Living history Campers learn how families once made their own necessities This day is held each year to encourage young minds to learn lost arts from the past. This year, the arts featured were woodcarving, basket weav-ing, quilting, and butter making. At the woodcarving station, Tim Trudgeon shared how to carve a bar of ivory soap. The young learners had a choice of carving shapes such as rafts, sail boats, frogs, pigs, turtles, or even their own designs. The next station was quilting, where Sharrie Campbell and Re-nee Call shared their love of quilt-ing. They taught each camper how to make a quilt block. Camp-ers chose their own fabrics and sewed the outside edges to make a block and then were able to sew their own design in the middle of the block. Following quilting, the camp-ers made a stop at basket weav-ing with artist Cheryl Tilley. They were able to weave their own bas-kets with a plastic cup and yarn. Please See History - Page 4 According to Davie’s Gonzalez family, the most important thing they raise on the farm is grandchildren. On Aug. 19, the family helped to ensure their farm will be avail-able for their children and grandchildren to enjoy by permanently conserving it with Three Rivers Land Trust. Passing a family farm down to the next generation is often harder than it may seem. Sometimes the heirs have no interest in farming which necessitates the property to be subdivided or sold. The Gonzalez’s decision to permanently conserve their farm rem-edies that issue.Betina and Benigno Gonzalez purchased Chinquapin Farms from her father. Betina recounts how she found out about the land trust.“I was cleaning house one day and I looked up and I said ‘Lord how are we going to afford to pay for this farm?’ Because it was a substantial payment each year. And about an hour later, Randy Blackwood with NRCS called and said I have an idea for you. A conservation easement through Three Rivers Land Trust. We didn’t want to see this land developed, we wanted it to stay a farm. So, I Forever a farm Family conserves 297 acres in rural Davie Benigno Gonzalez, Betina Gonzalez and daughter Courtney Wells. - Submitted PhotoPlease See Farm - Page 5 By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record You may have noticed the yel-low school buses on the road as Davie County Schools students went back to class this week.The more than 6,000 students represent a stable and committed system, officials said.Superintendent Jeff Wallace said school administrators and teachers know what’s expected of them, and to be successful, the system also needs to keep up sup-port from parents and the com-munity.He told school board members earlier this week that the Wednes-day start of school was purpose-ful - that short first weeks of school help students, especially in lower grades.“You can lose them, especially the younger kids,” he said. “Start-ing on a Wednesday has been more productive for us.”Unlike many public school districts, Davie’s numbers contin-ue a slight increase in the number of students.Before students came on cam-pus, Wallace and staff have been meeting with principals, letting them know what is expected.“We emphasized being very intentional at the top. We’re com-mitted to holding each other more accountable.“I expect every child, 6,024 of them (early August) we have en-rolled right now, that they can go to somebody, some adult in that school with any situation they have. I expect our principals to create a culture and enviornment where they can,” Wallace said.“We want to get better. We want to improve. We need par-ents’ help. We can’t do it alone. It is not our sole responsibility to educate our children, our parents have to partner with us and we need them. They can help hold us accountable, but they need to do their part, as well.” Over 6,000 students enrolled 63 buses on roads 2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024Editorial Page USPS 149-160 171 S.

Tell us what you think The Literary Corner Renegade Writer’s Guild Smile!By Marie Craig“When you smile, your brain releases tiny molecules called neuropeptides to help fight off stress. Then other neu-rotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and endorphins come into play too. The endorphins act as a mild pain reliever, whereas the serotonin is an antidepressant.”I don’t have a biology background to understand what these big words really mean, but the whole concept of hap-piness/smiling/pretending is appealing to me. I do think that this is a valid concept. I have a theory that when most of us were wearing masks in public a couple years ago that we were training ourselves that it didn’t matter if we were smil-ing or not, since nobody could see inside that mask. We just had private poker faces as we saw friends and strangers in the stores or at church. Perhaps we got into the habit of not showing joy on our faces and now we are stuck with these blah expressions and resulting negative feelings. If smiling can make us happy and well, not smiling can make us sad and unhealthy physically and mentally. It’s a contentious environment right now as people face high prices and caustic political views against each other. We have problems, but we also need to be happy and encourage each other. It’s too bad there’s not a monitor such as a blood pressure cuff or thermometer that would rate our personal smile health. Laughter is also thought to be a good therapy for us. “Laughing is internal jogging” is a quote I read once. Years ago, four of us couples would take turns eating supper in each other’s homes. We would tell funny stories and laugh until our ribs hurt. Wonder if anybody does that anymore? I hope so. We would always feel better and more optimistic after these great sharing sessions. Good clean humor goes a long way toward helping people cope. Television used to be funny and helpful. I don’t have TV service anymore because it’s sometimes so lewd and full of yucky language, that I choose not to pay money to be of-fended. Call me old fashioned; that’s me, I guess. Things could be better and people could be happier and more grateful for the blessings they do have. Look around to see if anybody is watching you closely. If not, turn your smile on. Hold it. Do you feel those molecules and neurotransmitters racing around inside you making you happier and less depressed? Practice this and then try it out in public to enhance your life. Thrive In ’24 – ‘25By Julie Terry Cartner‘Twas the night before school’s start and all through the halls,The ghosts of past students pass by still silent walls.The echoes of banter from children and teensAs they learn skills of life and scholarly means,The tip-tapping clatter of high heels and boots,Will vie with the chatter, the laughter and hoots.The swish-slide of sneakers, the flip of the flops,Will mingle with gossip, lectures and shop. New backpacks now filled with pencils and pens,Bright colored notebooks, both women’s and men’s,And rulers and tissues, cause zippers to strain,‘Cause the sides bulge out like the student’s brain. Inside each classroom the teachers prepareWith lessons, and rules to make everything fair.Pictures and quotes fill bulletin boardsDesigned to engage, to lure in the hoardsOf cautious students who want to learnAnticipation warring with fears and concern. The thing to remember – all are on the same teamTo make learning relevant, engaging, supreme.So good luck and best wishes to both young and oldAnd all those between – be brave and be bold.Seek to learn and learn to seek.Strive for greatness, be daring, not meek. Make this year the brightest, the greatest, sublime.Learn, and grow, speak out, and design.Strive for great learning, and earn what you’re dueAnd most importantly, be the best you can you. Another Friend Says GoodbyeBy Gaye HootsThree weeks ago, one of my closest friends called me to tell me that his best friend had passed away. Both men were 92 years old and had been friends for many years. Jimmy lived near Jefferson, NC, and I had taken Leo there to visit him several times. After I moved to the coast, his grandson took him for visits. They talked daily on the phone. Jimmy had heart problems, and his health had declined to the point that he was housebound and cared for by his daughter ,and he had home health care.Neither of the men planned to leave their homes and were grateful they could stay there. Leo had survived strokes but recovered and the day before this fatal brain bleed, he told me he had mowed his yard. From the time Jimmy died, Leo told me daily that he didn’t know how much time he had left but that he was prepared to go when God called him. His most fervent wish was to be able to maintain his independence un-til his death.Leo was lucky to have his son living beside him, his grandson in an adjoining property, and his daughter within walking distance. He had several great-grandchildren and visits from them brightened his days. Leo attended a Luther-an church from his childhood until his death and participated the Sunday before his death. He had lost most of his friends from church one by one to death.When his son called to tell me what had happened to him, I asked him to get in touch with a female friend who also spoke with him daily. On my last visit to Leo, I took him to visit her but only remembered her last name. Carson told me Leo had no numbers stored in his phone but placed all calls from memory. I was amazed as there was only one number I had memorized. The others are stored in my phone. I have my daughter’s written in my purse in case something happens to my phone.Most of my female friends, other than my sister, are liv-ing and fairly healthy, but I have lost many male friends. All of them expressed the same wish, which I also espouse, and that was to die with their boots on and all were blessed to go without losing their independence.This week I received a phone call from Betty West, who is 92 and sounds very lively. She called to tell me her husband knew my father well and had always appreciated his humor. That made my day. I inherited his ability to laugh at myself and have not run out of opportunities yet. To the editor:I had the pleasure of seeing two Baptisms this past week-end; performed by two different churches using the Davie Family YMCA pool. It is amazing to see the power of the Lord working in peo-ples’ lives, young and old. I feel blessed to be in the position of aquatics director to make this possible. Many questions arise during these events like: do you have to be a member to get swim lessons? Do you have them on Saturdays? The answer is always yes. Are the prices reasonable? Yes, they are. We offer private and group lessons. I thank the lord every day for the many blessings I receive in my life. Always remember the Lord walks with you every-day and you get to choose Good or Evil. The Lord's blessings flow like a river, they will fall like the rain, He will rise up like a mountain in orie or the land, and the power of the Lord will fill all the earth and the spirit of the Lord shall come.Go ye now in peace and spread the word of the Lord. Charlie Tucker, Davie YMCAMocksville By Mike WaldenNCSU 2024 began with optimism for the economy. Despite rela-tively high interest rates and efforts by the Federal Reserve to slow the pace of the economy in order to reduce the inflation rate, a recession was avoided. The hope for a “soft landing” in the economy, where price gains are moderated without push-ing the economy into reverse, seemed to have been achieved. And hope increased that the Fed would begin reducing its key interest rate sometime during the year.But a few weeks ago this optimism seemed to disappear. In one day the Dow-Jones stock average, one of the most followed measures of the stock market, dropped a head-line-grabbing 1000 points. This drop followed a disappoint-ing job market report and a jump in the unemployment rate. It was also reported that after the higher jobless rate was posted, one indicator of the future economy called the Sahm Rule was now predicting a recession.Immediately I received numerous calls for my interpre-tation of what’s going on with the economy. In my answers I first gave background for the factors shaping the current economy. I then followed with a discussion of likely forecasts of where it will go. I will attempt to do the same here.The Covid-19 pandemic and resulting recession prompted the federal government to “go big” with fiscal policy. Fiscal policy is the government using the tools of taxes and spend-ing to impact the economy. The worry during the pandemic was that the economy wouldn’t recover and the jobless rate would linger in the double digits. As a result, during 2020, 2021 and part of 2022 the federal government pushed trillions of dollars into the economy in the form of program spending and financial support to households and businesses. At the same time, monetary policy, which is operated by the Fed, expanded the money supply by trillions of dollars and pushed interest rates to historic lows. In the second half of 2020, the economy began roaring back. By the end of 2020, the jobless rate had been cut in half, and the annual all-item inflation rate was at a low 1.3%. It looked like the economy was on to a strong, low inflation recovery.But what was different from previous recoveries from a recession — and what policymakers didn’t anticipate — was global supply chain problems which kept a variety of prod-ucts off the shelves. Hence, just when households were flush with cash — compliments of government financial assistance — and ready to spend, there was less available for them to buy. The shortages impacted everything from homes to pa-per towels to lumber. There was an enormous gap between the amount people wanted to buy (“demand” in economics lingo) and the amount available to sell (“supply” in econom-ics-speak). The result was a sustained jump in prices, with the annual inflation rate reaching 9.1% in June 2022.Although the Fed was late in anticipating the problem, by 2022 the Fed reversed its monetary policy and began rais-ing interest rates and cutting the money supply in order to slow consumer spending and moderate price hikes. Also, at the same time the global supply was being fixed and shelves became full. The combination of less robust “demand” and greater “supply” allowed the annual inflation rate to drop to near 3%, still higher than in 2020, but a sign of progress.Topping these achievements is the fact that they’ve been accomplished without a recession, which is unusual. This brings us to today. Will the Fed continue to be able to claim the glory of cutting average price gains to a more normal 1% to 2% with no recession in the process? For those inclined to answer “no,” there are three wor-ries. Households have run through their COVID savings and will have to increasingly borrow to sustain spending. But this can’t last forever, so at some point consumers may reduce spending, thereby causing businesses to cut payrolls and em-ployees. Until recently, investment markets have been booming. Since 2021, the stock market is up 25%, and average home prices have surged 33%. If deep cracks appear in the econo-my, investments like stocks and real estate could begin losing value, with the losses sparking trauma in the economy.Last, while the Fed perceives these concerns and has sig-naled a readiness to begin reducing interest rates, the fear is the Fed may have waited too long. Pessimists say the damage In the mail Y aquatics director feeling blessed Please See Economy ‑ Page 7 Is a recession imminent for nation’s economy? Imagine this.There’s a mother in a foreign country, doing her best to take care of her adult, autistic and disabled son.She goes to the local Christian center, where she can get medical care and food. She turns around, and her son is gone. Nowhere to be seen. And many of those around her are speaking in a language she doesn’t understand.This happened last week in Mocksville, and what hap-pened next should make us all proud.The woman - who did not speak English - was at A Store-house for Jesus when her son walked off, just disappeared. They looked outside, and he was nowhere to be found.A call to 911 was made.As police and first responders arrived, almost immediate-ly, this woman began to panic. She was worried because she couldn’t understand what they were saying. She wasn’t sure if they were there to look for her son or arrest them all.An interpreter eased her nerves, and the best of Davie County went to work.Those first responders - which included just about every emergency agency and fire department in the county - didn’t care about the woman’s issue with language. They had one thing on their minds: find her son, who with limited mental capacity, could be in danger.They deployed drones. Officers started traffic stops, show-ing a photo to all passing motorists. They patrolled the streets around A Storehouse. They had off-road vehicles at the ready.Yes, we should be proud of that emergency response. Re-member, they will do the same for you and your family: stop their already busy lives to come and help. Some were paid, many were volunteers. They always seem to show up when the chips are down for someone.It turns out that there are more reasons to be proud. Be-cause of that influx of quick information about the missing man, most people in the surrounding neighborhoods knew what was going on.And this disabled young man happened to walk by a house in a nearby subdivision that had a basketball goal in the drive. And a ball right underneath it. He liked balls, and stopped to play.The resident went out, offered him a drink and someone to play ball with and talk to while his mother was summonsed. It couldn’t have worked out any better.It reminds me of a song I heard “The Hot Mud Family” sing, written many years ago, that goes something like this:“You don’t love God; if you don’t love your neighbor, if you gossip about him, if you never have mercy, if he gets into trouble and you don’t try to help him; well if you don’t love your neighbor, then you don’t love God.”Thankfully, in Davie County, we love our neighbors. If you get into trouble here, someone will be there to help.Thank God.- Mike Barnhardt In Davie County, we do love our neighbors DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024 - 3Dateline Fundraisers Saturday, Sept. 14Community breakfast, Mocks Church, Mocks Church & Beauchamp roads, Advance, 6:30-10 a.m. Pork tenderloin, country ham, eggs, grits, sausage gravy, biscuits, beverages.

To us, it’s important to conserve land and leave it for generations to come.“We’re only here for a lit-tle while, and actually when you buy a piece of property it’s like you’re renting it, you’re not really owning it, you’re just renting it for while you’re here. “This land will always be a farm. It will always be trees growing and creeks running through it and the children able to do what they need to do. If they decide to sell it, then it’s sold, but the conser-vation easement stays with it. It will always be a farm. Farm ... Betina and Benigno Gonzalez with Three Rivers staff members Crystal Cockman and Travis Morehead. You can’t ask for anything more than that,” she said.This 297-acre farm is lo-cated just a short drive from Mocksville in Davie County. This is one of the more rap-idly developing portions of Three Rivers Land Trust’s region. And land prices in this part of the region contin-ue to increase, as developers race to provide housing for commuters to Bermuda Run and Winston-Salem, said Emily Callicutt, Three Riev-ers senior land protection specialist.“Just in the short time since we started working on this project, land prices in this area have doubled. We’re fortunate to have great landowners like the Gonza- lez family who understand the importance of conserving farmland and our region’s rural character, while open lands like this are still avail-able.” “Three Rivers Land Trust is also very fortunate to have funding partners who sup-port us in our effort to save family farms like the Gonza-lez farm,” states Executive Director Travis Morehead. “We are grateful for the sup-port of the state and federal farmland trust funds as well as our corporate partners, including Chick-Fil-A and SC Johnson. We would not be able to do this vital work without these partnerships.”This project was made possible by funding from the NC Agricultural Develop-ment and Farmland Preser-vation Trust Fund, the USDA Agricultural Conservation Easement Program, and the support of other TRLT members.

In 1995 at a small office in Badin, the LandTrust for Central North Carolina (the future Three Rivers Land Trust) was born. Its mission was to con-serve the natural areas, rural landscapes, family farms, and historic places in the central Piedmont of North Carolina. Land trusts were a relatively new concept, but conservationists saw the need for land protection ef-forts in the growing central Piedmont. With a committed group of leaders like Ed Clement, first board president, the land trust soon relocated to Salis-bury, where it flourished. With the financial support of conservationists like Fred and Alice Stanback, the late Bill and Nancy Stanback, and other regional leaders the land trust began to fulfill its mission by permanent-ly conserving its first proj-ect, an 1,800-acre property in Davie County known as Cooleemee Plantation. Now, 29 years later, with the protection of a 297-acre farm also in Davie County, Three Rivers Land Trust has permanently conserved over 50,000 acres. “Conserving over 50,000 acres is a major milestone for the organization. The cred-it for this achievement lies with our incredible donors and partners that share our commitment to the region’s natural resources” states Tra-vis Morehead, executive di-rector of Three Rivers.Today TRLT has three fo-cus areas: expanding public lands, saving family farms, and protecting local waters. “Over our history, TRLT has transferred over 8,000 acres of land to local, state, and federal agencies where they are accessible to the public. These lands are lo-cal parks, additions to state parks, new state game-lands, or part of the Uwharrie Na-tional Forest,” states Crystal Cockman, associate director. “A larger component of our conservation work has been the commitment to save local family farms. Since 1995 we have conserved over 19,000 acres of agricultural lands and protected over 360 miles of river and stream corri-dors in our region. All these efforts help make a positive impact on our natural re-sources and the quality of life in our region now and into the future.” As one of the nation’s fastest growing states, North Carolina continues to grow in prosperity and popula-tion. New mega sites are being developed across the state, spurning new growth in more rural parts of North Carolina. With this new growth an increased demand for housing and services is also more prevalent, dimin-ishing conservation opportu-nities, Morehead said. “The focus from our in- ception to today and going forward is the conservation of our region’s natural re-sources and rural lands. Our organization and the work we do becomes more import-ant with each passing day.” Gifford Pinchot found-er of the US Forest Service, said: “Unless we practice conservation, those who come after us will have to pay the price of misery, deg-radation, and failure for the progress and prosperity of our day.” “Pinchot is reminding us that we cannot be so short sighted that we forget the generations that will come after us. Thankfully a small group of visionary conser-vationists set out with future generations in mind,” More-head said.Learn how to support Three Rivers’ conservation efforts or to conserve prop-erty contact Emily Callicutt, senior land protection spe-cialist, at emily@trlt.org.

Continued From Pagw 2 has already been done and a reces-sion is already baked into the cake.And although the optimistic camp doesn’t expect a recession, it recognizes these three worries. Optimists agree consumer spending and the labor market are slowing, investment markets may give back some of their gains, and the Fed has been slow to cut rates and in-crease the money supply. But while the pessimists see these conditions leading to recession, optimists see them resulting in a slowdown. In-deed, optimists point out that the recent increase in the jobless rate wasn’t due to job losses, but hap-pened because the number of jobs created was less than the number of new people looking for jobs. So optimists expect the economy to continue to grow, just at a slower pace. Optimists see a slowdown, not a meltdown, in the economy.Let me throw in my two cents ACROSS 1. (K) Ginger___ (cookie) 5.

Each month I con-struct a leading economic index for the North Carolina economy. The index has been relatively stable for the past year, suggesting a path of continued growth in the state.At the beginning of 2024 I fore-casted a bumpy national economy for the year. By bumpy I meant some pullback in growth and in-vestments, as well as some months where the jobless rate would rise, but no sustained period where the important elements of the economy all declined. Hence, the choice for the remain-der of 2024 appears to be between negative growth and a recession, or slower growth — which can result in higher joblessness — but no re-cession. Which makes the most sense? You decide.Mike Walden is a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor Emeritus at N.C.State University. 8 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024 By Linda ErnstCo-Chair, DavieWomen’s Auxiliary In February of 2024 Sue Whittaker and Linda Ernst decided that they would like to to form a women’s group to meet other Davie County women and to help make the community a better place to live by working together. So on a cold and rainy day in March, there was a meeting at Linda’s house to determine if there was enough interest. More than 25 women showed up. Sue and Linda decided there was enough interest and began work to decide where meet-ings would be held and who would benefit. The new Davie Women’s Auxiliary now meets at the Habitat ReStore in Bermuda Run, after a first meeting at the home of one of the organizers. As more women discov-ered what was going on there were more who wanted to attend the meetings. We had a problem of trying to find a good place to meet. That was solved by Jessie Elmore at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore at Bermuda Quay Shopping Center. There was more than enough room to meet there and since it is a store filled with furniture it was more than comfortable and more than enough room for the growing group.Jessie also provided the first program as she told what Habitat For Humanity in Da-vie County and the ReStore was accomplishing. One thing of particular interest is called “Critical Repairs,” where volunteers make small repair jobs in people’s homes - helping them to remain in their homes. This was defi-nitely making the communi-ty better and members agreed to partner with Jessie to help make more of that happen.Some of the projects planned for this year for the Davie Women’s Auxiliary are to assist the American Red Cross with blood drives at the ReStore, partner with Ronald McDonald House, to fill the community with luminaries, assist the town with the 25-year celebration, assist with Christmas in Ber-muda Run, sell poinsettias on Dec. 2 at the ReStore, and have a fundraiser dinner at Bermuda Village to benefit Habitat For Humanity Davie County’s Critical Repairs. If you are a woman in Davie and want to be a part of something larger than yourself, join the group. Contact Whittaker at sueakag@gmail.com or Ernst at lernst2@triad.rr.com. Judy Rush designed the group’s logo. Linda Ernst and Sue Whittaker welcome new mem-bers to the Davie Women’s Auxiliary. New women’s group formed By Josh JarmanNovant Health On Monday, Aug. 19, before most people finished their first cup of coffee, Chris Roseboro arrived at Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center for a surgery to in-sert a smart device designed to monitor and prevent the worsening of his heart failure condition.Implanted in a small pulmonary artery branch, the paperclip-sized sensor, known as CardioMEMS, has been on the market for a while, but was a revelation to Roseboro when he first learned about it.“I have been in and out of different hospitals for years with congestive heart failure issues,” the Davie resident said. “It was the same story every time, a buildup of fluid in my lungs made it hard to breathe. So, you can imag-ine how interested I was to learn that there is a way for my doctor to know what’s going on with my heart, and what we need to do to fix it, before I end up back in the hospital.”This technology, which was first introduced in 2014 for heart failure patients, received FDA approval for expanded use in at-risk heart failure patients in 2022. The sensor is designed to alert the patient’s care team with any significant rise in lung pressures. This warning system allows the heart fail-ure team to work with the pa-tient, through targeted medi-cation changes, to avoid the need for hospital admission.“I often tell my patients that heart failure monitoring via CardioMEMS is a lot like monitoring a river gauge to prevent a flood,” said Dr. Hassan Alhosaini, Novant Health’s medical director for advanced heart disease and pulmonary hypertension in the greater Winston-Salem region. “The CardioMEMS sensor allows us to receive daily lung pressure readings to determine whether the patient cardiac function is worsening. This kind of in-telligence allows us to make real-time adjustments to the patient’s medical regimen, which usually involves a change in medication dos-es or prescribing additional treatments. “Ultimately, we’re aim-ing to identify early signs of progression of disease and provide individualized care to improve patient out-comes.”Roseboro, who spent most of his career as a tex-tile manager in Gastonia, is looking forward to the next chapter of his life.“It feels good knowing that my doctors are keep-ing an eye on me,” he said. “I’m going to turn 75 next month, and I want to spend a lot more time with my three kids and 11 grandchildren, outside of having them visit me at the hospital.”A clinical assessment from a Novant Health heart failure specialist is required to determine if a patient qualifies for this implant-able technology. If a patient does qualify, the sensor will be inserted through a heart catheterization outpatient procedure performed at For-syth Medical Center.

In the season opener at Moores-ville on Friday, the War Eagles slammed face-first into a brick wall and lost by 46. It was the wrong kind of perfect storm. Mooresville re-turned 15 starters (eight on offense, seven on defense) from an 11-1 team. Davie is completely rebuilding on offense. That chemistry, experience and confidence was a devastating ad-vantage for the Blue Devils, who crushed Davie 66-20. “Mooresville is a fantastic team and we have youth at some posi-tions,” coach Tim Devericks said after the worst loss in 29 years. “That’s OK, we just can’t let that be an excuse. I think there’s plays we left out on the field.”In the worst start imaginable, the Blue Devils drove 78, 36, 54, 47 and 60 yards to take a 35-0 lead in the first quarter. They scored twice in nine seconds as two TDs sand-wiched a successful onside kick. In that disastrous first quarter, they bulldozed Davie to the tune of 265 yards and 12 first downs. Converse-ly, Davie had 16 yards and zero first downs in three possessions. Things only got worse in the sec-ond quarter. The Blue Devils rolled 95 yards to make it 42-0 and their all-star linebacker, Indiana commit Jamari Farmer, sacked Aiden Hall for a 16-yard loss. He forced a fum-ble on the play, scooped the ball and eased 17 yards to the end zone. Mooresville got the ball with 1:15 remaining in the half. It moved 61 yards in nine plays and closed the half with a 27-yard field goal. The nightmare halftime score was 52-0. In the half, the Blue Devils scored on all eight possessions (seven TDs, one FG), picked up 424 yards, went 8 for 8 on third-down conversions and averaged 9.4 yards per play. By contrast, Davie went 1 for 8 on third downs and averaged 2.6 yards per play. Devericks is hoping the emotion-al impact is not devastating as Davie prepares for its home opener against West Rowan. “It was 14 points, 21 points, 28 points - it snowballed,” Devericks said. “We just can’t let the season snowball on us. I think we’ll get better (this) week.”As if that wasn’t bad enough, Braddock Coleman, a senior receiv-er who was looking to do big things after making 42 catches in 2023, had to be helped off the field in the first half with a knee injury. One of the team’s biggest talents could be lost for the year. What a shame. On top of that, the main man on the defensive line, senior Landon Barber, left in the first half and didn’t return. Fortu-nately, he’s expected back this week. “I couldn’t be prouder of Brad-dock,” Devericks said. “Obviously he was very disappointed in getting injured, but he didn’t stray very far from the white line (on the side-line) and he was yelling out there positively and trying to encourage those guys.” The second half saw a mercy-rule running clock. Mooresville called off the dogs, only attempting two passes, and Davie found the end zone three times, twice on offense and once on special teams. “I challenged them at halftime and I saw a spark in them, and that’s something we can build off of,” Devericks said. The most positive sign was Hall, the backup QB who replaced Leon Bradshaw at the start of the second quarter on Davie’s fourth posses-sion. The junior completed 13 of 22 passes for 179 yards, without an interception. “Getting his chance, he made some good, quick reads and got rid of the ball,” Devericks said. “We had two freshmen (Landon Hughes and Noah Dulin) who made catches; that’s a positive.”Davie suffered its sixth-worst loss in 69 years despite the great-ness of receiver Ethan Driver (six catches, 122 yards). Not that it’s breaking news, but the junior is absurdly good. He hauled in 34-, 32- and 38-yard grabs, including acrobatic catches that evoked looks of disbelief from Mooresville faces. “I don’t know what the word is to describe Ethan other than special,” Devericks said. “He is a silent leader. If we can get people to get on his bandwagon with his work ethic, we’ve got something brewing. I know the score doesn’t reflect that, and that’s OK, but there’s something brewing.”When it was 59-0 late in the third, Driver’s 32-yard reception led to Braxton Bowling’s 5-yard TD to get Davie on the board. Hall’s 37-yard completion to Landon Waller came one snap before Davie’s biggest play of the game, a 43-yard TD run by Ja-mariusPelote. Davie’s special teams capped the scoring with 80 seconds remaining. CJ Moore blocked a punt and Zi Robinson jumped on the ball in the end zone. While the season began with The Davie cross country team opened its season at Charlotte’s McAlpine Park on Saturday. The War Eagles were among 54 regis-tered schools from across the Car-olinas and Tennessee and turned in several outstanding performances. Both Davie squads competed in the Invitational Division as the boys battled a field of 211 finishers rep-resenting 28 full and several partial teams.The boys’ race came down to the wire as host Providence narrowly outdueled Davie for the team title, 80-86. James Island of South Car-olina was a single point back and claimed third place with 87 points.The individual race was dominat-ed by runners in orange and black as Davie senior Thomas Essic cruised to victory in a time of 16:14, a mere two seconds off of his personal re-cord time for the 5k distance. Junior Essic, Lakey 1-2 out of 211 runners By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Russ Fisher’s first game as the Davie boys soccer coach was ev-erything he hoped it would be, a 9-1 home win over Southeast Guilford on Aug. 12. If anyone deserved some joy, it was the War Eagles, who finished 1-20 last year while scoring 15 goals. “I couldn’t ask for better,” Fisher said. “When we scored about 30 seconds in, I was like: ‘Alright, here we go.’”Both teams were punching bags in 2023, when the Falcons went 1-21. This marked their 21st con-secutive loss. No one had a bigger night than junior Justin Rayas, who poured in three goals and added two assists. To put that effort in perspective, the 2023 scoring leader for Davie was Santiago Maganda with three goals. Rayas matched that in a couple hours. It was Davie’s first hat trick in six years; Luke Stillson had three goals in a 6-5 win at Atkins in 2018. “He’s very talented,” Fisher said. “Like I’ve said before, we have a very talented midfield. He’s definitely a good centerpiece for us. He can create. He has a really good shot at the goal and has a really good head on his shoulders, too. He knows Davie soccer wins big in coach’s debut Please See Soccer - Page B5 teammate Ethan Lakey grabbed the runner-up spot with a time of 16:26, which was a five-second PR. Junior Brayden Kistner was 18th in 17:32, which was his all-time best performance by 13 seconds. Fellow junior Logan Zuleger turned in a 31-second PR as he claimed 25th in 17:44. Senior Tyler Hill rounded out the scoring with a 40th-place showing in 18:10.Sophomore Jacob Steelman improved on his previous best time by 14 seconds as he crossed the line in 49th place with a time of 18:24. Junior Jackson Sulecki nabbed 60th as his time of 18:38 was a 22-second PR. Senior Chris Devicente joined Sulecki in breaking 19:00 for the first time with a time of 18:55. That mark was a 24-second PR and was good for 71st.•••The Davie girls did not register a team score as they only had four finishers. Junior Lexi Marion led the way with a time of 21:00, which was a new personal best time by 21 seconds. Freshman Rachel Starkey made her debut a memorable one as she was the second Davie runner across the line as she placed 59th in 23:17. Junior Isabella Schilling turned in a six-second PR as her time of 25:53 landed her in 116th place, one spot ahead of sophomore teammate Kinsley Shinsky, who finished in 25:54.•••In the JV races, sophomore Patrick Brady turned in a huge PR of 21:18, which was 1:12 better than his previous fastest time. Tyler Deaver (22:22), Ty Greene (22:37) and Ronin Dailey (25:32) also com-peted for the War Eagles.

Davie opened with a 3-0 home loss to East Surry, which was coming off a 25-3 record in 2023, on Aug. 13. Ashe County, which finished 21-4 last year, traveled to Mocksville and slipped away with a five-set win on Aug. 15. Davie lost 3-0 at South Iredell on Aug. 20. The fourth loss in four matches - at home to West Davidson on Aug. 22 - was close. The scores were 26-28, 22-25, 27-25, 26-24, 12-15. This is Davie’s longest losing streak since an 0-5 start in 2014.

Other Davie runners were Alexa Villa (33:57) and Maggie Smith (34:16).“We did some good things today,” said coach Rob Rais-beck. “Our goal is to run well in late October and November at the championship races so we use these early season invitationals to work on race tactics and see where we are compared to the other teams we will be competing with as we try to qualify for states. “The main thing we want-ed to do today was to run as a pack and help each other in the race. I think the guys did a god job of executing that.“It was a lot of fun to see two of our guys take the top two spots in the race. Thomas and Ethan are training at a high level right now. The rest of our varsity guys have taken a cue from our veterans and are also training hard. “We still need a little more consistency out of a few guys, but with school starting I think the team will continue to come together. We had seven PRs out of our top nine, so that is positive. It is easier to get the team to buy into our training regimen when they can see they are getting faster.“Our girls did good things as well, although numbers continue to be down. Lexi ran a strong race and she is healthy after having some issues last year,. Rachel, Is-abella and Kinsley had good efforts. We will get one of our top five back for the next race and that will give us a boost. All in all it was a positive start to the season and Saturday’s performance gives us some-thing to build on.”Next up for the Davie run-ners is the Friday Night Lights Sept. 6 at Kernersville’s Ivey Redmon Park.

Eric Heal (13 car-ries, 109 yards), Ja’Dari-us McCombs (8-68) and third-stringer Malachi Gwyn (5-90) barreled downhill all night as Mooresville racked up 351 rushing yards. Junior quarterback Brody Norman was splendid, hitting 16 of 22 passes for 239 yards and three TD passes. When he wasn’t throwing precise pass-es to open receivers, he was running for 90 yards and two more TDs. Meanwhile for Davie, Bowling did well in his first action in the varsity backfield. A sophomore who played in the secondary in 2023, he ran 15 times for 68 yards. Pelote (5-56) averaged 11.2 yards per carry thanks to the long TD run. And Driver enhanced his reputation as a star by surpassing 100 receiving yards for the seventh time in 12 varsity games. Notes: The Blue Devils resumed their skyrocketing success by extending their regular-season winning streak to 29. ... Davie has dropped three straight in the series. ... This was the most points allowed since a 69-37 loss at Grimsley in the 2022 play-offs. ... This was the worst set- By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s JV football team was fearless at the jump - it burst to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter - and it withstood a Mooresville rally to win the season opener 20-12 at home on Aug. 22. The first score of the sea-son was a picture-perfect deep ball from Draeton Nance to receiver Jayce Bentley, who caught the bomb in stride and sped down the right sideline for a 6-0 lead. The freshman quarterback had some hiccups (three inter-ceptions), but his big comple-tions were a major reason the War Eagles came away with a win. Nance finished 10 of 18 for 209 yards, including two touchdown passes. “He’s got to settle down and protect the football, but he’ll be alright,” offensive coordinator Matt Gould said. “He just had some jitters.”Freshman running back Brandon Forrest made a 27-yard run to the Mooresville 2 to set up his short TD plunge on the last play of the first quarter. Nance converted a two-point run to give Davie the 14-0 advantage. back since 64-0 to Salisbury in 1995. ... The top five losses, in terms of margin, in Davie history: 64-0 to Salisbury in 1995, 63-0 to Mooresville in Crushed ... 1974, 60-0 to Anson County in 1990, 55-0 to Statesville in 1985 and 58-6 to Concord in 1957. ... Davie will be at home this Friday night at 7 against West Rowan. Nance throws for 209 as JVs beat Mooresville After a scoreless second quarter, the Blue Devils ral-lied in the third. They got on the board with a 68-yard run. Their two-point try failed, though, as Easton Sanders intercepted a pass in the end zone. Mooresville’s next score was aided by a Davie miscue. The snap to the Davie punter was a bouncer and Moores-ville took possession at the Davie 32. Moments later, it scored on a 24-yard run. But Davie remained in front, 14-12, as it stuffed a running play up the middle. Freshman Noah Dulin took the ensuing kickoff all the way to the house, only to see it brought back by a holding penalty. But Davie shook that off and mounted a drive that kept it in control. On fourth and 6 from the Davie 34, the dual-threat Nance made a huge play with his feet, rolling left to avoid pressure and gaining 19 yards. A 15-yard penal-ty against Mooresville was tacked on and Nance burned Mooresville with his arm moments later, placing the ball over two defenders and connecting with his brother Dulin for a 24-yard TD with 2:38 left in the third. Davie failed on the two-point try but had the 20-12 lead. “(Dulin) is going to be a special player,” Gould said. “He made some big plays.”The Davie defense took care of the rest. The War Ea-gles got a turnover on downs at their 31 with 5:42 to go, and after Mooresville intercepted Nance with 4:25 left, the defense came through with another turnover on downs after Mooresville had driven inside the Davie 15. Davie got the ball with only 2:46 left and Nance’s 30- and 19-yard completions to Bentley nailed down the victory. “(Nance) sealed the game with those two throws (to Bentley) on the last drive,” Gould said. “He made some great throws. His legs will be a good weapon to have all year. He can create plays out of the pocket, scrambling or running and throwing if they come up. So that will definite-ly be a huge weapon for us.”The defense impressed coach Tim Devericks. Re-member, one of Mooresville’s two scores came on a short field after the botched punt. Causing havoc on the d-line were sophomores Jathan Red-mond, Ean Click, Marcus Fortune and Xzavier Sim-mons. And freshman Finley Sink’s hair was on fire at linebacker. “Jathan is a workhorse,” Devericks said. “He was making plays in the backfield. He had a phenomenal game. “Finley was flying all over the field.”Offensively, the OL is green, but there’s no shortage of talent at the skill positions. Forrest (50 yards on 10 car-ries) and Javon Carter rotated at running back, and Bentley turned in 123 yards on three receptions. Nance hooked up with six receivers, including Dulin (two catches for 44 yards), Blake French, Mack Ridenhour, Ian Patton and James Mayfield. “We have a good group (of skill guys),” Gould said. “We had two running backs play; I think we had five or six receivers get in the game. We’ve got a lot of faith in all those guys.“We’re starting almost all freshmen up front, but they’re learning and getting better each day. They’re going to be alright.”Freshmen Carter Cornett and Cannon Smith had INTs, and Redmond recovered a fumble. Accepting New Patients!

If you have a referee issue or anoth-er-player-on-the-field issue, he knows when to pull some-body back and say: ‘Hey, let’s keep our focus on the game.’ So he’s definitely going to be a big part for us this year.”Sophomore Max Rap-paport, sophomore Ethan Christie, junior Jaxon Cruse, senior Gage Whitaker, soph-omore Dylan Cassetta and sophomore Andy Longeres had one goal each as Davie put up the most goals in, deep breath, 18 years. Cassetta (two assists) and sophomore Hamza Heikal (one) helped Davie score the most goals since a 10-1 win at South Rowan in 2006. “He had a very quiet stat line, but Ethan was dom-inant,” Fisher said. “He’s an ECNL National player, so he’s very good and most people know him if you’re coaching in the area. He’s just that good. He was a problem for Southeast in the midfield, and he contributed a lot to our success.”The starting defenders did good work as Davie stopped a nine-game losing streak. Give credit to seniors Karson Yount, Alex Torres and Zach Hill and sophomore Hernan Granadero. “The defense was great,” he said. “It was a really good feeling to have the defense hold strong like that.”Starmount 2, Davie 0The second game, though, left a lot to be desired, espe-cially in the first half. Star- In the second half of the season opener, Davie’s JV soccer team seemed destined for its eighth straight loss dating to 2023. But the War Eagles dug down and found a way to force a 2-2 tie in Chris Ferger’s coaching debut on Aug. 21. “I will definitely take a tie over a loss any day,” Ferger said. “Everybody worked hard.”But things were not work-ing out for most of the game. The Greyhounds led 1-0 at halftime and they pushed their lead to 2-0 before David Hernandez sparked the rally with 20 minutes remaining.

In the second half we played better, but to beat good teams we have to be better and play to our potential.”Davie 7, SEG 2The War Eagles did not register a quick knockout like they did in the first meeting, but they still took care of busi-ness at Southeast Guilford on Aug. 19. Christie had 2 goals as Davie pulled away in the second half after leading 2-1 at intermission. Kellan Wiles, Rayas, Yount, Rappaport and Whitaker had the other goals. Rafael Amaro had 2 assists, while Rayas and Christie had one. It did not take Davie long to surpass last year’s win total. The Falcons’ tumbled to 0-4. Davie 1, Statesville 1Heikal gave Davie a lead, but Statesville answered and that’s how things ended up at War Eagle Stadium on Aug. 21. The winless Greyhounds (0-3-1) probably felt good about the tie. “We dominated the pos-session for the most part,” Fisher said. “We had 14 shots, but we hit the crossbar five or six times. It just wouldn’t go in the back of the net for us.”Heikal staked Davie to the 1-0 lead with an assist from Yount. “It was a great play,” Fish-er said. “It came right up the middle. Karson played it over the top and Hamza just beat the defender.”Later in the first half, Statesville would tie it on a header that started with a cor-ner kick. Felipe Flores made sure that was the only time the Greyhounds found offensive success. His defenders did their part, too, as Davie en-tered the week at 2-1-1. “Felipe had a fantastic save on a free kick,” Fisher said. “That probably saved us the game. “The defense played really well. They really didn’t have many shots. Most of their shots came off of free kicks.” He tapped the ball in from close range. “He’s a team-oriented player,” Ferger said. “So no matter if he’s starting or com-ing off the bench, he always puts the team first ahead of himself.”Seven minutes later, Em-manuel Perez drilled a free kick from 20 yards out, put-ting the game-tying goal in the upper corner. “He has good leadership skills, which is why I chose him to be one of the captains,” Ferger said. “And he knows what to do with the ball.“I felt we had enough time to come back, and we did.” The roster consists of two juniors, seven sophomores and 16 freshmen. The juniors are Franchesco Bulnes and Isaiah Beaty. The sophomores are Porter Spann, Tony Vel-asco, Eric Martinez, Adriano Vega, Ronald Perez, Alex Serrano and Josh Baker. And the freshmen are William Martin, Talan Andrade, Javi Miranda, Adren Davis, Ivan Bustamente, Jean Avila, Alex Ramirez, Hernandez, Osiel Romero, E.

B6 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024 By Nelson CowdenFor the Enterprise The Davie County 4H Shooting Sports Club had a spectacular showing at the NC 4H Central Regional Shooting Sports Tournament on Aug. 17 at the Millstone 4H Camp and John M. Lentz Wildlife Education Center and Range in Ellerbe. If the math is right, the Davie club brought home 30 team and individual medals, with many personal bests. Most competitors qualified for the state tournament.Three teams of juniors participated. The DC Hunters consist-ed of Hunter Myers, Porter James, Mason Wood, Colton Lockard and Ethan Manley. This was the first 4H tourna-ment for all but Porter. The team with all members won Team Gold in Shotgun and Muzzleloader, then in com-binations also struck Team Gold in Open-Sight Rifle with Hunter, Mason, Colton and Ethan. They won Tele-scopic Rifle with Hunter, Porter, Colton and Mason; Gold in Compound Archery with Porter, Mason and Colton; and Gold in Air Ri-fle with Hunter, Mason and Ethan.

That’s what the War Eagles do every year. In the opener on the road on Aug. 13, they overmatched Forbush 9-0. In singles, Elliot Newsome, Corbin Drum, Leah Gibson, Casey Cao, Kate Chaffin and Bailey Aderhold all won 6-0, 6-0 - except for one set that was 6-1. It was more of the same in doubles as Newsome/Gib-son won 8-1, Drum/Aderhold 8-0 and Chaffin/Ola Leszczuk 8-0. Chaffin and Leszczuk could not have started their high school careers any better. “Kate got the jitters out yesterday (in a scrimmage) By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s three middle school football teams blud-geoned their season-opening opponents by an aggregate 98-6. Whoa. Ellis, a 28-0 winner at home against Corriher-Lipe on Aug. 20, only ran three offensive plays in the first half. All three resulted in touchdowns. They were: • A 45-yard pass from Mason Driver to Cam James. • A 55-yard run by Bow-man Blakely. • A 40-yard run by Driver. Also in the first half, Driv-er had a pick-six for 60 yards. The defense was equally dominant for the Jaguars, who are coming off a 5-2 record in 2023. “We only had the ball for about two minutes in the first By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Kori Bailey has stepped up in a big way in her second year on the Davie girls golf team. Last year as a sophomore, her average score in eight matches was 54.5, shooting anywhere from 47 to 59. Who would have thought her aver-age after the first two matches of 2024 would be 43.5? War Eagle tennis team starts out smoking and she rocked and rolled today,” coach Collin Ferebee said. “She really impressed me.”Then the freshmen teamed up at No. 3 doubles. Last year Chaffin was Ellis’ No. 1, while Leszczuk was the top player at North Davie. “Yeah, I’m pretty happy with the first showing in high school for the two of them,” Ferebee said. Davie 8, Reynolds 1Davie made a major state-ment in the Central Piedmont Conference opener against the visiting Demons on Aug. 19. Last year, Davie and Reynolds split a pair of 5-4 dogfights, the second match-up marking the end of two record streaks for Davie - 35 straight wins in the regular season and a 30 win streak in the CPC. But Davie had little trou-ble with the Demons this time around. The issue was settled in singles, where Davie got wins from Newsome (6-0, 6-0), Drum (6-3, 6-7, 10-7), Cao (6-3, 6-3), Aderhold (6-2, 6-1) and Chaffin (6-1, 6-1). Sweeping doubles were Newsome/Gibson (8-4), Drum/Aderhold (8-1) and Chaffin/Leszczuk (8-1). “For our first big test of the season, I think it’s harder to pass it better than we just did,” Ferebee said. Drum’s triumph in a tie-breaker was easily the most exciting match. “I think it’s a match that Corbin probably wouldn’t have won last year because she would have gotten so frazzled in her head,” Fere-bee said. “She got frustrat-ed, we talked a little bit, she took a deep breath and she won 10-point breaker. That’s where we’ve grown mentally because Corbin and Leah have taken a big jump and those are matches they wouldn’t have done as well in last year. That really bodes well for the future.”Ferebee gave the player of the match to Gibson because of the way the sophomore responded from her loss to junior Elizabeth Kim. In dou-bles, Gibson teamed up with Newsome and got revenge against Kim. “She played the girl who played No. 1 all of last year,” Ferebee said. “The score looks like she got beat pretty bad, but to be a sophomore playing against the old No. 1, she actually played real-ly well. She didn’t let (the singles loss) get her down. She showed a lot of mental strength that she’s grown from since last year. Rather than dwelling on the loss, she got redemption and beat (Kim) in doubles and hit a ton of good serves and volleys.”Davie 9, EF 0The home match against lowly East Forsyth went ex-actly like the War Eagles had planned. They rolled to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the CPC with their 45th win in 49 tries across four years. The singles scores were 6-1, 6-0 for Newsome and 6-0, 6-0 for Drum, Gibson, Aderhold, Cao and Chaffin. “They’re inexperienced,” Ferebee said of East. “They have a great group of girls. They have a new coach. I think if she sticks around awhile, she can get them to be competitive. I think they have a good future if they stick together.”Cao/Chaffin won 8-3 at No. 1 doubles, Lena Parsley/Bethany Jacobs won 8-3 at No. 2 and Leszczuk/Victoria McFarlin won 8-0 at No. 3. Parsley, Jacobs and Mc-Farlin all made their season debuts, and Ferebee’s players of the match were the sopho-mores at No. 2 doubles. “Lena is real big in the marching band and Bethany is a lacrosse player, so I wasn’t really sure what they were going to bring this year,” he said. “They’ve impressed at practice and they’ve im-pressed in some exhibition matches. So I threw them in today. I said: ‘Hey, you’re getting your first start of the year, show me what you’ve got.’ They played the three and four seeds from East and just absolutely dominated from beginning to end. I can’t ask for anymore than that.” Middle school football teams open with wins half,” coach Mike Morgan said. “We played good de-fense. During the second half, we were able to get some of our new players and backup players some experience.”Morgan said Ellis has a beast up front in 6-2, 245-pound Brody Newman. “He was an anchor on both sides of the line,” he said. Ellis has won 21 of 23 across four seasons. SD 32, NR 0William Sandoval showed his potential as a seventh-grade quarterback in South Davie’s rout at North Rowan. He hit 9 of 10 passes for 151 yards. “He plays travel ball all year long,” coach Germain Mayfield said. “He’s further along than Chris Reynolds was at that age. Now, what he doesn’t have that Chris had is the football IQ. Teaching him the game is going to be the hard part, but as far as abili-ty, he can make every single throw right now. We’ve got to protect him.”Sandoval connected with seven targets - James Martin, Malachi Miller, Dreighton Lunnerman, Aiden Arnett, Wyatt Tucker, Bentley Caudle and Jared Vaughters - and running backs Connor Leon-ard, Khari McClelland and Tucker and QBs Sandoval and Vaughters combined for 100 rushing yards. McClelland had the de-fensive play of the game, stripping the ball, scooping it and rumbling 47 yards to the end zone. The margin could have been greater if it weren’t for three lost fumbles and the absence of Colsen Dulin, who is one of South’s most skilled linemen as a starter on both sides of the ball. “North Rowan was so much more physical than we were up front,” Mayfield said. “We struggled, but we didn’t have Colsen. He got hurt in the scrimmage. He would have made a huge difference.”The Tigers, who went 5-3 last year, have a four-game winning streak dating to 2023. ND 38, SE 6How utterly dominant was North Davie on the road against Southeast? It was 14-0 before the Wildcats touched the ball on offense. Easton Stanley, an eighth grader who was deeply im-pressive in his first football action since third grade, im-mediately set the tone by returning the opening kickoff to the house. “Easton was probably the player of the game,” coach Beau Byerly said of the re-ceiver/linebacker. “We sent him on some blitzes and he got in the backfield and caused some problems. He had a heck of a game. He had close to 300 all-purpose yards. He went off.”After Stanley scored in the opening seconds, Nathan Smith picked up a fumble and raced 50 yards to make it 14-0. “I think Peyton Jordan made the initial contact - stood him up and poked it loose,” Byerly said. Smith, a running back/defensive end, was another guy who shined on both sides of the ball, with two rushing scores among his three TDs. “He’s a lineman-turned-in-to running back,” Byerly said. “He played excellent at end on defense. He had a lot of big tackles.”Levi Morales’ finger- prints were all over the high-light-filled game. He threw for 200-plus yards, including a scoring hookup with Stan-ley, and ran for around 80. When he wasn’t quarterback-ing, he was doing good stuff at safety. “Levi did a good job hold-ing it down at safety,” Byerly said. “He didn’t let anything get over the top.”The Patriots had a hard time blocking defensive end Mason Sheppard, and Wade Ridenhour and Morales had interceptions. “Mason had some great tackles and big contact,” Byerly said. “He had a great game for three quarters.”This is Byerly’s second year at the helm. North went 4-4 in 2023. DAVIE COUNTYSPORTS PHOTOS by Marnic Lewis • High School Sports • Youth Sports • Rec. League Sports Preserve your athlete’s Sports Memories!

In the season opener at Sa-lem Glen on Aug. 12, Bailey, whose peak as a sophomore was a 12-over 47 at the same course, wasted no time shoot-ing a career best of 9-over 45. It was good for third place overall. Senior Callie Wisecarver and sophomore Gwynyth Swan tied for seventh with 48s. West Forsyth finished first as a team at 130, followed by Davie at 141 and Ragsdale at 163. “We have only had two practices, so this was a great first match for us,” Donley said. One day later, Davie host-ed Reynolds at Oak Valley. Bailey’s opener wasn’t a blind-squirrel deal; she was even better in this one, taking medalist with a 6-over 42 that included four pars and a birdie. “She has played in many tournaments and practiced a lot with her swing coach,” Donley said. “It really shows in these first two matches. I’m really happy for her to see the work pay dividends in her improved scores so far.”Reynolds edged Davie by two strokes, 150-152.
