That’s the estimated num-ber of miles that Brenda Lyer-ly has driven a bus during her 50 years with Davie County Schools.Yes, you read that correctly. Brenda, Take The Wheel Brenda Lyerly is retiring this year after 50 years - and some 300,000 miles - as a bus driver for the Davie County School System. - Photo by Karen Jarvis, Davie County SchoolsBus driver retiring after 50 years on the job Brenda has sat in the driv-er’s seat of a big yellow school bus for 50 years, and has only served one school - Coolee-mee Elementary. After this school year, she plans to hang up her keys and retire.“I always said that when I had kids get on there and they say ‘my grandma rode your bus’, I’d quit. It happened, and I didn’t quit,” Lyerly said with a laugh. It’s hard to leave the kids which she says are her favorite part of the day. “It’s a different bunch of kids every year. They make it fun. Sometimes they tell you everything. I could write a book.” Driving a bus is in the fam-ily. Her husband drives an ex-ceptional children’s bus, and her children and a niece have all been school bus drivers, too. “It’s the perfect job. I have talked several people into coming and driving buses. By Meredith RatledgeWord Master Media Group Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Davie Medical Center in Bermuda Run includes an emergency department, out-patient surgery, orthopedics, occupational and physical therapy, and cardiac rehabili-tation facilities, among a host of other services. But the medical center pro-vides more than routine medi-cal care; its staff is committed to fostering a culture of com-passion and excellence. Central to Davie Medical Center’s success is its team and culture. Lori Koethe, chief nursing officer and campus ad-ministrator, speaks passionate-ly about the employees at the Davie campus.“I’ve been in healthcare for Medical center strives for compassion and excellence Please See Bus - Page 5 over 30 years, and this place has the most solid culture I’ve ever been a part of,” she said. “When I first started inter-viewing for this position, what I heard from the first person I talked to the minute I got here, was about the Davie Medical Center culture.”Koethe feels that their team sets them apart as a healthcare provider."It's a pleasure to come to work," Koethe said. "People really care about what they do, and it reflects in the care they provide our patients.“I think a lot of what drives that is that many of our team-mates live here in this commu-nity - so they’re taking care of their neighbors. So, it’s im-portant to them to go above and beyond to ensure peo-ple are cared for, and not just physically, but giving them the best experience possible.”Davie Medical Center has garnered numerous accolades, including being ranked among the top hospitals in the state for joint replacement surgery. They’ve also achieved high patient satisfaction scores, particularly in the emergency department.

Board members listened to presentations by the town manager, economic develop-ment, town engineer, Envi-rolink, and the heads of each department, which provided a progress report toward strate-gic goals and shared funding needs for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.The strategic plan, Town Manager Ken Gamble said, is a guide.“What keeps you up at night? What is your biggest concern going into this budget year?,” asked Town Manager Ken Gamble.“We never get fully there because we are always grow-ing and developing, but when we make decisions, we have these overall goals in mind.

Tell us what you think There’s no sign of retreating prices Arts council needs community support To the editor:I enjoyed your article “Do incomes keep up with the cost of living?”. At first blush, the pricing of most of the 25 food items cited by Billy Shelton seems to have gone up a lot from 2009 to 2024. However, you never really an-swered the question you posed - that is, whether incomes have kept pace with the cost of this particular basket of food items.From 2009-2013, the total cost of this basket of food items went up at an average annual rate of 2.9%. From 2013 to 2024 the average annual rate of change was 3.3%. Over the whole 15-year period the average annual increase was 3.2%.According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census data, the average North Carolina household income went from $41,906 in 2009 to $65,070 in 2022. The average increase was 3.45%, slightly higher than the change in Mr. Shel- ton’s grocery basket.This suggests the increase in the cost of this particu-lar food basket was close to the increase in income of the average North Carolina household. So then the issue be-comes whether or not the share of income spent on this shopping basket stayed the same. The increase in the cost of other vital goods and services (home ownership and rent, car insurance and gasoline, education, etc.) increased much more. Overall, North Carolina household income in real terms only grew 0.5% on average from 2009 to 2021.One aspect of Mr. Shelton’s list is obvious. The rate of inflation and the cost of living are relatively esoteric topics. What really frustrates the average North Carolina shopper is the levels - not so much the rates of change - of all these goods and services have soared, and there’s no sign of them retreating.Peter Mooney, Advance To the editor:As a longstanding board member, I want to thank all of you who have provided community and financial support to the Davie County Arts Council. We recently held our annual fundraiser event (the first post COVID) and our at-tendees had a great time. Our season sponsors and event patrons continue to provide much needed support. The vounty has been making updates and improvements to the Brock Performing Arts Center and we are grateful.I first became involved as a volunteer with the arts council after moving to Mocksville in 2003. I will never forget helping with a Halloween contest and watching 78 children get up in front of the audience in the auditorium. Each of them was passed a microphone so they could tell everyone (mostly friends, parents and family) what their costume character was. That night led me to more volun-teer jobs and eventually becoming a board member. Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with Execu-tive Director Sidniee Suggs and watch our fundraisers and season events help to fund the programs we provide for county children. In addition to our patrons and supporters, the county and Town of Mocksville have historically pro-vided support via annual giving.March is the highlight of the year (at least for me) with our "YAM Reception". YAM is a national event and stands for Youth Art Month. Our YAM is a month-long exhibit, which gives Davie’s three elementary school art teachers an opportunity to highlight their talented students from all six elementary schools. Each teacher selects six-ty to 80 pieces of art from grades K thru 5. These dedicat-ed teachers install the art in the Brock Gallery. Just to see the art on display in the lobby and hallways of The Brock Performing Arts Center is spectacular.In addition, the arts council hosts a reception to give an opportunity for the students and their families to view their "artist's" work on display. Truly this one event brings people from all corners of our county together. (That is what art does.) As a greeter at past YAM events, it amazes me how many of the folks who attend say "they have never been to an event at The Brock". (This same comment is also echoed by patrons at many of our season performanc-es.)We are looking for help in the way of citizens eager to join and work as members of the board of eirectors, especially those who have a passion for the arts. We are also looking for help from the community in funding fu-ture opportunities. Let’s remember, the community came together in a fund drive started in 1994 to transform a well used" school auditorium into a facility that would expand arts and preserve historical significance and sentimental value, while improving opportunities for expanding eco-nomic and industrial growth in the county. The result of that fundraising effort was a grand opening in 1998 of the Brock Performing Arts Center.Here we are some 25 years later, with our facility still in need of technology updates that would rival other coun-ty’s video and meeting space capabilities. After a perfor-mance by North Carolina legend Doc Watson in 2010, he told the arts council that our facility "was the best listening room in the Triad.” While we may never again capture the status of "the best listening room in the Triad,” we still need your help to bring the facility up to those standards. Technology improvements would help us to capture more opportunities for event and meeting rentals, and with plan-ning for more professional and community performances.If you know anyone who has a passion for the arts"and may be interested in becoming a board member, or who would be willing to discuss possibilities for providing fi-nancial support, or know anyone who would like to volun-teer their time to work at any of our events, please feel free to contact me or any of our board members.Kim Strohacker, Facility Chair,Davie County Arts Councilwww.daviearts.org To the editor:I would like to begin with a huge shout out to Mech-elle Trivette and her daughter, Leah Call, for all the time, hard work and money that they have both put into the DC Flea Market. Obviously, it would not have worked without them. Thank you for all you do, and I am very proud of you for doing it.This letter is about following an idea/dream. Over a year ago, in November 2022, the DC Flea Mar-ket was started at the Masonic picnic grounds. (I am sure some of you are too young to remember the annual fair that was held there, with rides, games, etc., but that was a huge part of Mocksville and Davie County.). I was neither born nor raised here, but my mom was, and my grand- mother lived here until she passed away. My Grandma Shaw would take me to the fair every time it was here, even though money was always tight. I have many fond memories of this special location. When I had the opportunity to become a small part of the DC Flea being held on the same picnic grounds, I was so excited. When we were informed in December 2023 that we were no longer able to have an outside flea market, I was really confused. We live in a rural county. We are not a big city. We can have multi-family yard sales (which is just a temporary flea market, if you think about it). What? I think this is absolutely nuts. I was pretty ticked off once I realized what was going on. This was going to mean no more DC Flea Market. All their hard work growing this business was going to be for naught. An outside flea mar-ket wasn’t going to happen. I know that I was not the only disappointed party here.But Mechelle persevered and found a great location for an indoor DC Flea Market. It is almost like starting over, but with the support of our existing customers and the new customers that we get every weekend, I know this is going to work. I am also going to do anything in my power to work with the powers that be to ensure that we can have an outdoor flea market, if we so choose. I encourage each of you, your family and friends to come see the us out at the DC Flea Market, at 144 Chance Lane, right off 601, a mile north of Walmart. There are new and exciting vendors each week, as well as the per-manent vendors with their ever-changing products. As it is inside, no worries about bad weather, so no excuses. We would love to see you. Support local small business and shop DC Flea.Kris ZdunczykMocksville DC Flea finds a new home - indoors To the editor:In response to Mr. Carroll’s request for help in last week’s letter to the editor, I truly hope this advice is ben-eficial, helpful and productive. There were two glaring inaccuracies in your excuses for not supporting President Trump.First, during President Trump’s photo-op in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church’s parish house, after the peaceful protesters nearly burned it down, he did not hold the Bible upside down.Second, President Trump did not “pledge to act as a dictator”. His actual quote was, “You’re not going to be a dictator are you? No. No. No. Other than day one, we’re closing the border and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that I’m not a dictator” reverting back to President Trump’s policies before he leftboffice.Mr. Carroll, It is evident that many of your negative accusations of President Trump are based on faulty prem-ises. My advice to you would be, identify the sources of misinformation and aggressively purge them; and, try your best not to propagate the misinformation.To answer your question, “Help me understand how supporting Trump as the GOP nominee is in the best inter-est of the country”? My answer, to you, would be: Energy Independence and (modifying a 1990s Democrat cam-paign slogan) I.T.B.S (It’s The Border Stupid).Kurt MusselmanMocksville Why Trump? It’s the border, stupid The year was 1967.I was just a 10-year-old boy with dreams - a 10-year-old boy determined to make those dreams come true.I was already skinny, so that part was no problem. But I had to let my hair grow out just a certain way, flopping when I ran, and almost, but not quite, in my eyes. I had the floppy socks, and after lots of begging (My brother and sisters would say whining, I’m sure.), I got those pair of Keds.It was the brand that Pistol Pete wore, of course.And I was determined to be the next Pistol Pete.For hours on end, I would shoot that rubber, Green Stamp purchased basketball at the hoop, mounted on an old wooden sign that was nailed to the side of the smoke shed.But it was hard - no, impossible - to practice driving to the basket without running into the side of the shed. It also limited practicing shots from the side. So I begged (My brother and sisters would say whined, I’m sure.) for a better set up. It wasn’t long before I got what I wanted, that wooden sign attached to a pole in our large side yard.The yard became my coliseum.It was there where I spent much of my pre- and mid-dle-school years. Shooting a basketball. Dribbling a bas-ketball (The ground was worn down to hard dirt in no time.). Pretending I was taking the game-winning shot for a national championship. I would shoot pretend free throws until I made 50 in a row. I would practice layups with both hands until I became dizzy.The only problem was that in the summer, a grove of green apple trees nearby sometimes caught a runaway ball. It was full of rotting, squishy apples and bees that are at-tracted to such. On the other side of that dirt, makeshift basketball court was a hill. If the ball went that way at just the right spot, it would continue on down our gravel driveway.So I got pretty good at following my shots, as well. For those of you not familiar with basketball, following your shot means you run towards where you think the ball will end up - especially if it’s not going through the net.And yes, in middle school, my nickname was Pistol Pete.It was my destiny.But alas, things change. The Pistol Pete I emulated grew to be 6-5 tall. I stayed 5-10. I could play basketball all day and all night, but my feet weren’t quick like his. My first few steps were a bit slow. And the “real” Pistol Pete could see a basketball court from one side to the other, no matter where he was facing. My peripheral vision was lacking. I had to turn my head, and in turn, that let everyone else on the court know my next move.And then there was the attitude. I always respected and tried to follow what my coaches wanted me to do (Except that one coach who told me to shoot the ball as soon as I reached half court). But when the coaches reached into my personal life, with nothing to do with basketball, I balked. That should be none of their business.Why am I writing about this now?Pistol Pete Maravich - my hero - was until Sunday af-ternoon, college basketball’s all-time leading scorer. He did it in three years. He did it without a 3-point shot. He did it without a shot clock.Pistol Pete’s record was surpassed by pony-tailed sen-sation Caitlin Clark of Iowa. Watching that game, I was amazed at how much she reminded me of Pistol Pete. Her shooting range is pretty much the whole court, like his. Her passing ability was top notch, as were her ability to just be at the right place at the right time.A basketball player with Caitlin Clark’s ability needs a nickname, right?It came after she broke the record, when someone called her “Ponytail Pete.” I like it. Maybe even a DNA test is in order.I can only imagine, that somewhere on a black dirt farm in Nowheresville, Iowa, there is a 10-year-old girl with a dream. It’s getting dark, and her mother looks anxiously out the window. There is her little darling, her princess, shooting a basketball on the makeshift court her father had made in the driveway where they used to park the cars.The little girl looks left, then right, dribbles backwards, takes a few steps and let’s the ball fly from 25-feet away. It arcs high in the sky, and comes down with a swish, hitting nothing but net. And she’s there to catch it before it hits the cement.The mother smiles. She knows her daughter will cher-ish that Caitlin Clark jersey she had just purchased.- Mike Barnhardt ‘Ponytail Pete’ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 7, 2024 - 3The Literary Corner: Renegade Writers Guild Roni Stoneman enjoys some time with her friend from Davie, Mona Jo Griffith. The banjo-playing pioneer and member of the famouse Stoneman Family died on Feb. 22. Revolutionary War PatriotsBy Linda H. BarnetteHere I am starting a big new project! A few years ago I researched all of my ancestors who served during the Civ-il War, and now I am venturing further back in time and attempting to find those ear-lier ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War.The first one is Benjamin Bowles, 1765-1844, my 4th great-grandfather on my great-grandmother Lovie Belle Bowles Dwiggins’s side of the family. He was born in Franklin County, NC around 1765, not too far from where his parents lived in Virginia before coming here.He was probably a farm-er, helping his dad on the land as most people did in those early days. His parents were John Knight Bowles and Sarah Rice. He married Jemima Parker about 1783 in Montgomery County, North Carolina. They had several children: William, Heney, Lu-cinda, Stacy, Jesse, and John. Son John Bowles married Jane Annie Starbuck. They at some point came to Davie County and are both buried at the Center United Methodist Church cemetery. They are the ones responsible for the Bowles family being here.I searched for Benjamin both on Ancestry and in the History Room at the library. The North Carolina DAR published a book in 1932 that lists the names of all of the soldiers in the Revolutionary War. I found Benjamin there and then searched for his life events on Ancestry. There I found marriages, family members, census records, and a copy of an application for him to mark his service. It had been made by A.L. Boles of Mocksville, who was my grandmother’s cousin, in January of 1940. On it he list-ed the dates of Benjamin’s service and the name of the cemetery where he is buried, the Boles Palmar cemetery in Pekin, Montgomery County, NC. On Find A Grave I found a picture of the monument and am sharing it here in remembrance of his service. Women Who Write HistoryBy Stephanie Williams DeanWords tell stories. And today’s stories will be tomor-row’s historyFor Women’s History Month, I wanted to shine the spotlight on the achievements and contributions a few women have made in my life, those who influenced me to become a better writer. Since 2016, I’ve expanded my God-given talents in writing – and learned from the best. We should all be so fortunate to learn and grow from one another. Today I celebrate the word-crafters and history makers of the Renegade Writers Guild.There’s Ellen – she’s all about farm tractors, sunflow-ers, quilts, and country living – the stories that life and love are made of. She turned the key, opening up new ave-nues and worlds for writing topics. And just the folksy way she tells it has introduced a more relaxed style of writing. Capitalizing on the country-living lifestyle, Ellen lands on a topic and devours it. Growing up in the South, she has a Southern voice – one heard in her writing. After all, we do live in the country. She’s good at writing stories people love to read about. Folksy words embellish her writing. No deliberate craft here – just an authentic voice and hom-ey take on life. Reading one of Ellen’s homespun tales of the country is like taking big bites of a homemade sweet apple pie. And it’s a natural for her. A strong contributor to any farm and garden magazine, she puts the city slicker in me back in touch with my country girl alter ego. Gaye – bless her for her folksy and homey stories and history. Current and past history, she writes it all, giving life to people present and those who passed. Another good writer who helps me focus on the details. She delves deep into memories – my favorite writing genre – and brings them to life as if current. She inspires me to dig and delve into those memorable moments of growing up a Southern girl, and giving life to people and places along the way. Sharing with me an attitude for learning and improving, Gaye and I have lots in common. She’s also a nurse, so it’s always the heart of the matter that’s important to Gaye – and it shines through in her writing. And you’ve gotta know how much I love that Gaye’s is the heart and soul of good writing. Reading Gaye’s work is like traveling through a time machine She keeps people and their stories alive for all of us. Her writing is like a “read all about it!” I feel as if I was there and knew these people. That’s what good writing is made of. A consistent winner in the Senior Services Silver Arts.Julie is simply, one of the best. She helped me up my game by taking words and carefully crafting them. Any-time I write, I think of Julie’s carefully crafted, and flowing creative sentences – I don’t write like that naturally, so it gives a little color to my otherwise drab sentence. Reading Julie’s writing is like taking a rollicking, rocking, thunder-ing, clickily clack, metal-griding runaway train ride on the way to some rugged, ice-capped, higher altitude, solitary mountain destination. Do you get the picture? And no one does it like Julie. Also, Julie gives me a competitive voice in the Senior Services Silver Arts competition – she racks up the awards. I’ve got some fierce competition here – so I'm forced to up my game – no time for slacking. Julie also pushed timed writing, a practice I never enjoyed, but now appreciate and love – and one that’s made me a more prolific writer. I can put the pen to paper with a rare stop of the flow until the buzzer calls time. She takes it narrow and deep. Julie carries the reader right along with her through storytelling. A great thing I learned from Julie – the cre-ative picture tells the story more than words do. So don’t say it, show it.Linda Barnette is the writer who squeezes every drop of the stuff good writing’s made from – taking broad, easy-to-read, strokes in genres of history and memoirs along with an art in storytelling. She’s been a constant when writing of family genealogy, and local history, encouraging me to draw from past family and childhood stories giving more substance to my writing and a base from which to write. A quiet encourager, she’s a constant reminder of what I’m not doing – working on the historical account of my fa-ther’s days at sea. She edits writings and writes for histor-ical websites. Linda’s my go to when I need help with ed-iting. A quiet read of Linda’s stories is like being invited to go home with her to meet and visit with her kinfolk while seeing her homeplace and Mocksville as when she grew up. Thank you, Linda. You’ve been a great inspiration to travel back to my years of growing up and capture some of the history of Nashville and how things were back then. The stories readers wouldn’t have heard, otherwise. She compiles the writer’s works for the newspaper every week so readers can continue to enjoy the Renegade's writing. Quiet and consistent, she still uses her voice to talk to us – sharing historical stories that need to be told. Marie. Books, books, and more books. Marie epitomiz-es the art of self-publishing and inspires me to continue trying to publish my books. She is such an inspiration – not just delving deep into the history of Davie County but personal books as gifts that bring the past to life for her grandchildren. She’s creative, motivated, a self-start-er, and a self-learner – again giving me ideas on people, places, and historical events and from that, encouraging me to write in different genres and topics. She gets the information across in a straightforward, easy-to-read man-ner of writing without being flowery. Just give us the facts, Ma’am. Marie is like a walking history book. And she’s another solid competitor every year in Senior Services Se-nior Arts in any writing category. She’s comfortable with both writing and publishing. Truly inspiring. She’s a con-stant reminder yet a quiet inspiration to keep trying to do it myself, but I haven’t succeeded yet!Nancy Tucker – wow, what can’t I say about Nancy? She’s helped me in a million ways with so many aspects of the technology behind writing a column – my Word doc. She’s a true leader – and a great supporter – encouraging my fantasy of publishing any one of my 4 books in prog-ress that aren’t even close to being published yet! The day I publish one of my books will be like a sci–fi story Nancy writes – we’ll all wonder how it happened! On the compet-itive bike, she’s a soft peddler – taking time to help others along the road and desiring to see others succeed. She’s a true inspirational leader – she always goes the extra mile to help writers improve their craft. Always organized and prepared. She gave birth to the idea of my getting up at 5 am to work on my food column – thanks, Nancy. I could have been sleeping until noon! Nancy is like watching a machine grind out words that fill one book after another – a solid workhorse – and good at everything she does. RoniBy Ellen Frye BishopIt’s not often you get an opportunity to mingle with ce-lebrities, at least not for me anyway. The closest I’d got-ten was being in the same vendor tent at Merlefest (2010) with Steve Martin; close enough to get a great picture. But then, in 2015, another great banjo picker/celebrity showed up at a birthday cele-bration for a family member. And, how lucky we were having such a talented, fun-ny, down-to-earth personali-ty among us.That personality and talent won her many fans throughout the years. She was the first female to play the three finger style on ban-jo. She earned the right to call herself “The First Lady of the Banjo,” a title she re-ceived from the Nashville music industry after carving out a career for herself in country music. Being a mas-ter musician on a 5-string banjo, she made that instru-ment her life’s work.Veronica Loretta (Roni) Stoneman was the 22nd of 23 children born into the country music family led by her father Ernest “Pop” Stoneman on May 5, 1938. She grew up the poorest of poor (as she stated) in the years following the depres-sion. With her father being a pioneering bluegrass mu-sician, the Stoneman fam-ily rose out of poverty to become a longtime fixture in country music winning a CMA Award for the best vocal group in 1967. Shortly afterwards, Roni left the group to forge her own path.In 1971, Roni became Ida Lee Nagger, the Ironing Board Lady on the ’70’s comedy show Hee Haw. She is best known for her gap-toothed grin and goofy perfor-mances playing the wife in the poor, bickering couple liv-ing in a ramshackle home. Then, after 18 years, “Pfft You Were Gone!”Roni is well known for being in this TV show. But, her true talents for the rest of her life were that of being a strong, resilient woman who overcame many obstacles all the while raising five children and continuing her musical career as she describes in her 2007 autobiogra-phy called “Pressing On: The Roni Stoneman Story.” She did press on performing well into her 80s. So, how did we get fortunate enough to have this re-markable woman join us for Gail Frye’s 70th birthday celebration? That story goes way back. A family friend, Mona Jo Griffin, had always admired Roni from the TV show, even sat her children down to watch it every week. This was Mona Jo’s inspiration to play the banjo herself. Then, in 2004, the Lewisville Arts Council hosted a trib-ute show to Hee Haw where Roni was going to perform. Mona Jo was playing with Tommy Drifter and the Lost Travelers as the opening act and was so hoping to meet Roni in person that day.She indeed did get to meet Roni and asked if she could pick one with her. Roni said “OK, I’ll call you up when I get ready.” Mona Jo relayed the the following memory of that day to me last week over lunch.In Mona Jo’s words: “When she got ready for me to come up on stage, she said ‘where’s that gal that wanted to pick one?’ and I raised my hand and I’m going to tell you exactly what she said. ‘Well, get up here you ole hus-sy; don’t just set there looking stupid.’ We’ve been friends ever since.”Mona Jo began a journey down memory lane when I asked her a few more questions about their relationship. This is what she had to say. “She has been so good to me! She was the one that encouraged me to sing and do my own thing. She used to tease me about taking so many photos/videos but she got used to it. We laughed a lot; told jokes a lot; enjoyed play-ing benefits together to raise funds for child abuse/neglect; enjoyed visiting each other’s homes; she loved to point that finger at me telling me what to do on stage ‘get in that microphone,’ ‘Now, you listen to me.’ Going to miss that crazy ringtone ‘boing, boing’ that was just for her. There’s nothing we didn’t talk about. We didn’t always agree on things, just said what we thought. I think that’s why we got along so well. No fake stuff. Makes for a good friend-ship.”There’s no doubt these two meant so much to each oth-er. Mona Jo (and the rest of world) has lost a precious friend.

They are consistently recognized with five-star ratings ac-cording to the Healthgrades system:• Five-star recipient for total knee replacements (2021-2024);• Five-star recipient for total hip replacements (2021-2024);• Five-star recipient for spinal fusion surgery (2023-2024); and• Five-star recipient for treatment of sepsis in 2024.It has received five con-secutive A’s in the Leapfrog Group’s Hospital Safety Grades. This reflects the hospital’s ongoing commit-ment to providing safe and high-quality care.In the past two years, Davie Medical Center has been named a Top Gener-al Hospital by Leapfrog, a Best Hospital in Amer-ica by Money, and a Top Patient Pick by Business North Carolina magazine.Even as volume has grown, the hospital has maintained high levels of satisfaction. The medical center went from about 17,000 visits to its emer-gency room in 2017 to over 28,000 visits in 2023.“It’s really great to hear we have a pretty good rep-utation out there,” said Koethe, “because we take that really seriously, and our team prides themselves on taking care of this com-munity.”“We're always looking at what we can do better to serve the community," Koethe said. “We’re constantly look-ing at what makes sense to be in Davie County. When you’ve got a full-service tertiary care center just a few minutes down the road, we want to think about what makes sense to bring into this community.”Koethe noted several wins in the ongoing align-ment with Atrium Health and, more recently, Advo-cate Health, namely, their ability to expand services. “We’re continually ex-panding - we just added another minor procedure room, six additional med-ical beds and are planning to bring infusion services. We are aligning our medi-cal records with the greater Atrium Health Southeast market to make healthcare more accessible and seam-less." Davie Medical Center is committed to nurturing fu-ture healthcare profession-als, which is made evident in its involvement with stu-dents and partnerships with local community colleges. The center believes in ex-posing students to health-care careers early on.“We love to bring stu-dents in to shadow our teammates and expose them to healthcare careers. Our nursing educator and talent acquisition teams go to job fairs in the high schools and local colleges to encourage students to think about college as well as a healthcare career.”Davie Medical Center provides opportunities for high school and college students to shadow, train, intern, and ultimately find employment at the facility. The center participates in Camp Med, a summer camp offered to Davie High School health science students.Camp Med is a program provided through a partnership between lo-cal school systems, Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the North-west Area Health Education Center. The camp enables DCHS students interested in healthcare to get hands-on experience and observa-tion in real-world medical settings and network with healthcare professionals. Davie Medical Center also works with students in nursing programs offered at community colleges like Davidson-Davie Com-munity College (DDCC), Forsyth Tech and Mitchell Community College, host-ing them on campus for clinical rotations and in-ternships.In partnership with Atri-um Health Wake Forest Baptist, DDCC created a Registered Nurse Appren-ticeship program, which helps students achieve nursing certifications while getting on-the-job training with an employer. The Leap to RN pro-gram offered in partnership with DDCC was the first of its kind in North Carolina.The program enables aspiring nurses who ob-tain Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) certifica-tion to receive Registered Nurse (RN) degree within 24 months, expediting the traditional 36-month time-line to achieve an RN. The program is made possible through training at both Davie Medical Center and Lexington Medical Center.Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist and DDCC announced their expan-sion of the Apprenticeship Program in 2022 to incor-porate other focus areas such as Medical Assisting, Medical Laboratory Tech-nology, Nursing, Licensed Practical Nursing, Phar-macy Technology, Central Sterile Processing, Surgi-cal Technology, and Nurse Aides, making it the largest healthcare apprenticeship in the state.Koethe highlighted Atrium Health Wake For-est Baptist’s partnership with DDCC’s EMT pro-gram, taught on-site at Davie Medical Center. By teaching the course at the Davie campus, students have access to all of the real-world tools at a para-medic’s disposal. “We have nursing stu-dents here almost every day from the different colleges doing their clini-cals, Monday-Friday. We work very closely with their clinical instructor to get them more experience. Even if they’re not physi-cally taking care of people, we might get them into the operating room to watch a surgery. And then we try to recruit them when they graduate.“I think having those relationships with the col-leges is a good process. We give feedback on what we’re seeing - to the clin-ical instructor who works with all of the colleges, whether that’s a ‘you’re preparing them appropri-ately for the real world’ versus ‘maybe we need to incorporate certain experi-ences.’”Richard McDaniel start-ed volunteering at Davie Medical Center while at-tending DCHS. sA 2023 graduate of Davie High, he was admitted straight into the Regionally Increas-ing Baccalaureate Nurses (RIBN) program DDCC offers in collaboration with NC Agricultural and Tech-nical State University (NC A&T), which he began in August of 2023. McDaniel is part of the NA to RN (NAvigate) Program at the hospital and became the first NA to RN Apprentice to also enter the RIBN Program at DDCC. After completing his associate’s degree in nursing free othrough the IGNITE DAVIE College Promise Program (ID), he will transfer to NC A&T and enter the bachelor’s in nursing (BSN) program. “We love working with Richard - he just fits in here well. He’s got a great sense of humor, and he’s a hard worker,” said Koethe.Koethe said most of the Wake Forest Baptist chief nurses serve on the student advisory boards for nursing at DDCC, Mitchell, and Forsyth Tech. “I also think our nurs-ing summer internship program is great because students come and they get to function like a nurse for six or eight weeks and get a couple of experiences. The students have a preceptor, or a seasoned nurse, by their side, who has ultimate responsibility. Richard McDaniel on the job at Davie Medical Center; Molly Daniels with the Daisy Award for outstanding nursing; and CNA Kendra Tallent instructs McDaniel as part of the NA to RN program. Medical ... Davie Medical Center’s nursing leadership team. “I think it’s good for the students to have that expo-sure to see jobs and what they want to do. And it’s al-ways good to see someone go through their training because you get an idea of what their niche might be - what they might enjoy, how they’re going to progress,” she said.Koethe said they’re looking to expand involve-ment with local students. In partnership with local community colleges, Da-vie Medical Center antic-ipates offering additional apprenticeship programs in laboratory services and ra-diology. They’re also inter-ested in starting a volunteer program for high school students.“I cannot stress enough how important our com-munity colleges are as our pipeline for our new talent. They’re great partners with us.“We hope to get to stu-dents early and get them excited about healthcare as a great possibility - whether it’s being a radiology tech, ultrasound, or lab. We love having the younger kids here." Davie Medical Center became one of the first Em-ployers of Choice with ID. The surgical team at Atrium poses with the Demon Deacon mascot from Wake Forest University. Given their longstanding commitment to supporting Davie students, the partner-ship was a natural fit for the center.“We are excited to con-tinue to support our com-munity and Davie Coun-ty students,” said Chad Brown, president of Davie Medical Center from 2014-2023, when he became president of Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist’s south and west areas. “Ignite Davie has had such a tremendous impact on our students and fami-lies, and we are proud to be a partner in continuing this tradition. Investing in the education of our students, especially those interested in healthcare fields, is im-portant to Davie Medical Center. The community has supported and invested in our hospital, so this is an opportunity for Davie Med-ical to give back,” he said.“We’re always looking at ways we can partner that are a win-win - ways that get folks interested in healthcare while also tak-ing care of our patients,” said Koethe.“We’re really proud of what we do here," said Koethe. “It’s a good feel-ing to know that your em- ployees are here every day doing a good job and to see our outcomes and the posi-tive feedback we get from the community. Without the community support, we wouldn’t be here,” Koethe said.“We have now had the pleasure of working with multiple Ignite Davie graduates here,” said Ash-ley Alderin-Fleagle, RN clinical educator. “We are passionate about offering opportunities for students here in Davie County to learn and grow. Looking towards the future of work-ing with more Ignite Davie graduates is exciting, and we couldn’t be happier to be a part of their journey to success.”Davie Medical Center offers a range of entry-level opportunities. Certified medical assis-tants can join the orthope-dic and cardiology clinics. High school graduates can explore positions in regis-tration and as patient advo-cates, as well as in food or environmental services.If interested in joining the Atrium Wake Forest Baptist Health team, visit the careers page or con-tact WakeRecruits@wake-health.edu to learn more.

It's just like driving a car.”“I've worked with Bren-da for 21 years now, and one thing I always have appreciated about her is her attention to detail,” said Jeremy Miller, Davie County Schools Transpor-tation Director. “She knows her kids, she knows her route, and she knows her bus. If any of those were off she would always notify us to make it right. That is so important in keeping our students safe.” Jeremy, along with Em-ily Moore, assistant princi-pal at Cooleemee, describe Brenda as extremely de-pendable. “She has transported countless students to and from school safely,” said Moore. “Safety on her bus is a top priority, and she strives to maintain a quiet and orderly bus ride each time she gets behind the steering wheel.”“I’m going to miss the kids, even the ones that give me heart palpitations,” said Lyerly. “I’ll cry.”Even among the tears, Brenda is looking forward to her free time. “I’m going to get outside, play in my flower beds and get them back to looking good. We’ll go on vacation in our camp-er. It won’t hit me real hard until the cold weather starts and I’m not busy outside.”The students on her bus this year keep asking her age. They’ve made guess-es, anywhere from 30 to 90. “I told them I’d tell them on my last day as a bus driver.” Until then, Brenda, your secret is safe with us. Brenda Lyerly operates a school bus for Cooleemee Elementary, and is retiring this year. “I’m going to miss the kids, even the ones who give me heart palpitations.” - Photos by Karen Jarvis, Davie County Schools Bus ... 6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 7, 2024Public Records ArrestsThe following were ar-rested by the Davie County Sheriff’s Office.March 1: Makenzie An-nette Stephens, 28, of Salis-bury, damage to property, larceny; Feb. 29: Darrius Rei-suan Ijames, 33, of Mount-view Drive, Mocksville, misdemeanor child abuse; Brian Keith Schuerman, 56, of Fonso Way, Mocksville, misdemeanor child abuse; Brandon Lee Brown, 30, of Thomasville, assault on a female; Michael Tyrel Bur-chette, 23, of Yadkinville, possession of drug para-phernalia, possession of methamphetamine, driving without a license, posses-sion of marijuana parapher-nalia, possession of drug paraphernalia; Leigh Ann Fazio, 44, of Fork-Bixby Road, Advance, misuse of 911 system; Ronald Lee Geibel, 63, of Woodleaf, failure to appear in court; Kimberly Louise Green, 50, of Yadkinville, posses-sion of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana paraphernalia, possession of marijuana up to half ounce, maintaining a vehi-cle or dwelling for a con-trolled substance, posses-sion of methemphetamine; Samuel Dean James, 43, of Oak Tree Drive, Mocks-ville, failure to appear in court; Sunnie Amanda Peckinpaugh, 34, of Salis-bury, non-support of child.

It made for good reading on the ship, they said. Of course, it did. There’s no better way to fight off those chills than with the latest copy of the local newspaper. This newspaper really gets around ... A Cold News Day Stuart and Becky Peters enjoyed the sights and sounds, tastes and feel of Portugal as they cruised on the Douro River. “We had a great trip, but when we needed news and information, or course, we read the Davie County Enterprise.”Well said, Mrs. Peters Impressive ‘Empresa’ Subscribe Today!

The town must develop fair pay and com-pensation, career devel-opment and advancement opportunities, and invest in employees through training and coaching, she said. HR is creating an annual report that will establish a rolling five-year data set to track recruiting, retention, lon-gevity, and turnover num-bers. Efforts to improve re-cruitment include: an in-creased use of social media and direct outreach to more diverse parts of the commu- nity; promoting internship opportunities; streamlining the application and hiring process; reviewing job de-scriptions/duties. Quance said that retain-ing employees is also crit-ical.She discussed inflation vs cost of living increas-es over the last five years and proposed a 3% cost of living adjustment for town employees this year. She also recommended a 2% retention bonus for full-time employees rated “Meets Expectations” for the FY24-25 evaluation pe-riod. The bonus would be provided at the end of the budget year (June 2025)•Community Devel-opment operates within four divisions: the town, Mocksville Tourism, His-torical Davie, and the Main Street Program. This year’s goals have centered around expanding, diversifying, revitalizing, and promot-ing the historic downtown and seeking partnerships to drive economic develop-ment. Director of Marketing and Community Devel-opment, Jennifer Evens, said the town is working towards full accreditation from the Main Street Pro-gram to increase public input and leverage the pro-gram's full value. Budget requests cen-tered around: additional funding for advertising and new events; wayfinding signs Phase IV; wayfinding sign maintenance; streets-cape trees and installationl and an ornamental fence along a portion of Main Street. • The Mocksville Fire Department (MFD) covers 25.79 square miles in Da-vie, 8.58 square miles in the town limits, and 17.21 square miles surrounding the town. The department an-swered 1,537 calls in 2023 and anticipates this num-ber to continue growing as commercial square footage and residential properties increase. In 2023, the town, with help of fire chief consul-tants, concluded that: a second station is needed in the northern section of the town; only one of three engines rated as in “good shape.” (A new engine will soon be ordered but is still three years away from de-livery); and the ladder truck is reaching the end of its service life.The department is de-veloping strategies to at-tract employees and retain current employees through a schedule change, em-ployee appreciation, and addressing starting salary. Carter shared wages are not competitive with sur-rounding areas and recom-mended an increase to the starting salary and a com-parable increase for current firefighters. Requests for FY 2024-2025: Knox Master Key Control System; 5 sets of PPE at $7,000 each; hose replacement $10,000; 2 Level “A” Hazmat Suits at $1,000 each; 1 adult & 1 child fire resistant rescue msnnequin at $5,000; host one specialty fire class at $5,000; funding for train- ing; 6 beds with storage at $10,000.•Parks & Rec Director Chris Vaughn presented a list of capital requests: grapple bucket, $3,986, to help with moving and pushing brush in the com-post yard; LA 724 Kubota Loader, $7,984; leaf truck, $178,030. •Public Works Direc-tor Brian Moore detailed equipment and personnel needs for FY 2024-2025: replace existing dump truck that is no longer safe to operate with a used dump truck, $40,000; two new employees to assist in read-ing water meters, perform cut-offs and cut-ons, and complete rereads in time to get the water bills out on time.”The town contracts with Envirolink to maintain wa-ter and sewer plants. Once the Cooleemee Water Plant goes online in 2026, the town will purchase water from the county. Moore advised the board to con-sider hiring a maintenance person to work with Envi-rolink now to learn the op-eration of the sewer plant. “I believe the town will save money by investing in an employee to run our plant rather than hiring a contractor to take care of it for us.” •Chuck Willis, Willis Engineers, detailed the town’s water and waste-water projects. Utilizing maps, he explained the town’s water and wastewa-ter Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which details larger projects to be imple-mented over the next five years. Willis gave updates about ongoing projects and shared that $10 million in state and federal grants has made these big projects possible. There are several CIP projects under way, includ-ing a new pump station and force main to convey wastewater from the Leon-ard Creek basin and Brake-bush Brothers chicken plant. These facilities will move wastewater from the town’s Dutchman’s Creek plant to the county-owned treatmentpPlant in Cool-eemee, creating additional capacity for future devel-opment in the north part of Mocksville. Improvements will also include renovating the Bear Creek Pump Sta-tion and an additional water line to improve service to customers on the south side of town. These projects are funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Golden Leaf, and town funds. Both are ex-pected to be completed this spring. Additional projects will concentrate on improve-ments to the water and sewer facilities north of I-40. The SouthPoint Pump Station and force main and north elevated tank projects are in the design process. Both are being funded by direct appropriations in the 2022 state budget. •The retreat was the first public meeting in the FY2024-2025 budget pro-cess. The budget will con-tinue to be discussed at the monthly board meetings.: March 5, 1st draft and de-partment head requests; April 2, second draft and adjustments & corrections; May 7, proposed budget and manager’s message; and June 4, public hearing/adoption of budget.For more information, call (336) 753-6700 or visit www.mocksvillenc.org.

Robert Lee ‘Bo’ PottsRobert Lee “Bo” Potts, 88, of Advance, passed away on Saturday, March 2, 2024 at his home. Bo was born on Sept. 22, 1935 in Davie County to the late Solomon Potts and Ida Hendrix Potts. He was a lifelong resident of Advance, growing up on his family’s farm. Bo was em-ployed at R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. as a machine operator, retiring after 30 years. He was a founding member of the Advance Volunteer Fire Department. Bo operated his own farm in Advance, and it was his life’s passion. He continued physical work on his farm until just under a year ago when he was no longer able due to his health, he then continued to supervise activi-ties on the farm until shortly before his death. He enjoyed spending time tending to his farm animals, especially his cows, two donkeys and the farm’s 24-hour security guard, “Fat Cat”. He also enjoyed quail hunting and earlier in life he trained bird dogs for hunting. Bo could fix anything. He was a man of many talents and would willingly help anyone and leave his own work behind. Bo was a (mostly reluctant) world traveler, traveling to many countries with his wife Mona and his family. They had many fun (and at times harrowing) adventures, but all ended in a story that would be remembered and told in the years to come. In addition to his parents, Bo was preceded in death by: 5 brothers; 6 sisters; several nieces and nephews; and his loving canine companion, “Tiger”. Surviving family includes: his loving wife of 67 years, Mona Foster Potts; a daughter, Leesa Church and her hus-band Barron; 2 grandchildren, Stephanie Mathis and her husband Shannon and Josh Church and his wife Heather; 5 great-grandchildren, Caleb, Connor and Aubree Mathis and Sutton and Sullivan Church; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Parker Sr. and Hazel Spry Parker.He was a beloved husband, dad, papaw, great papaw, mentor, coach, and friend and especially loved his kids, grandkids, and great grand-kids.

Don’t forget Daylight Savings Time LOCAL OBITUARIES ONLINE Read them first at: www.ourdavie.com 12 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 7, 2024 Bless Your Spoon By Stephanie Williams Dean The little gap between winter’s finale and spring burst-ing forth is transition time. While not wanting to wish the frosty away – we stay bundled up, relishing every cold, crisp day. There’s a peace found in barren, woodsy views, contrasting beautifully with evergreen pines. And then those tiny yellow For-sythia buds begin to bloom as if to say hello – heralding spring’s ar-rival just a few days away. And about the time the earth be-gins to come alive again – we get busy. Life’s been a mixed bag of calendar must-do’s and want-to-do’s starting with love month cele-brations, church potlucks, and gar-den club meetings. The business of living has included veterans' cof-fees, civic club duties, and taking care of sick folks – mixed in with challenging fiddle lessons, music jam sessions, playing bridge, and laughter-filled game nights. And if your life has been like mine, we relishe lunch out with lively, vibrant friends while attending sad funerals and teary-eyed celebrations of life where we said goodbye to other dear folks – and all while attending baby showers celebrating new life on the way. Somewhere in all that, we managed to sneak in a getaway to the beach – whew. But don’t expect life to slow down. In fact, we’re about to get busier as our yards awaken. And I’m caught between winter and spring and an early arrival of Easter. After ex-periencing a spell of unseasonably hot days, we’ve had to bundle back up after temps drop down to 20. Life can be unpredictable. We’re unsure how to proceed outdoors or in our kitchen.During a seasonal transition phase, deciding what foods to prepare can be challenging. We’re unsure whether to cook for comfort or undress heavier dishes with simpler preparations. This week our menus will lighten up a bit with recipes of satisfying pasta that include fresh vegeta-bles or light meats added, some tossed in cream or pesto sauce. For these dishes, use the pasta of your choice. Since most only require boiling, why not step out of your comfort zone and try something new, either dried, refrigerated, or frozen? Pasta should be cooked to the “al dente” stage – which is translated as “to the tooth” in Italian – meaning pasta should be tender but have a little resistance when you bite into it – still a bit firm and chewy. Next week, we will begin our transition into dishes for holiday cooking. Have you ever been in a transition – a time when your calendar’s cluttered and you’ve lost focus? Are you stuck in the middle of something not knowing what to do? It’s easy to get lost in all life’s bustle. Let’s take time to slow down and refocus, making sure to reseed and fertilize our spiritual relationship with God. As we approach Easter, now is the perfect time to stop and reset. A good place to begin is with your Bible or daily devotional. Every day, spend time with Him in the Word. Paul’s prayer to the Ephesians is also for us. “…to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:19 (NIV) Pray that the Holy Spirit will fill every aspect of our lives to the fullest – a fullness expressed in union with Christ and His empowering Spirit.Refocus – let go, and let God lead – He will give us the focus and direction we’re seeking.

Goods is a 6-9, 220-pound moose, and the Grimsley senior overwhelmed visiting Davie in the second round of the state playoffs on March 1. He scored 28 points on 10-of-11 shooting. He sank 8 of 12 free throws and added seven rebounds and three blocks as the seventh-seeded Whirlies ended the season for No. 10 Davie, 72-55. “I think we were intimidated by their size at the beginning, and it showed throughout the game,” coach Josh Pittman said. The War Eagles staggered out of the gate, missing their first five shots. Grimsley hit its first two 3-pointers and burst to leads of 7-0 and 14-4. To the War Eagles’ credit, they settled in. Adam Brown scored as he was fouled. Then Gavin Wil-liams and Bryson Mickey buried 3s as Davie closed within 15-12 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, Davie stayed in contention by having success from the arc. Williams, who hit all three of his attempts in the first half, drained a 17-footer. Mickey and Williams nailed 3s. Then Ethan Driver hit a pair of triples. Davie was only down 33-26 at halftime because it converted 6 of 15 from downtown. Early in the third, Davie clawed within two as Coleman Lawhon, who sat the last 14:14 of the first Grimsley too much for Davie boys half with three fouls, pulled off a four-point play and Mickey drilled a 15-footer. At that point, Grimsley’s lead was 34-32. A Davie team that had trailed at halftime and rallied to win six times this season believed. Alas, the Whirlies kicked into high gear. They made five straight field goals, including three 3s, during a 15-5 run that created a 52-37 gap. That was all she wrote. “I was upset we lost because I know we had a better team than they did,” Pittman said. The War Eagles simply didn’t shoot well enough to stay with Grimsley for four quarters. They went 20 of 58 for 34 percent. On the other hand, the Whirlies burned the nets at 58 percent (24 of 41 overall, 6 of 9 from 3). They also held a huge advantage at the free-throw line, hitting 16 of 25 while Davie went 5 of 7. Lawhon paced Davie with 12 points, followed by Mickey (11), Jackson Powers (8), Williams (8), Driver (6), Landon King (6), Ethan Ratledge (2) and Brown (2). Pow-ers and Driver pulled down nine and eight rebounds, respectively. The War Eagles ran into a stud and a hot-shooting team, but a night of agony in Greensboro can’t wash away all the memories made in 2023-24. They had their best finish (second place) in the CPC in five years. They had the best start/longest winning streak (16-0) in the school’s 68-year history. They became just the third team to win 22-plus games. At 22-5, By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Last year when the Davie girls basketball team drew Northern Guilford in the first round of the state playoffs, the Nighthawks didn’t even break a sweat in a 63-36 drubbing of Davie, which trailed 33-10 at halftime. Davie had to face the Greens-boro juggernaut in the first round again on Feb. 27. The visiting War Eagles got routed 70-43, but they could take solace in the fact they hung tough for a half. Davie outscored Northern in the second quarter and only trailed 32-23 at the break. “We got their second-leading scorer in foul trou-ble,” coach Lindsey Adams said. The Nighthawks, however, came at Davie like a freight train in the third. They rung up 34 points and widened the gap to 66-32. The Nighthawks (27-1) are a well-oiled machine. They’ve won by 40-plus margins 10 times, their average margin of victory is 32.8 and they have a freshman sensa-tion in Leena McField. “She is top five in the state in her class,” Adams said. “We hav-en’t played anybody of that caliber. She averages 25 points a game. She had their first eight points. She can shoot from the volleyball line consistently.”Davie’s scorers were Malayka Rankin (13), Makenzie Gentry (7), Vivian Vaughters (7), Bailey Ader-hold (5), Londyn McDowell (4), Madison Daugherty (3), Avarie Martin (2) and Peyton Spaugh (2). Even though the final game was a beatdown, it was easy for the War Eagles (16-12) to walk out of the gym with pride. They won the most games in seven years, posted the first winning season in seven years and achieved the highest finish in the Central Piedmont Conference (third) in seven years. Under Adams, Davie’s win to-tals have gone from three to nine to 13 to 16. This year’s record was an insane accomplishment with two seniors, two sophomores and five freshmen and without Kenadi Gentry, who missed her entire se-nior season after leading Davie in scoring the past two years. Adams gives a ton of the credit to seniors Rankin and Spaugh. “The freshmen have some big shoes to fill defensively,” she said. “There’s nothing else (Rankin and Spaugh) could’ve given. They never missed workouts. They nev-er missed a practice. They never missed in preseason. They got on AAU teams to better themselves. They went to all the training op-portunities they could’ve gone to. They got in a weight room every chance they could. They got extra reps up on a Saturday or Sunday to get better at shooting. And that’s all they could do.”With so many coming back, the sky is the limit on how far Davie can go in the coming years. Adams and her girls will take a month off before getting back to work. Rankin, Spaugh play final games Please See Final - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie boys basketball team redeemed itself. Yes, its showing in the conference tournament against Reynolds was quite a dud. But the great thing about sports is there is often a chance to make amends. In the first round of the state playoffs against visiting North-ern Guilford on Feb. 27, the War Eagles played just as coach Josh Pittman had hoped. They won their first playoff game in five years, 69-53, and joined exclusive company with their 22nd victory. “We played together,” Pittman said after 10th-seeded Davie won a playoff game for the first time since edging Hopewell 63-61 in 2019. “We moved the ball. The whole team played well.”After the War Eagles stubbed their toe in the first round of the conference tournament, Pittman gave them two days off before putting them through some de-manding workouts. “I killed them Thursday and Friday,” he said. “We came back and played some basketball on Sat-urday. It was steps, it was wall sits, it was anything you can think of that had defense on it. We did steps in the gym, slides, jump rope. We got back to playing some defense.”Senior point guard Coleman Lawhon came out strong. He assisted the first three buckets - a long pass to Ethan Driver, a post entry to Jackson Powers and a dish to Bryson Mickey for a 3-pointer - and had four assists before the game was nine minutes old. Davie’s passing was extremely impressive, reminiscent of what fans saw during the record-break-ing 16-0 start. On one fast break, the ball moved from Lawhon to Mickey to Ethan Ratledge. Mick-ey’s third straight 3 provided a 39-26 lead, and the halftime margin was 39-29. “Coleman played a real good game,” Pittman said. “He took care of the ball and did not fold under pressure. He was assisting, scoring when he had to and got things back in order and called plays.”The 23rd-seeded Nighthawks, though, gave Davie a scare in the third quarter. They drilled 5 of 6 shots during a 12-0 run. Davie missed five straight shots and found itself behind 43-42 with 2:52 left in the third. “We missed some defensive assignments,” Pittman said. “I told them we’ve got to stay disciplined. Against good teams, it could be the slightest reach and you’re going to pay for it. The slightest out of position - offensive rebound. The slightest reach - kick, 3. They are a well-coached team.”The War Eagles responded beautifully to Northern’s push, exploding for a game-ending run of 27-10. It was ignited by reserve Adam Brown. Seventeen seconds after Davie fell behind, Brown drove, the defender tried unsuccessfully to draw a charge and Brown scored on his first shot attempt of the night. Powers posted up, the defender flopped and the big man laid it in. Powers received a pass from Mickey and sank a 3. Powers took a feed from Gavin Williams and scored inside. Then Brown struck again, this time on a 3-ball on his second shot of the game. One particular possession was symbolic of Davie’s tremendous passing. When Powers rebounded a missed free throw by N. Guil-ford, 7:33 remained in the game. Eight passes later, Pittman didn’t like what he saw and called time-out. On the 21st pass of the pos-session, Mickey hit Ratledge on the low block. Ratledge converted, Davie had milked 84 seconds off the clock and the hosts had a 56-48 lead at 6:09. The War Eagles still had some work to do. After N. Guilford got within 56-50, Powers scored as he was fouled and completed the Boys get 22nd win in 1st round Please See Grimsley - Page B4 Please See 22nd - Page B4 Ethan Driver works against a Northern Guilford defender. - Photos by Marnic Lewis A Parkland player guards Peyton Spaugh. B2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 7, 2024 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The bad news first. The bats struggled in the first two games for the Davie varsity softball team. Now the good. Pitcher Riley Potts is off to an in-credible start. In the season opener, the junior recorded the most strikeouts in seven years. In the second game, she broke the record for Ks in a game. Wow. “Riley has been pitching her butt off,” coach Nathan Handy said after his pitcher totaled 29 Ks in 13 innings. ND 6, Davie 0Unsurprisingly, Davie and visiting North Davidson staged a pitchers’ duel in the Feb. 29 season opener. On the home side, Potts was coming off a record 155 strikeouts as a sophomore. On the other side, North had senior lefthander Kayla Mi-lam in the circle, the same pitcher who cuffed Davie 3-1 last year. By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record When Burke Rosenbaum and Bryce Bailey graduated last June, they left clown-sized shoes for Davie’s ten-nis team to fill. Despite not having two guys who were good for four wins just about every time out in 2023, the War Eagles opened the 2024 season with a 5-4 road win over Reynolds on Feb. 29. “My guys were happy to get to play someone else,” 10th-year coach Shane Nix-on said the Central Piedmont Conference victory. “We’ve been grinding on each other for over two weeks now and being able to actually play was great.”After winning the pre-vious 11 meetings by an aggregate score of 79-11, this one didn’t come easily. Davie led 4-2 after singles, but Reynolds won two of three doubles. Two freshmen came up big. Brady Carter won 6-2, 7-5 at No. 4 singles, and Carter/Max Rappaport clinched with a dominating 8-2 win at No. 3 doubles. “Brady does not play like a freshman,” Nixon said. “I want to say things like ‘crafty’ and ‘wily,’ but Colin Harrison struck out six in three innings, Logan Allen got two hits and catch-er Tanner Steinour made the defensive play of the game as Davie’s JV baseball team opened the season with a 6-2 home win over Alexander Central on Feb. 27. The game was stopped after four and a half innings via the time limit. It was 1-1 before Davie batted in the third. After an error, Allen singled. That was followed by a walk and then a grounder that plated Hayden Potts. After the second walk of the inning, Steinour provided an RBI single that gave Davie a 3-1 lead. Davie pushed the lead to 6-1 in the fourth. In the fifth, the Cougars had one run in and had run-ners at second and third with one out. Things could have gone sideways if it weren’t for an excellent play by By Brian PittsEnterprise Record With Davie ace pitcher Braeden Rodgers under the weather and unavailable for the baseball season opener on Feb. 27, Connor Berg had a big opportunity against perennial power Alexander Central. The senior righthander answered the call. Berg demonstrated dam-age control after the visiting Cougars took an early 4-0 lead, posting zeroes in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth and helping lead an 8-4 victory. Davie baseball rallies for season-opening win After making 14 relief appearances last year, Berg made his second varsity start. In six innings, he al-lowed five hits and one earned run. “I was without two start-ers and Hunter Potts filled in well (at third base for sick Coston Colamarino), espe-cially since he hasn’t been working at third,” coach Joey Anderson said. “Hunter had a huge bunt to make the bases loaded.”Davie won on a day when five guys made their varsity debuts: Carson Queen, Ka-son Stewart, Potts, Craig McBride and reliever Parker Davis. Two more guys who were bit parts last year - MJ Jacobs and Will Wands - were in the lineup. It was a lot to ask, but Davie found a way to overcome the size-able deficit and win going away. “It was a very good team win,” Anderson said. Central put up three runs in the top of the second to make it 4-0. “We had a couple of errors that helped them get the runs,” Anderson said. “It was new for a lot of people, and I think nerves were pretty high.” Davie chipped away, cutting the margin in half in the third. After two walks, Queen knocked in one with a hit.The top defensive play came in the Central fourth. After a two-out walk, a Cougar singled to right field. Cooper Bliss prompt-ly showed off his gun as the runner tried to go from first to third. Bliss rifled the throw to Potts for the third out. “Cooper threw a guy out at third by a mile to get out of an inning,” Anderson said. “We were behind at that point; that changed ev-erything for us. It was like a bullet and Hunter was just waiting on him.”Davie’s offense caught fire in the fourth. A walk was followed by a Jacobs double. Then Wands tied it with a two-run single. After Queen singled, Coy James scored on a wild pitch to give Davie a 5-4 lead. The War Eagles attained some breathing room in the fifth, when they racked up three more runs. Queen (2-4) and Stewart (2-3, walk) had two knocks each as Davie outhit Central 8-5. Davie got one hit from Drew Krause (1-3, walk), Potts (1-2, two walks), Ja-cobs (1-3) and Wands (1-2, three RBIs, walk). James scored two runs and Mc-Bride reached base twice. “We swung the bats well up and down the lineup,” Anderson said. “MJ had a big hit with runners in scor-ing position.”Davis got the ball in the seventh. He issued two walks but worked around them. “He’s really impressed all of us at practice, so we know it’s there,” Anderson said of Davis.

Davie finally blinked in the sixth and then things got out of hand. “From the get-go, Riley was on point,” Handy said. “They only had one hard hit. It sucks as a pitcher to throw one of your better games of your career and come out on the losing side of it. Riley can throw a lot of different pitches. We worked every part of the plate that we possibly could.”Potts did spectacular work after North put run-ners at second and third with no outs in the fourth. She coaxed a popout to short before striking out the next two. Potts, though, could only hold the Black Knights down for so long. In the sixth, they scored five runs on four hits, an error and a walk. Only three of North’s six runs were earned as Potts struck out 13. Her previous high for Ks was 14 in an 8-8, 12-inning tie with West Rowan last March. Her pre-vious high in a seven-inning game was 11 in a 2-1 loss to West Forsyth last April. Meanwhile, Davie only managed two hits against Milam. Freshman Raney Phelps and sophomore Ja-dyn Davis both went 1 for 3. Davie’s only base runner for 6.1 innings was a Hanna Steinour walk in the second. Phelps’ one-out single in the seventh broke up Milam’s no-hitter. “We were all over it,” Handy said. “We just could not get the ball out of the infield or find a gap. We only had four strikeouts; I’ll take that every day.”Davie 6, Starmount 3The offense found life in the third inning and Potts was awesome again as Da-vie evened its record on the road on March 2. Potts struck out six in a row, then four in a row. She had two-plus Ks in all six innings, finished with a record 16 and left with a shutout. The old record belonged to two War Eagles - Amy Alexander fanned 15 in a 2-1, 11-inning loss to West Forsyth in 2005, and Olivia Boger had 15 in a 1-0 win over Central Davidson in 2017.Davie’s offense broke through in the third. After an error and two walks, Phelps lofted a sac fly. Davis followed with a run-scoring single. The second error of the inning allowed a third run. Davie put up another three-spot in the fourth, when Raelyn Lankford pro-vided a two-run single. The Rams got all of their runs in the seventh after Potts had departed the circle. “There were two or three balls that were right in the sun that Starmount really struggled with,” Handy said. “Left field and center field were looking directly into the sun because of the game time (4 p.m.). We were the beneficiaries of a couple of mistakes just from them losing them in the sun.”The offensive star was Lankford, who went 3 for 3 with two runs and two RBIs. Davis was 2-4 with a double. Phelps and Ashley Bledsoe both went 1-2. “Raelyn had a really good day,” Handy said. “She was on base every time, which is what you want out of a leadoff.” Freshmen come up big as tennis takes opener those are often reserved for veteran players. Carter just has moxie. He plays with a confidence that, as a coach, you have to love. He stepped up with wins in both singles and doubles, which in a 5-4 match made all the differ-ence. He is playing doubles with another freshman, Max Rappaport. They closed the deal, great win by these two.”Davie had a 4-2 cushion after singles thanks to wins from No. 3 junior Hayden Key (6-2, 6-1), Carter, No. 5 sophomore Jackson Hepler (1-6, 6-4, 10-8) and No. 6 junior Barrett Taylor (7-5, 6-2). “Hayden is as improved as anyone on our roster,” Nixon said. “The lefty is a gritty player. He mixes things up and is going to be a problem for a bunch of guys on the top side of the lineup. “Barrett played a long, grueling match. He was steady and made less mis-takes than his opponent. I am so proud of Barrett. He sort of gives our team motto, Rock Solid Tennis, a personality.”Hepler’s triumph in a third-set tiebreaker was a display of true grit. He got smashed in the first set, but was able to shake it off. “Jackson got off to a slow start, but we make a huge deal about splits,” Nixon said. “If we split sets, we expect to win. We work spe-cifically on things for that situation. So to see Jackson lose the first set and then get the win is exactly what we want if it goes that way.”The War Eagles, who are coming off a 9-8 season in which they finished fourth in the CPC but managed to ex-tend their streak of winning seasons to 13, have five guys who have starting-lineup ex-perience. No. 1 junior Zach Hill went 7-9 last year at three. No. 2 Grayson Busse went 5-3 at four and six. Key went 11-6 at three, four, five and six. Hepler went 6-6 at four, five and six. And Tay-lor went 3-0 at five. “Reynolds has a new coach, some vastly im-proved players and make for a much tougher out now,” Nixon said. “(This win) is really good news. We lost a ton of talent last year in the three guys who graduated. I wasn’t sure how we’d respond in a first outing, especially our freshmen, but consider that question answered. They are ready. We are ready.” Steinour. Central grounded to Allen at third. His throw home was low but Steinour scooped it and tagged the runner. Reliever Mason Boger struck out the next man to preserve the 6-2 lead. “(Allen) threw it home and he spiked it,” varsity coach Joey Anderson said. “Ninety percent of catchers are going to try to scoop it with their love. Tanner dropped down like he was blocking a pitch. It went off his chest and he picked it up with his bare hand. And most catchers are go-ing to try to scoop it with their glove. If he lets that ball get by, that’s two runs at our place. He’s a gritty ballplayer.”Harrison threw three hitless innings in his high school debut, offsetting five walks with the six Ks. Boger got the last six outs. Offensively, Allen went 2 for 2 with a walk. Davie got one hit from Potts (1-3, two runs), Steinour (1-2), Josh Fisher (1-2, double) and Bubby Byington (1-2, double). “Hayden swung the bat real well,” Anderson said. “Bubby swung the bat real well. He had some key de-fensive plays, too, in left field where he went into foul territory and made plays.”Coach Brandon Thala-sinos’ roster includes nine sophomores and 14 fresh-men. The sophomores are Jacob Morgan, Ayden Sanders, Byington, Allen, Joshua Whitaker, Ricky Plowman, Ryan Williams, Nate Barr and Jacob Patton. The freshmen are Ian Patton, Potts, Alex Bowles, Har-rison, Luke Foster, Blake French, Dashel Desnoyers, Ty Greene, Steinour, Nick Cannon, Fisher, Boger, Ty Sain and Landon Welch.

State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, crowned the big-gest bucks killed in North Carolina last season. Be-sides hundreds of vendors offering all manner of out-doors merchandise, the show’s biggest draw is the annual big-buck contest. Striped mullet proposals The N.C. Marine Fish-eries Commission shocked a lot of fishermen last fall when it temporarily closed the recreational harvest of striped mullet – an import-ant baitfish in North Caroli-na waters.The commission said it was trying to get a handle on falling numbers of the pedestrian little baitfish, aka finger mullet, signaling a shift to new management.The future is almost now.The commission voted for a change in plans to manage striped mullet – a plan that reduces the com-mercial harvest by 34.95 and really doesn’t affect recreational fishermen. The plan could take effect after it gets final approval at in late May.Recreational fishermen will have an individual and vessel limit of 400 fish per day, except on chartered trips, where the limit would correspond to the number of anglers on board.The commercial season for striped mullet would be closed on Saturdays and Sundays from Jan. 1-Sept. 30, and from Saturdays through Mondays Oct. 1-Dec. 31. Stop-net fishing would be managed with the same regulations as the rest of the fishery.Look for isolated coverSet apart.That’s how Shaw Grigs-by, the Hall of Fame bass pro from Gainesville, Fla., approaches targeting large-mouths when March ar-rives and spring is just around the corner.Grigsby, who gave seminars at the Central Carolina Boat & Fishing Expo in Greensboro, looks for isolated pieces of cover, things that are “set apart” from the remainder of visible shoreline cover.“Spring is coming, and fish will be starting to move shallow,” said Grigs-by, a tremendous spring-time fisherman who has won better than $2 million during a 35-year career. “I am looking for isolated trees and bushes that are out in front of the main line of cover. Fish are looking for anything like that to hold on before they go to the bank.“I remember one time, I led a tournament at Buggs Island (Lake) after the first day,” he said. “I caught all my fish on isolated cover. I caught one bass on the first bush out on the edge of a point. I caught one on a log out in the middle of a pocket – those kinds of places. That’s what I’m looking to fish.

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.

B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 7, 2024 Continued From Page B1they finished two wins shy of the all-time record. The seniors who played their final Davie games were Lawhon, Williams, Ratledge and CJ Phelps. “I told them in no way, form or fashion should they walk out of here with their head down,” Pittman said. “What they did this year has changed the culture of a county. I said: ‘Y’all had people coming to games that did not associate with Davie basketball.’ They will give me a lot of credit for it, but I can’t get it done without them, without them buying in.”Powers, a junior, de-livered 13.8 points and 10.7 rebounds, the second straight year he averaged a double-double. Mickey, a junior, was No. 2 with a 12.8 scoring average. Ratledge averaged 9.4, Lawhon 8.7, Driver 5.7 and Williams 5.4. “I thank everybody,” Pittman said. “I thank the seniors for the commitment and for helping turn the program around. They were key parts of last year’s and this year’s success. I’m ex-tremely thankful for them.”Notes: Grimsley (23-5) extended its winning streak to six. ...

Goods, who came in averaging 20.9 points and 13.7 rebounds, is eighth in the state in re-bounding. He has 25 dou-ble-doubles. Continued From Page B1 three-point play. When it was 59-53, the ball went inside to Powers, but he spotted Driver, who nailed a 3. If that didn’t take the wind out of the Nighthawks’ sails, this play did: Lawhon drove to the paint and kicked it to the right corner. Mick-ey’s 3 made it 65-53. With 2:30 left, N. Guilford was cooked. Powers was terrific, scor-ing 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting to go with eight rebounds, three assists, three steals and three blocks. Mickey (15 points, 5 assists) was a sizzling 4-of-5 from long range. Ratledge played big with 13 points, four re-bounds and two assists. “They were doing quick charge falls (against Pow-ers),” Pittman said. “So they were bumping and falling. That made (Powers) a little hesitant to try to go around the contact, which I understood. I told him don’t fade - it’s always boom and up. (Ratledge) got down-hill to his left. He posted strong and rebounded the ball well.”Driver (9 points, 4 re-bounds), Brown (5 points), Lawhon (4 points, 6 as-sists, 2 blocks), Williams (4 points, 2 assists, 2 blocks), Landon King (2 points) and Elliott Erlandsson (2 points) contributed as Davie (22-4) became just the third squad in the school’s 68-year his- tory to reach 22 victories. The other two: 23-7 in 2011-12 and 24-3 in 2018-19. “We got back to playing Davie basketball, especially on the defensive end,” Pitt-man said. “Gavin gave us good minutes. Landon did good things defensively.”Notes: N. Guilford fin-ished 17-10. ... The CPC went 3-3 in the first round. East Forsyth won 78-57 over South Caldwell and Mt. Tabor won 68-44 over Palisades.

In the quarterfinals on Feb. 24, Ellis raced to a 16-2 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The last week of the boys middle school basketball season featured two thrill-ers. North Davie won in overtime in the Tri-County Conference Tournament quarterfinals. Ellis came within a whisker of winning the tournament, losing in overtime in the champion-ship game. Ellis 51, CG 13The Jaguars smashed China Grove in the quarter-finals on Feb. 24. The blud-geoning was led by Hunter Hough, who torched the Red Devils with five 3-pointers in the first quarter and a sixth triple early in the second.

Ellis boys fall short in OT title game who averaged 3.6 points through the first 11 games. Then he scored 34 points with 10 triples over two games, including 20 points against China Grove. Josiah Warren had a sea-son-high 10. Cam James had seven. Bentley Carter and Ryan Richardson had three each. Peyton Fishel, Will Hileman, Mason Walker and Joseph Burchette all had two. “Hunter hit six straight 3s to start the game without a miss,” coach Mike Din-kins said. “Amazing. The sixth one was on the first possession in the second quarter. I’ve never had a kid shoot it like that. We got so far ahead, I ended up taking him out of the game. He only played the first two possessions of the third quarter and he did not play at all in the fourth. He’s one of the hardest-working kids we have in the gym. He’s always one of the last ones to leave.”North 44, Erwin 38 (OT)After dropping three of four at the end of the regular season, North Davie righted the ship and earned two tournament wins, including an overtime victory in the quarterfinals on Feb. 24. North trailed 21-20 at halftime. Wade Ridenhour and Levi Morales had seven each in the half and “kept us in the game,” coach Trevor Gooch said. The Wildcats were down by six with 3:38 remaining in regulation, but they were up to the challenge. Nathan Smith scored. Ridenhour banged a 3. Tannyr Carrier banked in a 3 with :33 left and the fourth ended 36-36. Carrier played hero again in overtime. Jordan scored four of North’s eight in the extra session, and Morales added two as North avenged a 43-41 loss on Jan. 16. Ridenhour and Morales finished with 12 each. Car-rier had 10, Peyton Jordan six and Smith four. “Tannyr made another magical shot (in OT) that kissed the top of the back-board for a 38-36 lead,” Gooch said. “I’m really proud of our guys for com-ing from behind for the entire game but prevailing in overtime.”Ellis 49, North 33The final doesn’t reflect it, but this was a real battle for three quarters. The third ended with Ellis ahead 32-28, but the Jaguars exploded for 17 points in the final six minutes and won going away in the semifinals on Feb. 26. Hough led with 13 as Ellis beat North (7-10) for the third time. Fishel had 12 points and 10 rebounds. James had six points and 14 rebounds. Warren had six points and 10 rebounds. Chance McLean had four points. Jordan Crowley and Graham Wood had three and Richardson two. “(Warren) played some real valuable minutes be-cause both Peyton and James missed over half the game because of foul trou-ble,” Dinkins said. North’s scoring: Riden-hour 14, Smith 8, Morales 6, Jordan 3, Jodee Rosales 2. “We played well for three quarters,” Gooch said. “Wade had a hot hand and Nathan played well in the post. I’m proud of how our guys improved during the season. I’m looking to coaching this team again next year.”North’s top four scorers for the season were Rid-enhour (8.9), Carrier (8.5), Smith (7.6) and Morales (6.8). Moor 43, Ellis 42 (OT) The championship game at Erwin on Feb. 28 was a heart-throbber. Mooresville had a nine-point lead in the third, but Ellis rallied to a one-point lead with five seconds left in overtime. It left everyone breath-less. Unfortunately for the Jaguars, they left with a coulda/shoulda loss. Dinkins said the differ-ence was the free-throw line. Ellis went 6 of 21 for the game, including five misses in OT. After digging the nine-point hole in the third, Ellis scored six straight to get back in it. Defensive intensi-ty from Hileman and Wood turned the momentum, Din-kins said. With four seconds left in the fourth, Ellis got a hero-ic, game-tying basket from Crowley. Ellis clanged three straight free throws while holding a two-point lead in OT. A Red Imp nailed a 3 to give Mooresville a 41-40 lead, but James responded with an electrifying putback to give his team a 42-41 lead with :05 left. He was fouled on the play. The free throw was no good, Mooresville threw long and a Red Imp scored an uncontested layup at :02. Ellis was excruciatingly close to the title but settled for 13-3.“We shoot (free throws) every single day,” Dinkins said. “But I’ve got to give the kids credit. We were down by nine and came back. I told them you’ve set a bar that will be hard to beat at Ellis.”Notes: James (16 points, 11 rebounds) recorded a double-double. Crowley had 12 points, Fishel nine, Hough three and Warren two. ... Mooresville’s only loss all season was 32-31 to Ellis on Jan. 25. ... Ellis’ top three scorers for the season were James (10.4), Crowley (9.7) and Fishel (7.3). Ellis girls lose in semi-finals halftime lead and bounced Corriher-Lipe 27-13. It was the third straight win for the Jaguars, who got six points each from Kinsley Harbour, Karah Shore and Ellyana Holbrook. Annabelle Wright had four, Miranda Sapp three and Jordyn Warren two. Three days later in the semifinals, Ellis fell to Sel-ma Burke for the third time in a 37-8 loss. Sapp and Wright had four points each. Ellis finished with a 9-6 record. “We had a great season, but it didn’t end the way we wanted it to,” coach Roger Blalock said.
