation of Jesus to the world. Around the world, Christians mark the beginning of the season of Epiphany, usually on January 6th. Early Christians sure did use lots of words referring to this day – but there’s a reason why. And regardless of Please See Renegade ‑ Page 8 Yes, Virginia, there is a representative for Davie Coun-ty in the U.S. House.And her name is Foxx, Virginia Foxx.But not after this year’s election.Thanks to redistricting by the NC General Assembly, Davie County has been placed into a new 6th District. Da-vie went from joining counties to the west and north to a district that includes Davie, Rowan, Davidson and parts of Cabarrus, Guilford and Forsyth counties.It is a heavily Republican new district, and the former representative, Democrat Kathy Manning of Greensboro, chose not to seek reelection because of the majority of Republicans in the new district. In other words, she was “re-districted” out of office.We don’t provide extensive coverage of the U.S. races for political office; it’s just about more than we can han-dle to let our readers know about local candidates. But the absence of Virginia Foxx on the primary ballot - and the number of signs for other candidates that have been pop-ping up along our roadsides - brought several questions to our office.“Why can’t I vote for Virginia Foxx?”And almost without fail, when told she’s no longer in their district, they’ll be perturbed and mumble something about the Democrats trying to take over the world. Sorry, but this time it’s the Republicans trying to take over the world. They were in charge of the redistricting process. These people who want to vote for Virginia Foxx are al-ways somewhat calmed when told, after their grumbling, that a Democrat will likely never be elected to represent the 6th District as it is drawn today.It’s so Republican that there isn’t a Democrat running for the office. Manning was the incumbent, and she with-drew from the race after the new districts were drawn.The GOP candidates are Bo Hines, Addison McDow-ell, Jay Wagner, Mark Walker, Christian Castelli and Mary Ann Contogiannis. No favorites here. No recommenda-tions here.The redistricting also included state senate and house seats. Davie is in a state senate district with Davidson County. Davie is in a state house district with Yadkin County and a portion of Rowan. Again, both are over-whelmingly occupied by Republican voters.It is confusing, to be sure. After all, it’s government, which in itself is often confusing - no matter which side of the aisle you rest your feet.But local Republicans shouldn’t fret. While they won’t get to vote for Virginia Foxx, they will get to vote to for a Republican to replace a Democrat in the new 6th District.Progress? We’ll see.- Mike Barnhardt Yes, Virginia, Davie’s rep is a Foxx; but not after election DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024 - 3 This scripture message brought to you by these businesses who encourage you to worship at the church of your choice.

As home-like and welcoming as our shelter space is, it’s still challenging for families, especially children, to share space with other families and our staff long-term,” said Reynolds. “Once families in our shelter have achieved some of their initial goals, they can move into a transitional hous-ing unit while they wait for permanent, independent hous-ing. ‘Families in transitional housing continue to work with our case manager and receive supportive services. FPDC’s transitional housing units are single-family homes, so they don’t have to share space with anyone else. This provides a stepping stone from experiencing homelessness to being permanently housed. “It gives families a sense of normalcy, privacy, and in-dependence, just like we all desire,” she said.The organization’s ability to assist families is possi-ble because of donations from businesses, congregations, foundations, and individuals.“The work we are doing is making lasting changes for Davie County families,” Reynolds said.Family Promise has always been a community-wide ef-fort from local churches dropping off meals to businesses that give financially to partnering with other local nonprof-its. “We would not be where we are today without the sup-port of so many,” Reynolds said. On Nov. 16, FPDC received a grant from Davie County Pearls of Empowerment during its annual women’s lun-cheon. Established in 2009, Pears of is a giving circle of women seeking to improve the lives of women and chil-dren in Davie County. By pooling annual contributions, grants are funded. While accepting the check, Reynolds shared the story of a family moving from the shelter program into a transi-tional housing unit. This single mother and her three children had been in the shelter since July, so this was a huge step toward per-manent housing. The week after moving into transitional housing, they returned to the office and shelter space to pick up a few of their belongings. “Susie (not her real name), a 4 year old in this fami-ly, came into my office, and with all the excitement a 4 year old could muster, said, ‘Mrs. Lisa, Mrs. Lisa, did you know I don’t live here anymore? I have a house now.’ Having a house is something that many children take for granted, but it’s the one thing that Susie couldn’t wait to tell me about.“A child’s future begins at home, and you are giving them that foundation. On behalf of all the Susies that we have served and will continue to serve, thank you.”FPDC’s staff and board of trustees announced that “A Promise of Christmas,” the organization’s annual fund-raiser, exceeded its goal. “Thanks to everyone who participated, we exceeded our event fundraising goal and are so grateful,” said Reyn-olds. “This event is always so festive and fun, and we hope to have an even larger crowd next year.” “Special thank you to the Farm at Oak Hill for host-ing us, A Full Measure Catering for feeding us, and The Swicegood Group for managing our auctions. We are also grateful to everyone who donated auction items or spon-sored our event.”The following is a list of contributors.

Davie Chamber Presi-dent Caroline Moser and Mocksville Director of Marketing and Communi-ty Development Jennifer Evens want to ensure that applicants understand that they can apply for grants from both organizations. "Both the Davie Coun-ty and Mocksville Tourism grants are perfect for those trying to bring more life to town with their events. This will also help enhance eco-nomic gains for the county and the town,” said Evens. The Davie Chamber promotes the communi-ty through county-wide tourism initiatives and the Discover Davie County website and is home to the Davie County Visitor Cen-te filled with free regional brochures and maps. Moser said a large por-tion of the chamber’s tour-ism budget, funded through the county’s hotel occu-pancy tax, goes to support local organizations that “help make Davie County the unique place that we all know and love” through tourism grants. “Over the years, we have had the op-portunity to support dozens of special organizations and programs.”Grant applications are reviewed by the Davie County Tourism Advisory Board, which serves to as-sist with the development and marketing of Davie County’s tourism attrac-tions, assets, and potential tourism sites; and to en-courage the economic de-velopment of Davie County through travel and tourism. The advisory board is com-prised of Davie County business leaders who pro-vide experience and sup-port. Each year, Downtown Mocksville hosts concerts, outdoor movies, festivals, and special events. Howev-er, the Mocksville Tourism Development Authority (MTDA) also welcomes grant proposals for special projects and events de-signed to attract visitors to Downtown Mocksville and Davie County."We are so excited to hear your ideas and see if we can assist in any way for financial support,” Evens said. “Our goal is to drive more visitors down-town and meet new people. There is so much to enjoy here in Downtown Mocks-ville. "The grants are funded through the town’s portion of the county’s hotel occu-pancy tax and are reviewed by the MTDA, which as-sists with the development and marketing of Mocks-ville’s tourism attractions, assets, and potential tour-ism sites. The MTDA board is made up of a represen-tative of the Mocksville Town Board and Davie County Tourism, as well as Mocksville business own-ers and leaders.

This is not the case,” Miller said. Participants compete with their age category, 50-54, 55-59, etc. until age 100+. Participants will be bro-ken down into categories between men and women, so the 50-54 aged men will play against each other and the 50-54 women would play against each other, continuing for each age group.Age groups are deter-mined by the age you will be by Dec. 31, so if you are 74 during the spring season, but you are going to turn 75 in November, you would play in the 75-79 age bracket during the spring, even though you are not yet 75.Davie County Senior Games and SilverArts Reg-istration will run through Feb. 23. Registration forms can be picked up at the Se-nior Services Main Cam-pus, Senior Services Brock Campus, Davie County Recreation and Parks, Da-vie County Public Library, RISE Indoor Sports Com-plex, and Davie Family YMCA. “As one can see, there is something for everyone 50 or older to become in-volved in, and you do not want to miss this season,” Miller said. “Grab a friend and join in the fun.”To learn more, contact Miller at 336-753-6230 or cmiller@daviecountync.gov.

In the eyes of the public, it may appear to be an easy cushy kind of job that any idiot can do. But, they do not see all the work of so many to get one of their letters or pack-ages to its destination. Sometimes, postal employees are treated somewhere between being a child and a slave, are always expected to have a high level of expertise, be willing to sacrifice personal time with commitment, have the ability to handle tough situations, and not be afraid of hard work. It is a challenging job that tests the limits emotionally and physically. Anyone who makes it to retirement must have found something they liked and should be commended.Since my own retire-ment, several coworkers have also taken that step of evolving (in Serena Wil-liams’ word). Now again, it’s time for another sea-soned mail carrier to begin the next phase of her life. As Fred Rogers quotes, “Often when you are at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.” To my friend and former coworker, congratulations Barbara Koontz, you have earned this milestone to do something else with your life.Barbara began her postal career as a rural carrier associate in 1983 with no guarantee of benefits and regular hours until she be-came full-time seven years later. She had five out of six of her children while working at the post office. Her mother helped out a lot as did her dad. Her dad Barbara Koontz thanks her friends on her mail route for attaching balloons to their mailboxes, making her final day on the job more special. - Photos courtesy Callahan Koontz was a lifesaver more than once, coming on the route to help when she had a flat tire or when something went wrong with her car (which she had to provide for the job). Barbara stated that when she would call him in the beginning, he would just ask “where you at?” Then, it got to where he would say “what do you want?” She remembers one day in particular when it was icy, her dad was helping by driving her around the route. They were going down a steep icy hill with a one lane bridge at the bottom. He was putting the car in neutral to get down the hill. She looked at him and said she was afraid they were going to hit the bridge. Her dad said he was afraid they were not going to hit the bridge.Those kind of moments are precious memories. Barbara also contributes her longevity on the job to Arthur, her husband of 46 years. He has always been there helping through thick and thin, giving her an alarm clock radio at the beginning which is still in use; now no longer needed. Maybe it can be handed down to daughter, Callah-an, to make sure she gets to work at the post office on time.Only four cars (Nova, Buick, Subaru, Jeep) have been driven by Barbara during these 40 years. She’s typically driven around 59 miles per day which adds up to over 15,000 miles per year. That’s a testament to these vehicles or to Arthur’s ability in the mechanical realm of things. It’s no wonder she was awarded with the Million Mile Club Award a few years ago.During the party given in Barbara’s honor on Friday, Jan. 12, she shared with friends, family and coworkers what has been most precious to her about $0 joining fee valid through January 31, 2024.

It is not only about car-rying the mail, but getting to know her customers and their children, seeing those children grow up, and keeping a watchful eye out for someone who may need help. One such occasion was when an elderly man ran to her because his grand-son was having a seizure; another time an elderly man was hanging upside down on his outside stair rails as she was driving by. And, it’s always sweet when children are out in the summertime selling lemonade. Mail carriers are a vital part of our small commu-nities, sometimes they are the only person that will be there to notice that some-thing is awry. Barbara stated that the people on her route will always hold a special place in her heart. And, with the outpour-ing of love she was shown on her last day of work (Jan. 13), I feel sure she holds a special place in her customer’s hearts as well.No more roller coaster rides down gravel roads with pot holes (or ice), time for endless naps with better days ahead to enjoy this new chapter of your life.

Main St., Mocksville. Crystal Webb, owner, cut the ribbon surrounded by family, friend, and cus-tomers. She has worked in the cosmetology industry for more than 30 years, and opening her own business is a dream come true.As a young girl, Crystal watched her mother style hair and began assisting her at age 12. By the time she graduated from North Rowan in 1998, she knew she wanted to pursue certi-fication in the cosmetology field. Crystal moved to D.C. and stayed with a relative so that she could attend Dudley Beauty School. Af-ter graduation, she moved back to North Carolina and started styling hair for cus-tomers in her home. “I enjoy making those with insecurities feel better about themselves.” After several years of styling hair at her resi-dence, she is opening Crys-tal’s Beauty Supply, a place where she will style hair as well as sell products. Products include shampoo, conditioner, scalp and hair treatments, oils, items for thinning and frizzing, de-tanglers, holding sprays, combs and brushes, rollers, bonnets, bows, gels, colors, and other hair products. Additional items include jewelry, incense, perfumes, handbags, and more. Crystal braids hair, and has experience with knot-less and box braids, cro-chets, and sew-ins. She serves all ethnic groups. Her fiancé, Gregory Butler, will also be working at the business. Crystal’s mother, Rene Mason, is proud of her daughter’s accomplish-ment. “I pray that they succeed in everything they step out in faith to do.”Hours are Monday-Fri-day 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sat-urday 9 a.m.-2 p.m. The most rewarding part, she said, is “making lifelong friends.” Crystal’s Beauty Supply ia also on Facebook. Family, friends and customers join Crystal Webb for the grand opening of her beauty supply store on South Main Street in Mocksville. - Photos courtesy 2:AM Photography Beauty supply store opens on South Main Crystal Webb waits on a customer.

WE DO IT ALL! GIVE US A CALL TODAY! Continued From Page 2the name, Twelfth Night was tied to biblical accounts of Jesus Christ’s birth and baptism. Some Western Christian churches called the feast day – the Three Kings Day – re-calling the visit of the wise men. But Eastern traditions call it Theophany – with a focus on the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. The holiday was a chance for Christians to reflect on the nature of God’s physical manifestation on Earth and pay homage to Christ’s visitors in the Biblical account of Jesus’ birth. These days, marked by celebrations, festivals, and feasts were a time when food often played an important role. One common practice was the baking of a celebration bread or cake that contained fruit and spices and served at the Twelfth Night feast or Epiphany. A popular Twelfth Night tradition was to have a bean or pea hidden inside what was called a Twelfth Night Cake, or sometimes called a Three Kings Cake. As part of the celebration, the man who found the bean in his slice of cake became King for the night while the lady who found a pea in her slice became Queen for the night. Part of the revelry and fun – the man and woman be-came the king and queen of Twelfth Night. Renegade ...

If people experiencing homelessness are not counted, there is either low or no funding toward providing shelter or longer-term housing. HUD makes the rules and guidelines regarding home-lessness, placing people and agencies in categories. HUD also defines how the population in need is count-ed. It has set up a system and training that coordi-nates Point-in-Time counts. Folks living in sheltered situations are counted by the agency funding their accommodations, or if they are living on the street, in a car, camping in the out-of-doors, agency employ-ees and trained volunteers do their best to locate and count them.This year, Partners Da-vie County Community Housing Council is invit-ing those in need to gather at the Scottish Inn, 1034 Yadkinville Road, Mocks-ville, Friday, Feb. 1 from 4-6 p.m.Partners Health Man-agement is working with agencies to assist with the Point-in-Time and to offer resources on site.

Budget ... 10 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024 Bless Your Spoon By Stephanie Williams Dean Carefully sinking my teeth into a cake square, I had hoped to discover a pea. It was at that moment that chocolate cake took on new meaning besides being a favorite dessert. The minute had been my one chance to be crowned and play queen for a night. But, alas, there was no pea in the cake, not in my piece, anyway, nor was there a crown placed on my head. But often, we do find what we seek and we’re blessed because of it.Homemade and baked by Alan Reed, the organist and choirmaster for St. John’s Episcopal Church in Charlotte, the cake contained two tiny sur-prises. The decadent, cocoa-rich, sheet pan confection – baked with a pea and bean inside – was iced with a sweet, rich fudge frosting and topped with festive, multicol-ored sprinkles The cake tradition called a Twelfth Night, or Three Kings Cake, relates to the twelfth night of Christmastide – the Epiphany, also called Theophany or Three Kings’ Day. According to custom, the cake was a festival cake tra-ditionally baked for the feast of Epiphany.As the tradition went, a single dried pea and bean was baked in the cake – and only the baker knew where. A large party was held at which time a slice of cake was handed to each guest as they arrived. Whoever found the dried bean became King, and the pea, the Queen, of the Twelfth Night. That was just one early Christian tradition that included a feast, church service, carols, and a bit of merrymaking. And make merry we did. Celebrating the 75th anniversary this year, the Char-lotte chapter of the American Guild of Organists presented a “We Gather” epiphany dinner and worship service. The Guild curated a delicious meal for guests – a rolled chicken breast entrée alongside savory, buttery potatoes and fresh, crisp, green asparagus with a buttery garlic roll. Hoping to find the pea or bean in the cake, every guest saved some room for dessert. The Twelfth Night Cake was a delightful combination of moist chocolate with a rich, flavorful frosting – and left everyone craving another mor-sel. I enjoy looking back in history to see how early Chris-tians celebrated their faith. One thing remains true. Food played an important part. I guess this all means to say that we, too, can bake cakes and share in early customs for seasons and holidays. But the best was yet to come at the after-supper service of carols that carried worshippers through advent, the birth of Christ, the trusting in the promises of God, and the cel-ebration of time, and a new heaven and earth. Zach Bowyer, who studied organ under Joby Bell at Appalachian State University, is Dean of the Guild and Director of Music at South Mecklenburg Presbyterian Church, treating guests with a phenomenal performance on organ.At the end of the service, each worshipper drew a word from a basket – a star gift. The use of star words is a prayer practice connected to Epiphany and the new year. Often called intention or guiding words, they are written on pa-per stars and then randomly drawn. With my star word be-ing “seek”. I was encouraged to put the star somewhere where I’d see it regularly throughout the year to allow for consistent reflection on how God has moved in my life as connected to that word. The sacred finale to the service was Zach’s organ post-lude, “March on LAUDA ANIMA” – listen on YouTube – the piece is gorgeous. If you love organ music – discov-er more organ events at the local/regional chapters of the American Guild of Organists.God uses multiple ways to lead us – look for God in all you do. Make it a common prayer practice to speak to God and reflect and review. We might not have frankincense, and we don’t ride on camels, but we’re seeking Him – and we belong to Him. God has claimed us, loved us, and fed us. So, let’s all gather, hear, and respond to the Word – and go out to serve. God is here with us, now.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record In the Phillip Reed Rumble at Glenn on Jan. 13, Davie wrestling superstar Hunter Testa pinned all three of his 175-pound opponents in the first period. The senior was on the mat for a total of four min-utes, 17 seconds. His season record is 30-0 (21 pins). He hasn’t lost a regular-season match since his sophomore year. At some point, there are just no words left to say. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record After the first quarter, it was over. The silence of the Davie fans said so. The scoreboard - Reynolds 30, Davie 6 - said so. The upbeat fans from Forsyth County said so. Just eight minutes in, it was over. And then it wasn’t. After trailing by 24, after fall-ing behind by 19 in the third quar-ter, the War Eagles rose from the dead and won going away, 65-56, on Jan. 19. The improbable, riveting come-back that Davie’s boys basketball team pulled off in front of a rabid crowd will be etched in Davie lore forever, and it came with the War By Brian PittsEnterprise Record What a roller-coaster ride it’s been for the Davie JV boys bas-ketball team. It’s last six games: loss, win, loss, win, loss, win. At halftime against Reynolds, the War Eagles were on the verge of back-to-back defeats. But Jake Runge and Co. saved Davie’s bacon in the second half as Davie rallied to improve its record to 9-4. Glenn 56, Davie 53The War Eagles couldn’t have started much better at Glenn on Jan. 17. Brady Vallance scored six points in a hurry as Davie jumped to a 15-6 lead. On paper, it looked like victory was all but certain. Glenn lost 51-50 to Lexington, which lost by 37 and 24 to Davie. Glenn lost by 45 to Reagan, which shaved Davie by five. And Davie looked ready to roll after the first quarter. But the War Eagles cooled off considerably and things went sour. Glenn outscored Davie 17-9 in the second quarter to get within one, and it erased Davie’s 44-41 lead in the fourth. “We went on a drought and they started making 3s,” coach Tracey Arnold said. “They made some logo shots from deep, and the next thing you know it was tight.”Down three with six seconds to go, Arnold called timeout to set up a 3-point try. Davie missed at the buzzer and watched a 4-11 opponent celebrate. “We had our chances,” Arnold said. “We missed some shots that we should have made, and they made shots they probably have not made all year.”CJ Coleman took over in the third, hit three 3s and finished with 20 points. Vallance (10) posted his highest scoring total in six games. Ben Reid (7), Aiden Horton (6), George Sakai (5) and Jayden War-ren (5) rounded out the scoring. “Coleman carried us in the third,” Arnold said of his 12-point explosion. “He was a man pos-sessed in the third. He could not be stopped.”Davie was hampered by the absence of Jake Runge, who was averaging 9.2 points but was side-lined by a stress fracture in a finger on his right (shooting) hand. “He’s probably going to be out at least another week,” Arnold said. Davie 44, Reynolds 34Not only did Runge return sooner than expected, he made the By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie girls basketball team took care of business against hap-less Glenn, but the up-and-down War Eagles suffered a tough loss to Reynolds. That’s just the way life is in the Central Piedmont Conference. Now Davie, West Forsyth and Parkland are tied for third at 3-3, while Reynolds and Mt. Tabor are tied for first at 6-1. Reagan is sixth at 3-4. Davie 60, Glenn 39In Kernersville on Jan. 17, the War Eagles came out sluggish, fell behind 9-5 and coach Lindsey Adams called a quick timeout. “It’s hard when you come off a game with Parkland and play someone that has not won a game in conference,” Adams said. “Trying to keep your team focused and being disciplined was challenging.”Awakened, Davie feasted on the Bobcats (2-14, 0-6 CPC) the rest of the game, closing the half on a 26-8 run. Bailey Ader-hold accounted for 10 of the 26, with Emmie Burris and Malayka Rankin scoring six each during the spree. The run began with an Avarie Martin bucket in the lane, and it was capped by Burris’ mid-range jumper. In between were three triples by Aderhold. For good measure, Davie whipped out a 17-4 run in the third that included buckets from Aderhold, Rankin, Martin, Burris and Vivian Vaughters. Before garbage time, when the War Eagles missed 11 of 13 field goals, they shot a steady 43 percent (22-51). Rankin (15 points, 10 rebounds) produced her third double-double of the campaign. The senior hit 6 of 9 shots and added 2 assists and 2 steals. Aderhold (15 points) had 15-plus for the third time while hitting four 3s and handing out 2 assists. Burris collected 10 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. Martin turned in 8 points, 7 boards and 2 blocks. Other contributions came from Madison Daugherty (6 points), Vaughters (4 points, 4 rebounds) and Peyton Spaugh (2 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals). The defensive player of the game was Vaughters, a hard-nosed freshman who relishes a defensive challenge. In the first half, Adams was not pleased with Alyssa Jessup’s 13-point output. Credit Vaughters for Jessup’s quiet second half. “I was disappointed that one girl had 13 points at halftime,” Adams said. “I was very frustrated with our defensive effort on her. My goal in the third quarter was for her not to score. We came out in a 1-3-1 and she scored again and I said: ‘Match up, who wants her?’ And Vivian once again stepped up and said: ‘I want to guard her.’ I don’t think the girl scored the rest of the third. Vivian face-guarded her, bought in defensively and the rest of them fed off of that energy.”Notes: Davie defeated the Bob-cats, who shot 28 percent (15-52), for the fifth time in a row. ... Zah-mirah Summers came up from JV and became the seventh freshman to see varsity action this season. Reynolds 48, Davie 43Davie bolted to a 13-4 lead and missed a golden opportunity to gain a share of second place on Jan. 19. Visiting Reynolds (10-7) came back methodically, pulled away in the fourth quarter and spoiled a fabulous shooting per-formance by Daugherty. A freshman guard who was averaging 7.6 points, Daugherty poured in a season-high 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting overall and 5-for-6 marksmanship from be-yond the arc. The 13-4 lead in the first quarter featured a pair of 3s from Aderhold and an and-one by Daugherty on a fast-break feed from Spaugh. Davie, though, missed seven of its last eight shots in the half and Reynolds made four straight to seize a 23-22 halftime lead. Hot-and-cold Davie banged four straight 3s in the third to surge to a 34-30 lead. Three of them came from Daugherty, the other from Burris. And when Rankin converted a reverse layup, Davie had a 36-35 lead in the fourth. But that proved to be Davie’s last push. Reynolds secured the outcome with a 13-2 run that opened up a 48-38 margin. A Martin stickback was Davie’s only field goal during that stretch. The outcome overshadowed a defensive effort by Rankin, who drew 4 charges to go with 9 points. Aderhold had 6 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Martin and Burris had 3 points. Spaugh had 2 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. Vaughters had 2 points. Davie (9-7) has dropped four of the last five against Reynolds. Reynolds shot 44 percent (17-38) to Davie’s 42 percent (15-35). Girls beat Glenn; lose to Reynolds Eagles (15-0 overall, 5-0 Central Piedmont Conference) in the midst of a special season. “To see that type of crowd fill up ... that is a whole culture change,” coach Josh Pittman said. “It’s happening right before our eyes. It was standing-room only in there. We’ve had some crowds, but that’s probably the most I’ve ever seen. I honestly feel like we play better on the road. I feel like we’re more locked in and our mind is sharper, but when we’re at home, those people push us back into the game. That Davie energy is just unmatched.”The win tied the record for best start/longest winning streak in Davie’s 68-year history. The 1999-00 War Eagles of coach Jim Young and star Duane Phillips started 15-0. But the War Eagles were star- ing an upset loss in the face in the early going. Their only lead until the fourth quarter was a Coleman Lawhon steal/breakaway layup that gave Davie a 2-0 lead. The War Eagles outplayed Reynolds in the second quarter, but they still trailed 38-22 at the half. “We gave up 30 points (in the first quarter) to a team that aver-ages 52 or 53,” Pittman said. “We paid attention to everything (in the scouting report), but I don’t think our energy was as good as it should’ve been or could’ve been. But it’s hard to be upset because it was exam week. We’re talking about kids. They were at home all day probably laying around, and normally we would have played on Wednesday and we would’ve been in a better spot. You’re talking about seven days off and most of the kids were at home Thursday and Friday, so I expected us to be a little flat - and you combine that with the way they shot the ball.”In the first half, ice-cold Davie went 8 of 30 from the field, includ-ing 1 of 11 on 3-pointers, for 26 percent. Meanwhile, the Demons were 6 of 9 from 3-point range and 11 of 24 overall. “If I heard ‘boom’ one more time (after a Reynolds 3), I was going to lose my mind,” Pittman said with a laugh. “They shot the lights out. What can you say except stay composed and try to get back in the game.”What was Pittman’s halftime message? “I said: ‘Our goal is to hold them to eight and eight (in each quarter),’” he said. “If we lock in and focus, we’ll be fine. If they shoot it like that all night, hey, so be it.” The way the second half started did not give comfort to the Davie faithful. Reynolds buried another 3, making it 7 of 10 from long range. The deficit was now 41-22. But Davie rampaged back, Jackson Powers igniting a 43-15 run with a 3-pointer. On a fast break, Ethan Driver assisted a basket by Ethan Ratledge. Driv-er scored off a steal. Ratledge completed a three-point play. You could feel the panic rising in Reynolds when Driver nailed a 3 to make it 46-36 with 2:22 left in the third. Later in the third, Driver scored off an offensive rebound. Powers scored the next four points as Da-vie pulled within 50-42 at the end of the third. Powers (16 points, 10 rebounds, Testa dominates; Davie wins Reed Rumble “Hunter did what he does,” coach Josh Stanley said. “He’s a spectacle. Everybody is wrestling for third. It’s fun to watch because nobody deserves it more. He want-ed to fight MMA and be a UFC fighter when he was little, so he was boxing and taking kickboxing classes. So being extreme was always something he was com-fortable with, and that transitioned over to how hard he would work and what level he was pushing in the practice room. Nobody really wants to stand in front of Hunter. He is going to torture his partners and then pick you up and smile at you. He’s got the best mentality ever, but he’s got that dog in him. As a kid he was a pudgy little guy and he took a lot of beatings and embraced it. Now it is his turn.”The War Eagles captured the 23-team event with plenty of room to spare, marking their third tournament triumph in four tries, the exception being a runner-up finish at Orange. Davie rolled up 236 points to runner-up Mallard Creek’s 179.5 and third-place Mt. Pleasant’s 130.5. Davie posted three first-place finishers, put six in the finals and placed 11 of its 21 guys in the top four. The other two first-place per-formers were sophomores Andy Davis (4-0 at 138) and Maddox Creason (3-0 at 165). Creason’s emergence has been one of the season’s top stories. After going 2-7 at 160 as a freshman, he has soared to 15-6 in year two. “Getting his first tournament Un-be-frigging-lievable Boys erase 24-point deficit; remain unbeaten JV boys up and down Please See JVs - Page B2 Please See Erase - Page B2 Braxton Hunter, a sophomore at 132, puts the clamps on his opponent. - Photo by Ashley Bowden B2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024 Continued From Page B14 assists, 2 blocks) went to work inside in the second half and finished with his sixth double-double of the season. “I told Jackson: ‘Any-time it gets physical, you start migrating to the 3-point line. I need you on the block and I need you to do what Jackson Powers does,’” Pittman said. “Once he got on the block and started establishing himself, the rim opened up and we played wonderful defense along with that.”In the fourth, Davie put the pedal to the floor and Bryson Mickey began light-ing things up. Mickey’s trey made it 50-45 at 7:04. Less than a minute later, Driv-er’s offensive board led to another Mickey triple. Now it was 50-48. Mickey paced the of-fense, rang up 19 points for the fourth time and drilled 4 of 5 3-pointers. Oh, and he also ripped down eight rebounds. “Bryson started knocking down shots, but the main thing was we pounded the ball inside and that opened it up for the outside,” Pitt-man said. When Powers drained a 17-footer to cut Reynolds’ lead to 52-50, Davie had the momentum and the crowd on its side. On a fast break, Lawhon made a beautiful dish to Powers, who tied it at 52 with 4:49 remaining. Driver blocked a shot, which led to a Mickey 3 that put Davie ahead 56-53 at 2:48 - its first lead since 2-0. “Our defense created our offense,” Pittman said. At this point, Lawhon was in his zone. He snatched a Reynolds miss and Davie was off and running, with Driver taking a pass from Powers and splashing a 3 that made it 59-53. The cherry on top was a Lawhon drive to the hole.

Through three games, the competition has been infe-rior to the South Davie JV boys basketball team. The Tigers improved to 3-0 last week, but coach Germain Mayfield wasn’t about to let his boys take a victory lap. “We have four tough games in a row, so we will get to see where we are for sure in the next two weeks,” he said. SD 51, NR 38Dreighton Lunnerman joined the lineup after miss-ing the opener and South cruised past visiting North Rowan on Jan. 17. Jared Vaughters (14 points) and Lunnerman (12) fueled the attack. “Dreighton doesn’t un-derstand the game yet, but when he does, he might be special,” Mayfield said. Colson Dulin and James Martin had eight points apiece. Kayden Young had four, Crosby Parker three and Kyllan Dulin two. James is the younger broth-er of William Martin, who averaged 10.5 points for South’s 16-1 varsity team in 2023. “James is the same player but a little more athlet-ic,” Mayfield said. “But he doesn’t have the same skill level yet.”SD 60, CG 30 Although the losing streak continued, the Davie JV girls basketball team played about as well as coach Lamar Russell could have hoped against visiting Reynolds on Jan. 19. Davie fell 37-27 despite 15 points from Britany Her-nandez, who rolled up 30 in two games last week. “We had a good game plan and it worked for the most part - just a few mis-takes that we have to clean up,” Russell said.

It was a really big deal.“Cooper has had amaz-ing development over the last year in a variety of ways. Part of it is physical maturity, getting stronger, shedding some baby weight for lack of a better term. So he’s much more of a physi-cal specimen. Now his work habits are off the charts. I’m not sure if he threw over 50 feet last year, I don’t think he did. He was around 48 or 49 feet. He is now over 57.”Cooper gets his athletic gifts honestly. His oldest brother, Spencer, is a soph-omore thrower for the North Carolina Tar Heels. The middle brother, Palmer, is a freshman punter at Baylor. “Spencer had a real nice freshman year,” Raisbeck said. “He was seventh in the ACC outdoor in the shot.”More good news: Sweet has glittering numbers of his own. His pole vault clearance of 13-6 made him the No. 13 sophomore in the coun-try. When he cleared 14-1 last month, that made him the No. 8 sophomore in the country. In the state, he is ranked the No. 1 sophomore and No. 12 overall. He just cleared 14-6 to make him the No. 6 sophomore in the country. Sweet recently attended the National Pole Vault Summit in Reno, Nevada. It’s the largest pole vault event in the world, attracting 1,300 pole vaulters on Jan. 12-13. . “You had kids from all over the country there,” Raisbeck said. “AJ and Cooper both have a shot to do really well at the state indoor meet (Feb. 9 at JDL in Winston-Salem). Cooper has a good shot to win it. AJ is the around No. 5 in 4-A. So if he has his best effort, he definitely has a shot at top three.”Mason Kuhnemann has qualified for the state thanks to his personal-record 6-0 in the high jump. started taking it to the hole,” Arnold said. “He usually just shoots. In the first half of the year, he was (an out-side) shooter and I told him I wanted him to be more of a scorer and not just a shooter. (In the fourth) he was hitting floaters and getting to the rack, so he’s turning into a well-rounded scorer.”The War Eagles played uninspired in the first half and found themselves be-hind 16-11. Varsity coach Josh Pittman visited the halftime huddle and the boys took his message to heart. The second half was another story. “Coach Pittman came out in the hallway when we were talking and he told those guys they needed to represent Davie, that they needed to play for the school, because we were getting outplayed and Reyn-olds was talking junk,” Ar-nold said. “That fired our guys up.”Getting offensive lifts from Reid, Runge, Horton, Coleman and Vallance, Da-vie rocked the Demons 16-6 in the third. Then Runge drove the nails in Reynolds’ coffin as Davie walked away with a satisfying victory. Coleman finished with 11, followed by Vallance with seven. Horton and Reid had six each.“In the second half, our focused and intensity was better,” Arnold said. “We started picking up fullcourt, getting stops and we started attacking on the offensive end.“Ben only had six (points), but he played his best defensive game. He was strong on the boards, he blocked a lot of shots and altered a lot of shots. He played with a lot more energy. I told him the day before we needed more production inside from him, and he responded. Brady handled the ball and played good defense.”It was the fourth straight game that Horton has pro-duced points. “Aiden has been doing real well in practice, he played well at Glenn and he got the start,” he said. “He played a good, solid game. He played good on the defensive end.” with 1:25 on the clock, the epic comeback was all but in the books. “I actually started free-lancing in the second half,” Pittman said. “I called a play and Tracey (Arnold) said: ‘What’s that?’ I said: ‘Man, it’s something that’s going to work.’ I used to run it for a big guy who played at Marquette. That’s all I ran in the fourth quarter.”Take a bow, Mr. Driver. All the sophomore did was score 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting. It was his big-gest scoring night in nine games. He also controlled six boards. Davie doesn’t win without Lawhon’s 10 points, four rebounds and two steals and Ratledge’s eight points. Bench guys like Elliott Erlandsson (two points), Braddock Coleman, Adam Brown, Landon Waller, Cam Owens and Landon King also deserve some credit for their defense and intan-gibles. Reynolds shot 5 of 22 in the second half and got outrebounded 32-13 for the game. Davie’s second-half shooting reads like a mis-print: 14 of 18 overall, 5 of 7 from 3. “I don’t mind losing, but to get where we want to go, we can’t lose at home,” Pit-tman said. “The whole team - Adam Brown, Landon King, Braddock Coleman, Ethan Driver, Cam Owens - played hard and it changed the game.” Notes: Reynolds slipped to 9-8. ... The top of the CPC standings entering the week: Davie 5-0, Mt. Tabor 6-1, West Forsyth 5-1. ... Davie has a three-game winning streak against the Demons. ... This was not the first mag-ical comeback of 2023-24. On Dec. 8 at home, Davie trailed Alexander Central 47-33 at the end of the third. Davie outscored AC 29-6 in the fourth to win 62-53. A week later, Davie overrode East Forsyth’s 40-37 lead at the end of the third and won 74-69. ... The comeback over Reynolds conjured up memories of the 2003 Sam Moir Christmas Clas-sic final against Salisbury at Catawba College. The Hornets were ahead 50-32 with 7:10 to go. When the dust settled, Davie was a 67-58 winner. Josh Aiken (17 points), Michael Mashore (13), Foo Smith (13) and Cliff Burns (10) powered that miraculous rally. North, South JV boys having early success Lunnerman and Vaugh-ters stayed hot, Parker found a rhythm from behind the arc and the result was a 30-point destruction of host China Grove on Jan. 18. The first quarter was a 22-17 shootout, but South dominated from there to run its record to 3-0. Lunnerman had 18. Vaughters (14) had at least 14 for the third time. And Parker buried three 3s on the way to 12. C. Dulin, Young and Brody Lagle chipped in five each. Martin had one. “We’ve got a long ways to go, but we are taking baby steps,” Mayfield said. “The ball is starting to move a little ore, which means we are taking better shots.”Erwin 43, ND 41North Davie got punched in the face in the first half as it faced a 25-13 halftime deficit. The Wildcats came all the way back in the third, tying the score at 27, but they came up just short against the visiting Eagles on Jan. 16. “It was a heartbreaking loss,” coach Trevor Gooch said. North’s offense came from Nathan Smith (13 points), Tannyr Carrier (12), Wade Ridenhour (eight), Peyton Jordan (five) and Levi Morales (three). The score was 41-41 with under a minute to play. Erwin held on by hitting two free throws. “I’m really proud of our guys for coming back,” Gooch said. “We stepped up the defensive pressure and took the lead, 39-37, but we could not close the deal.“Tannyr had a huge game playing point guard, and Nathan had a nice game in the post.”ND 57, NR 31Two days later, North Davie rolled to 3-1 by dis-patching North Rowan on the road. Morales (18) put up the most points by a Wildcat in four games. Carrier (11) hit double figures for the third game in a row. Ridenhour, who has recorded at least seven in every game, had 11. Smith had nine points and 12 rebounds. Jordan (8 points, 8 boards) also flirted with a double-double. “Levi had a breakout game with nice drives to the basket and some mid-range jump shots,” Gooch said. “We switched his position from the post to a guard. The other two guards, Tan-nyr and Wade, both had a solid game.”Ellis 44, CG 9With Jordan Crowley and Chance McLean combining for 23 points, Ellis obliter-ated visiting China Grove in the Jaguars’ opener on Jan. 16. “The kids played ex-tremely well,” coach Mike Dinkins said. “It could’ve been a little bit worse. I played 12 out of 14 kids in the first quarter. I did not start my best five.”Crowley and McLean led with 13 and 10, respectively. Peyton Fishel (8), Graham Wood (5), Ryan Richardson (2), Josiah Warren (2), Cam James (2) and Joseph Bur-chette (2) also scored. “Cam played extremely well inside,” Dinkins said. “He controlled the boards.”And then: “We switched defenses every other time down the floor. You don’t expect sixth and seventh graders to be able to do that. We ran 52 different defens-es, some of them more than once. If you mess up on defense, I’ll take you right out, and that happened about four times.”The Ellis roster includes Kingston Hamilton, Will Hileman, Mason Walk-er, Hunter Hough, Mason Barnes and Bentley Carter.Erwin 38, Ellis 34James, a 6-1, 205-pound sixth grader, went off for 16 points, but the Jaguars’ poor free-throwing shooting came back to bite them at Erwin on Jan. 18. Ellis went 5 of 17 from the charity stripe. “It was a good game,” Dinkins said. “It could have gone either way. I’m still trying to find the right five to put together on the floor.”James was almost half the offense for the Jags, who rallied to tie in the second half after trailing by eight. But they never could man-age to take a second-half lead. “Cam played well,” Din-kins said. “He basically carried us in the second half. We just could not get anybody else to score.”The other 18 points came from Crowley (5), Carter (3), Burchette (3), Wood (2), Hileman (2), Hough (2) and McLean (1). Ellis had no answer for one Erwin player. That kid had 26. “Every loose ball he got, and he was not a big kid,” Dinkins said. “He’s very athletic and can dribble extremely well. He attacked the basket very well.” mirah Summers (1) scored for the War Eagles, who fell to 2-7 with their fourth straight setback. Earlier in the week, Da-vie was missing one of its top players (Ratledge), dug an 18-3 hole in the first quar-ter and lost 44-25 to Phoenix Academy. The game was held at Atkins on Jan. 15. Davie climbed back to 24-13 in the second quarter, but the Firebirds blitzed Da-vie in the third and overcame Hernandez’s 15 points. Summers had six. Zari-yah Conner and Nicholson had two apiece. JV girls lose to Reynolds SHOP LOCAL DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024 ‑ B3 Guide Noah Lynk said he is making up for a lack of speckled trout on waters around Harkers Is- land by catching a lot of big grey trout. Noah Lynk of Harkers Island has been guiding fishermen near his home port for decades. He’s seen fish come and go, and over the past handful of years, he’s seen all the speckled trout go, replaced by gray trout and black drum.“I’ve only caught about a dozen nice specks over the past couple of years,” he said. “My trout fishing was phenomenal, then it wasn’t. It all changed 4 years ago.”On the other hand, Jerry Dilsaver of Oak Island said the speckled trout fishing in his part of North Carolina’s coast is as good as it’s ever been. A top inshore fisher-man who appears at a lot of angling seminars, Dilsaver said: “Any Tom, Dick and Harry can catch a limit of specks where I live. Our local fishermen have had a couple of years of incredi-ble speckled trout fishing. I’ve taken my bike and a couple of rods to a place on the island in the afternoon and caught a limit of fresh specks for dinner real eas-ily.”What makes the differ-ence? Geography and climate change, said Lynk, who runs Noah’s Ark Charters. He’s fishing relatively close to the beach, in water that’s more influenced by the At-lantic Ocean, and like a lot of anglers from Cape Look-out north, the specks he catches migrate north and south, as far up as Virginia and the mouth of the Ches-apeake Bay. Dilsaver’s trout west of Cape Fear – and most of the fish that live in coastal rivers and creeks between Cape Lookout and Cape Fear – are resident fish that change locations only to follow bait and changes in the weather and water sa-linity.“Anybody who doesn’t think there have been any changes is kidding them-selves,” Lynk said. “Right now, the water temperature is 10 to 12 degrees off. With this last southerly blow we had, the water temperature on the beach was 55 to 60 degrees; it should have been in the low 40s. The surfers aren’t even wearing gloves.”Lynk believes those mi-gratory specks that typical-ly hang around Cape Look-out, Atlantic Beach, the North River and Newport River marshes, are farther north, looking for water temperatures more to their liking. “All my buddies who are guiding up north around Manteo are killing them,” he said. “There are real-ly good numbers up there. The water temperature is right, and there are green-tailed shrimp coming out of the Chesapeake Bay. All the trawlers are catch-ing shrimp coming out of Chesapeake Bay and Dela-ware Bay.”Lynk said resident fish are still filling up the Neu- se, Trent, Pungo, Bay and Tar rivers, in great numbers because it’s been at least a half-dozen years since there’s been a significant cold-water/cold-stun fish kill during the winter.“Up here, we haven’t had any winter kills, but they just aren’t here to kill,” Lynk said. “In the fall, the (Cape Lookout) rock jetty used to look like a parking lot. Now, the most boats I’ve seen have been 10 to 12 – and they’re catching gray trout and black drum. I probably won’t run a single trip this winter to the rock jetties.“Four years ago – and I’ve got video to prove it, our specks went from great to nothing,” Lynk said.The N.C. Division of Marine Fishermen held scoping sessions for the public last year to get ideas for better managing speck-led trout. Dilsaver said the state is getting some feed-back from federal fisheries managers who are worried that too many fish are being caught off Virginia.“With the incredible fishing we’ve been having, it’s difficult to tell anybody that they need to lower the limit on trout,” he said.There has been a sil-ver lining in the speckled trout black cloud for Lynk. Whether or not it has to do with climate change and higher water temperatures, he’s running into plenty of big, gray trout and black drum. “We are getting big numbers of grays, and big fish, 6 to 8 pounds,” he said. “And the black drum are taking the place of speck-led trout. We’ve never had black drum like we’ve had the past 3-4 years. I’m go-ing to be running charters for grays and black drum all winter long.” Speckled trout fishery changing in NC *Annual Percentage Yield (APY) eective as of the publication date.

He worked his way down and got into the lineup and has been in some tough matches. It was cool to see him turn the corner. He’s like an overnight sensation. He’s been coming to club stuff since he was little - he’s been around forever - and he’s beat his head against the wall and not broken through. His body is developing, he’s getting his confidence and everything is coming togeth-er at the right time. We are real pumped for him.”Finishing second were freshman Stephen Jacobs (2-1 at 106), sophomore Tiaj Thao (2-1 at 126) and sophomore Elliott Gould (3-1 at 150). “Elliott’s a multi-sport athlete like Maddox; he’s not 100 percent wrestling year-round,” Stanley said. “He’s been around it forever but it’s not his only sport. But he is catching on really fast and he is catching fire at the right time. I mean, every time Elliott steps on the mat, he is better.”The third placers were junior Cayden Glass (4-1 at 120), junior Brett Foster (3-1 at 144), junior Christian Boswell (4-1 at 190) and senior Brysen Godbey (4-1 at 215). Godbey had a fluke loss to Ledford senior Mason Scott in the first round, but he responded by demolish-ing his next four opponents. One of his four pins came in a rematch with Scott in the consolation finals. “(Scott) caught Brysen and pinned him (in the first round),” Stanley said. “Bry-sen should have won the whole thing. He saw the guy again for third and pinned him in 30 seconds.” Sophomore Jamarius Pelote pounded out three Testa ... pins, went 4-2 and took fourth at 157 - not bad for a “backup.” Stanley has a beautiful mess at 157 and some other spots. “Jamarius placed higher in the tournament than our starter did,” he said. “It’s good problems, but it’s still problems. It’s a constant discussion now where de-cisions have to be made, and both guys are on the upswing. Jerred Alexander is wrestling better every week, and same thing with Jay. It’s hard decisions for our coaching staff, but that is the way we want it to be.”Braxton Hunter, Alex-ander and Jaden Conner all went 3-2. Luke Tehandon and Reid Nail went 2-2. The other top records on the team at this point were Godbey at 31-5, Foster 29-5, Davis 28-3, Glass 27-2, Thao 26-4, Ryder Strickland 26-5, Gould 20-7, Aidan Szewczyk 19-2, Boswell 19-10, Jacobs 18-5, Pelote 18-12 and Alexander 17-13. Davie 74, Parkland 6In a home Central Pied-mont Conference match on Jan. 18, the War Eagles slapped Parkland with eight pins and raised their records to 17-1 overall and 6-0 in the league. The pinners were Foster (144), Alexander (157), Creason (165), Testa (175), Boswell (190), Godbey (215), Strickland (285) and Jacobs (106). Thao and Gould had major decisions. Parkland forfeited three weight classes. Women’s MatchKiera Hinson and Jackie Clare put up first-period pins as the Davie girls blanked Parkland 42-0. The Mus-tangs forfeited at 114, 120, 126, 132 and 185. “Kiera is just figuring out wrestling and she’s doing good,” Stanley said. “She’s finally getting a couple shots that she trust and learning how to move around on the mat.“Jackie is gritty, she’s curious and trying to figure it out. They’re learning what pace they need to run at in the practice room. They want some results, they are figuring out that comes from the practice room and they are ramping that up.” Stakely, volleyball team win NCCAA title The Grace College volleyball team’s 24-11 season in 2023 had a Davie County connection. McKenzie Stakely was a junior defensive specialist for a team that captured the National Christian College Athletic Association championship in Point Lookout, Mo., on Dec. 2. The Lancers went 5-0 in the tournament and took 15 of 17 sets, including a 3-1 victory over Mid-America Christian University in the final. After going 10-23 in 2022, the Lancers enjoyed their most wins since 2014 despite only having one senior. Stakely had 13 digs and three assists in the final after contributing 21 digs and two assists in the semifinals. For the season, the 2021 Davie graduate was third on the team in digs (347), fourth in assists (49) and fifth in ace serves (23). “I love the fact that Grace (Winona Lake, Ind.) is a Christian college and all the classes are taught with a Biblical worldview,” Stakely said.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024 - B5 The Davie boys swim team swept every event in a meet against East Forsyth and Glenn at the Davie YMCA on Jan. 12. Zach Hirata won two events as Davie scored 158 points to East’s 15 and Glenn’s 10. Hirata’s individual dom-inance came in the 200 IM (2:07.46) and the 100 butterfly (1:01.04). Get-ting one win each were Ethan Diemer (200 free at 2:21.84), Aiden Davis (50 free at 24.33), Bryce Harns-berger (100 free at 56.00), Logan Zuleger (500 free at 6:21.77), Hayden Key (100 back at 1:20.77) and Earn-hardt Harris (100 breast at 1:11.14). The first-place relays teams were Davis, Zuleger, Hirata and Harnsberger in the 200 medley (1:57.61); Alex York, Xaiden Groff, Key and Zuleger in the 200 free (1:51.04); and Hirata, Harnsberger, Davis and Har-ris in the 400 free (4:12.85). •••The Davie girls, who claimed 10 of 11 events, did similar damage while piling up 146 points. East had 58 and Glenn 26. The top individual was Logan White, who won the 200 free at 2:19.21 and the 100 breast at 1:14.33.

After watching its spir-ited rally fall short in the opener, the Ellis JV girls basketball team dominated throughout in a 41-19 win at Erwin. In the opener against visiting China Grove on Jan. 16, the Jaguars wiped out an 8-2 deficit and ended the third in an 8-8 deadlock. But the Red Devils weathered the storm and walked off as 18-10 winners. Annabelle Wright (4 points, 6 rebounds), Kar-ah Shore (2 points), Kins-ley Harbour (2 points, 3 steals) and Jordyn Warren (2 points, 6 rebounds, 5 steals) gave the Jaguars a chance. “They were scared and nervous in their first time playing in front of a B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024 big crowd,” coach Roger Blalock said. The roster includes Elly-ana Holbrook, Zoey Harpe, Katie Lou Cornatzer, Na-talie Hernandez, Miranda Sapp and Neriyah Johnson. Ellis 41, Erwin 19Two days later, the Jag-uars redeemed themselves on the road. They weren’t satisfied with a nine-point halftime lead, outscoring the Eagles 13-0 in the third behind Shore’s eight-point outburst. “This was all about the press,” Blalock said. “The press messed them up. We don’t have a whole lot of offense, but our defense makes our offense a whole lot better.”Shore was the headliner with 17 points and six steals. She got help from War-ren (6 points), Harbour (4 points, 8 steals, 4 rebounds, 3 assists), Sapp (4 points, 3 steals), Wright (4 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks), Hol-brook (3 points, 4 steals, 2 assists), Harpe (2 points), Johnson (1 point) and Cor-natzer (4 steals). “Jordyn and Annabelle are our two bigs,” Blalock said. “They dominate the glass and they are great on defense.”This week, though, could determine a lot about the di-rectionof the season. “I think we will be alright,” he said. “But we play West Rowan and Mooresville this week, so we will find out who we really are.” SD 23, NR 16Although South Davie was down 10-7 at halftime, Kady Joyce and the Tigers went to work in the second half and won going away against visiting North Row-an on Jan. 17. “It was rough (at the start of the third),” coach Julie Snow said. “We called a timeout two minutes in and really got on them. It worked.”South went on a 9-2 run in the third and the Maver-icks did not recover. Joyce was the catalyst with 11 points. Shania Brown had four, while Karileigh Mun-day, Ashley Cockerham, Kileigh Lynch and Kylie Edwards had two each. “Kady scored eight of her points in the second half,” Snow said. “The girls slowed down and ran the plays.” 1484 Hwy. 64 West, Mocksville, NC 336-751-3372 1328733 “Serving Davie County Since 1973” •Brakes • Tires • Batteries • Alignments • Scheduled Maintenance • Complete and Professional Auto Repair Hallie Head didn’t score, but she was still a big factor. “(Beth) Carter and I were really impressed with Hal-lie’s aggressiveness,” Snow said. “She has come in and really grown the past few weeks.”The win was especially nice since South was com-ing off a two-point loss in the opener. “Our attitudes are good and these girls really en-courage each other,” she said. “We are proud. We have zero middle school experience. Who knows what we’ll do this season.”CG 32, SD 10South got down 12-2 in the first quarter at China Grove on Jan. 18 and never threatened. Snow, though, could not fault the effort. “We walked in the locker room after the game, and all players were sitting in a circle, quietly waiting on us,” Snow said. “They want to learn. They might not understand the game of basketball, but they do know how to hustle. What more could you ask of them?”Head (four), Joyce (four) and Brown (two) had the points. Joyce and the ev-er-improving Head earned praise for their fight. “Our point guard, Kady, has never played basket-ball before and this team pressed,” Snow said. “Kady is probably the most athletic girl in the school. She is ag-gressive and plays awesome defense, but we are asking a lot of her as a newbie. “Hallie has made so much progress. She comes in and plays her role well.”Erwin 20, ND 16Camila Sa’ turned in 10 points, but it wasn’t enough in North Davie’s home loss on Jan. 16. The Wildcats faced an 18-11 deficit at the end of the third but did cut into the margin in the fourth before running out of time. Bella Barnette, Mallory Blackwelder and Khia Bo-hannon had two points each. ND 9, NR 2It was un-pretty offen-sively, but the Wildcats were able to put together enough offense to win comfortably at North Rowan on Jan. 18. Sa’ had four points. Bar-nette and Madison Stanley had two apiece, and Emma Phommavan had one as North improved to 2-2.

After years of serving as a Director of Christian Education, he took what he thought would be a temporary hiatus from ministry in 2016. To fill his time, he performed small painting and home improvement projects for friends and acquain-tances, all the while believing he would re-enter the ministry field. He acquired painting, repair, and car-pentry skills while growing up on farms in Stanly and Montgomery counties. “As I considered going back into ministry, I contin-ued to add home improvement project requests to my schedule. I was beginning to book out for months into the future. My wife and I prayed about what direction to take, and realized this line of work is also a form of ministry,” said John. “So, I decided to officially name and register my business and focus on full-time paint-ing and home improvement work.” John continues, “Our homes are where we make memories and where we feel safe and at peace at the end of every day. Changing the paint color of a room, updating the flooring throughout a home, or under-taking a complete remodel of an outdated kitchen or bathroom can bring so much happiness and joy. “Individuals and families trust me to come into their lives to make repairs, upgrades, and improvements. I have become good friends with many of my clients over the years, as we have spent time talking and sharing stories with one another while I worked on their home or business,” said John. Having a master’s degree in counseling from seminary, many of John’s clients find him approachable and easy to talk to, in addition to being pleased with his quality of work. “The majority of the project requests I receive are from client referrals or from repeat clients. Someone will often call me after having been given my informa-tion by a friend or family member, who is an existing client of mine. Or I will hear from a client who I did work for several years prior, and they are ready to tackle a new area of their home, like replacing kitch-en cabinetry or changing their exterior paint color. I am honored that my clients trust me in these ways. Strong relationships with clients have been one of the main factors of my business’s success,” said John. One of John’s clients, Robin V., had this to say about her experience working with him in 2023: “John has completed multiple renovations at my home. I am so pleased with his work. He takes care of every detail from start to finish and cleans up after the job is done. Dependable, trustworthy, respectful, an all-around good person. I am looking forward to future projects with John.” While much of the work John does is extensive, like complete room remodels, full interior and exterior painting projects, or adding or repairing a deck, other projects can be smaller scale, like building shelving in a closet, changing fixtures throughout a home, pres-sure washing, or securing a railing to a small stair-case. “I specialize in small projects,” said John.
