Hartman. Witnesses said the suspect ve-hicle drove towards Winston-Sa-lem and soon after, Winston-Sa-lem Police Department officers had located the vehicle and driver in the parking lot of an Outback Steakhouse on Highland Oaks Rainbow Fun The 14th Annual Great Bullhole Duck Race & Family Festival will be on Saturday, Aug. 10 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at RiverPark at Cooleemee Falls - The Bullhole.Hundreds of rubber ducks will be plunged into the South Yadkin near the Cooleemee Dam at 1 p.m. The first duck to reach the finish line downriver will win its “own-er” a cash prize of $300. Second place gets $200, and third $100. “RiverPark at Cooleemee Falls, The Bullhole, has become a beau-tiful destination for our local community and visitors throughout the region,” said Paul Moore, Davie Recreation & Parks director and chair of the RiverPark board. ‘It is a place that gives you an aesthet-ically pleasing escape and the best of mountain and coastal worlds combined. “Unlike many fundraisers, 100% of proceeds from this event go directly back to RiverPark. The event is fun, interactive, and filled with anticipation. If you have a single duck, a fire-quacker pack of ducks, or a flock of ducks in the race, you know exactly what excite-ment I’m talking about. Purchase your ticket(s) today or at the event. Bring your beach chairs, blankets, umbrellas, and duck tubes, and Man firing ‘random shots’ hits truck driver on I-40 Barrow Drive. They held the sus-pect until Da-vie officers arrived.Reports were received in Forsyth County that random shots were being fired from a vehicle on I-40 near the Clem-mons exits.The truck driver was taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds to the head and left shoulder, where he remained over the weekend. His condition was not available.Deputies, Hartman said, lo-cated several shell casings along Yadkinville Road.“It appears the suspect drove through Mocksville firing a hand-gun and then traveled I-40 east- bound from the Hwy. 601 exit,” Hartman reported. “The suspect then fired rounds and struck a driver and truck.”John Franklin Barrow Jr., 41, was charged with discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle and attempted murder. Addition-al charges are possible. Hartman said that Barrow lives in Win-ston-Salem, but previously lived on Whetstone Drive near Mocks-ville.“We still have not located any-thing in the city that was hit, so we are thinking he was just shoot-ing into the air,” Hartman said. He’s refused to speak with us. This case is actively under inves-tigation,” Hartman said.Anyone with information on any of the incidents is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 336-751-6238 or submit a tip at www.dcsonc.com or through the Davie County Sheriff’s Office App. spend a fantabulous day with us at RiverPark.” Before and after the race, there will be music and dancing on the beach with Emergency Music Services, and Southern Squeeze Lem-onade, SnoBiz, FruitLady, and B’s Grill will be onsite with food and sweets available for purchase. There’s only one way to win those cash prizes: buy a ticket. Sin-gle duck tickets are $10, a “Firequacker” of five sells for $40, or you can purchase a “Flock” of 15 for $100. You do not have to be present to win. Tickets are available at RiverPark at Cooleemee Falls, the Da-vie County Chamber of Commerce, Cooleemee Town Hall, Davie County Community Park, and Skinny Wheels Pedals & Pints in downtown Salisbury.

Tell us what you think The Literary Corner Renegade Writer’s Guild BoxwoodBy Linda H. BarnetteWhen I was growing up, my parents and I went to visit my dad’s parents on Hartley Road every Sunday after church. I remember the houses down the road where Papa’s sisters lived: Hamilton, Beck, Lamb and Grubb. The road then was still very much a country road with few houses and ponds and large pastures on both sides. However, Boxwood was always a mystery. I knew that it was huge and different from the others and had a large gate to keep people out. My Uncle Henry Shoaf was a groundskeep-er there, and the overseer was a Mr. English. One Christmas when he was visiting my grandparents, he gave me a little blue stove that eventually went into my playhouse.Research shows that Boxwood, named for all of the box-wood bushes, was built by William Rabb Craig (1870-1931), a wealthy New York cotton and sugar broker. He originally built a rustic hunting lodge and in time bought 1500 acres of land in the Jerusalem area. Mr. Craig and his wife, Margaret Cunningham Craig (1889-1963) would come to Salisbury via his private railroad car and be driven to Boxwood. Mr. Craig was a philanthropist, giving freely to build good roads as well as schools. In October of 1931, he became very ill and died while at his lodge.His wife was obviously not interested in the hunting lodge, so she replaced it with a large and elegant country home, where she loved to entertain. The house was 9, 304 square feet and had 8 bedrooms, 6 baths and numerous other rooms. Mrs. Craig’s mother lived with her there.In 1943 Mrs. Craig married Walter Henderson Woodson, a widower and a longtime friend, who was a wealthy attorney in Salisbury. They lived at Boxwood. When she died in 1963, her will specified that the property be sold for the benefit of the Margaret Woodson Foundation. Over the years the foun-dation has funded several schools and various other projects, and I know that our library used to get a yearly grant from it when I was on the board of trustees.The house and lands were purchased by Roy Hoffner, who had been Mrs. Woodson’s ward. After his death in 1993, his wife turned Boxwood into a B and B but then sold it. Most recently, I think it has been a wedding venue.The lodge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The AbilityBy Stephanie Williams DeanI never expected to be “good” at anything.What I did expect from myself – was the willingness to try.Recently someone told me she had no ability and wasn’t good at anything. She couldn’t paint, draw, write, or play mu-sic. So, I inquired as to if she’d ever taken lessons or classes or tried some new activities. She had not. Folks, I’ve gone all my life without drawing because I be-lieved I couldn’t draw. That was until about ten years ago when I first sat in front of a blank canvas with a paintbrush in my hand. I was taking a lesson – and I’ve been painting ever since. For many artists and musicians – ability was obvious from the beginning.When my son took his first piano lesson, his teacher told me he would be a good musician – and he was. So for him, talent was obvious from the beginning. But maybe it wouldn’t have been obvious if he hadn’t gone for that first lesson and then continued with training. And what about these young kids who can draw magnif-icently at age 5 – once again, ability is often obvious from the start. But for many of us – we never knew what abilities God had bestowed upon us. It took a lifetime before we even re-alized it. And then by divine intervention, some of us have managed to stumble upon these gifts in our later years. I was in my late 50s when I realized I could draw – and going on 70 before discovering I might have a natural ear for music. But then you still have to work at it. You can’t just try something one time and then say, I can’t do that. You have to stay with it. And the best part is knowing you only have yourself to please.So, friends, don’t ever say you’re not good at anything if you haven’t tried. If I can discover a few small abilities at my age – anyone can. And you’re never too old, and it’s never too late. The BaptistBy E. BishopMention the word and I begin to panic. No, I do not want to have any doctor visits at the Baptist (hospital), don’t want to have to visit anyone there; it seems impossible to find my way through the maze of hallways, not to mention finding a parking spot and then remembering where I parked. Maybe I’m getting too old or just can’t read directions. Recently, I had to do just that - find my way - so I could be there for a family member. Even with all the construction that seems to continually happen at the Hawthorne hospital location, I do have to admit that it was not quite so bad after all.Of course, while sitting in the hospital room several days, I had time to reflect and think of many things. One of those things was the history of the hospital itself. In May, 2023, the hospital celebrated 100 years of healing and teaching. It has grown tremendously, continues to expand, has gone through name changes, has led the way in many medical fields and is a nationally known leader in research and medical education. Today, it is the fifth largest nonprofit health system in the US created from the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, part of Advocate Health (headquarters in Charlotte, NC). Information garnered came from historical data through the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist website. The Wake Forest School of Medicine was founded in 1902 as a two year medical school on the campus of Wake Forest College (in Wake Forest NC). In September, 1920, land in the Ardmore section of Winston-Salem with a large enough tract to expand (11.2 acres) was acquired; only two streets were paved at that time - Hawthorne Rd and Queen Street. Only two houses were across from this area. NCBH opened in 1923 with the first class of 15 student nurses with only ten completing the course. Funny tidbit - in the 20’s, a short, chic-length haircut was popular for women; but the nursing students were not allowed to have short hair at the time! One day, a notice went up stating “all students who think they will be better looking with short hair may have it cut.” By 5 pm that day, most nurses on duty had already cut their hair.In 1941, the medical school expanded to four years and moved to Winston-Salem from Wake Forest. There is a break-down by decades of the remarkable achievements that have taken place at this institution. In 1957, the medical center be-came the first in NC to use cobalt to treat cancer patients. In 1964, the first hand re-implantation in the US was performed; 1983 saw the first MRI system installed in the state at an ac-ademic center; first in the nation to use transcranial athero-sclerotic ultrasounds to measure atherosclerotic buildup on the walls of the carotid artery. Brenner’s Children’s Hospital opens in 1986. Medical Center surgeons perform the first single-lung transplant in NC in 1989. The 1990’s brought recognition by the National Cancer Institute that WFU was a Comprehensive Cancer Center; in 2001 ground is broken for the new OP Cancer Center that is there today. First Gamma Knife installed in 1999. And the list continues on into the 2000’s for new advancements in all areas of medicine with more than 19,000 employees and many buildings on over 428 acres in various locations. As Davie County residents, we are fortunate to have two of those building sites with easy access to care close to home, those being the replacement hospital and primary care/walk-in clinic. So, I can’t complain too bad if I have to go to ‘the Baptist’ once in a while. I know I will be in good hands; and if I get lost, I’ll just give that confused look knowing some-one will help me. Most of us (At least the ones of us who are beyond the expected half way point of our lives.) have experienced it.For me, it’s hanging over my ears. It doesn’t hurt anyone else, and it makes me feel better about myself.Yes, the mid-life (or beyond) crisis that men experience can be strange. They can also be helpful. And funny. And entertaining.Just ask Daryl Rosenbaum. He’s becoming the master of all three - and you can be a part of it.The Mocksville resident has written a musical, “Admis-sion,” and auditions will be held from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Satur-day at the Brock Performing Arts Center in Mocksville. Get audition details at: admissionmusical@gmail.com. Perfor-mances are scheduled for late October.“I have had a strang mid-life crisis that led me to write a musical,” he said. “It is actually pretty good, enough that I am now compelled to share it with an audience.”The Davie County Arts Council is supporting his effort, and Ignite Davie will be a beneficiary.A win-win-win.It’s Rosenbaum’s first entry into producing a musical, and naturally, he’s worried. Will anybody show up for auditions? Make him proud. Adults and teens are welcome to audition, so give it a try.“We are looking for a cast of adult and teen actors to bring an original musical to life,” he said. “If you would be excited by the challenge of originating a role and collaborating as a team to stage a world premier, please consider auditioning. Behind the scenes help would be welcome, too.”Daryl has been promoting his musical for a few years now, and it has fared well at festivals of new musicals, reaching second place last year at a Texas event.“This original musical comedy pokes fun at the ocllge ad-missions frenzy while examining themes of the modern par-ent-child relationship and the nature of privilege in its various forms,” he said. “A mother has high hopes and dark fears for her teenage son’s future, but he is just trying to figure out how to survive the day on front of him.“As they stumble their way through the absurdity that is the college admissions arms race, Mom is tempted again and again to push the envelope. How far will she go to buldoze a safe path for her son in these uncertain times?“Their journey takes them from the office of a corner-cut-ting guidance counselor to an admissions pitch turned revival and a discomfiting encounter with a pack of know-it-alls on a campus tour to the tentacles of a mercenary advisor.”Wow. Any family who has been through this process knows the anguish it can cause.“Will building tension threaten the complex bond between parent and child?”The score is rich with humor and hooks, and explores the family duynamic which, in turn, may shine a light on your own experiences.“Admit it, you might do it too,” Daryl said.Benjamin Dean Taylor is helping Daryl with musican scores.Daryl is a faculty member at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, which may have helped him write the musical. In addition to being a founding member of an a ca-pella singing group at the university, his teaching style is any-thing but normal.He is notorious for using improv comedy, role play, and music to keep students engaged.Rosenbaum has written numerous health literacy articles, and has had 17 peer-reviewed scientific papers published. His research interests range from concussions to medical educa-tion but the study that garnered the most attention proved that men are far more guilty than women when it comes to faking injuries in soccer.Hey, with a style such as this, “Admission” has to be a hit.“I enjoyed this script and the music clips provided added interest,” said a judge from the Tyler (Texas) Civic Theatre New Plays Festival. “I could definitely see this show being staged and audiences finding it quite appealing, expecially older teens and their parents, as well as those who’ve al-ready endured the great collegte admissions crapshoot. I was amused reading this script, fun, thoughtful, wry and easy to envision.”That’s a pretty good endorsement for a play that hasn’t reached a stage yet.And you can be a part of the first show. Just show up Sat-urday for the auditions.- Mike Barnhardt College admissions process is focus of Mocksville man’s original musical By Dean RidingsCEO, American Newspapers It is no secret that Google has secured a near monopoly in the search and local advertising world. However, the impact on newspapers hasn’t been quite as obvious.A number of lawsuits have recently been brought that call Google to task for its practices. The lawsuits signal the gov-ernment’s acknowledgement of Google’s unfair practices and initiates steps to hold them accountable.The first suit, an antitrust action filed by the Justice De-partment in October, accuses Google of abusing its position over smaller rivals by operating like an illegal monopoly through exclusionary agreements that hurt consumers and competitors. The second suit, an antitrust suit filed in mid-De-cember, alleges that the company stifled competition and en-joys monopolistic power, specifically as it relates to digital advertising. The third suit, filed just days after the second suit by 38 U.S. states and territories, accuses Google of abusing market power to maintain search engine dominance. The suit doesn’t seek monetary damages, but seeks broader remedies and an order to end any agreements or behavior it finds to be exclusionary.But why does this matter, and what does it mean to you or to your community?Almost everyone uses Google. It has become part of our lives, and Google used this to its advantage. Google games the marketplace through search algorithms to its financial gain. The result is an uneven and often unfair playing field for small and local businesses. At a time when local businesses are struggling to overcome the impacts of COVID, the need to be able to compete fairly has never been greater.But what it means to local news, including this newspaper, is that Google uses content from newspapers and other news providers without compensation. If you use Google to seek information about current events in your community, chances are, the results will be from your local newspaper and other news providers. Google monetizes the content produced by the publishers, creating more problems for an industry al-ready challenged as a result of changing news consumption habits in an internet-connected world.The shift to digital readership has been inevitable. Howev-er, the use of locally produced content by Google without ad-equate compensation has accelerated a financial crisis in the newspaper industry - forcing newspapers to make reductions. If the local newspaper goes away, Google doesn’t replace the content. It just has less viable responses to searches for local information. The ultimate result is significantly diminished coverage in local communities on the issues that matter most — local government, schools, health, environment and all the issues that impact local citizens day-in and day-out.A successful newspaper is critical to the health of a com-munity. Encourage representatives in Congress to support action to require Google to play by the rules and fairly com-pensate newspapers for the content they develop. If Google is allowed to continue its unfair practices, there is no passing go or collecting $200 as it continues to monopolize the board.America’s Newspapers is committed to explaining, de-fending and advancing the vital role of newspapers in de-mocracy and civil life. We put an emphasis on educating the public on all the ways newspapers contribute to building a community identity and the success of local businesses.

Davie County Veterans Services provides support to veterans and is staffed by Veterans Services Officer (VSO), Meagan Tomlin. Services provided are free and the office is funded by Davie County; not the VA or federal government.The program aims to en-sure that veterans receive the benefits and resources they deserve for their service to the country, including ac-cessing healthcare, educa-tion, disability, pension, and burial benefits. The program assists veterans in navigating the complexities of the VA system, filing claims, and ap-pealing decisions. As a former military spouse, Tomlin has sat on the opposite side of the desk and has seen the challenges veterans face when seeking benefits. Since 2022, Da-vie veterans have received benefits valued at more than $39 million. “Benefits are available for veterans, their dependents and surviving spouses. My job is to educate so these benefits are provid-ed to those who are entitled to them,” said Tomlin. The Monthly Veterans Social is hosted by Senior Services, Veterans Services and Trellis Supportive Care. Veterans are encouraged to attend on the first Thursday of each month for socializa-tion and refreshments.

Catawba College an-nounced the establishment of the Lynn Jones ’74 and Jim Moore ’74 Endowed Schol-arship Fund, initiated by Jim Moore with an inaugural gift, commemorates the cou-ple’s 50th college reunion and honors the memory of Lynn Jones Moore, a mem-ber of the class of 1974.The fund will provide fi-nancial support to students who demonstrate financial need and maintain good ac-ademic standing. The schol-arship will prioritize candi-dates majoring in education, followed by those majoring in the Ketner School of Busi-ness, and then those major-ing in psychology.“We are deeply grateful to Jim for his gift,” said Meg Dees, Catawba’s Vice Presi-dent of Development. “This scholarship will ensure that Lynn’s legacy of compassion and commitment to educa-tion lives on, while also sup-porting future generations of Catawba students in achiev-ing their academic and pro-fessional goals.”Lynn graduated with a psychology degree and went back to get her education de-gree in 1975. She obtained her Master of Arts in Ed-ucation from Wake Forest in 1981. In her 30 years of teaching, Lynn taught al-most every grade K-12 in the Davie and Forsyth County school systems and finished as a gifted teacher. She of-fered courses through the state for teachers wanting Gifted Service Licensure. In 1992, she was Teacher of the Year at Mocksville Middle.Jim came to Catawba from Mount Holly, N.J. He graduated with a bache-lor’s degree in general busi-ness and then went to work for Caudell Lumber Co. in Mocksville. He helped man-age the Independent Builder Supply company for 23 years prior to deciding to get his education degree. He served in the Davie County School system as a high school busi-ness education teacher. Jim later received a master’s de-gree in education from East Carolina University in 2005.Jim and Lynn married the day before graduation so they could stand together in the graduation line. Together they had a daughter, Jennifer.In 2008, the couple re-tired to Ocean Isle Beach where Lynn worked for the Brunswick Community Col-lege GED program and Jim was a business education computer teacher for five years for South Brunswick High School.Throughout Jim and Lynn’s service with com-munity organizations, they developed a life philosophy that “if you live in a com-munity and have benefited from it, you should always be willing to give something back to it.” The creation of this scholarship will contin-ue that legacy.For more information about this scholarship, to make a contribution, contact: development@catawba.edu or 704.637.4394.

The Phillies since they released him: 4-12. The Braves since his first start: 3-0. The Phillies released Merrifield on July 12. They haven’t won a series since, dropping seven of eight games through Aug. 2. Merrifield signed with Atlanta on July 22 but injured a finger on his throwing hard in pregame warmups on the same day. He came off the bench and stole a base in a 3-2 loss to the Mets on July 25, but he was recovered and able to make his first start in a Braves uniform on Aug. 1. He batted ninth and went 0 for 3 in a 4-2 Atlanta win. Merrifield played a significant role in Friday’s 5-3 win over the Marlins. With Atlanta trailing 3-1 in the bottom of the sixth, he tripled down the right-field line, the ball barely landing in fair territory. He would score on a groundout to cut By Brian PittsEnterprise Record A look back at Davie sports 25 years ago ... After enduring two excruciating extra-inning losses to West Forsyth, the third-seeded Davie softball team knocked off the No. 1 Titans in the CPC Tournament final, 6-3. Coach Tammy Reavis could thank clutch hitting from Dana Smith, Ashley Bracken and Tina Harkness and strong pitching from Jessica Whitley. Smith’s single plated the game’s first two runs, and Bracken’s hit up the gut made it 4-0. Harkness tightened Davie’s grip to 6-2 by roping a two-run hit in the seventh inning. “I said (to Hark-ness): ‘There’s no pressure, we’re up two runs,’” Reavis said. “She said: ‘I eat pressure for breakfast.’”The blazing fast Kenny Collins won CPC track athlete of the year for the second time after winning titles in the 110 hurdles (14.9 seconds) and 300 hurdles (39.8). Sophomore Nick Propst, who could leap small By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie County now has three guys playing professional basketball. Owen McCormack of Advance recently became No. 3; of course, the other two are Caleb Martin (Phil-adelphia 76ers) and Cody Martin (Charlotte Hornets). McCormack, a smooth 6-9, 245-pounder who handles the ball like a guard, is heading overseas af-ter signing a one-year contract with the Bristol Flyers, who play in the European North Basketball League. “I’m not over there yet, so it’s still kind of new and doesn’t feel real yet,” he said. “I bet when I’m on the plane it definitely will sink in.”McCormack has a permanent place in Davie lore by being the lead-ing scorer on the winningest team in program history. The 2018-19 War Eagles went 24-3 overall and 10-0 in the CPC, reached the third round of the state playoffs and displayed the most balance you’re ever going to see. McCormack averaged 13.6 points, Michael Walton 13, Jacob Hendrix 12.5, Troy Griggs 10.5 and Brooks Johnson 8. Those five never flinched in pressure situations, going 10-0 in games decided by six points By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Lindsey Adams’ girls have ascended from doormat to contender, and now opportunity is practically knocking the door down. The War Eagles went 3-9 in Adams’ first season as the Davie girls basketball coach, which was three more wins than they had the year before. They crawled out of the wilderness in 2021-22, going 9-14. They kept the trend going with a 13-13 finish in 2022-23. They increased their win total for the fourth consecutive year in 2023-24 by going 16-12. It marked the most wins in seven years and the best Central Piedmont Conference finish (third place) in seven years. They reached the CPC Tournament championship game for the first time in 21 years. But the best is yet to come. Malayka Rankin, who led Davie in scoring at 10.3 per game, and Peyton Spaugh (7.7) graduated, but everybody else will be back. Considering there won’t be a senior on the 2024-25 squad, the future feels almost limitless. “If the stars align, I think we can win the CPC this year,” said Ad-ams, who is trying to guide Davie to its first league title since 2003. “A lot of the top CPC players graduated. Our nonconference games are going to be a lot tougher. We’re playing Northern Guilford (which beat Davie in the first round of the playoffs the past two years) and Watauga, two top teams in the state, to hopefully prepare us to make a run in the state playoffs.”Davie has added quite a bit of momentum during the offseason. “We went to Davidson, we went to (UNC) Wilmington, we went to Queens and we went to the North Meck scrimmages,” Adams said. “Those freshmen held their own (last) year on varsity, but when they went back to playing against their age division for AAU in the spring, most of them were dominating. It was a lot easier because they weren’t playing against 17 and 18 year olds; they’re playing 15 year olds.”Adams will have seven varsity returners next season. Avarie Martin is the top returning scorer after averaging 8.7 as a freshman. “Avarie has come a long ways,” Adams said. “She has a lot of D-I interest because of her athleticism. In the offseason, she’s gained weight and muscle mass. Now she’s playing up with 16 and 17 year McCormack signs to play professional basketball overseas or less. McCormack got the opportunity to play Division-I ball at Presbyte-rian. In his senior year for the Blue Hose, he started 30 of 32 games and averaged 7.7 points and 4.1 rebounds. He decided to use his graduate year at Lipscomb in Nash-ville, Tenn. McCormack helped the Bisons to 20 wins by averaging 9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists. “I probably had my best year (at Lipscomb),” he said of the 20-12 season. “I had some really good games and started the whole year. It was a great year team-wise, it was really fun.”“Me and Denise went to watch him play against Austin Peay,” said Mike Absher, who coached at Davie for 19 years (2002-21) “He played really good that day and I told De-nise when we got in the car: ‘I’ll tell you what, he can play overseas.’ She said: ‘You think so?’ I said: ‘Oh, yeah, I do.’ I talked to Owen after their season and said: ‘What are you thinking?’ He goes: ‘Oh, I’m gonna try to do it.’ Drew (Absher, Mike’s oldest son) has three buddies from VMI who play overseas. I’m no ex-pert at this stuff, but after watching him play at Lipscomb, I was like: Please See Pro - Page 4 25 years ago: Collins was blazing fast on the track Adams aiming for CPC basketball title in ‘24-25 Please See Title - Page B4 Merrifield a curse for the Phillies? Please See Merrifield - Page B3 buildings, captured first in the triple jump and high jump and earned CPC field athlete of the year. An-other Davie champion was Truman Kiser, who won the pole vault at 12-7. The foursome of Ryan Barnes, Andrayous Arnold, Marshall Pitts and Collins won the 1600 relay. For the Davie girls, sophomore sensation Samantha Murillo won the 400, and Lauren Poplin, Jerrine Peeler, Stace Joyner and Janel Darcy triumphed in the 3200 relay. In the Midwest Regional, Col-lins’ star grew brighter as he earned gold medals in both hurdles. Propst had a blissful day as well by winning the high jump and taking third in the long and triple jumps. Sophomore Jhockton Dalton and Greg Lanier qualified for the state by finishing fourth in the discus and the 1600, re-spectively. For the girls, the red-hot Murillo ruled the 400 at 58.9, and the relay team of Poplin, Joyner, Darcy and Peeler added to their glorious season by claiming the 800 relay. In the Midwest Regional at Bryan Park in Greensboro, Davie’s gifted freshman golfer, Ryan Knoll, turned heads with a 7-over 79. Davie’s top four included Josh Lackey’s 81 and 86s from Shawn Brooks and John Landen. Davie’s graduation prevented Collins from chasing a state title at UNC-Charlotte. Davie still made noise in the state meet as Murillo fin-ished third in the 400, Propst fourth in the long jump at 22-3 and Dalton seventh in the discus at 134-10. Matt Moser and Richard Broad-way made sure Sean Garnett was victorious in his debut as Davie var-sity boys soccer coach. Moser scored the game’s first goal and Broadway headed in the go-ahead goal as Davie slipped past North Iredell 2-1. Goal-ie Chris Stein and defenders Jason Shrewsbury, Nick Goughnour, Jason Winters and David Wooldridge were major contributors. “(Stein) made an awesome save with about two minutes left on a one-on-one,” Garnett said. Tailback Ricky White carried 27 times for 162 yards, fullback Justin Goode averaged 8.8 yards on five attempts and Wooldridge drilled a 47-yard field goal as Davie’s varsity football team staved off Mooresville 13-7. A key play: Michael Burton replaced a banged up Thadd Johnson at receiver and caught a 35-yard pass from Drew Ridenhour. “I was just like a white-boy decoy,” Burton said. Linebackers Jon Goode and Kyle Gustafson were dynamite in the JV football team’s 6-0 win at West Forsyth. “At times it looked like they were trying to see which one could lay the best lick on somebody,” coach Lee Linville said. The only score was QB Dan Sullivan’s 1-yard plunge. Goode and Adam Sain had interceptions. In an eighth-grade football game, South Davie rallied late for a 20-14 overtime win over North Da-vie. South’s game-tying drive was breathtaking. Down by six, Andrew McClannon hooked up with Billy Riddle for 20 yards to the North 2. After South got stuffed the next three plays, Mitchell Roberts scored on fourth down with :12 on the clock. North stopped the two-point try to Please See 25 - Page b3 Owen McCormack has signed to play professionally for a team in England. - Submitted Photos Davie girls attended an Indiana Fever game in July.

Parker August 12, 2024 The (K) Clues Are for Kids Finish to a singles match? 51-A) I DO Previous riddle answer: Continued From Page B1the deficit to one. In the bottom of the eighth, Atlanta got a leadoff walk and Merrifield followed with a sac bunt, which led to the Braves tying the score at 3. Merrifield went 1 for 1 with a walk as Atlanta extended their winning streak to four. Merrifield got another hit on Saturday, going 1 for 4, but the Braves fell short 4-3 to remain five games behind Philly in the National League East. Nacho Alvarez’s struggles have allowed Merrifield to play every day. The rookie was serving as injured Ozzie Albies’ replacement at second, but he was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett after going 3 for 30 in his first action in the big leagues. Continued From Page B1force OT, but the Wildcats fell a foot short of the goal line on a fourth-down play on the first possession of OT. On fourth down for South, McClannon hit halfback Maurice Wilson in the flats and he sliced through traffic to clinch the victory. North’s Brandon Pane (nine carries for 114 yards, 14 tackles) more than held up his end of the bargain. White rushed for 100 yards and three TDs as Davie’s varsity rolled 37-8 at North Iredell. The most exciting play came from the beastly punter, Zeke Earle, who faked a punt from Davie’s 22 and rumbled 78 yards. Mikey Arnold had an INT as Davie improved to 3-0. In a seventh-grade football game, Anton McNeil was at the heart of South Davie’s 22-6 win over North Davie. The juke artist fielded a bad snap on a punt and dashed 82 yards, and he only needed four carries to gain 109 yards. Michael Mashore completed three passes to Cooter Arnold, totaling 91 yards. “That’s something you can’t draw up on the board,” coach Barry Whitlock said of McNeil’s 82-yarder. The Davie soccer team’s sophomore speedster, Sean Stevens, did it all in a 3-2 win over Forbush. His goal with 10 minutes left tied the game at 2, and his third goal with five minutes to go clinched victory. Jeremy Howell and Wooldridge had assists. “He is so fast,” Garnett said of Stevens. Victor Patti and Skipp Crider lifted Mocksville Legion baseball to a giddy 11-6 home win over Rowan County, which had won the previous 15 meetings. Crider homered and drove in five runs, but let’s give extra credit to Patti, a lefthander who struck out 11 and worked around 13 hits in a complete game for the ages. He whiffed five of the last eight batters and fired 185 pitches. Holy cow. “His changeup was incredible,” coach Mike Lovelace said. Patti said: “My pitch count was on up there, but my arm felt good and I wanted this one.” Steve LeFaivre reached base four times and raised his average to a mind-boggling .571 (16-28). Ridenhour supplied two hits as the 3-4-5 batters (LeFaivre, Ridenhour, Crider) went a combined 7 for 12 with nine RBIs. Merrifield ... 25 ...

B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 8, 2024 Continued From Page B1‘Man, he just keeps getting better and he can do this.’ I base that on guys that Drew played with at VMI. They got overseas contracts and I’m thinking: ‘Owen’s as good as they were. If they can get one, he can get one.’” McCormack again: “I had some looks after (2022-23 at Presbyterian) before everyone knew I was using my fifth year. I had some agents hit me up. But this year I had a really good year and I had a bunch of agents wanting to talk to me. It’s a weird process - you just leave it in their hands and they take care of it from there. Pro ... All of a sudden I was getting a call and I’m signing with a team in England.”McCormack will fly to Bristol, England on Aug. 31. “Our season goes from the middle of September til the playoffs in May,” he said. “This team plays in the top British league and in an international league. So I’ll end up playing 52 games. They’re telling me over there I’ll be too small to play center, so I’m going to be mainly a stretch four. I’m looking forward to it.”“There are three tiers and this team (Bristol) is in the top tier,” Absher said. What if a pro basketball opportunity hadn’t presented itself? “I guess I’d be getting ready for a regular 9-to-5 and grunt it out like everyone else,” McCormack said. “I was about to do that, but my parents said: ‘A job doesn’t go anywhere. You can’t play basketball forever.’ So I’m going to try it out for a little bit and see how it goes.”•••Absher, who is the all-time winningest coach for Davie boys with 245 victories, is loving life at the beach. Mike and Denise live at Sunset Beach and he is heading into his fourth year at South-eastern Christian Academy in Shallotte. Absher was an assistant for Tommy Johnson for two years, but then John-son “had to move back to Wilkes,” Absher said. Absher was approached about taking the head job and he accepted. The 2023-24 season was a blast, the War-riors going 18-4 with Absher calling the shots. “Yeah, I tricked ‘em and we were 18-4,” he said with a laugh. “We had a good little team, and I’m going to do it one more year. We’ve got a young (coach) and I told them: ‘Look, I’m 62. I’m not your long-term answer.’ I can give it another go, and hope-fully this young guy will be able to step in next summer.”Absher is also serving as athletic director. “The pastor who was the AD said: ‘Mike, could you be the AD?’” he said. “This is a little private school, but this place is growing like crazy. We’ve grown from three sports to nine (since 2021).”Mike’s younger son, Da-vis, is coaching varsity boys basketball in a big-time 4-A conference - at Cox Mill in Concord. Davis, who helped Davie make the greatest playoff run ever in 2011-12 by reach-ing the regionals, got his head-coaching start at Ashe County. After two years in the mountains, he and his wife moved to Concord. Last year Cox Mill went 13-14 overall, 6-6 in the league and finished fourth behind Lake Norman (11-1 conference record), Hickory Ridge (9-3) and Mooresville (8-4). “Leaky Black and Wendell Moore (who played for North Carolina and Duke, respec-tively, after attending Cox Mill) come into their gym,” M. Absher said. “It’s a great place, but a tough place to win. They love living there.” Title ... Continued From Page B1year olds on an AAU team, and she’s performing very well. I look for her to be our leading scorer this year.”Bailey Aderhold averaged 8.2 points as a sophomore, Emmie Burris averaged 7.8 as a freshman and Madison Daugherty 6.2 as a freshman. “Bailey’s shot is looking a lot better,” she said. “She’s been hitting more consistent-ly. I told her we need you to be 30-35 percent 3-point shooter. We’re able to get her shot off because we have Avarie, Emmie, Makenzie Gentry and Gracie Shore, and all of them are scoring threats. “Emmie played AAU with us and she hit two game-win-ners over the summer. She hit one at Wilmington team camp. She has that ice in her veins.“Madison’s confidence and leadership have come a long way. She’s very vocal. She knows what my expecta-tions are. We don’t have any rising seniors and I didn’t know how the leadership aspect would go, but Madi-son and Vivian have picked that up, along with Londyn. Those three are kind of our vocal leaders when I need somebody to get the team where they need to be or com-municate with them.”Makenzie Gentry missed her entire freshman season and the first 20 games of her sophomore season with knee injuries. But all that adversity and misery is in the rearview mirror now. “She’s shooting the ball like she never (missed a year and a half),” Adams said. “She has no fear. You’d think somebody coming off two in-juries would favor their knee and have some fear, but she has zero fear. Her spark, in-tensity and quickness is some-thing that can’t be matched by the other players.”Vivian Vaughters had a 10-point, 10-rebound game as a freshman. Londyn McDow- ell put together an 11-point, seven-rebound, 5-for-5 shoot-ing game as a freshman. “You can always county on Vivian’s defense and en-ergy to be there,” she said. “She’s one of our main vocal leaders, and her offense has come a very, very long way. When she’s able to chip in 8-10 points helps us so much. “Londyn played AAU for me and coach (Debbie) Evans this spring, and she’s been working with a trainer to develop her post moves. Her confidence and IQ of the game have taken her a long ways. Teams can’t really go zone on us because we’ll shoot the 3 or give it to Avarie at the high post, and Avarie and Londyn work very well together at the high post and short corner.”A transfer has only added to the sky-high expectations. Lexie Mickey, the sister of rising senior Bryson Mickey of the Davie boys, has come over from Calvary. “She has a very high bas-ketball IQ,” she said. “I think her and Emmie play very similar. She played all sum-mer with us and she’s another (scoring) threat.”It’s hard to imagine Da- vie’s upward trajectory slow-ing down anytime soon be-cause of the incoming fresh-men. Gracie Shore, Gracyn Coleman and Olivia Smith were the primary weapons for the Ellis team that went 17-0 last winter. “Gracie was the starting point guard all summer,” Adams said. “She’s definitely got the basketball IQ and the talent. A lot of her turnovers came from just being a second or two behind. It was a perfect idea, it was the right idea. She still drives with confidence just like she did in middle school. She averaged 9-11 points a game for us, which is not bad for a rising freshman, and she also averaged five or six assists. “Gracyn’s an athlete, su-per intense, looking to fill Peyton Spaugh’s shoes with defensive effort. “It’s an adjustment for (Olivia) with the physicality and pace, but you can’t leave her open on the 3-point line because that’s what she does. She has very high offensive IQ and she can pick a defense apart. We’ve got to continue to work on her defense at the varsity level because I want to play man to man.” • Upcoming Games • Monday, Aug. 19Davie varsity soccer at Southeast Guilford at 6 Davie tennis at home vs. Reynolds at 4:30Tuesday, Aug. 20Davie varsity volleyball at South Iredell at 6:30Davie JV volleyball at South Iredell at 5 Wednesday, Aug. 21Davie varsity soccer at home vs. Statesville at 7Davie JV soccer at home vs. Statesville at 5:30Davie tennis at home vs. East Forsyth at 4:30Thursday, Aug. 22Davie JV football at home vs. Mooresville at 6:30Friday, Aug. 23Davie varsity football at Mooresville at 7Saturday, Aug. 24Davie cross country in Providence Invitational at McAlpine Park in Charlotte Center Methodist ChurchPRESCHOOL 2024-2025 PRE-SCHOOL ENROLLMENT 3 and 4 Year Old ClassesMonday-Thursday CALL: 336-580-4531 or 336-671-0589 WAYS TO ENROLL Owen McCormack was the top scorer for Davie’s winningest team in 2018-19. He played five years at the college level before landing a pro contract. Coach Lindsey Adams’ basketball players have had a busy offseason in preparation for 2024-25. DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 8, 2024 - B5Davie American Little League Player Spotlights Braxton Sanderlin of the coach pitch Grizzlies got to show off his skills at first base. Although his division doesn’t keep score, Braxton prevented runs from being scored, helping his team learn baseball fundamentals. His adaptabilitye and great attitude make him a fantastic teammate. Whit Woodring of the Hot Rods has done an awesome job grow- ing skills in his first season of coach pitch. He’s learning batting skills and finding the right pitch to make hits. He makes plays at first base and shortstop. Whit is polite and respectful to coaches and teammates and follows directions. Hayden Noel of the coach pitch Heavy Hitters played the defensive game of her life. Her glove was on fire, which resulted in her making several outs playing pitcher, and she even caught a pop fly. Hayden also went 4 for 4, getting some great hits. Owen Wall stepped over from his Challeng- er Team to play with the minor Braves as a sub. He went 2 for 2, along with stealing second, third and home to score the Braves’ first run. His enthusiasm never dropped and he stayed game ready, even in the rain, pumping his team up and showing his love for the game. Malachi Scales of the Rockhounds has done great learning baseball in his first season of T-ball. He has a long, hard throw and does very well hitting the ball. Malachi has been learning how to play first base and has really done awesome. Grayson Powell of the machine pitch Ironbirds had an incredible game, going 1 for 2 with a run scored. Grayson made spectacular catches as catcher and helped start a four-run rally in the sixth inning. Chevy Williams of the coach pitch Car- olina Barbies hit her first home run. She hustled the entire game and put her skills to work. Chevy works hard on and off the field. Her dedication and love for the game make her a great teammate. Liam Montgomery of the coach pitch Iron Pigs went 3 for 3 in a victory. He’s learned so much and is improving every game. Havoc won the 6th-9th grade volleyball championship at Davie Recreation & Parks. Team members include, from left: front - Shea Barney, Riley Tagnani, Calie Strickland, Meredith Diaz; back - Coach Amanda Barney, Chloe Hinson, Emms Hinson, Ashley Cockerham, Skylar Brooks, Kaydee Keaton and Assistant Coach Tyler Kilmer.
