That favorable nod also went to gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, NC Superintendent of Public Instruction candidate Mi-chele Morrow, NC Secretary of State candidate Chad Brown and NC Attorney General candidate Dan Bishop. All were among the few Republicans to lose in state-wide races.Locally, it was an obvious Re-publican landslide as only one challenger stepped forward.Here are some of the numbers, winners noted with “√”:• Davie County Board of Commissioners: Mark Jones (√), 20,658; Terry Renegar (√), 20,061; Richard B. Poindexter (√), 19,599; and Justin Vocke, 5,604. Vocke ran as a Libertarian candidate.

She received 20,045 votes in Davie, Sibby By Suzanne MannFor the Enterprise Davie County Young Life (DCYL) held its annual fundraising banquet, “Following Jesus Changes the Game,” on Oct. 29 at Rescue House Church in Mocksville. More than 155 guests were welcomed by high school students and enjoyed coffee and desserts. Lynne Kelley, chair of the DCYL Committee, welcomed guests and opened the program with a prayer. Area Director TJ Sigler thanked the 12 business sponsors, many whom have supported the ministry since it started in the county 12 years ago. Sigler then gave an area update pointing out the growth the ministry has experienced over the last three years. When he first arrived in June of 2022, Sigler accompanied six students to Young Life camp at Windy Gap. Since then, he has been meeting kids in the community and recruiting volunteer adult leaders TJ Sigler introduces the Davie County Young Life adult volunteer leaders: Jesus Guzman-Perez, Jeff Jones, Au- drey Lucas, Emily Sigler and Ryan Randell (not pictured).

From weeds to wonder Endowment to maintain Japanese garden By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record BERMUDA RUN - Black and gold go well in a Japanese Gar-den.At least here, they do.And with a kick start from long-time (1964-1992) Wake Forest University Athletic Direc-tor Dr. Gene Hooks, the Japanese Garden at Bermuda Village is not only scheduled for a facelift, it should remain pristine for years to come.Hooks, who came up with the idea for the garden, and John Jones, chair of the current garden committee, are raising money to establish an endowment that could keep the garden going at least for another 40 years. The fund has been established through the Davie Community Founda-tion.It all started after Hooks moved to his current residence at Bermuda Village. He looked out his window, and didn’t like what he saw.“It was a lot of weeds and over-grown trees in the backyard,” he said, “but there was a small pond. I thought it could be dressed up and made into something nice. I got to thinking that it could be a beautiful site for residents to go out and sit, read, enjoy each other and enjoy the outdoors. We didn’t have any place like that here.”A garden, he thought, would also give residents a place to en-joy the outdoors.When Hooks gets an idea, he goes with it.“I had been to Japan several times, and really admired their gardens,” Hooks said. He met with residents, and developers of Bermuda Village. He also made a sizeable initial investment.A landscape architect agreed with Hooks that a Japanese gar-den would fit well in that space Please See Garden - Page 4 Davie voters choose all GOP options Please See Vote - Page 4 2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024Editorial Page USPS 149-160 171 S.

Tell us what you think The DaguerreotypeBy Linda BarnetteIt all began many years ago when my grandmother, Blanche Dwiggins Smith, gave me a daguerreotype of one of her ancestors who was killed in the Civil War. I wish I had asked her more about it, but being young and busy earning a living, I did not have time to pursue it and just let it stay in a dresser drawer. Now that I have retired, I devote much of my time to ge-nealogy and writing, so I have not only discovered who was in the picture, but that information also led me to find out how many others from her family fought in the same war. The family information shared here is my own, but the specifics about the dates and regiments came from the following book: “North Carolina Troops,” published by the North Carolina State Department of Archives and History.As it turned out, the daguerreotype is a photo of her grand-mother’s brother—my grandmother’s great uncle—John Leach. He was born in Davie County in 1831, the son of James Leach and Mary Kurfees of the area known as Cala-haln. John was a farmer, as were most people in that era, and he married Mary Warren in 1856. He enlisted in the Confed-erate Army as a private on Aug. 6, 1861 in Company F, 13th Regiment of North Carolina soldiers. He rose quickly in the ranks, becoming a sergeant, and served until he was wound-ed in the Battle of Chancellorsville, Va. He died at the army hospital in Richmond on Aug. 23, 1863. Apparently, he was buried in Virginia because there is not a cemetery location here in his home county.John’s brother David Leach, born in 1836, also my grand-mother’s great uncle, was a farmer here in Davie County who married Mellina Warren in 1859, enlisted in the Confeder-ate Army at age 25 in 1861. As fate would have it, David was wounded on the same day and in the same battle as his brother John. He, however, even after being wounded again in October of 1864, lived to return home. When he did, he re-sumed farming, and he and Mellina had five children. David died in 1892 and is buried along with most of my Dwiggins relatives in the Center United Methodist Church Cemetery in Mocksville.One other Leach brother also served in the war after enlist-ing as a teenager: James Leach, born in 1844, was listed as a farm laborer on his father’s farm and joined the Confederates. He was killed at Cold Harbor, Va., on June 1, 1864. The place of his burial is not known.I can only imagine the grief and suffering of James’ and John’s parents and their other family members after losing both of those young men in a war in which they likely had no stake. They were not, to my knowledge, slave owners. A daguerreotype of John Leach. A photograph of the Statue of Liberty as captured by Renegade Writer Ellen Bishop. To the editor:Between 2008 and 2020, according to Pew Research Cen-ter, newsrooms across the United States have lost 30,000 em-ployees or about 26% of their total employment. This is a crisis which impacts our lives in many days. During the summer in my teenage years in Mount Airy, I was blessed to witnesss real journalism starting from the reporter riding with the police every night to the paper being delivered four hours after the old press managed to get some ink on the paper.I like this definition of journalism from Politico: “Swagger is the conformity-killing practice of journalism, often done in defiance of authority and custom, to tell a true story in its completeness, no matter whom it might offend. It causes some people to subscribe and others to cancel their subscrip-tions, and gives journalists the necessary courage and direc-tion to do their best work. Swagger was once journalism’s calling card, but in recent decades it’s been sidelined. In some venues, reporters now do their work with all the passion of an accountant, and it shows in their guarded, couched and equivocating copy.”I remember with great fondness the reporting of RJ Berrier who worked as editor of the Mount Airy Times. He spent over 50 years in the news business and his old manual typewriter is in one of Mount Airy’s museums. RJ went after the facts and reported them with great honesty. I will never forget riding in his funeral procession. At every intersection, there was a policeman of some sort standing at attention and saluting as the hearst passed. RJ was a truthteller and people respected him for that. If he saw the town doing something stupid, you were going to get enough facts to help you come to a similar conclusion.Unfortunately, the RJs of today’s world don’t have the reach and the platform that RJ did.When it comes to politics, I just want to hear the truth about what the politician is saying. If what he/she is saying makes no sense, grow a backbone and say, “This makes no sense. “We are going to face a lot of issues in the next few years. They need serious debate, not the stuff I used to shovel out of cattle barns. The journalist’s job is to get to the bottom of the issue not to say here is what they said, good luck.Here are couple of examples, we are likely to see a strong push to Medicare Advantage plans. I do not want to be forced to give up my current Medicare plan because I do not want see the “excessive prior authorizations, denial rates and slow payments from insurers” that many have complained about when they try to switch. Last time I checked these plans cost the government 6% more. Private health insurers are fatten-ing their bottom lines on this. Still, this deserves some agres-sive reporting so the answers are clear.Another big push is no taxes on Social Security. I am al-ways leary of campaign promises, especially if there is good chance it is not a good long term deal. I am on Social Security and I continue to work. Some extra dollars at the end of the year sounds nice but not if it depletes the Social Security Trust Fund and the fund goes bust in a few years. Even when I was working at a high paying job, I could never understand why I didn’t have to pay Social Security taxes above a certain level. Good basic financial planning dictates that you should save more when you are making more. If we took away the cap on Social Security earnings, I suspect the trust fund would be in great shape. However, once again we need serious reporting with clear answers.There are a lot of non-profit news agencies popping up, but long term, I think we need to nurture our small newspa-pers and those orgainizations. It is unlikely to happen under the next adminitration, but wouldn’t it be great for journalism if local newspapers could apply for grants to pay for report-ers? I live in the world of grants and that makes more sense to me than some of the grants that I am seeing.Davie Sobotta, Mocksville Journalists becoming an endangered species The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild My grandmother’s grandfather, James Patterson Dwig-gins, also fought in the Civil War. Born in Davie County in 1840, James was the son of Ashley Dwiggins and Mary Hol-man Dwiggins. He married Sarah Penry Leach in 1860, and their first child, John, was born in 1861. James joined the army at age 22, enlisting in Company H of the North Carolina 5th Cavalry Regiment on July 15, 1862. He made it through the war unscathed, returned home, farmed, and he and Sarah became the parents of four more children, one of whom was my great-grandfather, William Joel Franklin Dwiggins, who lived across the street from us and died in 1952 when I was 11 years old. What a treasure it was to know him.Daniel Holman Dwiggins, James’s brother, also went to battle, survived, came home, farmed, and with his wife had 7 children. I don’t know the details but have read enough to surmise that he was never stable after the war.Another relative by marriage who served in the war was Joel Penry, who married my 3rd great-grandfather’s sister, Ursula Dwiggins, daughter of my first Dwiggins ancestor in Davie County, Daniel Dwiggins. Joel was born in 1821 and joined the army in 1863 at the age of 42. On Sept. 18, 1863, Joel, like James Patterson Dwiggins, enlisted in Company H, North Carolina 5th Cavalry Regiment. He was paroled in Salisbury in 1865, then came back home and resumed farm-ing. Joel died in 1872 and is buried in the old Dwiggins Fam-ily Cemetery on Boone Farm Road.There were many other relatives of my grandmother who went off to war. Most of those who I have mentioned were simple farmers who had nothing to really gain by fighting other than the pride of knowing they were willing to risk it all for a cause. The war affected almost every family in the area. I am so glad that I decided to do this research as I did it to honor those soldiers in my family during that time. I shall always remember John Leach’s face in the daguerreotype, so young and innocent and doomed.Author’s Note: For some time I have been writing for the N. C. History Center of the Civil War, Emancipation, and Reconstruction in Fayetteville, which will be completed in 2027. They have a site on Facebook and have invited people to write Civil war stories. The one I am sharing this week is one of mine that has been chosen to be part of their perpetual exhibit wall of stories that people have written. I am pleased that mine was chosen. Lady LibertyBy E. BishopAnother short ferry ride, after Ellis Island, to see an iconic national treasure, one of the most recognizable figures in the world, a universal symbol of freedom, inspiration and hope with 4.5 million visitors traveling from all over to see her - The Statue of Liberty. What a beautiful powerful sight standing in the Upper New York Bay (off the coast of New York City), holding a raised torch symbolic of so much. It gives you a sense of wonder and disbelief seeing it for the first time. This gift from France is a symbol of democracy; understanding its history adds layers to the amazing experi-ence. Although we did not have the required reservations to as-cend to the top of the statue, I don’t think we would have made it anyway. So, the museum was our source of informa-tion of how such a feat of this magnitude was accomplished. Every step/setback, was explained from beginning to end; what a monumental task it must have been. A little bit of history of why this statue exists is explained through the Statue of Liberty Tours information. In the 1800s, one of the most significant female icons in American culture was the Roman goddess Libertas, a female figure clad in robes. In ancient Rome, she was worshipped as the goddess of freedom. Conceived in 1865, the idea took hold when the French historian and abolitionist, E’douard de Laboulaye proposed a gift of a monument from the people of France to commemorate the upcoming centennial of U.S. indepen-dence (1876), the perseverance of American democracy and the liberation of the nation’s slaves. This gift from the French people was to recognize the alliance of France and the US during the American Revolution.Sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi joined Laboulaye’s cause and began to work on a design. Fundraising and bring-ing people together to finance such an endeavor began. France would be responsible for creating the Statue and assembling it in the United States while the American people would fund and build the pedestal. Construction was completed in France in July 1884. Back in America, 1884, architect Richard Mor-ris Hunt was selected to design/build the granite pedestal. The pedestal was completed in April 1886 and finally, on October 28, 1886, President Grover Cleveland oversaw the dedication Here are some interesting facts about Davie County, com-piled in 2023 by the N.C. Association of County Commis-sioners.• The population was 44,223; 3,069 (7%) more residents than in 2013.• The median age is 45, with 18% under age 18 and 23% over age 65.• Seven percent of the population were veterans.• The average teacher salary supplement was $4,319, com-pared to a statewide average of $6,053.• Some .2% of students were enrolled in a charter school, compared to the statewide average of 7.8%.• A total of 23% of residents were covered by Medicaid, 13% were uninsured, while 199 residents were in opiod use treatment programs (uninsured and Medicaid only).• Twenty residents died from a reported overdose in 2021.• The average weekly wage for a Davie worker was $926, compared to the state average of $1,215.• A total of 14% of children in Davie lived in poverty.• Forty-six percent of workers had jobs in Davie.• The county property tax rate was .77, compared to the state average of .62.What those numbers tell me, while our population is grow-ing, it’s not as fast as most of us think. That could change - and may be changing - but the numbers show our growth rate to be manageable. Lately, I’ve heared people say “we’re growing too fast.” I agreed. I still agree. But the numbers say otherwise. (I never was good with numbers.). What I can agree with is that our population is aging, my-self included. I think that trend will continue, not just because we’re all getting older, but some of our newcomers moving here will be of an advanced age. Our age average is already higher than the state average, and I think that will continue.Another takeaway is that Davie County is changing more than it is growing.- Mike Barnhardt Some official facts about Davie Please See Renegade ‑ Page 7 DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024 - 3 ADVANCE FAMILY DENTAL DR.

They can be ex-pensive, and need regular maintenance. He’s trying to raise enough money to es-tablish the endowment, with profits going to the garden’s upkeep. Hooks was an initial investor, and his drive helps to keep Jones committed to the project.“Gene has done a lot, not just for Wake Forest, but for the residents here,” he said to a gathering of residents explaining the project. “He’s just a wonderful mentor and we’re honored to have peo-ple like him living here.”Speakers at the project included brothers Larry and Bob McCreary, Bermuda Village employees, Davie Extension horticultural agent Susan Hawkins, foundation president Jane Simpson, and Carol Quinn.Hooks graduated from Wake Forest when it was located in the town of the same name, and returned as a teacher and coach after stints playing professional baseball and teaching at NC State. He also coached baseball at Wake Forest, and can still be seen at many of the games. The stadium bears his name.“The garden has turned out far more beautiful than I thought it would,” Hooks said. “But I don’t want it just good, I want it pristine.”Donations can be made through the Davie Commu-nity Foundation. The garden includes several sculptures of herons. A live one also visits from time to time.Fountains and sculptures add to the ambiance. • For lieutenant gover-nor, the close race statewide favored Republican Hal Weatherman in Davie, with 18,218 votes, with Democrat Rachel Hunt getting 7,324.• Davie stuck with the Re-publican candidate for attor-ney general, giving 18,383 votes to Dan Bishop and 8,023 votes to Jeff Jackson, the Democrat winner.• For NC Auditor, Davie gave 18,818 votes to Repub-lican Dave Boliek, and 6,703 to Democrat Jessica Holmes.• For NC Secretary of State, Davie cast 18,654 bal-lots for Chad Brown, with Democrat Elaine Marshall winning the race statewide, getting 7,697 votes in Davie.• Republican Michele Morrow received 18,145 votes in Davie, compaired to 8,080 for the winner, Demo-crat Maurice “Mo” Green.

With a plant in Mocks-ville, PRO Refrigeration designs and manufactures packaged chillder systems for food and dairy process-ing, fermented raft beverag-es, and machine and process cooling and extraction.With a reduced foot-print, modular design, sim-plified maintenance and future-ready circuitry, the PRO4 Series offers stream-lined cooling solutions de-signed to improve productiv-ity and boost profits.The PPRO4 Series im-proves on existing packaged chiller models through the addition of several features:• five mix-and-match compressor options across four independent circuits, allowing for custom cool-ing solutions with different configurations and refriger-ant options to suit individual customer needs;• a simplified control design engineered to make maintenance fast and effi-cient without service inter-ruption;• a redesigned glycol tank and standard components that reduce the unit’s foot-print by 25%, offering easier access, faster production and lower shipping costs; and• circuits that are fully upgradeable, allowing cus-tomers to adapt to evolving refrigerant standards and regulations, and each of the new technologies. The series comes with real-time remote perfor-mance monitoring for two years, as well supplemental components, direct access to replacement parts, and af-termarket phone, online and field support. As with all PRO Chiller products, PRO4 Series cus-tomers have the ability to add on to their purchase the company’s module that re-covers waste heat from the cooling apparatus, producing hot water for facilities and/or support heating processes.“Dairy farmers face sig-nificant risks and financial impacts from unreliable The PRO Refrigeration team at the World Dairy Expo Oct. 1-4 in Madison, Wisc.Company unveils new product at dairy expo cooling systems, which rou-tinely cause quality issues, lost revenue and unnecessar-ily high operational costs,” said Jim VanderGiessen, CEO of PRO Refrigeration. “We are proud to alleviate such concerns through a modular, redundant system designed for continuous, efficient use in the toughest conditions.“Backed by the best cus-tomer support team in the industry, the PRO4 Series delivers peace of mind with a strong return on investment, helping customers achieve and maintain productivity and profitability,” he said.VanderGiessen said the company is doing all it can to help breweries and other customers in the North Caro-lina mountains recover from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

Owned by the Federal Government and maintained by the National Park Service. At the feet are broken shackles to re-mind us of the end of slavery in America. The right hand holds a torch - this represents the light that shows the path to freedom (a symbol of enlightenment). In her left hand, she holds a tablet bearing “July IV MDCCLXXVI,” the Decla-ration of Independence’s adoption date in Roman numerals.The Crown features seven rays or spikes. Each one rep-resents one of the seven continents of the world - a universal message of freedom extending to all people.Under this 225 ton Lady lays a hidden box. Inside - a pic-ture of Bartholdi, 20 bronze medals and a copy of the U.S. Constitution. Nothing says freedom more than the U.S. Con-stitution.And, as Franklin D. Roosevelt stated in 1936, on the 50th anniversary, of the Statue of Liberty — “Liberty and peace are living things.

Mis-sion United is designed to create a network of care that addresses unique needs of each veteran. The programs will be available to all veri-fied veterans and their fam-ilies and has no restrictions based on income, age, or other factors.“It is a daunting task for veterans to access the re-sources that they need and deserve because the resourc-es exist in pockets here and there,” United Way President and CEO Monk Richburg said. “Under the new initia-tive, veterans will be able to have a single access point to help them with a variety of needs, including the needs of homeless veterans. We want to make it as easy and seam-less as possible.”United Way is seeking members to be part of an advisory council to guide the work.

They also got some tips on how to create a news article.Their assignment was ti-tled “Events that occurred on my birthday,” and each had to research to find four things that occurred on their birth-day: a major news event, weather, sporting event scores, and a famous person born on that day. Continued From Page 1to form personal relation-ships with students at Davie County High School. As a result, DCYL has grown exponentially. An av-erage of 90 students attend club, described as a “party with a purpose” that ends with a message about God, and campaigners, a time to dive deeper into the Bible. These meetings are held on alternating Monday eve-nings at Heritage K Farm in Mocksville. This past June, DCYL took 56 students to summer camp at Sharp Top Cove in Georgia, and students flocked to the last club meet-ing with the opening of win-ter weekend camp sign ups. Sigler shared ways that camp experiences allow leaders to dive deeper with students in exploring their faith. He then introduced the five adult leaders - Jesus Guzman-Perez, Jeff Jones, Aubrey Lucas, Ryan Ran-dell and Emily Sigler - with a spin on the game Guess Who? After leader introduc-tion,s two seniors at the high school, Chris Alexis and Av-ery Carter, shared their expe-riences in DCYL. Carter told how she first met Sigler and his wife Em-ily at a Sheetz because there was not a dedicated space for Young Life to meet. She also told of going to club meetings outside on the farm before the building was com-pleted as well as attending campaigners with only a handful of students. Her excitement for DCYL, its growth and its importance in building her faith were evident through her testimony. Chris Alexis then shared his experience as a work crew member at Carolina Point. Volunteering working on the landscape crew for three weeks this past sum-mer, Alexis shared how his experience led to a much deeper personal walk with Christ through the example of the adults he was serv-ing alongside. These adults modeled what service looked like for him and displayed the power of prayer as they prayed for the lives of each camper. Alexis and Carter are serving as student leaders South Davie Middle School sixth graders Jeremiah Perez, Maicon Aboytes, and William “AJ” Montgomery read copies of the Davie County Enterprise Record to get ideas for their porject.Students research newspapers to create newsletter MIranda Lopez-Diaz and Braylen Simms present their newsletters to fellow classmates. Young Life ... Davie High seniors Chris Alexis and Avery Carter share their Young Life experiences. modeling their relationship with Christ to other students.After the high school-er’s testimonies, Sigler in-troduced the main program speaker, Justin Hepler. He-pler was the first area direc-tor of DCYL joining the min-istry in 2012 and building it from the ground up. He shared how Young Life in Weaverville influ-enced his faith. Using the comparison of the scripture story of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well, Hepler told stories of the way his Young Life leader continued to show up in his life in places where he did not expect to see him. Young Life calls this con-tact work. After forming a personal relationship with him, Hepler’s leader mod-eled what it looked like to have a personal relationship with Christ. “Even though my parents worked for a church and I grew up attending church, I was a kid that needed to know what a relationship with Christ looked like.” Hepler told how his friendship with his YL lead-er so strongly influenced his life that he became active as a high school leader while attending N.C. State Univer-sity, began serving as a staff member of Young Life and becoming the area director of DCYL for six years and then as a director of NCSU College Life, Young Life’s version for college students. Over the years Hepler has seen students he mentored at Davie High School attend NCSU and serve under him as high school leaders in the Raleigh area that have joined the Young Life staff across the state. He referred to this as the “ripple effect” of Young Life. As he asked the guests to consider supporting DCYL financially or through vol-unteer positions, Hepler told those present that supporting the ministry will have in-fluences on the Davie high school kids today but also on the lives of other kids throughout NC and possibly the world through this ripple effect. Three former Davie High students are serving on Young Life staff and two on church staffs around the state while numerous others con-tinue to model their faith by serving in their communities and churches.Hepler asked the guests to consider financially sup-porting the DCYL goal of $125,000. efore the banquet, DCYL committee members had already made pledges totaling $46,300. “When Christians rub shoulders with other believ-ers, wonderful things hap-pen,” he said. The banquet raised more than $115,000, emphasizing the night’s theme, “Following Jesus Changes the Game.”DCYL is grateful for the volunteers that serve as lead-ers, committee members, ta-ble hosts, prayer partners and by preparing a meal for lead- ers before each club meeting. The ministry is alsograteful for the financial support of and relationships with NC Moulding, the Kelley Foun-dation, Advance Country Store, Fuller Welding, Mill-er Building, Bartelt Family Medicine, Carolina Center for Eye Care, Diamondback Industries, J. Gregory Mat-thews/Attorney at Law, Se-niors Wonderful World of Golf, Shore Fencing and The Virtual Instructor as well as a donation from Rescue House Church and the use of their facilities and help of their staff.

Justin Hepler, the first Area Director of DCYL, was the program’s key- note speaker. The DCYL area director gives an update on the growth of Young Life in Davie County over the last two years. DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie wrestling team is com-ing off the best season in program history, which is saying something when you look at Davie’s extraordi-nary history. The War Eagles of Josh Stanley hope the encore is just as good. Last year the War Eagles woke up the echoes of 1994, 1995 and 2006, winning their first state duals championship in 18 years and their first state individual tournament title in 29 years. When Davie outlasted Davie wrestling ready for an encore The Davie cross country team wrapped up a historic season at the state championship meet at Kerners-ville’s Ivey Redmon Park on Nov. 2. Thomas Essic cemented his legacy as perhaps the top cross country runner in War Eagle history with a ninth-place finish and first team all-state recognition by virtue of his top-10 finish.Essic cruised through the first mile among a large pack of the state’s elite runners with a split time of 4:52. Halfway through the 5k race, Essic was still among the leaders and passed the two-mile mark at 10:00. With a mile to go in the 3.1-mile race, a group of three runners surged to the front and the race was on at that point. Essic fell to the rear of the lead pack and found himself in 12th with a little over a kilometer to go before regrouping By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Ellis boys basketball team isn’t just 5-0; the Jaguars are steam-rolling people. After leading by seven at half-time against visiting North Rowan on Nov. 4, the Jaguars erupted for 22 third-quarter points and cruised to a 60-45 win. “In the second half, we picked up the defense and started playing like we were supposed to,” coach Roger Blalock said. Mason Driver (18 points) and Cam James (10) had season highs to lead the Jags, who got six points from Bowman Blakley, Henry Mi-gliarese and Peyton Fishel. “(Driver) got a bunch of steals,” Blalock said. “They kept trying to press us and Mason pretty much dominated. They could not guard him. He’s a good football player, basketball player and baseball player. He’s an all-around good player and he listens pretty good like his brother (Davie junior Ethan Driver).”Ellis 49, S. Davie 33At home against South Davie on Nov. 7, Ellis kept the momentum rolling. The Jaguars were fantastic in the first half - their halftime lead was 30-9 - as they snapped a four-game losing streak to the Tigers. All five of Ellis’ wins have been by 14-plus points. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Going into the South Davie-at-El-lis girls basketball game on Nov. 7, the Tigers were spiraling and the vibes could not have been better on the Ellis side. It was 20-20 at the end of the third quarter, but South took control at crunch time and picked up a gi-gantic 28-22 win to halt a five-game losing streak in the series. South (2-4) also stopped a four-game slide Essic runs to all-state honors and surging over the last half-mile. The Davie senior sprinted down the home stretch and crossed the line in a time of 15:42 to secure all-state honors. Asheville’s Michel Haskin was the individual champion with a time of 15:21. Riverside teammates Phil-ip Blum (15:23) and Connor Tyrell (15:31) took the next two spots. The CPC again showed why it is among the strongest conferences in the state as Reynolds’ Cedar Nich-ols-Barnhart (15:33) and Reagan’s Tate Shore (15:33) nailed down the fifth and sixth spots. Essic’s ninth-place showing gave the CPC three of the 10 all-state spots, the only conference in the state to accomplish that feat. Marvin Ridge parlayed its se-nior-driven lineup to successfully defend its team title with 68 points to easily outdistance runner-up Broughton (96). Hoggard placed third with 159. CPC rivals Reagan (12th), Mt. Tabor (13th) and Reyn-olds (17th) all turned in top-20 finishes.Davie was not represented in the girls’ race, which was won by Cardinal Gibbons (62), followed by Cuthbertson (136) and Marvin Ridge (153). Asheville made it a clean sweep of the individual titles as Sofi Alexander (18:01) raced to a one-second victory over Ragsdale’s Elle Dawson. Hoggard’s Amelia Medlin was third (18:09).“It was a great day for our pro-gram,” said coach Rob Raisbeck. “Our goal was for Thomas to place in the top 10 and be named all-state. He ran a tremendous race and pulled South girls knock off Ellis in basketball between Oct. 24-Nov. 4 and ended Ellis’ winning streak at three. “It was a great win, but Ellis (3-2) is good and who knows what will happen next time,” South coach Julie Snow said. “I’m just proud that our girls are showing growth from all our work on fundamentals.”South held an 11-8 lead at half-time. Ellis fought back to 20-20 by scoring 12 in the third. “We looked good in the first half - like we strung 14 minutes of good basketball together,” Snow said. “Ellis came out and hit a few quick baskets to start the third. We went to a box-and-one to stop Zoe Summers from feeding the ball so well. Sakariah (Allison) and Zariah (Allison) did a great job slowing her down and our defense really picked up. Our defense at the end of the third and the fourth gave us what we needed to survive.”Emma Grace Snow, S. Allison and Akiela Young provided the of-fense as South smothered Ellis 8-2 in the fourth. In the decisive fourth, Young’s basket tied it at 22. When S. Allison scored with three minutes left for a 24-22 lead, Snow said “we could feel it.” Snow’s 3-pointer for a 27-22 cushion was “the final nail in the coffin. Ellis has girls that can shoot the ball and I was nervous until that point.”Young (10 points) hit double figures for the third time, and Allie Cothren added six. For Ellis, Sydney Ward (10) registered double figures for the third time and Summers had six. “As always, Allie did the dirty work for us, causing several jump balls and going after any loose ball on the court,” Snow said. “This time, though, all girls helped with this. We boxed out, played D and hustled.”Ellis 27, N. Rowan 24Three days before the South game, Ellis squeaked out a home win over North Rowan. Summers (seven points), S. Ward (six) and Kinsley Lumberton 100-96 in the state tour-nament, it had an unprecedented two state titles in the same year. It finished 23-1 in Stanley’s first year as coach at his alma mater. Can the War Eagles re-create that same magic in 2024-25? Yes, they have everything to make another strong state-title run. Remember: When Davie defeated unbeaten Laney in the state dual final, the starting lineup included seven fresh-men/sophomores. “We definitely have the potential (to be as good or better than last year),” Stanley said. Davie graduated Hunter Testa, who went 44-0 and won the state at 175, but five state qualifiers are back: Cayden Glass, Tiaj Thao, Aidan Szewczyk, Andy Davis and Elliott Gould. When Stanley looks at the young guys in the room, he’s convinced the future is gorgeous. And Davie will carry a 14-match winning streak into the season opener. “The exciting part is the depth in the young guys,” he said. “We have 60 kids on the roster right now. We have a mob of freshmen and soph-omores.” There is some bad news: Davis is out with an elbow injury and may not hit the mat until January. That is a big blow. As a sophomore, Davis finished 41-6 at 138 and went 4-2 in the state tournament. “Andy’s a big piece of what we’re going to do,” Stanley said. “He’s a leader. It hurts having him out, but he’s still in the room every day and almost acts as a coach. He has two and a half more weeks in his brace, and he starts physical therapy after that. I’m hoping to get him back mid-December, but we’re definitely not going to push anything with him. So if we’ve got to wait til the first of (January), we will. But I’m thinking we will get him back mid-December.”Freshmen Dominic Ishuin and Graylan Anderson are competing for the starting job at 106. “It’s up in the air,” Stanley said. “Dominic is light and that works against him. Graylan is tough, but he is light, too. They are both chippy, they are both ready for it, but they are little guys and they have to pay their dues.” Please See Wrestling - Page B3 Ellis boys still perfect “We played a great game,” Blalock said. “We had 22 turnovers, but our defense was great.”Blakley (14) matched his season high, and James (11) turned in a season high for the second game in a row. Driver was next with eight points. “Bowman is a really good ath-lete,” Blalock said. “He had steals, blocks and rebounds. He played a complete game.”The Tigers, who dropped to 3-3 with their third loss in four games, were paced by Colson Dulin (eight), Jared Vaughters (seven) and Ty Cozart (five). Ellis flipped the script after losing to South 64-36 and 54-26 in 2023. •••Earlier in the season, South lost at home to North Rowan, won at home over Southeast and lost at Erwin. In a 51-40 loss to North Rowan, the Tigers trailed by 14 at halftime and by 21 at the end of the third. Vaughters led the way with 13 points. Dreighton Lunnerman was next with eight. Two days later, South used a strong fourth quarter to knock off Southeast 54-46. Dulin won it al-most single-handedly, scoring all 14 of his points during a 23-14 run in the fourth quarter. His heroics erased Southeast’s 32-31 lead at the end of the third.

The starter at 120 will likely be sophomore Leighton Reavis (6-2 at 113), but freshman Garrett Whita-ker “is pushing (Reavis),” Stanley said. Szewczyk, who went 29-6 and placed fifth in the state at 113 as a freshman, and Glass, who went 39-3 and finished second in the state at 120, are locked in at 126 and 132, respectively. “Aidan is going to be re-ally, really tough this year,” Stanley said. Thao, who went 41-5 and took the state bronze at 126 as a sophomore, is the man at 138. Glass and Thao have sterling resumes, boasting 102-31 and 77-19 career re-cords, respectively. “T (Thao) is kind of taking one for the team,” Stanley said. “He could be a 126 or 132, so we are stretching him up to 138. He can compete there, he is durable and I think he can handle the load. We had three guys (Szewczyk, Glass and Thao) at one weight and all three were state plac-ers. They all could be 126.”When Davis gets healthy, he’ll check in at 144. Until then, Stanley is looking at sophomore Hank Blanken-ship and freshman Carter Hoots. “Hank is really tough,” he said. “Carter is a freshman that we are really excited about. I’m pretty sure he will be at 144 until Andy gets back.” Wrestling ... Gould, who went 30-11 at 152/157, will be a stalwart at 152. “Elliott is coming off the football field, but he’s been on the mat the whole time,” Stanley said. “He’s a captain because he does both (football and wrestling) and he’s com-mitted to both. He is looking like a tank. He’s just a freak. He’s at a point where he could place in the state.”Davie has two freshmen battling at 157 - Isaac O’Toole and Jaden Dillard. “Jaden is really good, re-ally tough,” he said. “I don’t know if he’ll break in this year, but I know he is going to be a big part of what we do.”Junior Jamarius Pelote (18-12 at 150/157) will land at 157 or 165, but there’s a question mark at 175. “We joke that Testa retired the weight class when he left,” Stanley said. “He kind of ran everybody out of that spot.”Stanley has few con-cerns at 190, where Maddox Creason (23-9 at 165/175) is knocking people around. “Maddox is a tank right now,” he said. “He’s really strong with a lot of confi-dence. He stays close to wres-tling year-round. He’s going to have an impact.”Davie will be young at 215. Walker Matthews saw three varsity matches at 215/285 as a freshman. “It’s looking like Walker,” he said. “He is light for the 215; he could be at 190. But he’s an exciting kid and he has paid his dues.”Davie is in terrific shape at heavyweight.

Ten Jaguars - Greyson Daughtry (90), Austin Eggers (98), Ayden Davis (106), Connor Cornatzer (113), Mason Barnes (120), Jason Moxley (132), Jaleel Collins (144), Connor McNeil (150), Elmer Salas (157), Vincent Clements (165) - feasted on campaign. He is backed up by junior Ajius Patterson. “Ryder’s only had a few days in the room, but he hasn’t missed a beat,” Stanley said. “It’s just about getting his lungs back.“Ajius weighs about 260. He’s a tough kid. He’s not ready for Ryder yet, but he’s a good partner for Ryder. I think he will make Ryder level up.” Wednesday, Nov. 13Davie wrestling at North IredellThursday, Nov. 14South Davie basketball at home vs. Selma Burke at 4:30South Davie wrestling at Selma Burke at 4:30North Davie basketball at Ellis at 4:30Ellis varsity basketball at home vs. North Davie at 4:30Saturday, Nov. 16Davie wrestling hosting the Buddy Lowery DualsMonday, Nov. 18South Davie wrestling vs. North Rowan/China Grove at N.

Rowan/Union Pines at W. Rowan • Upcoming Games • Ellis wrestling wins; North, South fall the Mavericks with pins, and heavyweight Henry Butler dominated with a technical fall. North gave Ellis forfeits at 76, 83, 126 and 176. •••Jamey Holt entered his 12th year at North Davie with a stellar 111-22 record, but he’s undermanned in 2024. In a 74-30 season-opening loss at China Grove on Nov. 4, the Wildcats handed over five forfeits, and the Red Devils hardly needed any help. Recording pins for North were Hailey Thao (76), Au-brey Ishuin (83), Brennen Mason (90), Sawyer Hall (144) and Peyton Jordan (175). Three days later, four for-feits played a key role in North’s 66-41 loss at Moores-ville. “We wrestled better but five forfeits is making our margin for error razor thin,” Holt said. North got pins from Thao (76), Ishuin (83), Chris Gon-zalez (98), Hall (138), Jordan (175) and Mason Sheppard (215). Brennen Mason had a tech fall at 90. •••South Davie opened the season with two wins, but the Tigers ran into a different animal - Erwin - on Nov. 4. Erwin and China Grove are both behemoths. “They are really good - really good,” coach Russell Hilton said after a 90-15 home loss to Erwin. “Erwin and China Grove (which beat Erwin by one) are really good. You can tell those boys have wrestled in the offseason for a while. They were big, strong and physical. It’s been a while since I’ve been beat like that.”South’s winners were Harris Wagstaff (pin at 138) and Rico Evans (decision at 98). Erwin forfeited at 158. Wagstaff and Evans are both seventh graders. “(Wagstaff’s) a great kid who works hard,” Hilton said. “He does everything we ask him to do. We picked him to be our captain. All his hard work is starting to pay off.“(At 98), it was a close match until the third period. That kid put (Evans) in a couple of bad spots, but Rico was ahead of him the whole time. He went 18-1 last year. He’s a really good athlete.” SHOP LOCAL Support Davie businesses this holiday season B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024 Davie Football Statistics Record: 3-7, 2-5 CPC Rushing Att Yards Avg.

Cozart contributed eight. “(Dulin) got to the rim and started making it happen,” coach Germain Mayfield said. •••South and Erwin battled on even terms for three quar-ters, but the Eagles pulled away in the fourth and defeat-ed South 56-43. After facing a 26-16 half-time deficit, South got a huge boost from Lunnerman, who accounted for nine of South’s 14 points in the third, when South rallied to tie the game at 30. Lunnerman, who came in averaging 6.6 points, ex-ploded for 22, but it wasn’t enough as Erwin poured in 26 fourth-quarter points. North 44, CG 34Nolan Allen displayed do-it-all skills, and North Davie clamped down in the fourth quarter to beat visiting China Grove on Nov. 4. North held a skinny 31-30 lead going into the fourth. But in the final seven minutes, Allen, Glen Greene, Wade Ridenhour and Levi Morales supplied scoring and North held the Red Devils to four points in the final period. Allen finished with 18 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Morales had six points and nine rebounds. Greene had six points and Ellis ... five rebounds. Tannyr Car-rier and Ridenhour had five points each, while Jeremiah had four. “ Nolan filled the stat sheet again, but I can’t say enough about how hard our big men played under the basket,” coach Caleb Davis said. “Glen and Levi battled all night and brought in 14 rebounds as a unit down low. Their contributions don’t always show up in the score-book, but they are invaluable to the team.”Moor 55, North 39Allen put up 11 points in the first quarter as North raced to a 17-5 lead at home on Nov. 7. Mooresville, though, didn’t flinch. It stormed to a 24-22 halftime lead. The Wildcats only trailed by two at the end of the third, but they weren’t able to stay with Mooresville in the fourth. The Red Imps’ 22-point fourth spoiled Allen’s 28-point performance. He is averaging 23.8 on the year. “We played some of our best basketball of the sea-son in the first quarter, but Mooresville’s size and ath-leticism caught up to us when we started to get fatigued,” Davis said.

It was also the best performance by a Davie cross country runner over the last 30 years and possibly the best ever. I know we had some great runners in the 1970s before the current state meet set-up. The last Davie runner to have this kind of success would have been Garick Hill, who finished 11th at states in 1997.“Looking back on the sea-son, we did some really good things. Our team average time of 16:48 is probably the best in Davie history. We will certainly miss Thomas as he graduates, but we will return our 2-6 runners. We have a chance to be pretty good again next year. With realignment and the move to eight classi-fications instead of the current four, that should increase our chances of getting into the state meet as a full team.“Moving forward, we will have some of our team race the Dash For Doobie 3200 meter track race at Reagan. And we will have a few race at the Foot Locker South Regional at McAlpine Park after Thanksgiving. That is one of four regional meets na-tionwide which make up the mythical national high school cross country championship for individuals. Beyond that, we will be transitioning to indoor track and we look forward to welcoming back our sprinters and field event athletes. Finally, I want to thank Leah Reynolds and Jeff Jones for the tireless work coaching our team and also our parents who continue to support us in too many ways to count. I look forward to the next challenge ahead for our team.” Cam James and Mason Driver guard Anderson Branham. Peyton Fishel shoots with Branham playing D.
