They are the most important work.” At Smart Start of Davie County, this is evident through a growing program called Ka-leidoscope. Kaleidoscope started during the summer of 2022, after weekly story times be-came popular, and caregivers shared that they were looking for ways to help their children grow. From growing social skills to academic skills, care-givers and children were look-ing for a place to gather and learn with other families.

Through his charity Pit Stops for Hope, I have received support to facilitate better learning outcomes in my classroom (Shady Grove Elementary fifth grade). This has been flexible seating, STEM materials, books, and so much more. Just this summer Pit Stops for Hope organized a mas-sive Teacher Resource Giveaway. Ray's only goal was to get these materials into the hands of teachers. Ray has passionately chased any opportunity to make an impact on the success of children in the classroom. If elected to the Board of Education, that passion and impact can reach even further. We now have an amazing oppor-tunity to elect an official who has always made supporting teachers and students his number one priority.Maggie Caldwell Advance Ray Wright already making an impact Early Davie Family RecordsBy Marie CraigFather, Mother, Children, and they all lived happily ever after. Throughout time, there have been examples of this happy combination not working. Just as there are broken homes, adoptions, divorces, early deaths, and low income that we recognize now, the same problems have existed for families in all times. There are two sets of county records that shed light on family situations in the early history of Davie County. When Doris Frye was director of the Martin-Wall Histo-ry Room at Davie County Public Library, she had a good friend, Grace Wight, who worked at the North Carolina Archives. When Grace found an obscure set of Davie re-cords, she would transcribe them and send them to Doris. Some of these are in the publication Davie Dossier that the Davie County Historical and Genealogical Society pro-duces quarterly. They are also on the Davie GenWeb site, https://ncgenweb.us/davie/records. Scroll down to Court Records, and you will find links to Guardian Accounts, and also Apprentice Bonds.The oldest set, Apprentice Bonds, covers 1829-1859. Before the development of the various social programs devised by the Federal and State government, the counties had to provide for the care of orphans. Sometimes parents could not support their families. Children were consid-ered orphans when the father died even if the mother was still living. In this set of records, training for a future vo-cation was listed. This is an example of an apprenticeship:Date of Indenture: 29 Aug. 1837; Name: George Lap-ish, orphan; Bound to: Wiley M. Lowery until 21; To learn: Hatmaker, read, write, sypher [cypher] to rule three; Given at freedom: suit worth $30.00 and fifty dollars’ worth of tools; Signed: Wiley M. Lowery; E. Brock; Wit: Jno. ClementThe age of 21 was standard for young men; 18 for young women. Hatmaker [we’ll research to see if that’s what he did later]; cypher to rule three means the student could fig-ure out math proportions. If you have three numbers, can you figure out the fourth? Example: 5 apples cost $1; what would 4 apples cost? An online inflation finder shows that $30 in 1837 would be equivalent to $820.72 in 2023. As-signment to you: use the cypher to rule three to calculate the 2023 value of $50. In researching George Lapish, I found his obituary on FindAGrave which states that his father was from England and went back there leaving the rest of the family here in Davie. The dates on George’s tombstone are 1820-1900. This would have made him about 17 in 1837, the correct age for someone needing to learn a trade. However, in the 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1900 US Census records for Calahaln township, I learned that he was a blacksmith. Ev-idently, hat making did not appeal to him. [But there was “Well, that’s interesting…”Sure enough, he arrived that night after dark, slender, but not skinny, battle-scarred, and not exactly timid, but definitely cautious. He skirted the edges of the porch, nei-ther approaching, nor running away. One ear drooped as if it had been in one or two battles too many, and a scratch ran down his nose. More scars were hidden beneath the dull fur of his gray coat.It was clear he’d once been a pet, but many rough miles separated the cat he once was from the cat he was today. Like the house, the cat had been deserted for several years. Both bore the marks of disuse, the scars of desertion, the beginnings of decay that spoke of emptiness. Both could be saved, redeemed, restored with time, effort, and love.Turned out, Buddy was the easier victory. He was smart, savvy, a cat who had figured out how to survive. We’ll never know his entire story, but we can piece togeth-er large chunks of his life. First, he was a family cat, well-fed, well-pampered, well-loved. Then life happened as it is wont to do. The house stood empty for several years, and Buddy took to the woods to eke out a personal sur-vival plan. His battle scars indicate he was willing to fight to sur-vive. Who knows what challenges he faced? Certainly other cats, but probably raccoons and other small mam-mals vied with him for available food. Probably, in his wanderings, he slunk onto other porches where fat, sassy pets had more food than they needed, and Buddy, in con-cern for their health and well-being, alleviated them of some of their kibble.Being a shrewd cat, Buddy made his new family work for his affection. After all, like Thomas Paine once said, “What we obtain too cheaply we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value.” Buddy was a well-read cat. He knew if he made them work for his devotion, they’d appreciate it more. They bought him bowls of food and water, a soft bed and his own little house, and left them on the porch for him to enjoy. They marveled at how much he could eat and laughed at his affinity for washing all four feet in the water bowl, perhaps a learned trait from his friends, the raccoons. They sat statue-still with outstretched hands of-fering treats, begging him to accept them. Little by little he moved closer until he had them convinced that they would be the luckiest people in the entire world if he would be-friend them. Only then, only then did he capitulate, allow-ing them to tickle his chin, to scratch behind his ears, and eventually to pat long strokes down his back.Soon Buddy was happily purring, snuggled on their laps or making spicy biscuits on their legs. They’d realize they were losing large chunks of their days, catering to this little dictator who had taken over their hearts, and, in the way of cats, had convinced them of the magnificent gift he had bestowed upon them. He made his way into their house and cowed their dogs, sending them off into an adjacent room so he could relax on comfy couch cushions, curled up in a fuzzy blanket.And yet, his years alone, foraging in the woods and neighborhood for food, fighting for his place in the world, and probably terrorizing house pets, had changed him. No longer could he be merely a house pet; he had a kingdom to run. So, once the humans were ready for bed, he’d re-turn to the outdoors to patrol his watch. Never fear, friends and neighbors, Buddy’s in charge, and the neighborhood watch has never been in better hands, or paws, should I say.We’ll never know the full details of Buddy’s story, but I have no doubt, he’s not finished writing it. a hat factory in our county that made hats for the Confed-erate soldiers.]Apprenticeships were used for affluent young people also. Immigrants sometimes were bound to a sponsor for many years until they learned a trade.The second set of records was named Guardianship Re-cords. The range that we can access are February 1847 to December 1859. Guardians were appointed to be responsi-ble for orphans. They could also be children of living par-ents when the children were receiving money from estates — or other sources — such as grandparents. This is an example of a guardianship from the list:February term court - 1850: Nelson Trivillion guard-ian for Henry M. Austin; other names mentioned: Samuel Taylor JP [Justice of the Peace], G.W. Johnson JP. In the 1850 US Census, we find Henry M. Austin, 13, living in the household of Nelson Trivillion and his own five children. No mother is included. Nelson, 52, is a farmer originally from Virginia. His worth is $1500 which would match $55,833 now.Since these records are not indexed, you can do a Glob-al Search [Control+F] to quickly determine if your relative is included.If you are searching before 1836, you’ll need to re-search the Rowan County Court Records.Perhaps you’ll find one of your relatives in one of these two types of court records. Rose Colored GlassesBy Gaye HootsI have been accused of wearing rose-colored glasses many times in my life by friends, colleagues, my children, and my grandchildren. I look for and see the best in others most of the time. My boundaries are firm, but I give others the benefit of the doubt. This has cost my family and me dearly in the past, and I am more wary now, but I have been fortunate in many ways.There is a theory of a self-fulfilling prophecy, the belief that you will find what you look for. While I have been wrong at times, I have also been grateful for giving others the benefit of the doubt. This is especially true of young people I have worked with. Many who initially appeared to have a bad attitude lived with situations that accounted for their outlook on life.The public, in general, are hardworking, trustworthy folks. I need to be more careful and frequently hand a ca-shier money without putting my reading glasses on. I have also left my wallet and, on occasion, envelopes of cash by the register or on my café table. These have always been found and returned, and often, I am handed extra bills I did not realize I had handed to a cashier.I have yet to be swindled or asked for a loan that wasn’t repaid. I have had many positive experiences with kids I trusted, working hard to earn that trust. I am aware of what goes on in the world, and I don’t pick up hitchhikers, but I have in the past and never regretted it.The news is filled with horrendous accounts of world-wide atrocities, and while the only newspaper I read is the Enterprise, I do scan headlines on the internet. Some of these prompt me to pray for situations, but I do not al-low negative thoughts to spoil my day. I sip my coffee and browse Facebook to see friends celebrating happy occa-sions or asking for prayers to deal with difficult situations and share their experiences.I can see the scenery out my window: the sun is shin-ing, birds are feeding at the feeder, I am warm, too well fed, and in no pain. I have lost my siblings this year and grieve them, but none of my immediate family are in cri-sis, and most of my friends are in similar circumstances. I thank God for this and plan to celebrate this beautiful day he has given me and to remember that he loves each of His children no matter who, where they are, or what they are doing. Everyone Has a Story: BuddyBy Julie Terry Cartner“Oh, and you might have inherited a cat,” the realtor said in a rush when she dropped the keys into their hands.“Wait, what?” was the reply.“His name is Buddy,” she called through her open win-dow, as she put her car in drive and pulled out of the drive-away. Get ready, folks. This month is going to be a doozy.It’s a leap year, meaning there will be 29 days in Feb-ruary, an extra day that happens about every four years. It’s designed to keep our calender basically matching our rotation around the sun. At least that’s what people way smarter than me say.But be careful what you read about these leap years, especially on an internet search. Since this newspaper is published on Thursdays, I thought I would search the in-ternet to see the last year there were five Thursdays in a February, as there will be this year.It was 1996. There’s a way to mathematically get that answer, but I couldn’t figure it out.But along the way, I found out some pretty interesting customs and beliefs associated with Feb. 29, that extra day we get this year.Since I work on a salary, shouldn’t I be compensated for one extra day of work this year? I think so. There’s probably a lawyer out there who would argue this on my behalf.If someone was serving a one-year prison sentence, shouldn’t they be let out a day early? It would make sense, but this one doesn’t matter. It seems that just about all pris-oners get out too early.Yes, we’ve got an extra day this year. Let’s hope we all make the best of it.- Mike Barnhardt Leap year questions DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024 - 3 By KC Smith The likelihood of Coolee-mee’s pool being demolished in the near future is a real threat to me and others who have a strong passion to save it.A motivated small group met and discussed essential topics pertinent to draw up a realistic plan for Cooleemee’s town board to broaden their understanding of why it’s important to save the pool.Economics are the top con-cern. Not making enough reve-nue to meet operational expenses will put us at risk. And yes, it needs upgrading and repairs.To preserve our historic pool is to restore a moment in time. Preserving this pool will become the livelihood of the town and anchor us in a long history.Many of us watched our beau- tiful school go up in smoke when no one on the education board thought it was worth saving or was too expensive to renovate. A major loss to this town and I still get tears in my eyes when I think about it.Our downtown was demol-ished for what reason I don’t know. That downtown was what made Cooleemee seem like a gated community without a gate. We had everything we needed and didn’t have to leave town to get it; drugstore, movie theater, mercantile store, doctor, beauty shop and more. What a shame it’s all gone.The old school on Watt Street is gone. The church on Duke Street burned down. The hotel by the river is gone. Not to forget the largest structure that we still mourn over, our beautiful cotton mill.Thank goodness the old Cool- Guest Editorial Preserve the pool and other old Cooleemee structures eemee Journal building, that used to be behind the school while being used as canning processes, was bought by someone who loves Cooleemee and respects our historical heritage. He plans to refurbish the building so it can shine once again.What do we have left? The cook shack, African American school, Zachary House, which was our recreation center for years, the old police station and our pool and bath house.I was too young or didn’t think I had a voice in any of the decisions that stripped our sweet town of its heritage in the past.But, when it comes to what structures we have left, I’ll do everything in my power to see they are preserved.We have a lot of work ahead of us but we are willing to get started and do our very best to bring back the livelihood to our town.Our goal is to reach the needs of our community, to draw in surrounding areas, to develop programs for seniors and handi-cap needs, provide social gatherings to strengthen our community, save lives with swim lessons, swim clubs and and many more reasons.If our effort in this project isn’t enough to stop the demoli-tion, at least we can say we tried.Any passionate supporters who would like to take part in our efforts to save the pool send a text to KC Smith 336.250.1133.KC Smith, a former Coolee-mee Town Board member and wife of current Mayor Jeff Smith, is a regular contributor of area news to the Enterprise Record.

This will be beneficial for customers in the marine, renewables, e-mobility and land trans-port markets seeking the strength, durability, flexi-bility and lightweighting that structural adhesives and gelcoats offer.“With the plant fully op-erational we can now pro-duce our range of structural adhesives and gelcoats in the U.S - allowing us to sig-nificantly increase capacity globally and locally,” says Scott Bader’s CEO, Kevin Matthews. “Shorter lead times for our North Amer-ican customers is good news, especially with the impact of global supply chain issues being experi-enced worldwide.”Scott Bader has been ramping up activities in North America since 2022 - first acquiring the industrial unit on North Carolina’s Southpoint Business Park off US 601 North and then injecting a further $1.5 mil-lion into Scott Bader ATC, Canada. This enabled the facility to start production of its Crestabond structural adhesives for North Ameri-can customers, for the first time, while transformation of the new Mocksville fa-cility got under way.The Crestabond range has particular appeal as it allows for a primer-less ap-plication, meaning it can be used for almost any method of assembly with minimal preparation. Ideal for the bonding of composites, metals and thermoplas-tics, it is designed to meet the structural and environ-mental requirements of the most demanding producers.Through wider supply chain collaboration, the group is also advancing the “lightweighting” of com-posite and adhesive mate-rials to enable customers to drive energy efficiency and lower carbon transpor-tation.

He’s a Hall of Famer first steps to plan the race in the fall. The board splits into committees such as lo-gistics or food and fum.However, one of the most important jobs is to reach business owners to acquire sponsorships for the 5K. It is this aspect that makes the process sustain-able, giving the board the annual opportunity to host a grant cycle that has giv-en more than $100,000 in grants to the community.The vice president of the board, Silas Marion, received a grant of $3,500 last year, used to purchase a new professional grade trombone for the Davie High Band program. “I love how this grant allows the students in the band program to thrive and reach their highest musical potential,” says Marion. Another grant from last year was carried out by So-phia Brady, who was giv-en $928 to make no-sew blankets to be distributed to children through the Drag- onfly House. But grants would not be possible without communi-ty involvement in the 5K. Register for the POPSI-CLE 5K on Feb. 24 to sup-port projects like distribut-ing blankets or purchasing a new trombone and make youth helping youth possi-ble one grant at a time.

Aromatic whiffs of sweet, baked confections lured me to the kitchen. A chef and his assistants were busy preparing a sub-stantial breakfast that included fresh homemade biscuits filled with sausage and ham along with a delicious, moist, sweet bread pudding. And if that didn’t whet your appetite, how about savory eggs benedict and a fresh raspberry and blackberry tart? And I won’t neglect to mention the sweet, glazed, freshly baked, Krispy Kreme doughnuts – all washed down with a few swallows of fresh juice or piping hot coffee. What would an early morning gulp of steamy java be without soft, warm, sweet pastry to enjoy with it? However, the start to this day was no continental breakfast of just coffee and doughnuts but more like a Wheaties moment – a breakfast for champions. Hosting the event, Veterans Cup Coffee aims toward bridging generations of veterans “one cup at a time.” The get-togethers are held on Thursday mornings at the new Veterans View Intake Center (VVIC) at the former Autumn Care location on Howard Street in Mocksville. Sandy Czuba, Regent, and oth-er members of the Elizabeth Max-well Steele Chapter of the Daugh-ters of the American Revolution (DAR) greeted the servicemen at the inaugural weekly veteran so-cial. Mama always said that the best way to get past your troubles was to get out and do something nice for someone else. When I was a teen, she’d tell me to get my mind off myself and think about other people – there were always many who were worse off than I was. Mama knew that because she was a good egg – always serving, working at the church, preparing food, and spreading kindness. As usual – Mama hit the nail on the head. You can’t fo-cus on your woes if you’re out helping someone else with theirs. And when you discover your calling – that place where you belong – it’s amazing how all of a sudden, the service truly does make you feel so much better. And you know it’s our way in the South that when we’re doing something nice for someone – often it in-volves the preparing and delivering of home-cooked meals. But you’re not just serving food – you’re serving people. Service to others begins with caring – and good care promotes healing. And before you know it, the work has become a bless-ing to you – like the sugar in your cake or the sweet syr-up on your pancake. It’s true – people who work to help others – we all come together to serve one another for the greater good. And as things turned out – it was good for us, too. Mama was right.

Heat and oil griddle lightly. For each pancake, pour ¼ cup onto griddle and cook 3-4 minutes until browned on underside. If too thick to spread, thin with small amount of milk. Turn pancakes over, and cook until browned on bottom. Makes about 10 griddle cakes. These have more cornmeal so if you want them sweeter, add more sugar.

Beat in vanilla and set aside. In another mixer bowl, beat Neufchatel cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add half the whipped cream to the cheese mixture and gently fold together. Add the rest of the whipped cream and continue to fold until thoroughly combined and smooth. When ready to assem-ble, evenly spread the cheese mixture on top of the cookie crust to edges. Then top with fresh blackberries and rasp-berries so they’re touching, and dust with confectioner’s sugar.

Transfer to rack More than pastries for this veteran’s coffee DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s wrestling team has been so crazy dominant - its only hiccup all season was a 36-29 loss to West Rowan on Dec. 7 - that it’s impossible not to dream about its first state championship since 2006. In the first two rounds of the 4-A dual team playoffs, the War Eagles smashed two opponents with a sledgehammer and waltzed into the Jan. 31 quarterfinals/semi-finals at Hough. At 20-1 with 11 straight wins, Davie is sporting is finest record through 21 matches in six years. Before eliminating Myers Park and South Caldwell in the state playoffs, the War Eagles reclaimed the Central Piedmont Conference throne. They belted Glenn 69-9 in Kernersville on Jan. 24 to com-plete a 7-0 sweep through the con-ference. After finishing second the past two seasons, they outscored CPC rivals by an aggregate 504-49, won every match by at least 43 points and notched their 29th regular-season title in 39 years. Andy Davis, Brett Foster, El-liott Gould, Jerred Alexander, Maddox Creason, Christian Bo-swell, Brysen Godbey and Tiaj Thao pinned their opponents, Luke Tehandon won a decision, and the Bobcats forfeited to Hunter Testa, Ryder Strickland and Stephen Jacobs. Three days later at home, the War Eagles, the No. 1 seed in the West Region, hosted the first two rounds of the state duals. They flat-out embarrassed My-ers Park and S. Caldwell. The 83-0 and 70-3 margins, respectively, were especially impressive when you consider coach Josh Stanley inserted four backups after Davie had built insurmountable leads. All four - Gio Alcacio, Jack Bost, Leighton Reavis and Walker Mat-thews - were winners. In the first shellacking over No. 16 Myers Park, Davie matched its largest margin of victory (83 points) all season. With the match starting at 126, Thao pinned, Braxton Hunter got a forfeit and Davis rolled to a tech fall. Then came consecutive pins from Foster, Gould, Alexander and Creason. A forfeit to Testa at 175 made it 47-0 and clinched victory with six weight classes remaining. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record In a pivotal week that deter-mined whether the Davie girls bas-ketball team was going to remain in the upper tier of the Central Piedmont Conference or fade into a dark hole, there were moments when it looked dicey against both West Forsyth and East Forsyth last week. But you just can’t keep coach Lindsey Adams’ girls down. Get-ting heroic shots from Emmie Burris and Bailey Aderhold, the War Eagles pulled out two thrillers and made a statement that they plan on remaining relevant in the CPC race. On Jan. 5, Davie was 1-2 after a couple of regrettable showings. It entered this week having won four of five to take sole possession of third place. Reynolds and Mt. Tabor are 6-1 in the league, while Davie is 5-3. “I think this is the highest we’ve been after the first round of conference,” the fourth-year coach said. “The boys have the me-over- we mindset, and I think we will be where our boys are in the next year or max two years. Because if they’re stepping up like this as freshmen and making big plays, it’s only going to keep growing from here.“There’s no team that has gone through adversity like us after losing our senior point guard and leading scorer (Kenadi Gentry). I think everybody counted us out after we got murdered by Tabor and Reagan.”Davie 53, WF 47Malayka Rankin and Avarie Martin combined for 33 points and Burris delivered the shot of the season to date in a home win over archrival West Forsyth on Jan. 23. A packed-house crowd got to see Davie knock off an opponent that had won 17 of the previous 19 meetings. The Titans surged to a 21-14 lead, but a 3-pointer by Burris ignited an 18-3 run for the War Eagles. Londyn McDowell scored off an offensive rebound before By Brian PittsEnterprise Record With a packed house on hand against visiting West Forsyth, the Davie boys basketball team showed again it has several weap-ons that are capable of stealing the show at any given moment. Bryson Mickey, Jackson Powers, Coleman Lawhon and Ethan Ratledge made dazzling plays again and again and again during a record-setting 78-71 win on Jan. 23. It was a legendary night that saw the War Eagles do something they’d never done in their 68-year history - start 16-0 and win 16 straight games. The dream streak died two nights later at East Forsyth, but getting No. 16 before a sea of blissful fans was a heartwarming moment for the War Eagles. “God is good, man,” coach Josh Pittman said. “All the glory to God, all the glory to the guys for buying in and glory to the Davie County people for showing up for these boys and these girls. We’ve already got an amazing football culture, so we’re trying to get a basketball culture to go with it. And then have a sports culture in Davie County that can’t be matched.”Ratledge, whose expression barely changes no matter the situation, calmly scored eight of Davie’s first 10 points with an ar-ray of low-post moves. His 4-for-4 start included a give-and-go with Burris, Aderhold clutch in two wins for girls Please See Clutch - Page B5 Boys set record with 16-0 run his frontcourt sidekick. Ratledge passed to Powers, who gave it right back to Ratledge as he headed to the hole for two. Ratledge posted up, used a head fake to put his de-fender in the popcorn machine and scored as Davie took a 10-8 lead. “We knew they play with one big and we can’t stop what we do because of the way they play,” Pittman said. “We’re a good team, so we’re gonna make them adjust to how we play.”The crafty, savvy Mickey left everyone in awe, and not for the first time. With a defender draped on him late in the first quarter, he spun and swished a nasty, step-back 3 at the buzzer to give Davie a 21-13 lead. Davie played a spectacular first half, taking a 36-21 lead behind 11 points from Mickey and Ratledge and eight from Powers. In the third quarter, Mickey’s tear drop provided the largest lead of the game at 38-21. Not to be outdone, Lawhon hit a series of circus shots. With Davie breaking the fullcourt press, Law-hon made a wonderful touch pass to Elliott Erlandsson, who finished with a layup. Landon King passed it out to Lawhon, who drilled a 3. Davie had been in control all game, but it still had to work to stay ahead of the stubborn Titans, who made five straight field goals to get back in contention. With West’s student section yelling and screaming, Ethan Driver took an offensive rebound and found Lawhon in the left corner. The defender knocked Lawhon down but he made the 3 anyway, then completed the four-point play to push Davie’s lead to 53-41. After Lawhon hit a jumper from the left baseline, he made two dip-sy-do layups while getting fouled. The senior’s electrifying buckets created a 67-54 spread. The Davie crowd got tense when West (13-4) used a 7-0 run to climb within 67-61, but the steady-ing hand of Mickey kept the Titans at bay. Mickey’s driving and-one made it 70-61 with 2:04 to go. Mickey hit cold-blooded shots all night for a season-high 25 Please See Record - Page B4 Wrestlers cruise in first two rounds Please See Cruise - Page B3 The gym was going nuts last week.

B2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024 Catching up with ... Logan White (swimming)When you were growing up, what did you want to be? I always dreamt of being a professional cheerleader. I was active in the cheerleading community from second to eighth grade. My ultimate dream was to join the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in Texas. Reflecting on those days, it’s intriguing to see the transformation that high school had on me. My passions now are the complete opposite of what they used to be, and I only find activities like swimming and running truly enjoyable. The biggest pet peeve I have is when: People blame me for the frustrations they are having in a particular situation. The main thing that bothers me is that I can’t help them because it is out of my control. It not only hurts my feelings, but it also presents a challenge of how to respond without appearing rude or unkind. If I could have one super power, it would be: After careful consideration, I have settled on the ability of super speed. Despite it being basic, I see it as a superpower that comes with many benefits. Imagine the extra time you would have for tasks like cleaning, working out, work, school and many other tasks. With super speed, daily responsibilities could be accomplished in a fraction compared to the usual amount of time you have. One truly amazing thing would be that if an event so severe happened you could go back and fix it with a superpower like super speed.What’s the funniest moment in your sports career? Coach Chad’s decision to make the team do 30 sets of 50’s where you lose a second of rest every time you get back to the wall. While the number might not sound daunting, believe me, it was a huge ordeal. At the moment, I failed to see the humor in it, experiencing a minor breakdown because of the toll the 50s took on me. I reached a point where I physically couldn’t continue. Coach Chad realized my frustration and exhaustion. Reflecting on it now, it is a funny event between us, but an event I would prefer not to revisit.What’s the proudest moment in your sports career? Learning that it is over. For the longest time, I would get so hung up on my events, but I just recently learned how to move on. While I am not perfect, I have learned that the event is over and there’s nothing I can do about it now. Cheering for my other teammates is much more important than events that I can no longer change. If you could turn back time and witness one event, what would it be? The ability to turn back time is such a powerful tool that I’m so glad that we don’t have access to it. However, if granted the chance to turn back the clocks, I would love to see what my parents’ experiences in high school were actually like. They always know what to say when I am hurt by people or how the education I am receiving is nowhere as hard as what they had. Being able to see what they truly experienced and the similarities and differences to my high school experience would be fascinating. Exploring what their life looked like despite their opinion would be amazing to observe. Who is the funniest teammate? Typically, practice lanes consist of the same people, limiting my exposure to all of the sides of my teammates. However, if I were to pick one individual it would be Logan Zuleger. He always comes to practice with a smile and never fails to make the entire team laugh despite the situation. Which teammate is happiest after a win? Earnhardt Harris is an incredibly inspi-rational swimmer with remarkable talent and an unmatchable energy. His enthusiasm is quite contagious, especially after a stellar race he wins. The genuine excitement he has after a win is an infectious feeling when he cheers on the other swimmers in their events. Athletes I most admire: My inspiration may be considered unconventional but without a doubt, it is my teammates. While many would typically lean towards famous athletes that they admire the most, I believe the individuals I spend the most time with show me the most effort. Witnessing the dedication, sweat and tears my teammates invest in the sport is the most inspirational event I can admire. These teammates have such an impact on me and I am so thankful for how much they push me. Interesting fact about myself: I have a genuine passion for baking. The art of creating a depiction treat to see people enjoy is always amazing. Gift-giving brings me some of the best jobs. Allowing people to see that I care about them and they have a huge role in my life is something I always want to share. I tend to walk through life without tough skin. I can state that I know almost all the words to the very odd song “Slim Shady.” Lastly, I have a very large sock collection that has every holiday in it.What I like most about Davie High: Sadly, my high school experience did not occur at Davie County High School, but instead at Davie County Early College. However, one truth I can say about Davie High is the exceptional sports programs and dedicated coaches. Their unwavering support and kindness played such an impactful role in helping me navigate the challenges I faced at the Early College. If I could do one thing better, it would be: Comprehending the intentions behind others’ words has proven to be a challenging concept for me. I often find it difficult to fully grasp the intended meaning and I frequently misinterpret or overanalyze what is being said. I recognize that improving my ability to understand the emotions other people convey would contribute to my personal growth and make me a better individual overall. Person I’d most like to meet (dead or alive): I had the privilege of knowing this remarkable person during my lifetime, however, I wasn’t mature enough to fully ap-preciate and love him for who he was. My great-grandfather, also known as Big Daddy, has always been an inspiration for me. I never had the opportunity, though, to truly engage with him on a deeper level. The incredible stories and amazing characteristics of this man always keep me wondering what a deeper relationship would have been. I wish I would have been able to create a better connection with this extraordinary man. Fantasy job: Acting. I never thought I would have the confidence for this field of work. However, if presented with the chance, it would not only open unimaginable doors to the world of performance but also provide the unique opportunity to meet my favorite celebrities. I would finally be able to fully understand the personalities of my favorite characters. This job would offer so many doors most people don’t get to walk through. I can’t live without: My family. No matter the kind of day I had, I can always count on them to love and care about me. They have never failed to support or disappoint me. Post‑high school ambition: I aspire to discover the ideal job that perfectly fits my passions and aspirations. Currently, I find myself in a state of confusion and uncer-tainty about what I want to do with my future and what career path I want to go down. However, I anticipate the journey of exploration to see what field of work captures my interest. My ultimate goal is to secure a profession I not only love but will also be able to provide for the family I can’t wait to have. If you hit the lottery, what’s the first thing you’d do? The first thing I would do is buy my parents their dream gift. For my dad, it would be a red Mustang. My mom would get her very own beach house. These two people are the only reason I am so successful today. Without their constant support, forgiveness and patience, I would not be the person I am now. I love them both unconditionally and want to give back a fraction of what they have done for me. Senior Profile ACROSS 1. “Aw, man” in 1690 5. (K) The new bride said what? (2 words) 8.

The Davie girls finished fifth out of six as a team. Reagan had 361, West 266, Tabor 223, Reynolds 206, Davie 100 and East Forsyth 48. The Davie coaches were thrilled with the showing. “Congratulations to all of you for a fantastic meet,” coach Lance White said. “Your hard work through the season has really start-ed to come together, and it really showed at this cham-pionship meet. We had 39 personal bests, some over 20 seconds, with a cumulative time drop of a whopping 182.75 seconds. We are so proud of everyone for all the work you put in, trusting in the process and grinding when things got hard. We had a record number of swimmers placing top 12 to score in their individual events.”Harris has earned all-conference five times in his stellar career. As a soph-omore, he finished second in the butterfly. Last year, Har-ris, Davis and Harnsberger were on the 200 free relay team that placed second in the CPC. • Sports Briefs • Get the top Davie County sports stories in your inbox.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024 ‑ B3 If you didn’t like the in-crease in the prices of hunt-ing and fishing licenses that went into effect last sum-mer, get ready to be a little more unhappy.The N.C. Wildlife Re-sources Commission has proposed license-fee in-creases pretty much across the board, and it is asking the public for comments. A virtual hearing will be held on Feb. 8 at 2 p.m. Preregistration is required at www.ncwildlife.org. Here’s a handful of highlights to proposed li-cense fee increases:• statewide hunting goes from $25 to $30;• statewide fishing goes from $25 to $30;• big-game tags go from $14 to $17;• a recreational saltwa-ter license goes from $16 to $19;• a freshwater-saltwater combo fishing license goes from $41 to $49;• an annual Sportsman license goes from $53 to $63;• an annual Sportsman plus saltwater fishing goes from $69 to $82;• a combination hunting and freshwater fishing goes from $35 to $42;• bear tags go from $11 to $14;• a non-resident annual hunting license goes from $100 to $119.In addition, most of the popular lifetime licenses – fishing, hunting, sports-man – are also scheduled to rise by some pretty stout amounts.And remember, those are just the basic license costs; there’s a surcharge added at the cash register that pays the wildlife co- operator agent a little bit for his time, and there’s a surcharge added even when you buy the license directly from the commission.Typically, when the commission begins the rule-making process, changes, if approved, will take place on Aug. 1.Waterfowl seasonsWaterfowl seasons mostly closed on Jan. 31.Statewide duck and sea duck season ended on the last day of the month, along with Canada goose seasons in the northeast hunt zone, brant and the permit-only tundra swan season.Youth and veterans and members of the armed forces will have Feb. 3 and 10 to get a field for ducks, Dove season closes across North Carolina on Jan. 31, and the Yadkin Valley chapter of the Quail and Upland Wildlife Federation closed it with a bang: a youth-only hunt in Forsyth Coun- ty. geese, brant and tundra swan.Seasons for Canada geese in the resident popu-lation zone and light geese will remain open through Feb. 10.The seasons for dove and woodcock will also close on Jan. 31. Most small-game seasons will remain open through Feb-ruary.Marine fisheriesflounder symposiumThe N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries is hold-ing a Southern Flounder Symposium on March 20 in the Riverfront Conven-tion Center in New Bern to discuss various topics re-lated to the management of southern flounder in North Carolina waters – a topic that has drawn serious fire from recreational fisher-men over the past several years.The symposium, open to stakeholders and research-ers, will kick off at 9 a.m. License fee increases proposed 132 Interstate Drive Mocksville, NC 27028 (336) 753-8473 Hours: Mon. - Fri. 7:30 - 5:30 MockBerothTire.com 11 LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU!

By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Cam James had a vintage performance when the Ellis boys basketball team clob-bered West Rowan. Two days later, Jordan Crowley rescued the Jaguars with less than two seconds remaining when he sank the tying and game-winning points from the free-throw line against Mooresville. James’ eye-popping stat line in a 54-20 wipeout at West Rowan on Jan. 23 was 12 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. Yes, an un-heard-of triple-double for the big fella. “James was unreal,” coach Mike Dinkins said. “He would rebound it, we would throw it down the court and we were shooting layups. Cam has greatly improved since we first started.”Four days after a four-point loss to Erwin, the Jaguars came out blazing. Crowley dropped in 10 points during a 23-6 burst in the first quarter. Ellis scored 21 of 23 points in the second to extend the margin to 44-8, and Dinkins called off the dogs in the second half. Ellis’ top five scorers were sixth graders: Crowley with 12, Graham Wood with 8, Chance McLean with 6 and Hunter Hough with 6. Also scoring were Peyton Fishel (5), Bentley Carter (3) and Josiah Warren (2). “Our fullcourt and three-quarter traps worked,” Dinkins said. “We went from 25 turnovers (in the loss to Erwin) to 12, and that helped.”Ellis 32, Moor 31In a home game against Mooresville, the Jaguars pulled off a wild win in the final seconds. Crowley came out hot to stake Ellis to a 10-6 lead. It was 17-10 in Ellis’ favor at halftime, but the Jaguars lost their rhythm in the third. James’ foul trouble compounded matters. After averaging 10 points in the first three games, he spent most of the game on the bench and fouled out early in the fourth as he finished with three points. Ellis’ lead was reduced to 24-23 in the third. “We played awful for about 10 minutes and got behind,” Dinkins said. “We turned it over 18 times in the second half. Cam didn’t play but maybe three and a half minutes.”Ellis had a two-point lead with a minute left, but the Red Imps hit a 3-pointer with 14 seconds left (gasp). Down by one, Ellis called timeout to set up the final play. “I said: ‘OK, here’s what we’re going to do. Jordan, you’re going to catch the ball and dribble it all the way down the court. We’re going to run our little LA play with Peyton at the top. We’ll do the pick-and-roll. Jordan, if you can take it all the way to the rim, take it all the way to the rim,’” Dinkins said. As designed, Crowley got the ball. The whistle blew with 1.4 seconds to go. Crowley was headed to the line for two pressure-packed free throws. He made both to give his team an exhila-rating victory. Crowley made 7 of 8 foul shots in the game to finish with a season-high 14 points. It was his third double-figure game. Hough had 6, Fishel 4, Wood 3 and Ryan Richardson 2. Warren did not score, but he more than made up for that by pulling down 14 rebounds. Hough hit two 3s and “one of them was really big in the third because they had taken the lead and we got the lead back,” Dinkins said after Ellis pushed its record to 3-1. Selma 48, ND 35Selma Burke overpow-ered host North Davie in the first half and coasted to a win on Jan. 22. The halftime margin was 34-14. To the Wildcats’ credit, they did not quit. They rallied to within 10 with a minute remaining. “I’m proud of our team for battling back in the sec-ond half,” coach Trevor Gooch said after North fell to 3-2. “We missed a ton of layups off the offensive boards (in the first half). We had too many turnovers in the first half as well. Once we settled down in the sec-ond half, we outscored them 21-14.”Tannyr Carrier (10 points) produced double figures for the fourth straight game. Nathan Smith scored 10 and controlled 12 re-bounds for the second game in a row. Peyton Jordan had eight points, Wade Riden-hour five and Levi Morales two. “Tannyr did a good job driving to the basket and knocking down some jump shots,” Gooch said. “Nathan was a beast in the post.”Moor 50, SD 21South’s first loss in four games was a drubbing at Mooresville on Jan. 22. This game was already going to be a steep challenge, and the Tigers hurt themselves by missing 23 of 29 free throws. Jared Vaughters had 11 points, Dreighton Lunner-man 6 and Crosby Parker 4. Erwin 46, SD 45 (OT)One day later on the road, the Tigers had a heartbreak-ing loss in overtime. It was a game of runs. South outscored the Eagles 16-7 in the third to take a 31-23 lead. But Erwin coun-tered with a 16-8 charge in the fourth as regulation ended 39-39. South came up just short despite James Martin’s three 3-pointers and 15 points. Vaughters had 13, Lunner-man 8, Colson Dulin 6 and Kayden Young 3. Crowley delivers under pressure for Ellis boys B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024 Continued From Page B1points. He went 8 of 10 overall, 4-4 on 3s and 5-5 from the line. Powers was next with 17 points, seven rebounds, three blocks and two assists. Lawhon had 16 points and four rebounds before fouling out with 2:50 left. Ratledge (12 points) was the fourth guy in double figures. Last year the Titans staved off Davie by four and 10 points, but this time they walked into a hornet’s nest. “Last year when they pressed up, we kind of fold-ed, but I thought doing some little tricky stuff in practice helped us handle that jump-trap a lot better,” Pittman said. “We pretty much domi-nated the whole game. I was proud of the way the boys fought and maintained the whole game. “Coleman and Bryson played really big. They made big shots in the right moments when we need-ed them. Bryson plays so composed. You can’t rush him. He’s the perfect com-plement to Coleman in the backcourt. The way they played together is just good stuff. I told (Powers) you’ve got to man up, go up strong and enjoy it.”Erlandsson had four points. Driver (2 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists) was a beast on the boards. Adam Brown’s two points came on a fourth-quarter drive along the baseline in which he scored as he crashed to the floor. King contributed four rebounds, two assists and two steals. “Driver had at least five rebounds in the first quar-ter,” Pittman said. “Brad-dock Coleman and Landon King came in and played wonderful defense. We’re still playing 11 guys. I’m proud of them. They are buying in and they’re own the bench cheering.”EF 68, Davie 51Anything can happen in the CPC - Davie needed 51-percent shooting and a 37-point fourth to beat East by five in December - and the War Eagles hit a wall in Kernersville on Jan. 25. The final score is deceiv-ing. This was a back-and-forth battle until the fourth quarter, when the game went sideways on Davie. When it was over, the East students stormed the court. “We forced some shots, but I can’t be upset with them,” Pittman said. “I felt like they competed, espe-cially coming off an emo-tional high like (the West game). I mean, Tuesday was a huge game. East had a week of rest and a week to prepare. It was just one of those perfect-storm type deals.”When King buried a 3 from the top of the key, Davie had a 45-44 lead with 7:44 left. But East went on a big run soon after that and wound up outscoring Davie 24-9 in the final eight minutes. Davie had one of those nights, shooting 38 percent from the floor, going 7-15 from the foul line and committing 13 turnovers to East’s six. East, on the other hand, hit 50 percent of its field goals. Lawhon (17 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists) was the only starter who produced at a normal level. Mickey had 11 points. Powers had seven points and 10 rebounds. Rat-ledge had 5 points, Driver 4, King 3, Erlandsson 2 and Brown 2. Driver also had 6 boards. “We maintained defen-sively until four or five minutes to go,” Pittman said. “We were only down three. We just could not get that run going and get the momentum going. I thought we were on our way when we took the lead (on King’s 3). It just wasn’t our night and that happens. I’ll take that once out of 17 games.”Davie 81, Glenn 51Despite playing a third game in five days, the War Eagles rediscovered their mojo at the opening tip at Glenn on Jan. 27. Even though Glenn beat Reynolds by 13 and only lost to West and Reagan by two and three points, Davie ran the Bobcats out of the gym.“They played Reagan down to the wire (the night before),” Pittman said. “I told the guys this could eas- ily be a trap game if we’re not locked in and still wor-ried about (the loss to East). But they were ready. On the bus ride over, everybody seemed to be focused on what we had to do.”In the first half, when the margin reached 42-13 by halftime, Davie shot a torrid 58 percent (17 of 29). Ratledge and Powers were a combined 7 for 8 in the half. By contrast, the Bobcats, who missed five shots on one possession, went 4 of 22 for 18 percent. “This was one of our bet-ter games from the jump,” Pittman said. “It was the third game of the week for both teams, so it was pretty much going to be the team that was in better shape and just ready to play.”Davie’s points came from 13 players: Ratledge 12, Erlandsson 12, Powers 10, Lawhon 9, Mickey 7, Cam Owens 6, King 6, Isaac Swisher 5, Driver 4, Brown 4, CJ Phelps 2, Landon Waller 2, Gavin Williams 2. Erlandsson (5 for 5) hit ev-ery shot he tried and Mickey handed out five assists. “It was a good opportu-nity to let everybody play,” Pittman said. “Landon and Adam played really well. They just continued their progress.” Notes: Davie and Mt. Tabor are tied for first at 7-1. West is third at 5-2. Davie and Tabor meet here Friday in a blockbuster matchup. “Our goals are intact,” Pit-tman said. “We’ve got a shot at a conference title. Everything is right in front of us.” ...

Burris snatched a rebound and pushed the ball all the way to the other end before kick-ing it out to Aderhold, who nailed a 3 to give Davie its largest lead of the game, 32-24. West would respond with seven unanswered, but Da-vie took off again, with Martin scoring on a drive and off a pass from Burris. When Rankin sank a triple, Davie was up 41-34. “Their game plan was to take out our shooters (Aderhold and Madison Daugherty),” Adams said. “They were face-guarding both shooters all night. They wanted Malayka, Peyton (Spaugh) and Emmie to drive into their bigs. But with this team it’s somebody different every night. So even if they have a game plan to take somebody out, it is next man up. “They were not worried about Avarie and she made them pay. I told my girls who were getting face-guarded that you cannot just stand there and do nothing. I un-derstand it is tiring but they cannot keep face-guard-ing you for four quarters; they will be gassed. That’s when Bailey hit that 3 in the third quarter and Malayka stepped up and hit 3. Avarie hit two 3-pointers and they just expected her to drive. Bailey has been hot for us, and keeping her on the court was a decoy for everything else to open up.”West, though, put togeth-er an 11-3 spurt by hitting four consecutive shots. A game that Davie was in control of was suddenly in doubt with the visitors ahead 45-44 with time running out. That’s when Burris stole the spotlight. The freshman got the ball at the top of the key. She faced the goal and dribbled to her right. She didn’t find an opening there, so she crossed over to her left and pounded the ball onto the floor three times as she drove. She convert-ed an up-and-under layup Clutch ... while getting fouled. She also made the free throw to provide a 47-45 lead at :40. “I just took it to the rim and got the and-one,” the low-key Burris said. “It felt good - really good.”The shot sent fans into a frenzy. “I said: ‘Be patient. There’s 50 seconds left, we’re good. Have confi-dence, don’t force anything and take what they give you,’” Adams said. “I think they were more concerned with Malayka. They were still face-guarding Madison and Bailey, which left Em-mie open for the drive. For a freshman to have the con-fidence to do that ... I don’t know how she makes them. She does that all the time in practice. She goes left and does this little right-hand shot on the left side.”Davie’s fullcourt trap-ping defense took care of the rest. After Davie got a defensive stop, Rankin was fouled and hit both free throws to make it 49-45. Da-vie trapped in the backcourt and Daugherty stole a pass. West (8-7, 3-4 CPC) fouled Rankin and again she made both to wrap it up. “We were outmatched in the paint,” Adams said. “I knew they could beat us inside, so we had to press up. I scouted what their press-breakers were in mul-tiple games, so we adjusted our press specifically for their press-breaker. When they called a timeout, I think they expected us to go to a diamond (press) because we had not run fullcourt man the entire time. So I changed to a fullcourt man and jump-trap, and that got us the last stop. The girls were able to adjust on the fly.”Rankin (18 points, 5 rebounds) converted 9 of 10 foul shots. Martin (15 points) came through with her biggest scoring night in 14 games and blocked two shots. Aderhold went 4-4 at the line to score seven. Burris collected six points, four assists, three rebounds and three steals. McDowell had five points and four rebounds. Spaugh had one point, five rebounds and three assists. Vivian Vaugh-ters had one point. “Londyn was sitting the bench the last couple of games because we needed speed, but when her num-ber was called tonight, she stepped up and got big stops and big rebounds,” Adams said. Davie 60, EF 54Another display of toughness allowed Davie to escape Kernersville with a hard-fought CPC win on Jan. 25. It was 23-22 Davie be-fore the War Eagles threat-ened to win in a blowout. Daugherty and Spaugh drained 3s. A trap in the backcourt led to a Rankin steal/layup. Spaugh grabbed an offensive rebound and fed Aderhold, who made a 3 to give the visitors a commanding 42-24 lead in the third quarter. Earlier in the game, Aderhold showed off her range by drilling one from NBA 3-point territory. “I don’t ever see (Ader-hold) shooting that deep in practice, but once she gets her confidence ...,” Adams said. “Teams this second go-round are going to try to get our shooters off the 3-point line, so we’re going to have to extend our range if we want to be able to get our 3s off.”After Davie went up by 18, East rallied to inject dra-ma into the fourth. It made four 3s, went on a stunning 30-11 run and Davie found itself trailing 54-53. Just when it looked like it might slip away, Aderhold restored order. She took a pass from Burris and hit a perfectly-timed 3 that put Davie in front 56-54. Davie was 2 for 16 from deep in the second half before Ader-hold’s successful bomb. “That’s definitely what we needed,” Adams said. “I was kind of scared when she shot it. I know Bailey had hit three (3s) already, but we had been missing a bunch before that. After she hit that 3, I called timeout and told them in the huddle: ‘OK, we don’t need any more 3s. I appreciate that one, we got up, but we do not have to keep shooting.’ Malayka had fouled out and I knew we would not be able to play defense much longer.”Rankin fouled out with 1:54 remaining, but with Davie still up by two, East (5-11, 2-6) was called for a traveling violation at 1:42. Davie spread the floor and went to its delay game. After it had milked off consider-able time, Spaugh made a terrific pass to Martin for an inside bucket that made it 58-54 at :37. East missed three shots on the next trip down, and Martin shut the door by grabbing the re-bound at :17. “In road games, you don’t get every call you want and you usually don’t shoot as good, but we fought it out on the road,” Adams said after Davie improved to 11-7 overall. “It doesn’t really matter (the margin) as long as you bring home the win.”Aderhold (16 points, four 3s, 4-4 FTs, 3 steals) hit four-plus 3s for the fifth time. Rankin scored 13 and drew three charges. Martin had nine points and four rejections. Burris had six points, six boards, four as-sists and two steals. Spaugh had five points, seven boards and six assists. McDowell had five points. Daugherty had four points and two assists. Vaughters had two points, three boards and two steals. It’s evident in the scor-ing averages that the War Eagles like playing for each other. Rankin is averaging 10 points a game, followed by Martin (9.8), Aderhold (9.3), Burris (7.9), Spaugh (7.6) and Daugherty (7.5).

B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Britany Hernandez’s scoring spree and a box-and-one defense changed the fortunes for the Davie JV girls basketball team. After losing four straight, the War Eagles righted the ship in a 33-29 home win over West Forsyth on Jan. 23. Offensively, the first win since Dec. 15 was spearheaded by Hernandez (season-high 19 points) and Maddie Ratledge (12). Davie had to rally to make this happen. It was down 17-10 at halftime. Hernandez kept her team alive with seven first-half points. Davie crept within 22-19 at the end of the third quar-ter, and the offense really hit its stride in the fourth. Guards Hernandez and Rat-ledge fueled a 14-7 run down the stretch. Ratledge had 10 in the second half to register double figures for the sixth time. “We had one of the best fourth quarters that we’ve ever had,” coach Lamar Russell said. “That started with Britany. She had two or three steals and layups. She’s starting to get com-fortable in what we need her to do. “You were looking at Britany and then all of a sud-den here comes Maddie. She sneaks in behind you and does what she needs to do.”But a big part of why Davie was able to break through was the box-and-one. The box helped Da-vie hang with Reynolds in the previous game, a re-spectable 10-point loss, and Jaylene Rivera’s defense in the box made West’s fore-most weapon look ordinary. “Our game plan worked,” Russell said. “We switched the plan for the last two games. We played a very good Reynolds team and only lost by 10 and tonight The Davie JV boys basketball team’s see-saw stretch continued with a 64-46 home loss to West Forsyth on Jan. 23. The War Eagles (9-5) haven’t won two straight - or lost two straight - since December. The Titans (10-2) rolled from start to finish in this one, stretching a 12-point halftime lead to 18 in the third. Eleven War Eagles had points, but no one had more than nine.

Jaylene was on their best guard.”Zahmirah Summers had two points. Davie 30, EF 12This was a perfect illus-tration of Davie’s improve-ment. In the first meeting against East Forsyth in De-cember, Davie won by a skinny point, 25-24. In the Jan. 25 matchup in Kerners-ville, Davie (4-7) enjoyed its largest victory of the season. “I think we are firing on all cylinders,” Russell said. Hernandez had yet an-other outstanding offensive game, scoring 19 on seven field goals and 4-of-6 foul shooting. She has delivered 53 points in three games. Summers and Ratledge con-tributed seven and four, respectively. “Brittani played big,” Russell said. “Most of her points came off steals, and we had passes from Maddie and Kate (Nicholson) that got her open. We still need some more scorers. Maddie did not play her best game, but Zahmirah helped out.”Again, the box-and-one worked like a charm. This time Rivera rotated on East’s biggest threat with Zariyah Conner. “The last time we played East Forsyth, No. 25 scored 13 points,” Russell said. “Jaylene and Zariyah guard-ed her tonight and she had zero points. I subbed them in back and forth to give each other a break. If they can continue to do that against the other team’s main play-er, we might sneak up and beat some people.” 6, Jayden Warren 5, George Sakai 4, CJ Coleman 4, Cam Knox 4, Brady Vallance 4, Jake Runge 3, Jackson Sulecki 3, Ian Patton 2 and Brice Wilson 2. To show you how cra-zy the Central Piedmont Conference is, Davie beat Reagan by five. West lost to Reagan by 44. Two days later at East Forsyth, Davie was in a tight one when the roof be-gan leaking.
