Please See Ellis - Page 12 By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record Public schools in Davie Coun-ty will soon have an added layer of safety. Students and visitors will have to walk through a weap-ons detection system to enter the buildings.The board of education unan-imously approved the purchase of 18 such devices at a cost of $349,158. The cost is expected to be reimbursed by a state grant, said Clay Harris, schools finance director.Just the discussion of the need for such devices bothered staff and board members.“I think it is absolutely dis- Detectors being added to Davie schools gusting that we’ve gotten our-selves into this situation to where we feel like we have to have another layer of security,” said board member, Paul Drechsler.“It bothers me that we’re at this point,” said superintendent, Jeff Wallace. “It hurts my heart to think that we have to think about that level of protection in our schools, but we do.”The devices are portable, so more can be sent to special events that draw crowds. Evan Hanner, a representative with OPENGATE weapons detection system, said the devices should be able to check 1,500 people per hour.“The decision to use metal de-tectors must not be made out of fear, but of an unwavering com-mitment that our schools remain safe,” said Davie High Principal Michael Pruitt.The detectors will have a sym-bolic impact, he said.“It is essential that we, as a community, take this opportu-nity to remind our students and their families that the presence of weapons detection systems is not an indication that we view them as threats. On the contrary, it is a sign that we are doing everything in our power to protect them.”Pruitt said that staff members building trusting relationships with students is still more import-ant.“No one wanted it to come to this point,” Pruitt said. “In the past few years, we’ve all heard about the increasing need for pro-active security measures for our schools. I have seen a dramatic shift in attitudes among my own staff, students and parents.“While our schools are gen-erally safe, we cannot ignore the growing incidents of violence in schools across the country. We must recognize that we live in a time when there are real con-cerns, and it is our duty to take steps to address those concerns before they become tragedies.”OPENGATE is a state-of-the-art, walk-through detection system that is in use in stadiums, arenas, theme parks, hospitals, and other school districts across North Carolina and the country. “We are thankful to the school board’s support to add this addi-tional layer of security in our dis-trict, and for our partnership with the Davie County Sheriff’s Office in helping us select the best state-of-the-art weapons detection sys-tem for our schools, reinforcing our commitment to safety for ev-eryone on our school campuses,” said Wallace. “OPENGATE is just one piece of our safety plan, which has the ability to detect and prevent threats before they arise. We want to reassure families that we are taking every step possible Please See Detectors - Page 12 2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 28, 2024Editorial Page USPS 149-160 171 S.

BishopThe moral teachings of Thanksgiving hopefully given out by many parents and grandparents down through the ages have been of gratitude and appreciation. These fundamental lessons emphasize the importance of acknowledging and be-ing thankful for the blessings in life - food on the table, a roof over our head to the love and support of family. It is a time to give thanks for all our blessings in life and to reconnect with what matters most.This message was brought home to many of us in atten-dance at the celebration of life service for Kevin Dodd held Saturday, Nov. 16, 2024 at Victory Baptist Church in Cool-eemee. As his obituary states, he was a U.S. Army veteran, firefighter, EMT, rescue technician, pastor, loving father and husband. He served the Manhattan Fire Department of Man-hattan, Kansas, the City of Salisbury Fire Department, the NC Air National Guard Fire Department, Rowan County EMS, Rowan County Rescue Squad as well as serving his church and community where he was a blessing to so many. The celebration was a great tribute where several spoke recognizing Kevin’s attributes and many accomplishments, how he was always uplifting, never complaining, and leading a life of continual service to others. The last speaker, his son Jack, left us with what he felt his father would want us to all carry forward - the simple word “LOVE.” Leviticus 19:18 “thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” May the wonderful memories made be a blessing and comfort as the family and friends of Kevin go forward in life without him.I’m grateful to have known Kevin and his family and all that he stood for. Cooleemee has lost a good one. Let us join together in giving special thanks during this season of thanks-giving to all those, like Kevin, who give so much to keep us safe, put out those fires, fight for our country - the veterans, firefighters, EMTs, police, etc. I’m raising my large cup of coffee (Folger’s, of course) to you, Kevin. Godspeed. Early Churches in Davie CountyHeidelberg Evangelical Lutheran ChurchBy Linda H. BarnetteSeveral German Protestants who came to America prob-ably to escape religious persecution settled on Dutchman Creek in southeastern Davie County in the mid-1700s. They established a church called Heidelberg Evangelical Lutheran Church, known locally as the Old Dutch Meeting House It was located on what is now known as Bixby-Cornatzer Road. George WashingtonWhereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grate-ful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor - and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the Peo-ple of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be - That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks - for his kind care and protection of the People of this Coun-try previous to their becoming a Nation - for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war - for the great degree of tran-quility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed - for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted - for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of ac-quiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.And also that we may then unite in most humbly of-fering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions - to enable us all, whether in pub-lic or private stations, to perform our several and relative Presidential Thanksgiving proclamations from our nation’s past duties properly and punctually - to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly be-ing a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed - to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord- - To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us - and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosper-ity as he alone knows to be best.Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.Washington issued the proclamation on Oct. 3, 1789 John F. KennedyOver three centuries ago in Plymouth, on Massachu-setts Bay, the Pilgrims established the custom of gathering together each year to express their gratitude to God for the preservation of their community and for the harvests their labors brought forth in the new land. Joining with their neighbors, they shared together and worshipped together in a common giving of thanks.Thanksgiving Day has ever since been part of the fabric which has united Americans with their past, with each and with the future of all mankind.It is fitting that we observe this year our own day of thanksgiving. It is fitting that we give our thanks for the safety of our land, for the fertility of our harvests, for the strength of our liberties, for the health of our people. We do so in no spirit of self-righteousness. We recognize that we are the beneficiaries of the toil and devotion of our fa-thers and that we can pass their legacy on to our children only by equal toil and equal devotion. We recognize too that we live in a world of peril and change - and in so uncertain a time we are all the more grateful for the inde- structible gifts of hope and love, which sustain us in adver-sity and inspire us to labor unceasingly for a more perfect community within this nation and around the earth.Now, THEREFORE, I, JOHN F. KENNEDY, President of the United States of America, in accord with the joint resolution of Congress, approved Dec. 26, 1941, which designates the fourth Thursday in November of each year as Thanksgiving Day, do hereby proclaim Thursday, the twenty-second day of November of this year, as a day of national thanksgiving.I urge that all observe this day with reverence and with humility.Let us renew the spirit of the Pilgrims at the first Thanksgiving, lonely in an inscrutable wilderness, facing the dark unknown with a faith borne of their dedication to God and a fortitude drawn from their sense that all men were brothers.Let us renew that spirit by offering our thanks for un-covenanted mercies, beyond our desert or merit, and by resolving to meet the responsibilities placed upon us.Let us renew that spirit by sharing the abundance of this day with those less fortunate, in our own land and abroad. Let us renew that spirit by seeking always to establish larg-er communities of brotherhood.Let us renew that spirit by preparing our souls for the incertitudes ahead - by being always ready to confront crisis with steadfastness and achievement with grace and modesty.Let us renew that spirit by concerting our energy and our hope with men and women everywhere that the world may move more rapidly toward the time when Thanksgiv-ing may be a day of universal celebration.Let us renew that spirit by expressing our acceptance of the limitations of human striving and by affirming our duty to strive nonetheless, as Providence may direct us, toward a better world for all mankind. Nov. 7, 1962 The only extant record of its timeline was an old church record book that notes the baptism of a baby girl, Christiana Buhe, born on Oct. 2, 1766. There were also over 200 names of church mem-bers listed in that book. I don’t know the location of this book, but Mr. Wall mentioned it in his book.These early settlers also knew the Moravians who lied in Wacho-via as Moravian preachers often preached to them. Rev. George Soelle, a Moravian minister, reg-ularly visited the homes of some of these members and preached in their homes. Soelle apparently traveled all around this area be-cause I have read that he visited Boone’s.In 1771 the pastor at Heidel-berg was named Wartman, and according to Soelle, “came from Hanover and is educated and ordained.” Remember that the Moravians kept great notes in their Moravian Records, where much material about this early time period is found. The Rev. Paul Henkel was pastor there from 1785-1789, and a Rev Shober was there in 1810-1811.Around 1815 several members of the Heidelberg Church led by Nicholas Click built a new church nearer to their home. This church was called the New Jerusalem Church, and it was for Lutherans, Methodists, and Baptists. It was located near where Jerusalem Baptist Church stands now.Services at Heidelberg were discontinued in 1860, and to-day there are only 2 physical evidences that remain of this church, the cemetery which is very overgrown, and the gran-ite gate posts. The other artifact is the church weathervane which came from Germany and is now safe in the Rowan County Museum in Salisbury.Of particular interest to me as a genealogist were the names of the original members, several of which are names in my own family.: Isaac Holdman, Nicholaus Cope, and Wil-liam Wyatt. If this is the same Isaac, he moved to the Ratledge Road area and is [probably buried in the old Holman Cem-etery there. Nicholas Cope sold 300 acres of his property below Fork to the elder Peter Hairston, later a part of the plan-tation, and is buried in the old Cope Family Cemetery, which is now near the river in the Thousand Trails Campground, and William Walker Wyatt, and his wife, Susannah Cope, who are buried at Fork Baptist Church. OstracizedBy Stephanie Williams DeanRecently, someone I considered a friend was arrested for a bad deed. The deed was a despicable and shameful one - the kind of act you wouldn’t want your mother or neighbors to hear about. But bad news travels fast – the information was made pub-lic and released to the media. The big news circulated faster than the speed of lightning. The crime made a good story for televised news and hit the internet with photos of the perpe-trator and a description of the arrest.And then I listened to and watched how quickly people were to judge, condemn, and ostracize him. You know, often, people love to see others fail and fall. They are quick to jump on the judgment wagon, start pointing fingers at other people, and spread gossip like wildfire. They gang up, take sides, and from what I can tell – they get a positive charge from it all. Way too often I hear of devout Christians standing back and observing others and making judgment calls about the be-haviors of others when instead, they should be judging their own behavior. And the gossip – you know one gossiper feeds on another. Among their tribe – the gossip and judgment are rampant. They bolster one another with judgment calls on others, which serve to elevate their false, self-perceived self-righteousness. Many suffering people have fought and are still fighting huge battles with the devil. The situations folks have lived through and had to overcome are beyond what many of us can comprehend. And where were their friends? Absent due to judgment or too embarrassed to walk alongside them be-cause it didn’t support the image they’d worked so hard to maintain? We all know people like this. I never feel good about someone else’s failure, falling, or demise. I desire to see folks do well – to do the best they can do and be the best people they can be. One of my goals in life is to be able to walk with anyone. My uncle once asked me, “If you were blind, would you want someone to walk with you?” I’ve never forgotten his question and it has become a man-tra in my life. The meaning of the word “blind” here is not in the literal sense but more of a spiritual nature. Spiritual blindness is the inability to see the truth of God through Je-sus. Every human being has been born spiritually blind and is spiritually dead in their sin. To not live in accordance with Godly values, one remains blind to the truth. Many spiritually blind folks walk among us. For the remainder of my life, I want to be so confident in myself that I can walk with anyone – the poor, the sick, the disfigured, the downtrodden, the afflicted, the mentally ill – and the blind sinner. Most of all – I want to abandon any and all judgment of others. Jesus said, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye. You, hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” (NIV)Judge less. Be kind.

Dateline 4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 28, 2024 Scenes from the 2024 ‘Twas the Night Before Bed Races Photos by Mike Barnhardt DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Nov. 28, 2024 - 5 Lauren Forbes of Mocks-ville has earned the Girl Scout Gold Award for a com-munity service project that aimed to support children's emotional needs with a sen-sory room at a local church.In her senior year of high school, the Girl Scout Am-bassador addressed the chal-lenges kids with physical and mental disorders can face and the need for safe places to regulate their emotions, to regain physical and men-tal control, or to simply step away when their emotions get too high.“Children need a place and space to calm down, de-fuse anger and take a break,” she said. “A sensory room can help to de-escalate heavy emotions before they get out of hand and prevent situa-tions before kids get over-whelmed.”“The reality of today is that a lot of kids struggle with ADD, ADHD, anger is-sues, past trauma and trouble focusing. A room such as this would give them the special attention they need to thrive and build healthy relation-ships,” said Forbes, a Girl Scout for nine years.Forbes renovated a room Girl Scout Lauren Forbes transformed a drab room at Rescue House Church into a sensory haven for children who face emotional challenges.A sensory room Scout doing her part to help children with emotional needs Lauren Forbes has been awarded the Girl Scout Gold Award. at Rescue House Church to accommodate kids who have disabilities with a sensory room that allows them to regulate their emotions in a safe place away from other kids and stress-inducing sit-uations.The Girl Scout and her team installed a beam to hold swings, gathered sensory and fidget toys and added flexi-ble seating options including a small tent and rugs. They painted an abstract mural with calming colors and add-ed fabric lighting covers to block out some of the harsh LED lighting that existed in the room.Girls in high school can earn the Gold Award by cre-ating sustainable change on a community or world issue. They address the root cause of a problem, plan and im-plement innovative solutions to drive change and lead a team of Scouts. Each girl must dedicate a minimum of 80 hours to planning and carrying out her project that benefits the community and has a long-lasting impact.“My project showed me how to see an issue and act on it. It taught me that prob-lems are meant to be solved, and you are never too young to do something about it,” she said.Thousands of Girl Scouts across the country earn the Girl Scout Gold Award each year, which first began in 1916 as the Golden Eaglet. Earning the Gold Award opens doors to scholarships, preferred admission tracks for college and career oppor-tunities. In 2024, 40 GSCP2P Girl Scouts earned their Gold Award.For more information about Girl Scouting, visit www.girlscoutsp2p.org.Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont, a United Way agency, is one of 111 councils nationwide char-tered by Girl Scouts of the USA to deliver Girl Scout program within specific geographic boundaries.

Davie finished first in 16 events to win both meets. “We worked on a lot of ‘little things’ this week, trying to get them to understand that the little things By Brian PittsEnterprise Record When the Mooresville boys basketball team hosted Ellis on Nov. 18, the Red Imps only had one blemish on their record. They were still overmatched by the unbeaten Jaguars, who won 61-48. Five different Jaguars produced points as Ellis burst to a 12-3 lead in the first quarter. Mooresville never recovered. Cam James and Graham Weaver got in early foul trouble, but coach Roger Blalock has weapons outside his starting five. Peyton Fishel was brilliant off the bench, scoring 10 of Ellis’ 14 points in the second quarter and finishing with 14 points and six rebounds. Jordan Crowley (10 points) is no slouch as a reserve. “Peyton came in and straight dominated,” Blalock said. “He did what he was supposed to do. When Peyton and Jordan come in, we don’t lose anything.”Mason Driver scored a team-high 16 as Ellis (8-0) rung up its seventh win by 13-plus points. Driver also had five assists and five steals. Bow-man Blakley collected seven points, six boards and five assists. “Mason’s the motor,” Blalock said of his point guard. “He is what drives the team.”North 61, Burke 47Nolan Allen poured in 23 points and Levi Morales did a Dennis Rodman impression on the boards as North Davie cruised at Selma Burke on Nov. 18. Allen had seven rebounds to go with his big scoring, and Morales not only scored a season-high 10, he ripped down 18 rebounds as the Wildcats halted a two-game losing streak. North also got contributions from Glen Greene (nine points, nine re-bounds), Jeremiah Hernandez (eight points) and Wade Ridenhour (seven points, six rebounds). “We started off sluggish, but we locked in in the second half,” coach Caleb Davis said. C-Lipe 60, North 54 (OT)North erased a 13-point deficit after the first quarter, only to absorb a gut-puncher in overtime at Corri-her-Lipe on Nov. 19. “We lost a heartbreaker,” Davis said. The Wildcats inched back within 29-21 at halftime, and the Allen/Ridenhour tandem forced a 40-40 tie at the end of the third. “Corriher-Lipe came out on fire, hitting five 3s to open the game,” Davis said. “We slowly dug our-selves out of that hole.”With six seconds left in the fourth, Allen sank a 3 to give North a one-point lead. Then came con-troversy. Corriher-Lipe got two free throws with one tick on the clock. The Yellow Jacket split the pair to send the game to OT. North would run out of gas. “A foul was called with zeroes on the clock, but they added a second back on and gave them free throws,” Davis said. “Levi and Nolan fouled out shortly thereafter and we lost momentum.”Allen (23 points, four 3-pointers) came through with his fifth 20-point outing. Ridenhour, who matched his season high with 14, was huge in the second half/OT. Morales had four points and eight rebounds. “I’m super proud of how every-one kept their heads in the game and did their job to get us back in it,” Davis said. “Nolan was dealing with a sore ankle that limited his ability to attack the paint, but he was still able put up 23 despite smothering defense.”North 46, South 41North Davie survived a thriller at By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The talent level in the West Row-an gym on Nov. 20 was immense. Union Pines, which is ranked No. 1 in 3-A, West, which is No. 2 in 3-A, and 4-A defending champion Davie convened for a big-time collision. The matches lived up to the hype. Most importantly, Davie survived brutal tests in both of its matches, winning 40-34 over Union Pines and 37-33 over West. Union Pines edged West 45-36. “The fight was amazing,” coach Josh Stanley said. Against Union Pines, Elliott Gould (150) got Davie started with a 5-2 decision, but the Vikings took the next five weight classes to put Davie in a 29-3 hole. “We knew what we were getting into,” Stanley said. “Maddox Crea-son (190) was out sick and their upper weights are the best that I’ve seen. I mean, I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a group of upper weights that tough. It’s ranked guy after ranked guy; No. 1 guy, No. 2 guy ... They were a bunch of buzz-saws from 157 up.”Ryder Strickland pinned at heavyweight, but then Union Pines got a tech fall to take a 34-9 lead after the eighth of 14 weights. But from 113 on, Davie explod-ed for 31 unanswered points to bounce back from the 40-36 loss to Northwest Guilford that stopped its winning streak at 18. Stephens Jacobs pinned at 113. After Jack Bost received a forfeit at 120, Aidan Szewczyk majored at 126 in his sophomore debut after missing the first five matches. Then a couple of veteran gamers, Cayden Glass (17-2 tech at 132) and Tiaj Thao (11-1 major at 138), tied things at 34 with one match left. “Stephen scares us a lot because he’s a slow starter, especially now with the new three-point take-downs,” Stanley said. “He’s been scaring the crap out of us, but then he turns it around later in matches when cardio comes to play. He gets that dog in him and he takes over.”The pressure was on Carter Hoots at 144, not that it was very noticeable. He won by injury default to seal the deal. My gosh, what a tal-ent. We’re talking about a ferocious freshman. “The (Union Pines) kid was real frustrated because Carter is a phys-ical kid,” Stanley said. “He’s sweet and he’s a great kid, but he’s very much like (Hunter) Testa when he gets on the mat. He is taking ground. He is wanting to dominate the space, and that’s the way you want them. So the kid was getting frustrated the whole time. “Carter stepped up huge in both matches. He has an absolutely crazy mindset for a freshman. He just walks out in the middle of that pressure - five matches into his freshman year, on a defending state championship team - and just eats it up. I’m telling you, he’s different.”Davie 37, W. Rowan 33Davie added to its mojo and avenged its only loss from last year. “West was tough,” Stanley said. “They gave us as hard a time as Union Pines did.”Jamarius Pelote decisioned at 165, but the Falcons had a 15-3 lead after four weight classes. Strickland pinned, but West responded with a tech to make it 20-9 in West’s favor. But again Davie began to rev its engine when Jacobs came up at 113. Jacobs, Bost and Szewczyk rattled off consecutive pins. Glass majored at 132 and Hoots gave Davie an in-surmountable 37-24 lead with a pin in the third-to-last match. The War Eagles ran their record to 6-1 despite not having a sick Creason, who is 3-0 with three pins. It sure was nice having Szewczyk in the lineup for the first time. “Aidan attacked the pin really hard (against Union Pines), and sometimes when doing that you are not scoring the points that you should be scoring,” Stanley said. “He probably could’ve run that score up a little better and got us bonus (points). He battled back in the first match. In the second match, he set-tled in and did his thing.“Bost is one who is going to be big for us along the way. He’s kind of the Swiss Army knife.”Although freshman Graylan Anderson lost twice by tech fall, Stanley raved about his never-give-up spirit. “We were cheering for him as he’s coming off because he was going to let the (Union Pines) kid take his arm home with him,” Stan-ley said. “He was not going to get pinned. He fought tooth and nail in both matches. I turned around to the team and said: ‘That is fighting off your back; that is what wins dual state titles.’”Notes: Jacobs, Glass, Hoots and Strickland are all 7-0. Gould is 6-1. “Ryder’s got (assistant coach Caleb) Spurlin breathing down his neck all the time,” Stanley said. “Coach Spurlin is on him every day. They go at it and he is beating on Ryder. So Ryder does not get any breaks in the room right now. He is definitely better than I’ve ever seen him.” ... Davie’s lineup could look different every week, which is not a bad thing. “The competition in the room is crazy,” he said. “Week to week, we don’t really know who’s going to take the spot.” Wrestlers pass test with wins over top teams Swim teams beat Oak Grove By Brian PittsEnterprise Record There was nothing to like about the first half of the season opener at Alexander Central on Nov. 22. Things were a lot better in the second half as Davie’s varsity boys basket-ball team won going away, 53-47, after trailing by as many as 13 and by 11 at halftime. The sleepwalking War Eagles were down 16-3 early in the second quarter. At that point, they were 0 for 10 from the field and 0-6 from the 3-point line. Finally, they found their pulse when Asher Tolbert, a transfer from Calvary, sank a 3 with 6:28 on the second-quarter clock. Jackson Powers followed with a triple and Davie was done playing with its food. But when Davie entered the lock-er room behind 29-18, it had to face coach Josh Pittman’s wrath. “I told y’all what was on the board,” he said. “I told y’all how the game was going to play out if we weren’t prepared, and look how the game is playing out. I told y’all No. 3 needs to have 25 points for them to win, and he got 14.”Motivated Davie torched Central 35-18 in the second half. A 16-4 run at the start of the third was spear-headed by Elliott Erlandsson’s six points. When Bryson Mickey hit a pair of free throws, Davie had its first lead at 34-33. A key bucket came from Adam Brown. After his team missed six straight shots, Brown scored on a nice drive to provide a 40-39 lead. It was 44-44 before Powers scored five during a 6-0 burst. Davie did not look back from there. “Asher played well off the bench,” Pittman said. “Adam played really well, especially in the second half. Landon King did some positive things.”Powers led the way with 14 points and eight rebounds. Mickey put up 10 points, four assists, four steals and four rebounds. Erlands-son turned in 10 points and five rebounds. Ethan Driver contributed two points, eight rebounds and five assists even though he sat for eight minutes in the second half with four fouls. “It’s hard to play against a zone all night,” Pittman said. “The reac-tion we had in the second half was everything I could’ve asked for and more.”Notes: It was a little deja vu. Last year Davie beat Central 62-53 after starting the fourth quarter in a 47-33 hole. ... After shooting 6 of 23 in the first half, Davie went 12 of 23 in the second. ... Both teams struggled from deep. Davie went 3-18 from beyond the arc, while Central went 4-19.

They performed very well and had some amazing individual swims. They cheered their hearts out for their teammates; I wouldn’t be surprised if many of them were a little hoarse (the next day). They had a good few days of practice leading up to the meet and had a great pre-meet team dinner arranged by our wonderful, supportive families the night before, and they came in with a positive attitude and energized. They swam very disciplined, and as a team swam a much more technically sound meet compared to the season opener. We were excited to see them achieve some personal-best times and having fun doing so. Overall all the coaches were happy to see them perform so well, and they are growing together well as a team.”On the girls’ side, Davie smoked the Grizzlies with 10 first places. Individually, there were three double winners: Emory Butler (200 free at 2:15.58 and 100 free at 1:01.06), Skylar Zuleger (200 IM at 2:17.86 and 500 free at 5:31.15) and Sarah Rajacich (100 butterfly at 1:12.80 and 100 backstroke at 1:14.17).

Individually, the Davie boys had two wins apiece from Zach Hirata (50 free at 23.55 and 100 fly at 54.91) and Logan Zuleger (100 free at 57.28 and 100 breast at 1:10.43). In the butterfly, Hi-rata picked up his second au-tomatic regional qualification. Xaiden Groff won the 100 back at 1:08.87, and Hirata, Zuleger, Groff and Josh Mc-Bride took the 200 medley relay at 1:51.54. “Xaiden, who dropped over 19 seconds in two events combined, Marion Shelton and Alex York achieved per-sonal bests in both individ-ual events with some great margins, and Luke Wollner dropped his best 500 time by over a minute (64.99 sec-onds),” coach Hirata said. “ A lot of swimmers achieved a personal best in events they didn’t think they could swim, and many of them also swam events that they’ve not swam before - ever. I always tell them that we trust them and if we’ve put them in the race, it’s because we trust that they can not only do it but do well in it.” Swim ... By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The season opener for the Davie girls basketball team wasn’t a dud - it scored 57 points and sliced a 17-point deficit to four - but it wasn’t a success, either. The War Eagles were drooling as their first game approached, but a 66-57 loss at Alexander Central on Nov. 22 was a hit to their vibes. Although it was a let-down in the wake of a hyped preseason, it was the kind of opponent Davie needed to face. Alexander Central is a program that’s had juice for years, illustrated by their 23-5, 20-8 and 22-7 records the past three years. “I think we battled ad- Alexander Central rains 3s on varsity girls versity a lot,” coach Lindsey Adams said. “To be down by 17 with a young team and still be able to fight back gives us hope that this team can be something special.”The difference: The Cou-gars outscored Davie 33-15 from the 3-point line. They went on a 5-for-7 tear from deep to carve out a 27-10 lead. “It wasn’t the offense I was disappointed in,” Adams said. “We put up 57 points even though we did not look the greatest on offense. But we had miscommunications on defense. When I point out the shooters, that means they can shoot three or four feet behind the (3-point) line. You cannot help off shooters or they’re going to get their shots off.” Give Davie credit for fight-ing back. Madison Daugherty and Bailey Aderhold banged 3s, Makenzie Gentry drove for two and Vivian Vaughters scored inside during a 13-2 run that pulled Davie within 29-23. When Avarie Martin and Emmie Burris scored six points, the War Eagles were down 39-35 in the third quar-ter. Alas, Central went on another 3-point barrage. It made 4 of 5 triples to push the margin to 51-37. Down the stretch, eight was as close as Davie could get at 51-43 and 54-46. “A shooter means you have to be out there and push her off the line,” Adams said. “It was just a learning mo- ment for them that I think they had to go through.”Burris paced Davie with 13 points to go with four re-bounds, four assists and three steals. Martin and Aderhold had 12 and nine points, re-spectively. Freshman Gracie Shore had five points and four assists. Vaughters had six points, five rebounds and went 4-4 from the foul line. Notes: Central has de-feated Davie four straight times, but the gap is closing. The previous three meetings: 69-37, 56-20 and 55-44 last year. ... Davie shot just 29 per-cent from the floor but hung around by hitting 20 of 28 free throws. ... Central, which shot 38 percent overall, went 11 of 27 from long range.

After pound-ing North Davie by 20, the Jaguars shocked unbeaten Mooresville 43-42 in over-time on Nov. 18. The Jaguars faced a 12-4 deficit at the end of the first quarter, but Kinsley Harbour nailed three 3-pointers in the second to cut the halftime deficit to 20-17. Then five different Jaguars - Harbour, Sydney Ward, Zoe Summers, Annabelle Wright and Layla Hazlip - scored during a 13-4 run in the third that lifted the visitors in front 30-24. The Red Imps went for 16 fourth-quarter points to force OT at 40-40, but Harbour buried her fourth triple with 20 seconds left for the game’s final points. Harbour put up 32 points over two games, including a season-high 18 at Moores-ville. Summers turned in a season-high 11. Ward chipped in 7 as Ellis improved to 5-3. C-Lipe 44, North 41North Davie needed some-thing to feel good about after losing 44-8 at Selma Burke and dropping to 0-7. The Wildcats remained winless after a trip to Corriher-Lipe on Nov. 19, but coach Austin King loved their fight in the narrow loss. They led at halftime and at the end of the third and finished with 15 more points than their previous scoring high. “We played a hell of a game,” King said. “If we made 50 percent of our free throws (North went 17 of 40 from the line), we win.”Zariya Oliver (14) and Callaway Spillman (13) played huge roles in a game that saw 50 fouls. “It was a phenomenal game offensively and defen-sively by us,” King said. South 33, North 25South Davie has given coaches Julie Snow and Beth Carter some gray hairs this season, but it’s also given them a few memorable mo-ments, like a pair of wins over county rivals. The Tigers, who knocked off Ellis by six on Nov. 7, beat visiting North Davie on Nov. 21. They were in con-trol throughout in their third straight win in the series. “We played great,” Snow said. “We had two great practices this week and a team-bonding session provid-ed by Breathe Yoga in town. Shout out to Kelly Dillard for supporting our girls team. It really brought us together. We really clicked. We did not play selfishly and most baskets were on assists.”Allie Cothren (14) deliv-ered her most points in five games to help South (3-6) stop a two-game slide. EG Snow had eight, while Akiela Young went 4 for 4 from the foul line. “Coach Carter and I are proud of how hard the girls are working through the toughness of the season,” Snow said. “We love playing North and dressing snazzy for the game.“Allie takes a beating underneath the basket. EG played great defense. When she gains confidence, it will be great. Karileigh Munday came in and played the five spot (as we) put Allie on the wing. It worked out well. She does anything you ask her to do and she tries so hard.”Snow added: “Shania Brown did not score, but she’s really starting to make a difference on the court. Addyson Adkins has never played before, but she’s com-ing around and did a good job at the end of the second quar-ter keeping North out of the paint. Sakariah Allison played tough defense.

Brandon Thalasinos, the new JV coach, said this could be the beginning of something wonderful. “This is a special group,” he said. “I’m excited for the season and I’m excited for what the future holds for these guys. Most of them have played together for a while, so there’s a chemistry there that’s uncoachable, just a connec-tion they have.”Dulin, a 6-foot-1 whirl-wind, delivered an absurd performance. He had nine of Davie’s 16 points in the first quarter, he went into the halftime locker room with 20 and finished with 25. “He’s a special player,” Thalasinos said. “I mean, he has a high motor. He doesn’t let anything really bother him. He’s always got a smile on his face. He’s a true leader on the floor, the guys rally around him and they feed off the positive energy that he brings to the team.”The Cougars didn’t have an answer for the other half of the brother combination, ei-ther, as Nance scored 17. The freshman brothers combined for seven 3-pointers, with Nance knocking down four. “He’s high energy, lots of pressure,” Thalasinos said of point guard Nance. “He brings By Brian PittsEnterprise Record South Davie’s wrestling team held on for dear life in a three-point win over North Davie. Before traveling to North, the Tigers ran into powerful China Grove and lost 80-29 on the road on Nov. 18. Three of South’s five wins came from Harris Wagstaff (pin), Jason Voss (pin) and Elijah Tatum (tech fall). The other two vic-tories were forfeits. Later in the evening, South hammered North Rowan 76-24. North Davie lost to Erwin (78-30) and West Rowan (63-42) before breaking into the win column. Getting four pins at Erwin on Nov. 12 were Hai-ley Thao (76), Connor Gannon (113), Peyton Jordan (175) and Mason Sheppard (215). Aubrey Ishuin (83), Gannon, Paxton Broadus (120), Sawyer Hall (144) and Jordan (175) turned in pins in the loss to West Rowan. After starting 0-4, the Wild-cats broke through against vis-iting Selma Burke on Nov. 18. Ishuin, Chris Gonzalez (90), Bentley Grooms (106), Broa-dus, Wesley Stanley (132) and Hall got pins in the 52-33 victory. Gannon had a major decision. At this point, North coach Jamey Holt had three unde-feated wrestlers. Thao (4-0) appears to be an unstoppable force as a sixth grader at 76. “Hailey is a machine,” Holt said. “Her technique is great, she’s fearless and our team, especially the other sixth graders, look at her work ethic in the room and it’s become infectious.”Hall was 5-0 at 144/150 and Jordan was 4-0 at 175. Both are eighth graders. “Sawyer missed all of last year, but it’s been like riding a bike for him,” Holt said. “He’s constantly working hard and wanting to learn and get better. “Peyton is a grinder. He doesn’t have the prettiest matches at times, but he battles and wrestles hard at all times.”South 54, North 51While South prevailed in a stiff test at North on Nov. Continued From Page 8South Davie on Nov. 21. Allen, Hernandez and Tan-nyr Carrier sank 3s as North bolted to a 15-5 lead in the first quarter. A Ty Cozart outburst in the second quarter kept South within striking distance at 23-13. Anderson Branham took over in the third to keep the Tigers alive at 34-26. The game flipped in an instant in the fourth. South went on an 11-0 run and took the lead. But then Riden-hour answered with one of North’s biggest shots of the season, a triple that restored the North lead. Greene played a key fourth-quarter role as the Wildcats, who lost by 47 and 28 to South last year, stopped a four-game losing streak in the series. “The gym was electric,” Davis said. “North hasn’t had DAVIE COUNTYSPORTS PHOTOS by Marnic Lewis • High School Sports • Youth Sports • Rec.

It took us a few possessions to regain mo-mentum, but I’m really proud of the way our team kept our composure, especially in the last four minutes when Levi and Glen exploited their trap with several consecutive easy buckets.”Allen, the county’s top scorer at 21.3 per game, con-tinued to dazzle with 17 points and four triples. Ridenhour scored 10 and handed out three assists. Greene had eight points and 10 rebounds. Mo-rales had 12 rebounds and five Thriller ... assists. “Word has gotten out that Nolan is the real deal, as this is the second game in a row that teams have made him the focus of their defense, running box-and-ones and trapping him every time he crosses halfcourt,” Davis said. “The rest of the team has stepped up and converted those op-portunities when they’ve come their way.”Cozart and Branham gave South a chance with 18 and 16 points, respectively. Cozart matched Allen with four treys. Branham went bonkers after coming in with a 5.5 average. “Anderson has been play-ing well for weeks,” Mayfield said. “The ball just fell for him tonight.”North improved to 4-5 after losing three of four. South (4-5) fell for the fourth time in five games.

South beats North in see-saw wrestling match 21, it was a halting victory because North gave the Tigers 30 points with forfeits. South has won two county battles, including a one-point win over Ellis, “but we’ve got to be realistic,” South coach Russell Hilton said. “We didn’t wrestle very good. North Davie gave us 30 points. The team that wrestled the best did not win. North Davie won nine actual matches, we won four. So I wasn’t pleased at all.”It was a rollercoaster. Pins by Broadus (120) and Skyler Nunley (126) gave North a quick 12-0 lead. South’s KJ McClelland pinned at 132, and South got forfeits at 138, 150, 157 and 165 to build a 30-18 lead. North’s only win during the 132-165 stretch was Hall’s pin at 144. From 175-215, North’s Jordan, Karson Nunn and Sheppard pounded out pins to lift North in front 36-30. After North forfeited at 250, Thao pinned for the hosts at 76 and Kaden Howell got a pin for South at 83, resulting in a tie at 42 with four weight classes remaining. “(Thao) weighed in at 64, so she’s giving up 12 pounds to everybody,” said Hilton, who offered high praise to the young North star. “But she’s fast, she’s aggressive and she’s relentless. She’s really good at her bars on top. I mean, she’s just a hammer on top. She’s constantly working those bars and turning you and turning you and turning you. She just never stops. “Kaden is doing really well for a sixth grader. He’s tough.”Brennen Mason pinned at 90 to give North a 48-42 advantage, but South’s Rico Evans answered with a sec-ond-period pin at 98 to force the sixth tie at 48. Evans was trailing 8-2 before storming back. “Rico will get behind sometimes, but he’s only lost one in two years, and that was in the finals of the conference tournament last year,” Hilton said. “Rico got a reversal and pinned him. Rico is funky; he can get out of stuff that most people can’t get out of. Rico is really tough on top with halves. If he pins ‘em, it’s with a half.”South’s Colten Beck settled the issue with a pin at 106. Although the lead was only 54-48, South would have won on criteria had North tied it in the final match at 113. “Colten is usually at 90 pounds,” Hilton said. “He’s starting to hit a little growth spurt. He hasn’t made 90 in the past two weeks. He weighed in at 94, so I had to bump Rico or Colten up. It’s a big jump, but Colten pinned him pretty quick.”Gannon took a decision at 113 to cut the final margin to three. Both teams won nine weight classes. North held an 8-4 edge in pins, but it couldn’t overcome five forfeits. Con-sidering North captured nine of 13 real matchups, who could have asked for more from the Wildcats? “I was very pleased,” Holt said. “We wrestled well, and even in a few of the ones we lost, Timmy (Allen) and I felt like we were right there in the match until we got caught on our backs.”The Tigers, who lost to North 65-39 and 63-42 last year, ended a three-match los-ing streak in the series. While South improved to 5-3, North fell to 1-5. Moor 55, Ellis 42After winning the previous two matches by a combined 161-36, Ellis succumbed to visiting Mooresville on Nov. 18. Getting pins were Jaxon Gay (83), Greyson Daughtry (90), Vincent Clements (165), Colby Mason (175), Henry Butler (215) and Brodie New-man (250). Connor Cornatzer (113) and Mason Barnes (120) won decisions. At this point, five eighth graders were still carrying spotless records. Gay, Mason, Butler and Clements were 5-0, while Newman was 3-0. “Jaxon is an athlete,” coach Brian Murphy said. “He’s a long and strong eighth grader in a lower weight class who’s still learning. “Colby is a rookie to the sport, but he has long arms and really strong hands and is super coachable. He asks questions and works hard. “Butler is a very technical wrestler and maybe the hardest worker in the room. He under-stands leverage and how to use his hips to turn kids. “Brodie is an animal. He’s big, tall, strong as a ox and uses it to his advantage. And he’s turning into a more vocal leader in the practice room. “Vincent is strong, quick and uses his hips well to keep himself out of bad positions.”West 59, Ellis 46Three days later, the Jag-uars lost at home to West Rowan and fell to 3-3 on the year. The Ellis winners were Gay (pin), Cornatzer (pin), Clements (pin), Butler (pin), Newman (pin) and Ayden Davis (tech fall). West gave Ellis two forfeits. “We were missing three starters and we got pinned in two matches we should’ve won,” Murphy said. so much defense to the team, and at the same time he can run an offense. He doesn’t let anything bother him. He knows when to attack. He has great game management and basketball IQ. He’s a natural leader. He is a true one (point guard). The War Eagles led 33-14 at halftime and 58-27 at the end of the third. Varsity coach Josh Pittman said the signature moment for him involved William Martin, who had one of the greatest hustle plays you’ll ever see in the third quarter. Justin Haggler was third for Davie with seven points. “Cam Knox came in and brought defensive pressure,” Thalasinos said. “Justin came off the bench and put up seven points.”The 16-man roster includes of sophomores Aiden Horton, Jayce Bentley, Knox, Tate Helton, Palmer Thomason and Ian Patton and freshmen Wyatt Harwood, Edarius Oliver, Carter Cornett, Martin, Hag-gler, Paxton Lewis, Weston Barefoot and Aiden Houser. Thalasinos’ assistant coach is James McRae.

His grandfather took him to three or four livestock auctions every week.“That’s what got me inter-ested to be an auctioneer.”In the late 50s, while in high school, he sold items at a retail auction. When he graduated, he headed to Ma-son City, Iowa for auctioneer-ing school.What followed is a work ethic that few could follow.

He always favored selling autos over livestock because, well, the pay was better and the work easier and less smelly. “It wasn’t a lot more, but it was better.”Ellis keeps his auctioneer-ing license active, although at age 81, he doesn’t work call-ing numbers often. “I can still get it along, but it ain’t like it used to be,” he said.He was presented the plaque by Kyle Swicegood, who is serving his second three-year term on the auc-tioneer licensing board. He said he was excited when he first saw the list of auction-eers to be recognized. Right at the top was “Mr. Fred O. Ellis, Cooleemee, NC.”“If you’re from Davie County, you know of Daniel Boone and Fred Ellis,” said Swicegood, who started his own auctioneering career when his real estate business suffered during the 2008 re-cession. Ellis wouldn’t give a demonstration of his auc-tioneering ability, nor would he reveal his “filler” word, unique to every auctioneer. “I just don’t give my filler word out,” he said. “I’ve used different ones, depending on what I’m selling.”Niueteen auctioneers were recognized, and as Swice-good read the names off of a list, it turns out that Ellis had worked with quite a few, and was friends with even more.“The auctioneering com-munity is a tight-knit group. We’re competitors, but we call each other looking for advice. That’s one of the things I love about our trade,” Swicegood said. work a livestock auction in South Hill, Va.

By Shirley ThorneCounty Line Correspondent It's Thanksgiving week and our County Line com-munity has much to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for this year. We've had some un-usual weather, but our com-munity escaped with minor damage and power outages from Hurricane Helene.Sadly, that wasn't the case for the mountains of our state. Many rivers such as the French Broad and Swan-nanoa devastated towns and washed away homes and businesses. The latest death toll is 103 lives, the greatest of any disaster in our state. Damage has been estimated at $55 billion. Let's all pray for the Lord's special bless-ings upon those families af-fected by this hurricane.County Liners have an-swered the call for help. Many of our residents have made monetary donations to relief organizations such as Salvation Army, American Red Cross, and Samaritan's Purse. Some individuals and some of our churches have collected and taken truck-loads of needed items. Calvary Baptist Church has taken several loads of donated items to the West Yancy Fire Department, Poplar, and Swannanoa area. Items included water, clothes, non-perishable food, blankets, coats, insulin, over-the-counter meds, etc. plus pallets and big boxes for sorting items for distribution. Members continue to collect needed items for the winter.As photos show, Clarks-bury Methodist and other churches in the Statesville District of the Global Meth-odist Church have sent many loads of needed items to the affected areas. Bales of hay were sent for farm animals.Upcoming communi-ty events: V-Point Ruritan country breakfast from 7-10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 7; break-fast with Santa at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 7 at Clarks-bury Methodist; Christmas cantata "A Season for Joy" at 11 a.m. worship Sunday, Dec. 15 at Society Baptist; and Christmas program at 10 a.m. worship followed by fellowship meal Sunday, Dec. 22, at Clarksbury Meth-odist.

Join us in prayer for the Lord's healing upon Carol, Michele, Rose Marie, Ter-ry, Caleb, and others who are having health problems.
