Davie County Enterprise Record 12052024USPS 149-160 Number 49 Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024 16 Pages 75¢ Teen Car Expert Davie High student on national panel 89076 3821260Page 4 Gobble, Gobble War Eagle wrestlers bring home tourney title Page B1 Dr. Francis W. Slate dies at age 102 Surgeon, public servant chose Mocksville Dr. Francis W. Slate - former Mocksville mayor, county com-missioner, surgeon and a cham-pion of Davie County - died last week.He was 102, and had called Mocksville his home for some 65 years.“To live till the age of 102 was an accomplishment. But to live those years as fully as he did, helping others in a way only he could. That was extraordinary,” his son, Kenneth Slate, wrote on Facebook. He is also survived by daughters Jillian Gatewood and Moira Slate.Dr. Slate grew up and got his initial medical training in South Africa. He and wife Daphne decided to move to the United States, and after medical residen-cies, he looked at a list of places that needed surgeons.Davie County had just opened a new hospital, but didn’t have a surgeon. It was at the bottom of the list, but Dr. Slate chose Davie over other, more financially lu-crative career options.Imagine the county’s first surgeon arriving, dashing with a South African accent. He had to earn acceptance, and did it with a skilled surgeon’s hands, a caring attitude towards all people, and a smile and a way about him that just made people like him.“My father was a good and de-cent man,” his son wrote. “My fa-ther poured his heart into provid-ing a service to his community ... with dedication and compassion.”Other online comments about Dr. Slate echoed those senti-ments:Harry Little: “I was honored to work with him when I was a Dr. Francis W. Slate wears his “I Run This Town” t-shirt. The former mayor died last week. new physician in Mocksville. He told me to be patient, as it takes a while for an outsider to be accept-ed. He was a wonderful mentor. I will always remember and honor the memory of Dr. Francis Slate.”Marie Collins: “I loved Dr. Slate. He was the (A Storehouse for Jesus) first medical ministries director and also went to Ghana with us one year. It was an honor to work with him.”Melinda Beauchamp: “He was my favorite mayor ... really my favorite person in this county. He was kind, generous, courteous, gentle, loveable and therefore so loved by this entire community. We have lost a true gentleman.”Barbara Owens: “His love for mankind showed in his day to day life.”Laura Barnhardt: “He was a wonderful doctor plus a great friend to many of us.”Dr. Slate had served as a coun-ty commissioner for 12 years, a town board member for 10 years, and Mocksville mayor for 18 years.Among his accomplishments: He was among the first doctors in town to allow blacks to enter the front door of his practice. He paid for the college education for two young black men. He supported Doctors Without Borders, and participated in multiple humani-tarian missions.His son wrote about going along with his father on medi-cal rounds. “I saw firsthand the respect and gratitude he earned from his patients. Then, years later, some of those same peo-ple would approach him in the grocery store and tell of their appreciation for a procedure he had done. There were thousands of them.. At the time of his retire-ment, he had over 35,000 patient files. A staggering number, my father’s biggest legacy is written on the faces of the people in those files.”A memorial service is sched-uled for 2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6 at Davie Funeral Service on Valley Road. He will be buried at a later date Rose Cemetery. Davie residents were treated to a winter won- derland early Tuesday morning, as the first mea- surable snowfall in nearly two years fell overnight. And because the temperature was around 20ºF, it stuck around for a while. Unofficial measure- ments came in at about a half of an inch to more than an inch. Public schools closed for the day. At left, snow covers the rosemary, butterfly bush, privet and arborvitae at the Calahaln Bootanical Gardens (the photographer’s back yard), where the chickadee takes advantage of the food give- away offered there. It was the first measurable snowfall in this area since January of 2022. - Photos by Mike Barnhardt Snow brightens these cold days Bundle up and head outside.There’s a holiday event every day this weekend in Davie Coun-ty - from a tree lighting Friday and parade Saturday in Mocks-ville to a celebration in Bermuda Run on Sunday.It starts at 6 p.m. Friday when the oak trees on the quad in Downtown Mocksville will be lit in a brief ceremony. There will be a sled for photo opportunities, and hot chocolate will be avail-able.•On Saturday, the Hometown Christmas Parade with the theme “Santa’s Workshop” will travel through Downtown Mocksville at 2 p.m. It will start at Park Avenue, travel on North Main Street to Downtown, turn onto East Depot Street and end at Railroad Street.Traffic will be blocked on North Main starting at 1 p.m.•BERMUDA RUN - It’s down-right chilly, and the pleasant smell of wood-burning fires reminds us Parade, lights and celebration this weekend By Julia BurazerDavie Respect Initiative Friday, Nov. 8 at 5 p.m. was truly a celebration.The meeting room at Mocksville Town Hall had standing room only as Mayor Will Marklin recognized three new Ambassadors of Respect (AoR).Each received a certificate, a “Respect Matters” wooden medal-lion, and a check for $1,000. There were so many good applications for the 3rd quarter of 2024, the panel was challenged to narrow it down to three awardees. Each quarter up to three people/groups are selected to become AoRs.• Emma Grace Snow is a powerhouse in a little body. At 12 years old, she is already thinking like a world citizen. Sports is her passion and she has been playing all kinds since she was 4 years old. When she was in fourth grade, she observed that not everyone had the proper footwear for the sport they were par-ticipating in, leading to sliding, blisters and sometimes more serious injuries. Over time she observed this in many sports. “Happy Feet Contributions” is the idea Emma Grace presented to the panelists. Her plan is to set up donation boxes in schools where Please See Christmas - Page 5 people could donate lightly used shoes. Instagram, Facebook, school announcements and posters would be used to promote the idea. After collecting all the shoes, she plans to display them, possibly at Recreation and Parks, and let students select appropriate athletic footwear. “I feel that seeing such a big county project could really spark some light in other people. Kids could learn a lot and have a great opportunity to try something new to help the world and people around them.” We are all on Team Emma and look forward to following this project.South Davie Middle School was well represented this quarter. Emma Grace is a seventh grader.• The next to receive recognition was Girl Scout Troop 2580. All three of the girls: Clara Parsley, Iris Marion and Ruby Marion, at-tend South Davie. Their award-winning project and creative idea is to refurbish the courtyard at the Davie County Public Library. Their steps for completing this project include: cleaning the court-yard, fundraising for new decorations, adding new benches and other ‘Happy Feet,’ help for Hope and library courtyard projects get grants Teens named Ambassadors of Respect Please See Respect - Page 4 2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024Editorial Page USPS 149-160 171 S.

Co-existBy Julie Terry CartnerSome people delight in facts and figures, numbers and calculations, while others feel their eyes rolling back in their heads at the first indication of equations and exponents. Some people are okay with math until numbers suddenly have let-ters added to the equations, while others delight in the un-known, but not unsolvable statements like (f)x=ax+b, a2x-b2=c2 or A= mc2, unsolvable for some and a rush for other.Some people delight in discussing the point of view, plot, or various themes of a work of literature or expounding on the beauty of the onomatopoeia, alliteration, or personification in a poem while others see nothing but weirdly placed words.Still others delight in the words of the Scriptures, study-ing the words of the Holy Bible, whether it be the stories of Noah’s ark, Moses in the bullrushes, or the events and en-counters of Matthew or Mark or the many others in their in-teractions with Jesus.For some, math and science are a foreign language, for others, the analysis of literature is equally so, and still others are baffled by the words of the scriptures. Many, however, are as fascinated by one as they are with the others.On our recent trip to Northern Ireland, one of my must sees was the Giant’s Causeway. To some this geological for-mation may just be a pile of rocks, but to most, the science and the stories behind this formation are fascinating.Around 60 million years ago two events occurred in Northern Ireland, massive volcanic activity and a shifting of the Earth’s tectonic plates. The shifting of the plates allowed basaltic lava to escape from the Earth’s interior to cover that coastal area. More and more lava escaped, creating layers of hardening lava. As it cooled, the igneous rock contracted, cre-ating cracks, not just on the surface, but down through the many layers of stone, ultimately forming over 40,000 basalt hexagonal columns. In some areas, the surface is relatively smooth and looks like a giant, black, mosaic tile floor, and in other areas, the columns vary in length and resemble step-pingstones leading down to the Irish Sea. The scientific information is fascinating. How could that have happened, so perfectly? I understand both the volcanic activity and the shifting of the plates but am beyond amazed at the perfect symmetry of the columns. Equally fascinating, however, is the myth behind this landform.Legend tells us that Finn McCool made his home in Northern Ireland, and Benandonner lived across the Irish Sea in Scotland. When Benandonner threatened Ireland, Finn grabbed huge chunks of rock and threw them into the sea, creating a path from Northern Ireland to Scotland. Then Finn ran across the path to confront Benandonner. Unfortunately for him, Finn discovered that Benandonner was much larg-er, so Finn ran back home, soon followed by his enemy. His wily wife came up with a plan, and disguised Finn as a baby. When Benandonner saw the baby giant Finn, he assumed that if the baby was that big, his father must be huge, and thus he returned posthaste to Scotland. As he traversed the sea, he destroyed as many of the causeway stones as he could to keep Finn from following him, but the stones on the Northern Irish side were left intact.And finally, the religious answer is stated in the simplest of terms, “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the To the editor:Cognition of Davie County has been challenged.The Davie Community Foundation and the Mebane Chari-table Foundation recognize the need for an executive director with business experience and a vision for Cognition’s future to lead the organization. The foundations believe Cognition is an important asset for the Davie community and can become even more valuable with the right leader.The two foundations challenged Cognition to raise $100,000 per year with 3-year commitments by Dec. 31. If Cognition meets the challenge, each foundation will match with $25,000 in January 2025.The goal of the challenge is to allow Cognition to hire an experienced executive director who can step in and learn the organization without the responsibility of raising money from day one.As of Nov. 30, Cognition has commitments of $77,115 leaving $22,885 to be raised by the end of December. If you believe as we do that Cognition adds value to our community and has the potential to expand its offerings, we invite you to help them finish the challenge by donating by Dec. 31.

Together, we can ensure Cognition has the resources it earth…” Genesis 1:1 … “And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so…” Genesis 1:9Legends are stories, often created to explain things that seemed unexplainable. They were passed down, generation to generation, embellished and re-defined over the years to create fascinating tales. The artist’s brain looks at something and wonders, and in doing so, creates – whether a painting, song, or story.Science is defined by data created by factual information. It is objective in nature and is constructed through evidence.Religion is based simply on faith. Christianity is based on the teachings of the Bible and the Triune God.Who’s to say one is “right” and another is “wrong”? Can’t science, legend, and religion co-exist, each in its own place? Similarly, can’t we all co-exist, each with our own diversity? I Wonder WhyBy Gaye HootsScanning the headlines on the internet leaves me ponder-ing much that I read. Recently what was labeled art consisted of a banana duct taped to a canvas. The signature was “Co-median.” This did make sense to me, but the fact that this item sold for over six million dollars was mind-boggling. The person who purchased it had made their money dealing with cryptocurrency, another thing I do not understand and would be afraid to invest in. I know little about it, but my friends invested and lost significantly. I know of no one who made money with it. Perhaps he paid for it in cryptocurrency that may become worthless, if so, that would be ironic. He stated he planned to eat the banana but that the artist had given in-structions on replacing the banana with a fresh one and retap-ing it with duct tape.Other puzzling articles are about sexual scandals, not just among the rich and famous but also among teachers, preach-ers, and other professionals. The accusations are not just men, but women also, and often parents are accused of abusing their children, some under one year old. This week I read that the head of a private school for preschoolers that costs almost forty-five thousand dollars a year was charged with child abuse and publishing videos of the acts. Perhaps he felt no one would believe a child that young. It is a problem across all socioeconomic levels. Interspersed with these articles is “news” about well-known females wearing see-thru dress-es, low-cut and revealing attire, and descriptions of partial nudity. They did not include pictures of men exposing their bodies, I looked to see.We are still arguing over whether bathrooms should be designated by sex or gender. It has just become an issue in Congress as a trans person has been elected. The solution I would prefer is a single bathroom with a door that locks and may be used by either sex or gender. The best solution I have seen for large public buildings, like schools, is a row of single stalls that latch, with a row of sinks and no doors leaving the area between the stalls and sinks visible from each end so the area can be monitored.There are daily descriptions of both celebrities and oth-ers dying, many in dramatic ways from drug overdoses. In the case of the celebrities, charges are being brought against those who provided and administered the drugs. The news has frequent references to millions of dollars’ worth of drugs being intercepted and this is a small fraction of what reach-es our country and is distributed. We lost my granddaughter to a drug overdose after three separate inpatient rehabs and multiple outpatient treatment programs. Close friends have lost family members also. It is heartbreaking and once intro-duced into this culture few recover. We were fortunate that a detective with the Mocksville force did pursue a conviction and the dealer who sold my granddaughter the drug is now incarcerated. We know of Mexican cartels and now Haitian gangs and others that contribute to this. Our government has been ineffective in stopping the supply, and with education and experience working with substance abuse prevention and treatment and psychiatric disorders I was unable to save my granddaughter.Recent articles concerned chemicals included in our food as additives and preservatives that other advanced countries do not permit. I assumed the FDA regulated these, but they left a loophole for GRAS or generally accepted additives which are controlled by food companies and not reviewed by the FDA. One example is Froot Loops cereal; the US ver-sion includes food dyes and preservatives that Canada and some European countries do not allow. I am interested in this as there are many food items I must avoid or pay the price. Some are meat tenderizers. low-fat milk products, and orien-tal sauces. This may be a factor in ADHD also.I also learned that while we have no gold backing the US dollar, the US has over 8000 tons of gold stored here, some belonging to other countries. The gold the US treasury stores is now valued above five hundred and forty-five billion based on internet info. The last info I saw on our national debt was above thirty-three trillion. Can you imagine the trouble we could get ourselves into if we had an open-ended credit limit?Being retired may be a dangerous thing as you don’t have time to consider these issues when working, managing a household, and raising a family. Many of the issues I have raised have been present most of my lifetime and have varied little under either political party, and these remarks are food for thought for all of us regardless of party affiliations. Special WordsBy Marie CraigWhen I was about 10 or 12, I read a library book about ef-ficiency experts. I’ve never been the same since as I put into practice all the time and energy saving methods that I learned about. One aspect of this is being able to vocalize a compli-cated situation with just one or two words. I’ve learned that such words are my good friends. I’ll list some examples here.SANG FROID. I learned that this is pronounced San frwa’. The definition is coolness and composure especially in trying circumstances. A good place to remember this term would be when you have a bad temper boiling inside you, when you have to give a speech, or when you ask the bank for a loan.EGUE is pronounced seg’ way and means a smooth transi-tion. In a conversation, topics sometimes flow from one idea to another in a logical manner. Most of the new topics begin with “that reminds me of…” Potential authors are taught to segue from one paragraph to the next. SERENDIPITY is another of my favorite words. You go on a search for something and stumble across something else that is more significant. You could call this a surprise delight. Maybe you’re looking for something in your junk drawer and discover an object that you thought you’d lost.CLOSURE is an important word. Perhaps you’ve held a grudge or ill feelings about someone. If you just forget about this, or better still, talk to the person and settle this in your mind, then you can move on through life with fewer nega-tive feelings. It might also describe finally finishing that quilt you’ve been making for so long or completing your Christ-mas shopping list. That gives a great feeling of relief.VALID means “It works. It is true.” There are some truths that can’t be escaped. If you smoke, you increase your chanc-es of having lung cancer. If you don’t wear your seatbelt in your car, you could be seriously injured or killed in a wreck. If you have a bad temper and don’t control it, chances are, your child will have the same bad characteristic.SYNERGISM is a great word which means working to-gether and getting more done in a shorter time than if there was individual effort. Picture making up a bed by yourself with clean sheets. Now picture two people on opposite sides of the bed putting on clean sheets. You’ve eliminated lots of walking back and forth and saved time and effort. When I was a student at Western Carolina College, there was a blind girl and a girl in a wheelchair. They became good friends and went everywhere together. The blind girl pushed her friend’s wheelchair, and the other girl told her where to go. They could not have functioned without each other. When all of us help each other, we get more done.FOCUS is a word we were familiar with as we used cam-eras with film. There was a mechanism that we turned until the subject was sharp and well-defined. While doing this, we weren’t involved with any other task—just focusing. Some-times we are proud of being multi-taskers, but it’s also im-portant to be able to focus on one thing and tune everything else out. SIGODLIN is a mountain word that I had forgotten about until I had a mild case of Covid a few years ago. While re-covering by relaxing in my recliner, I had a little folding table beside me that had one leg shorter than the others. When I put something onto the tipsy table, in my stupor, I said out loud, “This table is sigodlin.” I had forgotten all about that wonderful word. Another good mountain phrase is CATTY SLAUNCHWISE, meaning not straight up and down.SESQUIPEDALIAN, a lover of big words. Enough said. needs to foster creativity and critical thinking through educa-tional play and STEAM learning for all ages.Jane Simpson, Davie Community FoundationLarry Colbourne, Mebane Charitable Foundation To the editor:If you feel you don’t have a reason or words to thank God; open your heart to God’s blessings surrounding you.Daily, we receive God’s good blessings. The Bible tells us to be thankful for everything. Read Psalms 100. It is joyful and filled with God’s care and goodness to His children.As you send cards during this Holy Season, encourage them to hold first to its teachings.The Pilgrims came to America to have the freedom to wor-ship God. They settled America leaning on God’s Word for wisdom, leadership and comfort. As you delight in Pslams 100, add your own spirit of Thanksgiving, prescious family, blessed churches, and thank God for America, Israel and other countries that love free-dom. Let’s make every day a Thanksgiving Day.Violet Cain, Mocksville Make every day a day of thanks I run this town.You may have seen that on the t-shirt of Dr. Francis Slate on the front page. It was made several years ago at a bicycle race in town - right before the Mocksville mayor, well into his 90s at the time - hopped on an oversized tricycle for a silly ride, to the delight of those in attendance.That t-shirt was right.He ran this town. But in a good way.Dr. Slate didn’t rule with an iron fist, making demands at every turn. In fact, if he ever even made a demand, I didn’t hear about it. He was more of a suggestion type of guy, the type of office holder (The word politician just doesn’t seem right here.) who genuinely looked at all sides of an issue before making a deci-sion. And his decisions were always based on what he - after careful deliberation - thought were best for the town. And he was usually right.He was a calm leader. He was someone any town employee could go to with a concern without fear of repercussions. The good employees went to him often, seeking advice.That’s how he ran this town.- Mike Barnhardt Dr. Slate really did ‘run this town,’ but in a good way DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024 - 3 ADVANCE FAMILY DENTAL DR.

Jackson Barrett, a junior at Davie Hig, was a pan- elist at The Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Chi- cago. He participated in two panel discussions with the future generation of car enthusiasts. The panels included 13 participants, all under 25, with topics ranging from how they became interested in cars to what cars they own and what they aspire to own. The discussions were moderated by journalist and TV personality Matt Avery of Mecum Auctions. Jackson talked with other attendees including TV personali- ties Courtney Hansen (Ride of Your Life) and Chris Jacobs (Overhaulin’), and legendary drag racer Arnie “The Farmer” Beswick about their passion for racing and car building. Jackson is a local teen drag racer as well as host of Lucky_Jack_Racing on YouTube where he documents his project cars. He is the pres- ident of Davie High’s SkillsUSA chapter and War Ea- gle Motorsports. DCHS’s car expert Mocksville Mayor Will Marklin awards the Ambassador of Respect award to Girl Scouts Clara Parsley, Iris Marion and Ruby Marion. Emma Grace Snow receives her award. Casey Cao accepts the respect award. Respect ... The second aspect of their mission is the restoration of these girls and their families. When Casey Cao joined the club as a sophomore, there were only 4-5 students that regularly came to the Monday meetings. Casey had not really planned on getting involved, but she is so glad she did. Under her leadership, along with founder Robert Bailey, the club has grown to 40-50 reg-ular participants. They recently held a suc-cessful bake sale where they raised $375 and they are planning a fundraiser with the Soaring Eagles Fashion show, which Heroes of Hope is hosting. Casey’s person-al goal for this fundraiser is $1,000.Another service project that several members will be involved in is “Opera-tion Christmas Child.” Club members are working along-side Samaritan’s Purse vol-unteers to make Christmas Shoeboxes for children in need.“The entire project that is House of Hope/Heroes of Hope is so important to me and the club members be-cause we are actually mak-ing a difference in the lives of other human beings. This isn’t a metaphorical, ‘we are changing lives’, we are and strive to change lives for the better. I am so grateful to be surrounded by a bunch of like-minded optimistic peo-ple who truly want to help others, like members of the Davie Respect Initiative. To change lives is to change the world.” Without a doubt Casey is making a difference in Davie County and beyond.

At the “Bermuda Run Ex-press Train Depot,” the con-ductor will call “all aboard” as the Express is ready to chug around the Town Square. The train is suitable for children and adults.

It was its first individual tournament of the year. The War Eagles rolled up 218.5 points to beat the runner-up by 54. Morehead scored 164.5, Southeast 119.5, Dudley 113.5, West David-son 105.5, East Wilkes 104.5, Oak Grove 79.5, North Davidson 78.5, West Wilkes 64.5, Nation Ford 47, East Davidson 42, Northern Guil-ford 35.5 and Mt. Airy 31.5. Aiden Szewczyk went 4-0 at 126 in ruthless fashion. The sophomore’s record was 6-0 after three pins and a tech fall. “Aidan has dealt with some stuff this year - some injuries and skin stuff,” coach Josh Stanley said. “He’s been chomping at the bit. I’m excited for him.”Cayden Glass, a 11-0 senior who was a state runner-up last year, did what he was supposed to at 132, going 4-0 with two pins, a tech fall and a decision. The decision in the finals came against a state runner-up in 3-A last year. “We knew (the Dudley wrestler) was going to be tough,” Stanley said. “Cayden can beat anybody. (The Dudley guy) lost in the last seconds or he would’ve been a state champ. Cayden put the kid on his back. Cayden has a hard time finding guys who can take him to deep water every day in (practice). He spends a lot of time trying to help other guys and bring them along.”Davie has three unbeatens, in-cluding senior heavyweight Ryder Strickland, who pinned twice before decisioning in the finals to lift his season record to 10-0. “Ryder is su-per explosive; he’s just got to believe in himself,” Stanley said. “We’ve just got him to pull the trigger (like he does in the practice room).”Junior Jamarius Pelote’s three straight pins at 165 registered as a “whoa” moment. “He is getting better every day,” Stanley said. “He can hold his own muscle-wise out there. He is trying hard; he has committed to it.”Junior Elliott Gould was fantas-tic, too. At 150, he went pin, major, tech to bump his record to 9-1. “Elliott is believing more and more every day,” Stanley said. “(His one loss was) to a really good opponent in a close match.” Davie got substantial contribu-tions from Maddox Creason (4-1 with four pins at 190), Graylan An-derson (4-2 at 106), Tiaj Thao (3-1 with two pins and a tech at 138), Brett Foster (3-1 at 144), Jack Bost (3-2 at 120) and Stephen Jacobs (2-1 with two pins at 113). Thao’s loss in the finals was to a legit opponent. “T lost to a guy who was a state champion as a freshman and a run-ner-up as a sophomore,” Stanley said. “It was a good experience for us.”Going 2-2 were Leighton Reavis (120), Carter Hoots (144), Jaden Dillard (157), Davis Jones (157) and Walker Matthews (215). Stanley carried 21 guys and got one win from Dominic Ishuin (106), Garrett Whitaker (126), Ethan Gentry (138) and Ajuis Patterson (285). Mickey’s barrage buries Central for 3-0 boys Wrestlers gobble up competition By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Emmie Burris might have a flashy nickname - she’s known as “Big Bucket Burris” - but she has a modest personality. The sophomore is perfectly content being in the shadows, but this year the spotlight is on her whether she likes it or not. Now if coach Lindsey Adams can only get Burris to embrace it.She displayed a cat burglar’s touch in two games last week, scor-ing 28 points on 12-of-17 shooting as Davie’s varsity girls basketball team defeated North Iredell and Central Davidson. Now if Adams can only get Burris to shoot more. “She has the potential, but she always wants somebody else to do it,” Adams said. “She doesn’t like being the star of the show. She’s OK being a role player. As long as the team is winning, she’s fine with it.”Davie 68, N. Iredell 18The War Eagles were infinitely better than rebuilding North Iredell at home Nov. 26. After opening the season with a loss to Alexander Central, they evened their record by demolishing a North team that beat Davie by 12 last year. It was 15-0 before the Raiders got on the board, with Davie getting ear-ly points from Avarie Martin, Burris, Gracie Shore and Vivian Vaughters. North scored after missing its first eight shots, and the running clock (40-point lead) began at the 3:10 mark of the third quarter. Burris drilled 7 of 9 field goals to put up 18 points. Martin had 10 points and four steals. Bailey Aderhold, Madison Daugherty and Shore had eight points apiece, while Makenzie Gentry and Olivia Smith had six each. “We have so many offensive threats that you never know whose night it is going to be,” Adams said. “Most teams are dialed in on Avarie and they don’t even know who Emmie is, and she’s been our Burris shows shooting touch in 2 wins leading scorer for two games. We have players coming off the bench who could be starters on about any team, and it’s still hard for me to decide who I want to start. “Olivia came off the bench and gave us a huge spark in the second quarter.”To Adams, the best part of the night was Davie holding North to 15-percent shooting (6-38). By con-trast, Davie shot 48 percent (26-54). “We’re really dialing in big on team defense,” she said. “Vivian may not have the most points, but I think she has the most important job. Her job is to contain the other team’s best player. Emmie and Makenzie gave us a big spark. They are our interceptors. Their job is to read and react.”Davie 49, C. Davidson 40The visiting War Eagles didn’t have much trouble handling Cen-tral on Nov. 29, but Adams was not happy that they let an inferior opponent hang around longer than it should have. “We played terrible,” she said. “I don’t know if it was the days off, but we’ve had days off before. I don’t really know what it was. We did not play well together.”Londyn McDowell took over during a stretch that resulted in a 22-11 lead. She converted inside off a pass from Shore. She scored off a feed from Vaughters. She took an inbounds pass from Burris and scored. McDowell finished with 10 points on 5-of-8 shooting and added seven rebounds. “Londyn started in the first two games, but she went in a slump,” Adams said. “She came out of it when others were not producing.” By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The best news from the Davie varsity boys basketball team’s 22-point win at Central Davidson was Bryson Mickey’s second-half shooting barrage - not that “Mickey can get blazing hot” constitutes news. Three days earlier, the War Ea-gles beat visiting North Iredell with predictable ease, 76-52. Coach Josh Pittman was not interested in a 40-point win. It was a prime op-portunity to empty the bench early and often. “I’m not the type to try to run up the score on somebody,” Pittman said. “We played everybody in the first half. It was an opportunity for kids to play and get better in game situations. Playing everybody was more important to me than trying to run the score up.” Davie placed four guys in double figures: Mickey (13 points, five assists, four steals), Ethan Driver (13 points, four assists, four steals), Landon King (11 points) and Jack-son Powers (11 points). King was perfect from the floor, going 4 for 4 overall and 2 for 2 from 3-point range. “Landon’s practice energy is what dictates his game energy, and he’s put together some good practic-es,” Pittman said. Hot-shooting Davie made 30 of 61 shots, getting seven points from Adam Brown, six from Isaac Swish-er and five points and six rebounds from Elliott Erlandsson. Pittman was ready to turn the page to the stiffer competition that awaited his club. “I’m ready to play somebody that does not play zone the whole game,” he said. Davie 66, C. Davidson 44Davie held a 22-21 halftime lead after an unremarkable first half, but everything came together in the sec-ond half as the War Eagles doubled their output with 44 second-half points on Nov. 29. In the third quarter, Mickey ex-ploded from 3-point territory, hitting three treys. When Mickey wasn’t ripping the nets, he was setting up teammates. He assisted 3s by Brown and Powers. When Swisher scored on a stickback, Davie had a 43-30 lead after going 5 of 7 from deep in the third. A 24-11 run turned a 21-19 deficit into a comfortable lead. Mickey, who hit 7 of 12 shots overall and 6 of 9 3s, finished with 20 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals. “He got going,” Pittman said. “It’s been a while since that rim has opened up for him like that, and I was happy for him. He’s been a complete point guard.”Erlandsson shot 4 for 5 to score eight. King collected eight points, five rebounds and three assists. Powers peppered the stat sheet with six points, seven rebounds, four blocks and three assists. Cam Owens chipped in six points. “On offense, we just had to make the extra pass and look for each other,” Pittman said. “We adjusted well and we defended well. Landon played well. Asher (Tolbert) did some positive things. His shots did not fall, but he’s starting to find his groove. Jackson was solid. They played defense to shut down the lane, and it was hard to get an inside presence when they’ve got three guys in the paint.”Even though Davie improved to 3-0, Pittman still sees plenty of room for improvement. “We are getting there,” he said. “It’s a process.” Please See Barrage - Page B5 Please See Wins - Page B4 A North Iredell player fouls freshman Gracyn Coleman on a shot attempt.

The college season is down to the conference championship games so there were fewer games to pick from this week. We even added a couple of N.C. high school playoff games to the mix AND a couple of FCS Playoff games to keep you on your toes. For football fans, last weekend was fun. Several games were played in the snow which added a festive atmosphere and some wild plays too. Some of the local universities have shown their head coaches the door recently as Mack Brown at UNC, Shawn Clark at App State, Biff Poggi at Charlotte, and Mike Houston at East Carolina have all been fired this season. In the NFL the Carolina Panthers have played well the past few games and Bryce Young is improving. The team and their QB look more relaxed and the defense has stepped up too. In their last 2 games they lost a thriller to Kansas City and a 26-23 overtime heartbreaker to Tampa Bay.

The Tigers (4-6) bolted to a quick 15-point lead as Jared Vaughters provided an eight-point spark in the first quarter. “I took all five starters out toward the end of the first quarter,” Ellis coach Roger Blalock said. “I was fairly upset. I bet in the first quarter we missed 10 straight layups. I’m talking about easy (layups). We just could not hit anything. It was horrible. I was concerned.”The visiting Jaguars would finally find their groove and remain unbeaten. Mason Driver keyed a 20-10 run in the second quarter that lifted The South Davie girls basketball team stunned El-lis 28-22 on Nov. 7, but the Jaguars turned it up a notch in the Nov. 25 rematch at South. Ellis, which is 6-3 with a three-game winning streak, raced to a big lead in the first quarter and coasted to a 34-17 victory that kept its good vibes going. Kinsley Harbour, with eight quick points, was the biggest reason for the 14-2 lead at the end of the first. She finished with three 3-pointers and 11 points, giving her 43 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record When the teams met on Halloween, South Davie’s wrestling team pulled out a 55-54 nailbiter over Ellis. The Jaguars’ response in the Nov. 25 rematch was a sight to behold. They chewed through visiting South to the tune of 76-27. How impres-sive is that? Ellis turned in nine pins: Elmer Salas (157), Vincent Clements (165), Colby Mason (175), Henry Butler (215), Jaxon Gay (83), Ayden Davis (113), Jaleel Collins (138), Riley McAndrew (144) and Connor McNeil (150). Then there were tech falls from Austin Eggers (98) and Jason Moxley (126). “Elmer was not there the Ellis storms past South; North wins shocker Ellis in front 27-26. Jordan Crowley led a 19-point third that extended Ellis’ lead to 46-36. The 9-0 Jags kept pulling ahead in the fourth. “We started playing like we’re supposed to,” Blalock said. “We started pressing and getting turnovers.”Driver, who is averaging 15 points across three games, led Ellis with 17 points and four assists. Crowley was next with 11 points to go with four assists. Cam James (nine points, 11 rebounds) and Bowman Blakley (eight points, 15 rebounds) helped Ellis reach its longest winning streak in seven years. “Henry (Migliarese) was sick, so Jordan started and he had a bunch of assists and played good defense,” Blalock said. The top scorers for South were Anderson Branham (10), Colson Dulin (10) and Vaughters (eight). This is the Jaguars’ lon-gest winning streak since it went 9-0 in 2017-18, when they were led by Za’haree Maddox, Alex Summers and Tate Carney. North 37, Moor 28North Davie took a con-siderable step forward at Mooresville on Nov. 25. Be-hind another stellar perfor-mance from Nolan Allen, the Wildcats pulled off a 25-point swing from the first meeting, when Mooresville beat them 55-39. North built a 17-4 halftime lead and then held on. “Got a big win,” coach Ca-leb Davis said. “We watched film of our first game and were able to make some adjustments defensively and hold them to four first-half points.”The Red Imps used a furi-ous rally to cut North’s lead to one in the fourth. Wade Ridenhour, though, was ready for the moment. Four days after drilling a clutch 3 in a win over South Davie, he hit another 3 at money time to put North ahead by four. Allen finished with 22 points by hitting 10 of 11 free throws. It was nothing new for a guy who has delivered 20-plus on six occasions. Ridenhour had six points. Jeremiah Hernandez had four points and three assists. Levi Morales had three points and six rebounds. Glen Greene had two points and seven re-bounds as North (5-5) won for the third time in four games. “Nolan took control when we needed it, and Wade hit a dagger 3 to put the nail in the coffin,” Davis said. “One of (Allen’s) strongest attributes is his ability to stay calm under pressure. Other teams throw everything at him de- fensively, and he rarely allows his emotions to escalate.”Ellis 62 - Mason Driver 17, Jordan Crowley 11, Cam James 9, Bowman Blakley 8, Graham Weaver 6, Wade Hefner 4, Peyton Fishel 4, Ben Bost 3.

I bumped up my 106-pounder (Ayden Davis) and he pinned at 113. That was a little bit of a change. “Henry is making 215 now, so that puts him and Brodie (Newman) both in the lineup, which is amazing. Henry and Brodie were both in the same weight class at that time (Oct. 31) because Henry was around 220. Henry is a stud at 215 and I doubt anybody gets close to six minutes with (Newman).”Gay, Clements, Butler and Newman, who received a forfeit, remained unbeaten for Ellis (4-3). “Jaxon has had two pins in about 30 seconds. He has gone back to the basics,” Murphy said. “(Collins’ pin) was a swing our way because they won that one the first time.”But no one had a bigger win than Eggers. South’s Rico Evans came in with one loss in two years, including two pins over Eggers earlier this season. “We won some matches that we really did not an-ticipate winning,” Murphy said. “Eggers beating Rico was a big one. He attacked him and almost pinned him. That’s the best I’ve ever seen him wrestle. Austin didn’t have anything to lose, and he wrestled smart.”The winners for South (5-4) were Colten Beck (pin at 106), John Meija (pin at 120) and Kaden Howell (decision at 90). Ellis forfeited at 132 and 190. Moor 51, North 47 Mooresville thumped North Davie 66-41 on Nov. 7, but North gave the visiting Red Imps all they could han-dle on Nov. 25. Coach Jamey Holt got pins from Hailey Thao (76), Chris Gonzalez (98), Skyler Nunley (126), Sawyer Hall (144), Peyton Jordan (175), Karson Nunn (190) and Ma-son Sheppard, who bumped up to heavyweight. Brennen Mason added a tech fall at 90 as North lost by a razor-thin margin despite forfeiting three weight classes. “We had them sweating a little,” Holt said after short-handed North fell to 1-6. “Losing (by pin in one match) hurt us, especially after we were up 12-2 going into the third period.” Ellis girls get payback B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024 Continued From Page B1While Davie was less than stellar, it did answer every Central charge. It was 26-22 in Davie’s favor before Mar-tin drove for two. It was 32-29 before McDowell scored in the paint on a pass from Smith. The Spartans nailed 4 of 7 3-pointers to cut Davie’s lead to 34-32, but a three-point play by Aderhold kept Davie in control. Davie all but put Central (0-2) away with a 6-0 run to open the fourth. Vaughters found Burris, who finished inside with her left hand. Burris pulled up and sank a 15-footer. Martin attacked and scored off the glass. Gentry ran a fast break and dished to McDowell, who made it 45-36. Davie improved to 2-1 despite going 1 of 15 from the 3-point line. Burris matched McDowell with 10 points by draining 5 of 8 field goals. She also grabbed six rebounds. Martin Wins ...

Central sophomore Car-son Hulsizer tormented AC with 37 points, but he wasn’t nearly as successful against Davie. “I said: ‘If we drop that 37 to 14 or 15, we win by 20,’” Pittman said. “We held him to 12 and ended up winning by 22.

To VIEW Photos & ORDER PRINTS visit: mlewisphotography.smugmug.com Barrage ,,, By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Draeton Nance put on a show in the Davie JV boys basketball team’s first test of the year. Before the War Eagles rose to 3-0, they hardly broke a sweat in a 72-21 home win over North Iredell on Nov. 26. It was the sec-ond breezy outing after Da-vie opened with a 43-point win over Alexander Central. Eight different War Ea-gles put up points during a 24-3 first quarter, and 13 guys wound up in the scor-ing column. No one was better than Aiden Horton, who drained 6 of 7 shots on the way to a team-high 12 points. Nance had 11. Noah Dulin and William Martin had seven each. Davie 66, C. Davidson 56The game at Central Da-vidson on Nov. 29 was a major step up in class, the Spartans holding a 22-game winning streak when Davie invaded their gym. Davie’s foul trouble compounded things. Cen-tral led 13-10 at the end of the first quarter and 23-19 at halftime. “We stayed in foul trou-ble pretty much the en-tire game,” coach Brandon Thalasinos said. “We battled through adversity and we battled through foul trouble. It was a really good test for us.” Nance scores 33 in tough JV win Central scored the first three points of the fourth to take a 47-44 lead. Davie had its hands full, but Nance’s magnificent second half made the win possible. After Nance drilled a 3-pointer, he assisted an inside bucket by Horton. Dulin grabbed a Central miss and threw an outlet to his brother Nance, who buried a 3. Martin drove and converted a reverse layup. Horton stole an in-bounds pass and scored. Dulin drained an 18-footer. Dulin snatched a defensive rebound and threw ahead to Nance, who beat everybody down the floor and laid it in. Then Nance capped the 20-9 run with his sixth triple of the day. Nance played like a dream, scoring 27 of his 33 points in the second half and shooting 11 of 17 overall and 6 of 9 from deep. It was the most points by a Davie JV male in 155 games, or nine years. Coleman Sell had 35 in a 70-66 loss at Reynolds in 2015-16. “Draeton played phe-nomenal,” Thalasinos said. “There’s no hesitation, there’s no fear. He has 100 percent faith in his shot, and we needed every one of his buckets today.”Horton was second with nine points. Martin contrib-uted seven points and seven rebounds as Davie handed Central its first home loss since December of 2022. “We did what we needed to do,” Thalasinos said. “It was a really good environ-ment. They have a really good basketball program, but we stayed calm, played our game and found a way to win.”The coach said Wyatt Harwood, Jayce Bentley, Cam Knox, Justin Haggler, Carter Cornett, Aiden Hous-er and Weston Barefoot deserve credit for doing little things that added up throughout the game. “Wyatt came in and did things that might not nec-essarily show up in the stat line,” he said. “Justin got four big rebounds. Carter came off the bench and played big. Aiden played tough, bully ball under the boards. Weston only played about two minutes, but he gave Drae a chance to sit down when he got his fourth foul.”Davie 72, N.
