War Eagle football team to face tough test on Friday night 89076 3821260Special Section Inside Be Careful Davie Schools start Wednesday; watch for buses and students By Jeanna Baxter White Word Master Media Group Knowledge is a powerful tool, especially in education. This month, seven teach-ers from Davie County Schools took on the role of students and learned about local businesses. Their goal was to understand the skills employers need, so they can better prepare students for careers and support the growth of local businesses. Over four days, these teachers visited Davidson-Davie Com-munity College, Dunlop Aircraft Tyres, Fuller Welding & Fabrica-tors, Hayward Pool (manufactur-ing and distribution centers), Pro Refrigeration, REEB, Trailers of the East Coast, and the Davie County Sheriff’s Office, 911 Center, and Emergency Medical Services. The partnership between the David Koontz, Davie Coun- ty Schools new CTE and federal programs direc- tor, takes a turn driving an 18-wheeler at David- son-Davie Community Col- lege’s truck driver training. Several Davie High School teachers get an up-close look at the operations at Dunlop Aircraft Tyres, one of several businesses they visited to learn how they operate, and what skills employees need for jobs there. - Photos by Jeanna Baxter WhiteProgram gives teachers a glimpse of industry needs schools, the Davie County Eco-nomic Development Commission (DCEDC), and local businesses aims to introduce students to a range of careers and technolog-ical needs in the community. Through these summer extern-ships focused on Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Science, Technology, Engineer-ing, and Math (STEM), teachers reconnect with industry practices and technologies, as well as the essential soft skills needed for success. Carolyn McManamy, director of Davie CONNECT, praised the initiative.“The summer externship is a significant collaborative effort. It allows educators to see firsthand the relevance of the curriculum they teach and how it applies in real-world settings. This is cru-cial because the more our teach-ers understand, the better they can inform students about educational and career opportunities. “The relationships built with our business community through these externships are invaluable. We aim to have our businesses and schools work closely with our students so they better grasp the connection between education and careers,” McManamy said. This workforce development initiative began in 2014, funded by a $50,000 grant from the Me-bane Charitable Foundation as part of DCEDC's five-year eco-nomic growth strategy, "Together We Are Davie." Seeing its value, DCEDC continued to support the program.DCEDC President Terry Bral-ley said: “Each summer, teachers learn from industry leaders about available job opportunities and the educational requirements for Please See Externship - Page 4 By Jim BuiceEnterprise Record BERMUDA RUN - Remem-ber the excitement created by the recent highway project rankings for the 2026-2035 State Trans-portation Improvement Program (STIP) Development Plan when a Bermuda Run project was ranked No. 1 on the list?Well, a detour involving fund-ing issues has come up.That means Project H184620, which calls for widening NC 801 to a multi-lane roadway from Oak Valley Boulevard to US 158 with bike lanes and sidewalks at a cost to NCDOT of $73.3 million – and no local match – is on hold along with other contenders in the pro-cess.Pat Ivey, NCDOT Division 9 engineer, and John Rhyne, depu-ty director, gave presentations at last week’s town council meeting here.

A recent addition to the Davie County Early College High School campus, the spirit rock will serve as a canvas for announcements, ex-pressions of school pride, and student celebrations. Earlier this year, Nathaniel Stephens, DCECHS support specialist, started the six-month process of choosing a rock for the school, with the help of staff at Vulcan Materials. “I wanted something our school could make our own; a symbol that lets others know that there is another high school here,” Stephens said. “Many people across the county don’t even know we are here or they have misconceptions about who we actually are.” This eye-catching monolith puts one of Davie County’s smallest schools on the map. “We are a high school with students who happen to be able to get Standing on the rock Early college addition a symbol of a ‘hidden gem’ A new spirit rock at Davie County Early College High School is designed to promote pride and let the commu- nity know about the school. - Photo by Gracie HauserPlease See Rock - Page 8 FOOTBALL ‘24 Tradition LivesFOREVER The Davie High War Eagles look to make more headlines in 2024!

Box, 99, Mocksville, mike.barnhardt@ Tell us what you think The Literary Corner Renegade Writer’s Guild The Mother VineBy E. BishopOn a recent trip to the Outer Banks, we rented an airnb for our stay. This beautifully decorated 1930s home called Historic Lennon Cottage at the Mother Vine was right across from this historical feature with the Roanoke Sound also across the street (with a dock for fishing). We could not have picked a better place to stay with all the amenities and lo-cal activities available. May be getting too old to ride the roller coaster ride we took to see the wild horses at Corolla but what fun it was anyway holding on for dear life at times! The first farm settlement, the Elizabethan Gardens, walking on the beach, Jockey’s Ridge, art museums, and the best fresh caught seafood you could ask for at O’Neal’s in Wanchese made that long drive worthwhile. But, the most intriguing was the The Mother Vine. Believed to be the oldest grape vine (400 years old) in North America, the “mother” of all vines for scuppernong grapes, North Carolina’s state fruit. No one is exactly sure of course of its origin but speculation is that it could have been planted by either Croatan Native Americans or settlers of the Lost Colony. As one article I read stated, if the Mother Vine could talk, she would tell you a long, long story. A story of birth and growth, running wild and free in the sunshine along the banks of Roanoke Island. And, of many mishaps along the way that could have led to her demise.While my daughter and I were out walking one evening, a friendly lady walking her dog stopped for a chat to welcome us to the area and was very gracious in telling us some history of the Vine. She explained the neighborhood helps keep up the grounds, etc. and told of an incident when it was almost lost just a few years ago when someone from the power com-pany came through spraying chemicals. Fortunately, due to the quick action of vintners, etc. from all over, disaster was averted. In 1957, Jack and Estelle Wilson bought the property that the Vine sits on. It occupied two acres at that time; they were initially unaware of just how important this site might be and trimmed it down extensively to build a house. They began to appreciate its history and sought to share it with others and cared for the Vine for the remainder of their lives. Their son, John Wilson IV inherited the property and stated “She want-ed dogs and children to always have access to Roanoke Sound at Mother Vineyard because throughout her childhood, and all the way through mine, that was where all children rode their bikes, walked their dogs, and went swimming.” According to The Coastland Times, Mr. Wilson is in the process of turning the property over to the Outer Banks Conservationists (OBC), a non-profit that manages Island Farm and Currituck Beach Lighthouse. Their intent is to make Outer Banks’ history ac-cessible and open to the public. Mother Vine will continue to be protected in perpetuity with this action.Crouching beneath the trellis of outstretched vines, down to where the gnarly original roots come from the ground, it’s just a little scary (someone said akin to Stranger Things) but at the same time awesome to see a massive twisted piece of art that is the “mother” of all vines. Don’t expect to get wine made from these grapes though; we tried. You’ll have to check out the “children” vineyards that came from her cut-tings. JudacullaBy Linda H. BarnetteThere is a curious rock not far from Western Carolina University near Sylva. It sits on an area of almost one acre, which is owned by Jackson County. The surface of this rock is covered with petroglyphs which were probably carved by people in that area thousands of years ago. Scientists who have studied this rock have been able to find over 1,000 cup A visit to what is believed to be the oldest grape vine in North America, the “Mother Vine,” is worth the stop. marks, 10 bowl-shaped marks, stick figures, deer tracks, and winged shapes.Judaculla Rock is still important to the Cherokee. Al-though most of them were removed to Oklahoma in 1838 in the infamous “Trail of Tears,” both the tribes there and the ones in our mountains continue to teach their oral history, of which this rock is likely a part. It is located on an old Indi-an trail. Today the federally recognized Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians is based in Jackson and Swain counties, where the rock is located. These people regard this boulder as spiritually significant and associate it with the slant-eyed giant of Cherokee legend.The rock contains more petroglyphs than any boulder west of the Mississippi River. It’s also important because it appears to be a picture map of where it is located. This particular rock appears to be a physical representation of the Cherokee land-scape in the area.A collaboration between the Eastern Band of the Chero-kee, Western Carolina University, the owners of the property, and others resulted in the building of an elevated platform around the area so that Judaculla will always be protected. Since 2013 it has been listed on the National Register of His-toric Places.Information from Wikipedia and photograph credit to my son, a graduate of Western Carolina. How We Spend TimeBy Stephanie Williams DeanI applaud anyone who tries to make our world a better place. Every so often, I get a white envelope in the mail. My ad-dress has been handwritten. In the upper right-hand corner is a stamp and postmark. In the upper left-hand corner is a handwritten return name and local address of a woman named Mary Wood. Consider that Ms. Wood took the time to hand address these envelopes, stuff the envelopes, and buy stamps and attach them. I wonder how many letters she mails?Inside the letter is a pamphlet inviting me to a 2024 spiri-tual convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The featured drama for the convention was to be presented on June 14, 2024. That date has already passed. Nevertheless, I read over the program highlights; Consid-er the evidence that the good news about Jesus in the Gos-pels are accurate records of his life and how these Biblical accounts can benefit us today. What was prophesied about Jesus’ birth and childhood and how those prophecies came true. And why so many folks have reasons to feel secure and confident in today’s world. My point in referring to this letter is not to focus on the program highlights although they are all important aspects to consider. But what grabbed my attention was more about the sender, Ms. Wood – she’s one person spending her time doing her part to make the world a better place. In her own way, Ms. Wood is sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in hopes of winning souls to Jesus. She is following what Jesus instructed us all to do in what’s known as The Great Commission – to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that He has commanded of us. As Christians, we have been sent out into the world to proclaim what Christ has done and call people to have faith in him. Now, I don’t know Ms. Wood, but I have to admire her work. She’s doing what she can to evangelize locally and sup-port the instruction to bring the gospel to our end of the earth. She hopes to save people – and that’s worth writing about. The “Judaculla” rock is important to the Cherokee people. My arms are a bit longer nowadays.Not by much - and nowhere as long as I anticipated when I decided to take the plunge and enter the modern world.Yes, I got a smart phone. I was one of the last. There was no real reason for my holdout other than I didn’t see the need for the expense. And I liked the idea of being different from everyone else. I could sit at a restaurant table with friends and not even be tempted to pull the thing out and stare at the screen like everyone else. Lately, there has been nobody to talk to because everyone else at the table (and in the world) has a smart phone and loves to look at it in public. Even when you watch national news on television, you can see folks in war-torn or third-world countries on a cell phone.For one, I don’t even like talking on the phone. And I’m at a computer most of the day if I need to look something up. So why get a smart phone?I was tired of being called a dinosaur; you know, those prehistoric animals with really short arms. They might be able to eat you, but they couldn’t slap you. A smart phone could do neither.Or so I thought.I’ve always enjoyed studying geography. I love reading maps. I pore over atlases. I used to memorize travel routes and amaze people with the knowledge I had gained from sim-ply reading a map and getting them to where they needed to go without a hitch.That’s not so easy in these times. Roads are added and moved all the time. Landmarks are being torn down at a rapid rate and new buildings are going up.And maps? If it was printed last year, it could already be out of date.To go on a road trip to parts unknown nowadays, a fell-er needs a smart phone with one of those apps that features a sweet-talking female voice giving directions. “Turn left in 100 feet,” she says. Maybe it’s because her sweet voice makes you believe every word she says. Maybe it’s because she’s a computer and way smarter than you’ll ever be, but we follow her (its) every word.We were headed into Bristol, Tenn., with my buddy driv-ing. We had made it safely through “The Snake” on US 421 and were crossing the lake headed towards town. We had a rental, and the address. I had looked at it on a map and had somewhat of an idea on which direction to travel.My buddy, the driver, apparently had other ideas. He’s no dinosaur, and was relying on one of those apps with the sweet voice that tells you where to turn. Unbeknowngst to me, he’s so advanced he had an earpiece, with that sweet woman talking to him. None of the rest of us in the car could hear.Traveling at our age, we’re always in a hurry to get to our destination. I think bladders shrink as we get older.And when he made that first turn, I thought to myself, “He has no idea where he is going.”Then there was another turn, and we passed an abandoned factory. We turned again, and again, and again - and with each turn - we drove further into the bowels of Bristol. More aban-doned factories, abandoned schools, and houses that looked like they should have been abandoned years ago but weren’t.Everyone in our vehicle was wide-eyed by now. Here we were, in a new town, with out-of-state license plates, wide eyed and cleanly bathed and smartly dressed, unlike those folks we were looking at. The worst part, some of those peo-ple we were looking at were beginning to look back at us, as well. In situations such as this, stop signs are made for slowing down.We were about halfway through those bowels when I questioned the directions. That’s when I learned we were be-ing guided by a smart phone. I felt a little better, but not much.Eventually, we made the last turn and found our rental. Luckly, the neighborhood had changed for the better just as we made that last turn, so we should be safe.Still trying to rid myself of that dinosaur moniker, I quick-ly whipped out my new (new to me, at least) smart phone to see what had just happened. That directions app had got us to our destination fine, but was it the best route? Looking at the map, you could clearly see that had we just gone straight for a couple of miles, we would have come to another road that would almost have taken us to our front door. We went back to downtown that way, on a tree-lined street with a land-scaped median and stores hidden from view. It was idyllic.That directions app could have taken us through Bristol’s shangri-la, but rather chose to send us through the town’s bowels. Thanks a lot.Looking back, that trip through the real Bristol was much more entertaining, much more revealing, than the quiet and safe tree-lined street. We saw the real Bristol, not the one on the chamber of commerce brochure.I would credit the app on the smart phone with sending us on the most entertaining route, but that computer woman didn’t know. She (it) was just following some sort of algo-rhythm to get us there with the fewest miles.It’s going to take me a while before my arms grow back out to regular length.- Mike Barnhardt(asaurus) Dinosaur no more?

This has signifi-cantly increased awareness and built relationships be-tween local industries and our educators, students, and families. The program equips teachers to guide students to-ward promising career paths while also fostering a poten-tial local workforce.” This year’s externship Davie educators tour the E911 communications center; and learn about the Davie County Sheriff’s Department from Sheriff J.D. Hartman. - Photos by Jeanna Baxter WhiteExternships ... Hayward Holdings operates a distribution center in Mocksville. participants included Da-vie High teachers: Matthew Barker, a STEM English teacher ; Amber Brandon, a STEM science teacher; Will Miner, a CTE teacher; Ker-stin Steinhour, a CTE teach-er; and Will Marrs, a CTE teacher at DCHS. Program organizers Mc-Manamy, Alyse Wooldridge, the career development co- ordinator at Davie High; and David Koontz, the new director of CTE and federal programs for Davie County Schools, were also present. Participants shared a common goal: to help stu-dents succeed in school and in their careers and lives. Wooldridge looks for-ward to the Teacher Extern-ship every year. “It is a great way for our teachers to learn about local opportunities to take back to their classrooms. It is always exciting to see what is taking place with our community partners and see the excite-ment when our teachers learn about these opportunities. Each year I learn something new that allows me to share with our students and help businesses in our communi-ty.“We made some chang-es to the Externship this year and added some of our emergency services to tours in addition to the traditional industry tours,” Wooldridge said. “There are many career opportunities in emergency services, but learning about how each entity works gave our educators a new level of appreciation for their dedica-tion to our community.” Steinhour was eager to learn about the types of businesses in Davie Coun- ticipated in the externships when it began in 2014. “During that experience, I quickly learned more about the industries that were lo-cated here in Davie County, but more importantly, what types of jobs and skills these companies were looking for. Now that I serve as director of Career and Technical Edu-cation, it is crucial to contin-ue building this program so we can continue to meet the employment needs of our in-dustry and business partners in our community.” He hopes more business-es will participate. “I deeply appreciate these business partners for taking the time to showcase their facilities and provide tours, presentations, and general overviews of their work en-vironments,” Koontz said. “Their staff did an incredible job, and we are very thank-ful for their hospitality. The externship visits are always exciting for our teachers, and our school district would love for any business or in-dustry partners interested in participating next summer to contact us. We have multiple events throughout the school year to increase career awareness for our students, and I encourage businesses to reach out about participat-ing in those as well.” ty so she could better talk with students about job op-portunities. She especially enjoyed learning about the departments of the sheriff's office and how the 911 dis-patch, EMS center, and sher-iff's department work togeth-er. “I feel this experience will help me let students know about all of the different op-portunities that are available to them.” Barker was happy to par-ticipate in his second full ex-ternship experience because he learns something new about industry and the coun-ty he works in every time. “Before the externship, I never knew how many in-dustries were in Davie Coun-ty and how much this county manufactures. I also didn't realize how many job op-portunities were available to students, even those coming right out of high school.“Because of this experi-ence, I can direct students to potential employment opportunities. I also have had it reinforced that the baseline standards we have for students on attendance and presence of mind are not just the result of schools and teachers being nitpicky. Employers have cell phone policies. Employers have at-tendance policies. These ar-en't being enforced because teachers are being mean; they are the reality of the working world,” he said. Barker hopes to bring in some of the employers to talk with students in STEAMi-nars during the school year. “At multiple destinations during this externship, I have run into parents of students I have taught. It has been so cool to engage with them in such a different context and see the lives they lead and how that has influenced their children.” “REEB and SPB brands believe that being part of the Davie County community is important,” said Chelsea Favre, human resources gen-eralist. “Inviting teachers into our facility allows us to showcase what we do, what we have to offer, and the types of skills we are looking for in our future employees,” Production Manager Mi-chael Fletcher added: “We are always looking for em-ployees with a good work ethic. We can train them for the job.” The company regular-ly visits the CTE classes to showcase the types of jobs they have available right out of high school. “We are always excited to help Davie County’s youth.

By Bridgett DillardDavie Community Foundation Most high school students are uncertain about their fu-ture career path, but not Kait-lin (Fletcher) Jackson. Kaitlin felt a calling from an early age to become a physical therapist and was determined to make her ca-reer dreams a reality. Kaitlin attended Western Carolina University from 2016-2020 and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in recreational therapy. During her undergraduate years, Kaitlin received numerous scholarships through the Da-vie Community Foundation: the Bobby & Bernice Knight Scholarship, Davie High Class of 1976 Scholarship, Roger and Lisa Davis and Family Scholarship, Roy and Ruth Eldridge Scholarship, Samuel P. Hall Memorial Scholarship and the White Martin Scholarship. After graduating, she con-tinued to physical therapy school, graduating in 2023 with her doctor of physical therapy degree. There, she received the Roger and Lisa Davis and Family Scholar-ship and the Davie Hospital Foundation Scholarship.“Basically, throughout Kaitlin’s college career she received scholarship invest-ments,” said Jane Simpson, Davie Community Foun-dation President & CEO. “Kaitlin gave back to her community along the way and even volunteered at foundation events to show her appreciation for the com-munity investment. We are all proud of Kaitlin’s hard work and accomplishments.”Kaitlin married James Jackson in September 2023. Today, she works as an acute care physical therapist in the Charlotte area and serves as a site coordinator of clinical education for physical thera-py students completing rota-tions at the facility where she works.Because physical therapy school is demanding, Kaitlin had minimal time to carry a job. “Receiving these scholar-ships helped to decrease the stress and anxiety of finan-cially affording school and allowed me to focus solely on gaining the education I needed to become a physical therapist.” Kaitlin credits developing time management skills as helpful in managing the com-plexity of her college sched-ule. Then, a busy student and now a working adult, Kaitlin relies on Google Calendar to keep her schedule in or-der and highly recommends Time management key for busy students Kaitlin (Fletcher) Jackson on her “Oscar” awards night receiving scholarships through the Davie Community Foundation; and upon her graduation from West- ern Carolina University. Cognition of Davie, the children’s museum and mak-erspace in Mocksville, has new leadership.Britney Lowery is the new executive director, and Aliya Landry is the new site coordinator, approved by Cognition’s board of direc-tors.“It has been an honor to be a part of the growth of this incredible organization and I look forward to watching as the new team take it to new heights,” said Jessica White, outgoing director of opera-tions. “I have loved my time here getting to know the community and sharing my love of STEAM education, college students use it, too. “The calendar on my phone included classes, extracurric-ular activities, study groups/project meetings so that I could easily figure out where I needed to be on campus and ensure I had enough time to get there.”While Kaitlin knew what she wanted to study, she rec-ognizes that many are not as decisive. She advises high school students to begin looking into what interests them as early as possible to help narrow down a field of interest. By planning ahead, Kait-lin was able to structure her junior and senior year sched-ules with classes that met college requirements. This helped decrease the number of courses she had to take during college, ultimately saving her time and money. Visit www.daviefounda-tion.org. New staff members join Cognition I can’t wait to see what the new team brings to Cogni-tion,” said Becca White, out-going director of education.As Cognition continues its $100,000 three-year Cog-nition Challenge, Lowery, is excited about the opportuni-ty.“As a native of North Carolina, I have been so impressed with the vision and work Davie County has accomplished here at Cog-nition,” Lowery said. “The flexibility of the interactive exhibit play area and maker-space is developing as a jew-el to this community.” Cognition looks to con-tinue its efforts in expand-ing the reach and impact of its mission throughout the Piedmont Triad region and in the children’s museum sector overall, she said. With upcoming school field trips and its annual Sep-tember carnival and Touch-a-Truck fundraiser, Cogni-tion is full STEAM ahead. “Being a part of the Cog-nition team is truly exciting,” Landry said. “I’m eager to help create memorable expe-riences for kids in our com-munity.”,Cognition of Davie County is an interactive children’s museum and makerspace in downtown Mocksville. While promot-ing exploration, education and innovation in Davie and Lowery Landry surrounding communities, Cognition creates opportuni-ties for people of all ages to play, learn and grow through its STEAM inspired exhibits and creativity space.To learn more about the fundraising challenge and upcoming events, visit www.CognitionDavie.org. �� , �� :�� There’s no one who can recreate the sound and style of the world famous Doobie Brothers like the band coming to Mocksville on September 21st.

We believe we can accommodate and cover with simply adjusting some of the schedules on some of our current division needs projects so that we don’t have to decommit any of those projects.”The Prioritization 7.0 fu-ture projects include:• Project H230557: US 158, Lewisville-Clemmons Road to Bermuda Run Roundabout, 2.41 miles; wid-en existing roadway to three-lane section with curb gutter, bike lanes and sidewalk from Lewisville-Clemmons Road to Harper Road with a road-way reconfiguration from Harper Road to the Bermuda Run Roundabout; estimated cost – $76.7 million.• Project H184620: NC 801, Oak Valley Boulevard to US 158, 1.82 miles; widen to multi-lane roadway with bike lanes and sidewalk or possi-bly a multi-use pathway in-stead; estimated cost – $73.3 million.• Project H090546: US 158, Baltimore Road to NC 801, 1.59 miles; widen ex-isting roadway to two-lane section with center-turn lane with curb gutter, bike lanes and sidewalk; add addition- Serving Winston-Salem, Clemmons, and Surrounding Areas al turn lanes at NC 801 and through lane on northbound NC 801; estimated cost – $47.3 million.• Project H185121: Inter-section of US 158 and NC 801, 0.5 miles; upgrade in-tersection by adding left-turn lanes on US 158 eastbound onto NC 801 northbound; es-timated cost – $3.5 million.“So these projects will compete in the regional lev-el, which includes the pri-mary roads,” Ivey said. “We submitted them in various ways in the hope we could get something in there. The intersection project is a little over $3 million and actu-ally scored very well. That one has a fairly good chance of possibly receiving some funding under the regional impact category.”Mayor Mike Brannon of-fered more context.“In that case you have an intersection project that’s roughly $3 million to $3.5 million competing with an 801 widening project that is $73 million,” Brannon said.“So you see the dilemma that we’re talking about right there,” Ivey said.Regarding Prioritization 7.0 future projects, Brannon pointed out that they fall into the 10-year window STIP plan and will “mark time for a couple of years and come back to that and evaluate where those projects are, but there is not work today that can be committed on that.”Local projects that are committed projects and mov-ing forward include:• Baltimore Road Exten-sion: Baltimore Road to I-40, construct two-lane extension of Baltimore Road and inter-change at I-40; plans are 75 percent complete; right-of-way acquisition in process; let, October 2025; estimated cost – $35 million.• Lewisville-Clemmons Road: US 158 to Peace Haven Road, 1.5 miles; operational and safety im-provements; right-of-way acquisition, September 2024; let, October 2026; estimated cost, $69.3 million. “This is a very complex project with a lot of right-of-way issues,” Rhyne said.There are two STBG-DA Pedestrian Projects, which will have a 20 percent town match unlike the highway projects, and are also on hold barring any changes:• Blue Heron Trail Phase 3: North side of US 158 from Royal Troon Drive to NC 801, 0.42 miles; install paved asphalt 10-foot shared-use path along within the right-of-way of US 158, estimated cost, $1.045 million.• NC 801 Sidewalk: West side of NC 801 from US 158 to Yadkin Valley Road, 0.39 miles, install five-foot side-walk; estimated cost, $1.072 million.Even though many proj-ects will be on hold because of lack of funding, Ivey, who is retiring at the end of the year after 24 years leading Division 9, said that local input points will be assigned for projects going forward just in case things change and additional funding becomes available.“We do feel even though things appear to be a little bleak in terms of funding right now, Prioritization 8.0 (in two years) may be bit bet-ter for two reasons – the hope that inflation is leveling off and not as big an issue, and assuming transportation reve-nues are the same if not bet-ter,” he said. “If those things occur, we will be in a very good position to hopefully address some of these really important needs that we may not be able to get to this year just because of the availabili-ty of funding.”In other highlights from last Tuesday night’s meeting, the council:• Heard from council member Melinda Szeliga, who announced that she was tendering her resignation ef-fective Aug. 14 due to a ca-reer change that could cause a conflict with her service on the board. She will remain an active member of the Bermu-da Run Vision Committee.• Heard from Town Man-ager Andrew Meadwell on establishing funding sourc-es and budget for The Flags at Blue Heron Trail project, which has been bid out twice, with $140,000 appropriat-ed for construction – and $80,000 appropriated from the General Fund balance and $60,000 from the Davie County Community Foun-dation. “The work that was achieved by this committee has not gone unnoticed,” Brannon said before unani-mous council approval. • Also heard from Mead-well regarding the town’s road paving project – for two miles of street paving – with Blythe Construction Inc.-DBA Hanes Construction, asking for approval for work to be completed at a cost of $635,943. It was approved unanimously. • Appointed Kristy Bumgarner (Bermuda Run East), Cody Crissman (Ber-muda Run Business Com-munity) and Cathy Ring (Kinderton Representative) to the Bermuda Run Vision Committee.

I love working here and look forward to seeing our school continue to thrive and grow.”All students, starting with the seniors, signed the rock. “This was to represent a new beginning for all,” Brown said. “We did this to symbolize letting go of last year and stepping into a new one full of potential.

The combination of growing leaders, building communities, and strength-ening agriculture earned Da-vie students the Gold Nation-al Chapter Award, designed to acknowledge chapters that pursue the mission of the FFA organization. As Davie County students look back on a successful season, they continue to pre-pare with excitement for the new year ahead. FFA members devoted hours worth of studying and practice to develop the skill sets needed to participate in state-level competitions. In the fall, the Junior Livestock Team secured Reserve State Champion for their ability to judge several classes of breeding and mar-ket livestock. In February, Freshman Lochan Holcomb placed second at the NC FFA State Tractor Driving Competi-tion. With the spring season came the NC All Breeds Dairy Judging competition where Davie’s Senior Team was third, led by junior Cait-lyn Nicholson who finished as the first place individual. Joining more than 4,000 FFA members from across the state, Davie wrapped up the competitive season at the 95th NC FFA State Conven-tion in Raleigh on June 27.

In a crowded competi-tion, the Floriculture Team placed third. Senior Grayson Haynes earned second in Ag Educa-tion Proficiency, while Addi-son Hendrix earned second in the Agriscience Fair. Davie graduates Grayson Haynes, Addison Hendrix, and Tori Cregar were hon-ored to receive their Old North State FFA Degrees, the highest state-level degree awarded by NC FFA. Members also competed in Milk Quality, Tool ID, Horticulture, and served as delegates for the NC FFA Association. The Davie FFA chapter looks back on their season with pride as well as ambi-tion for the upcoming school year. Throughout the summer, students have given time to volunteering at the Store-house For Jesus located in Mocksville. This gives FFA members the opportunity to cooperate with a non-prof- it Christian ministry by harvesting and donating produce they have grown throughout the year. New structural additions are being made to the green-house and barn behind the CTE building at the high school to help with the grow-ing livestock and nursery programs. FFA members also har-vested over 300 pounds of Busy Bee Honey from the school hives, which serves as a learning opportunity and fundraiser for the program. Honey can be purchased in the main office at the high school. Students are excited for several events to start the new school year. These trips include an officer leader-ship retreat, sheep showing events at the Yadkin-Davie Livestock Show, Mountain State Fair in Asheville, and the Classic Fair in Winston, along with a visit to India-napolis, Ind. for the National FFA Convention in October. Davie FFA thanks all the community partners and par-ents who make these activi-ties possible.

Organizing a family’s schedule, activities and budget every week can be a daunting task, said Colleen Church, Davie Cooperative Extension director. “When it comes to plan-ning a food budget, it is im-portant to find ways to max-imize it.”Consider these mon-ey saving tips for packing school lunches.• Instead of spending money to replace brown paper bags or plastic zip-per bags, invest in reusable lunch bags that can be used multiple times in different situations, including school. Replacing disposable sand-wich bags with re-usable food containers will provide long-term savings and help avoid excess waste.• Asking children what they prefer to eat can go a long way in planning lunch-es and teaching them about the decision-making process. For older kids, this can also Addison Hendrix brought home a second place finish in Agriscience Fair. School lunch packing tips Floriculture team members Victoria Cregar, Victoria Mixon, Sophie Vest, and Ne- van Ellis Meat ID team members of Caitlyn Nicholson, Kyra Verkuyl, Justice Miller, and Matthew Ramsey. become a good introduction to budgeting. Allow them to choose food items they enjoy within reason, making sure the lunch is still nutritious.• Bulk purchases can help your dollar go further. Spending a little more up-front can reduce the cost per serving. Family size or larger portions of products, such as trail mix, dried fruits, popcorn, or applesauce, will cover more lunches. Just be sure that you can use the larger quantity before it be-comes stale.• When cooking meals, a good strategy is to prepare enough to create lunches with the leftovers for the next day or two. Keep in mind that there might not be a way to heat up leftovers in school, so focus on leftovers that can be served cold and hot, such as pasta or chick-en dishes. A cooked whole chicken can be deboned and used for chicken salads, sandwiches, or pasta dishes.• Keeping track of a child’s food habits at home can help when preparing their lunch. If a child only eats half a sandwich at home, give them half a sandwich and complete their lunchbox with a healthy snack to round out the meal, instead of send-ing them to school with a full sandwich. Start with small-er portions and increase as needed.Children may not want to admit that they have been wasting their food.• Do price comparisons between how much it costs every week to send children to school with packed lunch-boxes versus how much it costs for them to buy lunch at school. Utilizing the school lunches may provide savings or be helpful to free up some time for parents on extra busy mornings.• Using SNAP (Supple-mental Nutrition Assistance Program) can help maximize the food budget. For ques-tions about SNAP or to re-ceive application assistance, contact the More In My Basket staff at morefood.org or call 1-855-240-1451 (En-glish) and 1-888-382-7105 (Spanish). 10 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024 A Full MeAsure Chicken Pies, Desserts, And More! — TWO LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU — 643 Wilkesboro St., Mocksville, NC 27028 • (336) 936-9386 1995 NC Hwy. 801 S., Advance, NC 27006 • (336) 998-2364 Homemade Chicken Pie • Gourmet Desserts Gourmet Chicken Salad • Quiches A Healthy Measure Entrees & Desserts and MUCH MORE!

FOOTBALL ‘24 Tradition LivesFOREVER The Davie High War Eagles look to make more headlines in 2024! Seniors (l-r): Leon Bradshaw, Ryder Strickland, Braddock Coleman, Landon Barber, and Connor Hood lead the way in the quest for another CPC Title! DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024 - B1 B2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024 By Brian PittsSports Editor Four of the last five seasons ended with Davie holding a winning record. That’s been primarily due to the offense being able to score points by the bucketload. In 2019, when the War Eagles finished 7-6, their 35.1 scoring average offset a defensive scoring average of 33. In the spring of 2021, when it finished 5-2, Davie allowed 31.8 points but made up for it by scoring 40.5. In the fall of 2021, Davie scored exactly the same amount of points as it allowed (438, or 39.8 on average), but managed to keep its head above water at 6-5. And in 2023, the 7-4 War Eagles delivered the most wins and their finest CPC finish (tied for second) in four years by averaging 38.2 points. The maligned defense took a step forward with a 27.9 scoring average. The glass-half-empty view for 2024 is the War Eagles will slip a notch or two because they lost many offensive pieces to graduation. The glass-half-full view: If the offense can just be adequate, good things could happen because there’s significant optimism on the other side of the ball.

They’ve got plenty of guys who have done great throughout spring and summer practices.”“I think our defense could be a lot better than it’s been in the last couple of years,” defensive line coach Randy Athey said. The season opener at Mooresville, though, is not the ideal opponent for breaking in many new faces on offense. “We have a new quarterback, a new running back and a new offensive line,” coach Tim Devericks said. “So, yeah, in the spring and in the summer, there were some growing pains. The offensive line, quarterback and running back groups have really improved from where we started in the spring to this point.”“We definitely have a young team,” offensive coor-dinator Matt Gould said. “It’s a very small senior class, so we’re definitely still growing. But I think the future is exciting with all the young guys we have.”Davie at Mooresville is not David vs. Goliath, but it might be David vs. Hulk Hogan. The Blue Devils are loaded on both sides of the ball, returning 15 starters (eight on offense, seven on defense) from an 11-1 team in 2023, including quarterback Brody Norman and running back Eric Heal. “(Norman) has the ability to throw the ball and run it,” new Mooresville head coach Zach Mayo told highschoo-lot.com. “He definitely looks to pass first, but he has the ability to create plays when stuff gets off time. “(Heal’s) a big kid that has track speed. He finished third in the state in the 110 hurdles, but he’s 195 pounds. When you can run like that at that size, I definitely want to hand you the football quite a few times.“We’ve got a lot of weapons on offense. It should be a really good year offensively.”The Devils have a bevy of proven playmakers on defense as well. All three defensive linemen are back. Linebacker Jamari Farmer has committed to Indiana, and defensive back AJ Graham is a Division-I recruit. “We have to be fast, physical and relentless, and (Farmer) does that day in and day out,” Mayo said. “He wears eye black to practice.; that’s how much he loves it. He’s not concerned with girls, he’s not concerned about what clothes he has on. All he wants to do is play football and knock people’s faces off. “AJ’s got some of the best ball skills in the state. We have a very strong back end.”Notes: Kickoff on Friday at Mooresville is set for 7 p.m. ... Mooresville went 21-3 the past two years, win-ning back-to-back conference titles before losing in the second round of the 4-A playoffs each time. ... Mayo said “we’ve got 170 kids in the program.” ... The War Eagles lead the all-time series 17-16-1 but have dropped the last two.

Here’s a refresher of Mill-er’s impact during the 2022-23 seasons. He completed 412 passes for 5,327 yards, threw 54 touchdowns, ran for 15 scores, fired at least one TD in a Davie-record 22 straight games and set program re-cords for 200-yard passing games (15) and 300-yard passing games (seven). One of the most prolific passers in Davie history is now a freshman at Arkansas State. That’s a tough act to fol-low. In the offseason, pri-ority No. 1 for coach Tim Devericks was finding a new triggerman. Devericks and offensive coordinator Matt Gould spent many days throwing spaghetti at walls. They considered moving star receiver Ethan Driver to QB, but ultimately decided to roll with senior Leon Bradshaw, a receiver the past three years, and junior Aiden Hall, a QB on JV in 2022-23. “There were some restless nights once Ty Miller grad-uated, but that happens in every program,” Devericks said. “Those guys have been splitting reps and getting better all spring and summer. Where Aiden might be able to dissect a defense and throw some routes better than Leon, Leon might make up for it by being able to move to the right or left off a spot. It’s not going to be Ty Miller or Alex Summers or Nate Hampton, but we’ve settled in and said this is how we’re going to orchestrate it. I think it’ll be an ongoing competition. They haven’t seen live bullets; they feel defensive linemen rush by them. When you add those live bullets in a scrimmage, how do both of them handle that?”Bradshaw is learning on the job after playing receiver last year and contributing 30 receptions. “As a wide receiver, you’ve got to know your route and your assignment,” Devericks said. “As a quar-terback, you have to know all four receivers, five when you count the running back, and also know where your hot read is based on the protection up front. When you put all of that on somebody, there is go-ing to be a learning curve and some time needed for that to sink in. Sometimes you don’t want to get spooked and run when you don’t really have to. That all comes with expe-rience and knowing when I do need to do that and when is it time for me to sit in here and fire a ball to a receiver?”Are there questions to answer at QB? Absolutely. Bumps are to be expected. But if Bradshaw winds up being the man, he will bring excitement for a couple of reasons: He’s lightning fast, meaning he could create something on busted plays, and he can sling it deep better than most people would have thought when summer work-outs began. “He’s wanted to throw the ball since he got here,” Gould said. “He would throw in practice, but he really just started playing quarterback late spring/early summer. But even since then, I’ve seen him grow and get more comfort- able with it. He’s not a pro-totypical quarterback - he’s got some good athleticism and he has a natural feel for the game.”Bradshaw’s speed and quickness could make him a productive scrambler. As a sophomore receiver on JV, he had a ton of highlight-reel moments. Last year on varsi-ty, he played in the shadows of Driver, Braddock Coleman and Grey Deal, but there still were times he had coaches in the film room doing the coach thing of watching and rewind-ing, watching and rewinding. “He took a couple screens last year - I think they both ended up getting called back - where we just threw it to him in the flats and he made three people miss and ended up scoring,” Gould said. “His sophomore year, he was ba-sically the whole JV offense. It was throw it to him and something would happen. He’s definitely one of those natural football players who can get out in space and make something happen. “He’s not afraid to chunk it. He knows if Ethan Driver’s got a deep route, he’s willing to throw it and give him a chance. And Landon Waller is a big target. Leon knows if he’s got him on a deep route, By Brian PittsSports Editor How far Davie goes in 2024 depends largely on the development of the re-building offensive line and the abilities of the new quar-terbacks. As we watch how those storylines play out, the War Eagles can take solace in this: They have no worries whatsoever at receiver. You couldn’t ask for a better receiver duo than Ethan Driver and Braddock Coleman, who were first and second, respectively, in receptions and yards in 2023. Driver started off his soph-omore campaign on fire - eight catches for 125 yards in his varsity debut - and awe-in-spiring plays came week after week until he finished with 56 grabs for 923 yards and 12 touchdowns. The supremely athletic 6-2, 175-pounder tied the Davie record for 100-yard games in a season (six), and he’s already tied for eighth in career TD catches (12) with two years to go. “There was conversation about moving Ethan to quar-terback. But with his capa-bility, you always command (double coverage) and you don’t want to pull that away from an offensive scheme,” coach Tim Devericks said. “He had a great spring and New QBs learning the job Driver & Coleman make quite the duo summer, going to camps and having some recognition and some writeups. His ability to look smooth and be extremely fast and quick is something I haven’t seen in a long, long time. His ability to track a ball is probably the best we’ve had in a while. There’s been times he’s been double covered and it didn’t matter. That happened all spring and summer - unfortunately for the defense - but he’s that type of playmaker.”“He understands every-thing that’s going on in a play,” offensive coordinator Matt Gould said. “His lead-ership has taken a huge step up. He’s talking to the young guys, the other receivers, talking to the quarterbacks, and he just knows what’s go-ing on out there. They follow him - how he runs his routes, how he practices. I can’t say enough about him.”The War Eagles are fully aware of what Coleman can do after his junior season: 42 catches, 580 yards, four TDs. The senior is a big play waiting to happen. Although he’s not blessed with great size, the 5-11, 165-pounder is not scared to make contested catches in the middle of the field and he’s a ferocious competitor. “Braddock gets it honest (with his bloodlines),” De- vericks said. “He’s one of the ultimate competitors I’ve had the privilege of coaching. I don’t care if he’s running a hitch route, I don’t care if he’s running a curl route, no matter where he is on the field, he doesn’t care where it’s at, he’s going to try to catch it and get what he can. I’m super excited for Braddock and his senior year.”Man, is he intense. “He’s probably the most competitive guy on the team,” Gould said. “If we have a bad rep in practice or a bad period, Braddock is the fiery guy. He gets onto them, he’s fired up, everybody feeds off of his energy. He loves foot-ball. The other day he went over the middle on a slant. We shouldn’t have thrown him the ball; it was like triple coverage. And he went in be-tween three dudes and he got knocked down and his helmet came flying off and he just got up and was ready for the next play. That’s who he is.”“Given an opportunity to block a little closer to the box, he’s trying to TKO people,” assistant coach Blaine Nich-olson said. “His blocking has im-proved by leaps and bounds,” Devericks added.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024 - B5 By Brian PittsSports Editor After graduating eight starters, Davie’s offense has several gaps to fill. Not only is it replacing four starters up front and breaking in a new quarterback, Davie is also going to trot out new running backs in 2024. Davie has produced a 1,000-yard rusher five con-secutive years - Tate Carney from 2019-21 and Markel Summers in 2022-23. The War Eagles are going to certainly miss Summers’ 1,483 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns from 2023, but coaches don’t feel the current running back situation is dire. There’s potency between junior Jamarious Pelote and sophomore Braxton Bowl-ing. The offense will look to establish a 1-2 punch as they rotate in and out. “With the teams we play, you almost have to have two who can take the pounding,” coach Tim Devericks said. “We’re going to try to keep them both fresh,” offensive coordinator Matt Gould said. “Those two look super im-pressive.”Pelote has changed po-sitions after quarterbacking the JV for two years. Bowling was immediately thrown into the fire as a varsity freshman, starting all year at cornerback. His eyes lit up when Dever-icks approached him about moving to offense. “There was a smile,” De-vericks said. “Braxton is not a kid who says a whole lot, but there was a smile and ‘I’ve got you, coach.’”The duo has contrast-ing styles. Pelote can dance around defenders, while Bowling likes to plow. “Jay’s had opportunities to run the ball in the past (at QB),” Devericks said. “What he may lack as far as his stature - because he’s a little taller - his shiftiness might be a little ahead of Braxton at this point.”“They can both make big plays,” Gould said. “Braxton is a little more physical, but Jay’s got the elusiveness. I mean, he did it at quarterback for two years, where he puts By Brian PittsSports Editor Last year Davie entered the season with four returning starters on the offensive line. This year it’s the complete opposite. Davie is building from the ground up with one returning starter. It has work to do to replace the foursome of Evan Froe-lich, Evan Copeland, Kevin Lazaro and Jalen Alexander. While the War Eagles desperately need inexpe-rienced varsity players to step up, no one doubts their prowess at center. Senior Ryder Strickland, a third-year varsity starter and two-time all-conference selection, is a battle-tested vet. “Ryder’s the leader, he’s the caller, he knows what’s going on,” coach Tim De-vericks said of the unit’s lone senior. “You talk about some-body who would carry the flag for Davie County, Ryder is one of those kind of guys.”O-line coach Spencer Pas-ciolla said: “He’s just made awesome development. He’s a really good kid and he’s been a blast to coach. He’s certainly gotten better every year, and when he’s already as good as he is, it’s impressive for him to keep making all that progress. He’s also done a good job of becoming an extra coach for some of the younger guys.”Junior Xavier Parker, who played defensive line last year, has made a major splash at left guard. “I appreciate him having the attitude to want to help the team out,” Pasciolla said. “Xavier is a people-mover, he’s got a lot of strength and he’s taken the coaching on the fly really well.”Devericks and offensive coordinator Matt Gould mar-veled at Parker’s smooth tran-sition from defense to offense. “He looks like he’s been playing OL his whole life,” Gould said. “This has been a huge change for our team,” De-vericks said. “Man, this kid is really blossoming. Left guard has fit him to a T. He’s been really physical, he’s made some vertical movement in the run game, and you’re not going to outwork Xavier Parker. Drill to drill, he’s running. Every team rep that he takes is at 110 percent.”Are two sophomores up to the task on the right side of the line? While right guard Ahmad McGee and right tackle David Hicks will face learning curves, they do seem promising. “(Hicks and McGee) have the size and ability, they’ve just got to grow up and step into their role,” Gould said. “Ahmad and David are sophomores and they’ve already got great frames,” Pasciolla said. “They’re just going to have to be consistent and show up every day. If they do that, the potential that they have is to be really, really good offensive linemen.”The other gap that has to be filled is at left tackle. Juniors Eli Waddell and Ryan Williams are battling for that job. “We moved Eli from de-fense,” Gould said. “He’s getting there. He’s growing and working and getting bet-ter. He’s just still learning the position.”Also fighting for playing time are juniors Colt Ratliff and Maddox Creason. “Colt can back up a guard,” Devericks said. “Maddox can back up the tackles or pretty much anywhere on the of-fensive line. Maddox is one of those guys who is intelli-gently gifted and can handle the different responsibilities of each one of those.” Offense will trot out new RBs Continued From Page B4he’ll give him a chance to win, too. He won’t let (the de-fense) just sit underneath; he’s willing to take those shots.”The other option is Hall. He can’t run like Bradshaw, but does have more experi-ence at the position. “Aiden is more of a pocket passer and less of a runner,” his foot in the ground and makes people miss. So we’re super excited about both of those guys.”Bowling plays the game with a fury. He might just be an ace in the making. “He can tote it and he cuts on a dime,” defensive line coach Randy Athey said. “Braxton is physical,” Devericks said. “He’s low to the ground, low center of gravity and an extremely hard competitor. I don’t care if it’s a run on air or an inside run or whatever it may be, he’s going hard.”“Braxton was at every single (offseason workout), putting in the work,” Gould said. “I think (running back is what he’s) wanted to do since middle school, and he’s a natural at the position. And he can catch. He has incredible hands. So he’s the complete package. He runs it hard. He about runs people over in practice, so I can’t wait to see him touch the ball in a game.” Offensive line building from the ground up Go get ‘em War Eagles!

A senior with brute phys-icality, Barber is a third-year starter on the defensive line who is coming off a 60-tackle season. “He’s one of the strongest kids in our program,” coach Tim Devericks said. “He’s very quiet in what he does and he works every day. I’m looking for big things again from him.”“He makes us better,” offensive line coach Spencer Pasciolla said. “Landon is extremely strong and doesn’t lose a lot of speed with that strength. So he’s tough to block plugging up the A gaps.”Braylon Arnold could be a big-time playmaker by 2026. Devericks is already raving about him as a sophomore. “He’s long-armed and Barber a disruptive presence on the defensive line very powerful,” Devericks said. “As a freshman, he had to learn some technique after he dominated middle school and youth football with his size. His first step and the point of his first step is important for a defensive lineman, and he’s really got that down to a T. We try to model every defensive line-man’s first step and angle after Braylon, because that’s how good he does it.”Junior Connor Dixson and senior Corban O’Neil are fighting for the DL’s third starting spot, although there will be times when Davie goes with a four-man front. Devericks feels good about both of them. “They are athletic guys and both of them are very strong,” Devericks said. “One might be a little bit faster than the other, and one has more experience than the other. (O’Neil) came back to play football this year, and he’s been a bright spot with his energy and enthusiasm.”Pasciolla said: “I know he’s playing his first year of football, but Corban is strong as a bull. I mean, trying to keep him from hitting his bull rush and getting our tackles in the backfield has been a chore.”The depth along the front will come from seniors Billy Krause and Nathaniel Jordan and junior Gio Alcacio. “He gives us some size at receiver that we haven’t had in a long, long time,” Gould said. “It’s exciting for the quarterback to see a 6-5 guy out there one-on-one. Just toss it up and let him go make a play.”Keep your eye out for junior Dallas Simms. “He was on track for an incredible year last year on JV until he hurt his knee,” Gould said. “He attacked his rehab and got fully cleared a few weeks ago. He couldn’t do anything in the spring. He does the little things; he’s smart. Even when he was hurt, he showed up to every practice, studied the playbook and was always there encour-aging the guys and hitting his rehab as hard as possible. He can definitely step in and make some plays.”Mack Ridenhour, whose father Drew was a record-set-ting QB from 1997-99, has been making noise in prac-tice. “He’s a big sophomore,” Gould said. “He’s 6-3 or 6-4 and he’s worked incredibly hard and has been making more plays. So he’ll be a great JV player, if not an eight-quarter/Friday night guy.”Sophomore Jayce Bentley, freshman Landon Hughes and junior Memphis Nunn have shown encouraging flashes. By Brian PittsSports Editor Every defense wants a thumper in the middle of the field. Davie has that box checked. Middle linebacker Elijah Chaffin is made of granite, he’s coming off a team-high 103 tackles, he’s picked up speed while adding 21 pounds and he’s nowhere close to a finished product. He made those 103 tackles as a - gulp - freshman. It was the most by a Davie freshman in 16 years (Jared Barber had 148 in 2007).“He is bigger and way more experienced,” lineback-er coach Todd Bumgarner said. “He is always set on go. We are doing something new this year, but he has picked it up good and is starting to play faster and seeing things really well. I can’t wait to watch him play.”After playing at 192 pounds in 2023, Chaffin is up to 6-4, 213 pounds. He com-bines that size with frighten-ing intensity. “Sometimes in the sum-mer, we have to dial him back,” coach Tim Devericks said. “I mean, he’s ready to go. We say: ‘Hey, we’re not to that point yet.’ He under-stands but he just has one speed - and it’s we’re playing football, here we go.”Offensive line coach Spen-cer Pasciolla said: “Trying to block Chaffin at the second level has been a tough ask for some of our guys, so we feel really good when we do get them. It let’s us know that we did something right because those guys are legit. He looks huge and his processing is getting faster. They’re going to a new defense this year, so everybody is trying to get on the same page. But as far as I can tell, he’s picking it up fast.”The starting job beside Chaffin is a competition be-tween senior Archer Richard-son and junior Dylan Miller. Richardson was fourth last year with 63 stops, while Miller got some varsity expe-rience as a sophomore. Davie will be in good shape no matter who wins that battle. “They are battling it out to see who can take that spot,” Devericks said. “I’d say they’re both going to play a lot, so that’s a good situation. They are very comparable. Archer might be a little more physical and Dylan might be a little bit faster. That’s two good options for us.”Keep an eye on junior Luke Wayne, who looks like a fantastic backup to Chaffin. “Elijah has a good back-up,” Devericks said. “Luke might be the best I’ve seen in a while at being able to work laterally, fit where the ball carrier is going and not get caught in traffic. He can find a way through there somehow and not get picked off by a tackle or something like that. He just has a knack for feeling where it’s going to be and a slight movement to free him-self up not to get blocked. He also loves physical contact.”Bumgarner added: “We have several good lineback-ers that should have good years. (Richardson, Miller and Wayne) are pretty solid.”Two guys are pushing for the job at outside linebacker. Devericks is salivating over Jsiere Arnold, who has sky-high potential as a sophomore. “Jsiere’s got all the tools,” Devericks said. “It’s just a matter of having him realize what he’s got in him. Some-times he’s great and some-times we have to prod him to get him there, and that’s part of being young. But he has all the physical tools.”Junior Austin Heath is a big move-in who began turn-ing heads immediately. “He worked out with us all spring and summer (after moving to Davie County in the winter),” Devericks said. “Austin is a high-motor kid who makes things happen. He likes physicality. Both of those guys (Arnold and Heath) will play a lot this year.” “(Bentley’s) physically built,” Gould said. “He got hurt at the end of the JV season. His problem is he plays the same position as Driver. He can play running back as well. He might end up working into other spots to help us. If not, he’ll be a great JV player. “(Hughes) just came in in the summer, and just through summer practices he’s looked super impressive. (Nunn) didn’t miss a workout and he’s continued to get better.”Another option out wide is senior Damien Motley. Junior Gavin Reese, a stud in the secondary, is fully capable of operating at a high level at receiver if Davie needs him to double up on occasion. “I don’t know how long Gavin can play both sides of the ball,” Devericks said. “You’ve got to play corner, then you play receiver, you return kicks, you return punts. That’s a lot on somebody to do for a whole game.”“Gavin can definitely take the top off,” Gould said. “He always thinks he’s open on the deep post ... and he usu-ally is.”Senior David Patton’s var-sity career has been wrecked my injury. He missed the last eight games of 2023 and he’s still sidelined. “David will be back probably midseason,” Devericks said. Defense has a thumper at middle linebacker “He’s bigger and way more experienced. He is always set on go.” - Coach Todd Bumgarner talking about Elijah Chaffin Defensive linemen, with coaches Terrell Wilson (left) and Randy Athey, are, from left: front - Corban O’Neil, Nathaniel Jordan, Gio Alcacio and Billy Krause; back - Braylon Arnold, Grayson Cayton, Landon Barber and Connor Dixson.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024 - B7 By Brian PittsSports Editor Davie’s secondary has had plenty of problems in recent years, allowing an average of 205 passing yards per game across five years and giving up 95 touchdown passes in those 53 games. But the secondary appears to have more pop in 2024. The headliners are a pair of third-year varsity starters - safety Connor Hood and cornerback Gavin Reese. Hood is coming off a 100-tackle season that includ-ed 12 pass breakups, and he should be even more polished as a senior. “He gives us flexibility in being able to close the deep middle of the field and he’s very good at coming down an alley as well,” coach Tim Devericks said. “It’s like the baseball analogy - you have to be strong up the middle. We have Landon Barber on the DL, we have Elijah (Chaffin) Hood, Reese lead the charge in defensive secondary at linebacker and we have Connor in the deep middle.”Reese burst onto the scene as a freshman and now he’s a seasoned junior. “He’s impressed some people in the offseason at camps,” Devericks said. “His coachability is through the roof. He can take something you’ve said one time and execute it. He’s going to be a big part of our corner group.”The other two starting safeties could be juniors Col-son Sink and Elliott Gould. “Both guys are very athletic and have pretty decent speed as well,” Devericks said. The starting corner op-posite Reese figures to be Landon King, an excellent athlete who started as a fresh-man in 2021. He looked like a potential phenom before suf-fering a devastating left knee injury in week two of 2022. Late in the first half against West Rowan, he climbed an invisible ladder in the end zone and reeled in an inter-ception. But King had to be carried off the field, missing the last nine games of that season and all of 2023. Friday at Mooresville will be his first game in two years. “I’m super excited for Landon,” Devericks said. “He’s had a rough go. He was looking to do big things two years ago when he made a phenomenal interception. Last year during basketball season he looked like the old Landon King. I’m looking for a big season from Landon.”At cornerback, the next man up is Josh Jones, a junior who has flashed some major potential. “Josh has really grown,” Devericks said. “We tell him he’s got physical tools that other corners don’t have. He’s got really long arms and he’s really strong. Sometimes he doesn’t always utilize the physical talents that he has, and that’s what we’re work-ing with Josh on. But when you talk about an all-around great kid who is willing to do anything that the team needs, that’s Josh Jones.”There is quality depth at the safety positions, with juniors Bubby Byington and CJ Moore firmly in the mix. “Bubby is kind of a jack of all trades,” Devericks said. “He might not be the tallest guy out there, but he makes up for it with his intelligence and ball skills. He’s got great ball skills. He’s just a really good athlete. “CJ is a guy who can may-be rotate between two safety spots, and he knows both. So his intelligence and his willingness to be physical is going to be beneficial to us.” 336.998.2140 RemodelWithMiller.com Our DHS Fans Are Ready To Cheer:‘GO WAR EAGLES!’ Miller’s Restaurant 710 Wilkesboro St. • Mocksville • 336-751-2621 Pre-GamePre-GamePost-GamePost-Gameor Anytime!or Anytime!

Musicians, tickets ready for CBC bluegrass festival As the new school year approach-es, college students nationwide have moved into campus dormitories and off-campus housing. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and The Cen-ter for Campus Fire Safety (CCFS) collaborate on the annual Campus Fire Safety Month campaign every September to ensure students, par-ents, and campus housing staff and administrators have the relevant in-formation and resources they need to make resident living spaces as safe as possible from fires and asso-ciated hazards. The latest statistics, according to NFPA, show that U.S. fire depart-ments responded to an estimated average of 3,331 structure fires each year in dormitories, fraternity hous-es, sorority houses, and barracks be-tween 2018 and 2022. Fires in dormitory-type proper-ties caused an annual average of 21 civilian deaths, 23 civilian injuries, and $21 million in property damage. Approximately three out of four fires in these properties began in the kitchen or cooking area, accounting for 58 percent of the civilian injuries and 11 percent of the direct property damage. Cooking equipment was in-volved in nearly eight out of 10 fires. “As students return to campus this fall, many of them will be pre-paring their own meals. Some will be using kitchen appliances for the first time or cooking food after studying or coming home late from a party,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of Outreach and Advo-cacy at NFPA and CCFS Advisory Council member. “The data tells us that more education is needed about when and where cooking hazards exist, along with ways to prevent them. Campus Fire Safety Month is a great way to raise public aware-ness of fire safety on our college campuses.” NFPA and CCFS offers tips and resources for cooking safely in res-ident housing, including these key messages:• If you are sleepy or have con- sumed alcohol, don’t use the stove or stovetop.• Stay in the kitchen while pre-paring meals; use a timer to remind you that you’re cooking.• Keep anything that can catch fire — oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains — away from your stovetop.Further, while cooking remains a leading cause of fires in campus housing, there is growing concern on college campuses about the in-creasing number of fires caused by lithium-ion batteries. Alan Sactor, vice president of the Center for Campus Fire Safety, said, “Micromobility devices like e-bikes and e-scooters and smaller electronics such as cell phones, lap-tops, and tablets are vital to the dai-ly life of college students. However, the mishandling or misuse of these batteries can lead to safety hazards such as overheating, fire, or even explosions. NFPA and the CCFS are working together to help edu-cate students on how to use, store, and charge these devices safely to reduce the risk of fire.” NFPA and CCFS provide sev-eral resources and tips for safely buying, charging, storing, and using lithium-ion batteries to help prevent fires:• Use only charging equipment that is supplied with your device.• Do not keep charging the de-vice or device battery after it is fully charged.• Stop using your device if the battery shows signs of damage, such as an unusual odor, excessive heat, popping sounds, swelling, or change in color.In 2023, CCFS launched the Micromobility/Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Reporting Program for fire safety professionals. The program aims to support the development of educational programs, policies, and advocacy efforts to help reduce the risk of these battery fires on college campuses.

The property to be offered pursuant to this notice of sale is being offered for sale, transfer and conveyance “AS IS, WHERE IS.” Neither the Trustee nor the holder of the note secured by the deed of trust/security agreement, or both, being foreclosed, nor the officers, directors, at- torneys, employees, agents or authorized representative of either the Trustee or the holder of the note make any repre- sentation or warranty relating to the title or any physical, environmental, health or safety conditions existing in, on, at or relating to the property being offered for sale, and any and all responsibilities or liabilities arising out of or in any way relating to any such condition are ex- pressly disclaimed. Also, this property is being sold subject to all taxes, special assessments, and prior liens or prior en- cumbrances of record and any recorded releases. Said property is also being sold subject to applicable Federal and State laws. A deposit of five percent (5%) of the pur- chase price, or seven hundred fifty dol- lars ($750.00), whichever is greater, is re- quired and must be tendered in the form of certified funds at the time of the sale. If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition pri- or to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trustee, in its sole discretion, if it believes the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy.
