A Mocksville family lost all of their belongings in a house fire on Friday evening, Dec. 13.A teen-age girl first noticed the fire and ran to neighbors to call for help.A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the family, who in ad-dition to their everyday belongings, lost all of their Christmas pres-ents as well.“The home we loved, the place where we created family memo-ries and were preparing for a memorable Christmas, is now a total
loss and is gone,” Christina Kent wrote for the GoFundMe page.In spite of their material needs now, the family remains thankful that everyone is safe, she wrote.“We are humbled and truly grateful for the greatest gift of all, and that is the gift of life and the safety of our family because we are still alive. “Together, we can overcome this tragedy and be stronger than ever. With your help we can rebuild our lives and create new memo-ries,” she said.

Cooleemee Cares
Thirty years ago, Judy Webb thought it would be a
good idea to have a Christmas party for the senior cit-
izens from the area. Last Saturday, the annual event
filled the VFW building. Above, Wayne Seamon, com-
mander of the Cooleemee-Mocksville VFW, has some
fun with Judy, and with Helen Queen, another long-time
volunteer. Below right, Judy cuts a rug with Santa; while
below left, Joe Crotts from the Davie Sheriff’s Office and
emcee for the day, presents Judy with a robe covered
with designs of money - in recognition of all of the fund-
raisers she has held for local people and causes. Judy
told the crowd that her health is declining, and she will no
longer be able to organize the event. See more photos

The Literary Corner:
Renegade Writer’s GuildLuke 2:1-20In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own town to register.So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room avail-able for them.And there were shepherds living out in the fields near-by, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host ap-peared with the angel, praising God and saying,“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.•Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.•Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; be-cause there was no room for them in the inn.•Isaiah 7:14Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Be-hold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.•John 1:14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.•Luke 2:11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Sav-iour, which is Christ the Lord.•Luke 1:26-38And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth ...•Luke 2:21And when eight days were accomplished for the cir-cumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.•Matthew 2:1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,• Galatians 4:4But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law ...

Early MemoriesBy Marie CraigMy great granddaughter is five years old, and this has prompted me to think back and try to remember my ear-liest memory. I surely hope that she is old enough to re-member some of the special events and projects that we have shared. When she was here recently, we created a lot of paper projects: cutting, folding, and embellishing. The floor was full of trimmings and discards. I taught her how to use my embossing tools. She enjoyed creating these subtle paper texture pictures, and she took her projects home to show the rest of the family. Early memories: I have a wonderful old snapshot of my dad’s entire family. There are fourteen of us lined up at someone’s house in Statesville. Detective skills show that it is wintertime because of no leaves on the trees. It was probably at Christmas. We six cousins are lined up in front, three little ones in front of the three older ones. I am the oldest of the three youngest. The oldest cousin is attempting to hold me by the shoulders in place for the picture. Even though I was about three years old, I still remember that event because I was stating, in body lan-guage, “Turn me loose. I can stand here all by myself.” I have studied that photo so many times and thought how great that someone took the initiative to borrow a Brownie camera, have a neighbor to take the picture so that everybody could be in the photo, and then take the film to the drug store for them to send it off, develop the film, and print the pictures. What a different time we live in now. I think about the people in the photograph: my grand-parents who have been deceased for a long time, my two uncles and their wives, my parents, and three of the cousins who are no longer with us. That leaves only three people living from the fourteen. My family of three were living in Black Mountain and all the rest were still in Statesville. It was during World War Two, and the family of four were temporarily living in Virginia where he worked for a fac-tory making airplanes for the war effort. My other uncle was a guard at a munitions storage facility in Charlotte, and he is wearing his uniform. My dad worked at a furni-ture factory that made office equipment for the war effort. All of this detail has been known as an adult, but not re-alized as a young child. We are all smiling, but I’m sure there were lots of worries and anguish. Other old memories are riding the bus from Black Mountain to Asheville and the train from home to States-ville because it was difficult to have a car during the war because of tires being sent to Europe for war vehicles. I also have an old newspaper clipping of me as a toddler pretending to buy a stuffed animal as a gift at Christmas. Once you open up your mind, a lot of old memories come flooding in that you had forgotten. What are your earliest memories? The PriceBy Gaye HootsOver the past few years, I have observed a pattern of courts dismissing and reducing charges and avoiding ac-tive sentencing. This may be to reduce the cost of incarcer-ation for taxpayers, and the pattern seems the same across political parties and all the judges. I am citing recent ex-amples and if you look at the court records up in any coun-ty more cases are dismissed for prosecuting witnesses who do not choose to testify or fail to appear to testify than are tried. Most of the cases that were tried have charges reduced to lesser charges. In searching several weeks of court records an active sentence of 120 days was the longest, and that was for possession of a stolen vehicle, reduced to unauthorized use, and possession of cocaine reduced to possession of drug paraphernalia.Many of those charged with DWIs and possession of drugs were referred for substance assessments and treat-ment which sounds helpful, but unless the person being assessed is honest about their use this won’t progress be-yond the evaluation. I did many of these as a mental health nurse and I remember one elderly lady who came in with bruises from falls and reports of relatives who found her passed out in her home. All she would admit to drinking was a glass of wine per day. I asked about the size of the glass, 8 oz. she reported and denied emptying the glass until bedtime. After a few days, she admitted to topping off the glass frequently, so she never emptied it. One of the saddest memories I have is of a young man, in good health who was alcoholic. I could not motivate him and told him that if he continued, he was going to die, He replied, “I know, Gaye, but it's not like I have anything to live for, anyway.”If someone is honest and qualifies for help the choices are limited unless they have private insurance. I know a few years ago in Davie there were only a few hours of counseling available per week through mental health and those hours were not scheduled. They saw people on a first-come basis, and they had to wait outside the door for the office to open the first 3 or 4 got appointments while the others were told to come another day to wait in line again. Even when insurance and treatment are available the success rate is low. My granddaughter completed 3 inpatient programs and other outpatient programs, and we did everything we could do, but we lost her within 24 hours of her return home after 6 months of treatment in California, we had chosen to distance her from her con-tacts.I was impressed that one young offender with an open alcohol container was given probation but had to do a substance program and 10 hours of community service. Years ago, I was in court because of a speeding ticket and a judge found a 16 year old guilty of speeding. He asked if her parents were in court, and they weren’t, he asked if
they gave her the money to pay the fine, and she replied she worked at a part-time job; and had not told her parents about the charges. The judge asked for the lowest grade on her last report card, a C. He told her that if she raised it one letter grade, he would waive the fine and set a return court date. I thought that was a genius idea.I hope there is a more severe sentence for repeat of-fenders, but the key, I believe, is more funding for better treatment of mental health and substance problems. There appear to be fewer available treatments now than there were 20 years ago when I worked in the system. I would like to see parents, schools, churches, and communities get behind this and lobby for and contribute to this cause. The younger a person is when the problem is acknowledged the better the chances of success and there are some suc-cess stories. I remember a young woman I would never have guessed had a background of substance use and deal-ing while a young mother. Her husband was a dealer and was shot in front of her. She served a couple of years and credited her time in jail which resulted in her subsequent recovery for saving her life.Today drugs are rampant in prisons. If we could keep them out and provide treatment through the prison system this would be money well spent. I also believe releasing those who complete their sentences without a support sys-tem and a way to support themselves is setting them up for failure, but while taxpayers accept paying the high cost of incarceration, we do not look at spending money to make the changes to prevent some of the incarcerations. Recid-ivism is extremely high and often results in great harm to others. The Gift, the LessonBy Julie Terry CartnerSmoothing down her blue dress, Jessie nervously slipped on her sandals and prepared to disembark from the airplane. She and her sister, Willa, had been so sure that this was a good idea, but now, faced with the results of that decision, she wasn’t as sure. Too late now, she thought, and hoped fervently the cargo in baggage check would be okay.She smiled as she walked down the aisle. She and Wil-la had debated about her clothing, but had chosen wisely, knowing the blue dress would catch his eye and distract him, hopefully long enough for her to check out the claim area.Walking across the tarmac, she saw him peering through the airport’s windows, and, smiling happily, she increased her pace. Before long she was through the door and in his arms. Hugs from Dad were infrequent, as was the kiss he bestowed on her forehead. Dad had grown up in a loving but reserved family, so embraces from him were all the more special. “Welcome home, Little One,” he said. “I’ve missed you.” He then pulled away and looked her over. “Wow,” he said, “I sent a little girl off to visit her big sister, and,” looking at her with astonishment, “I got a young lady back. You look so grown up my Jessie Bug.” Wrinkling her freckled nose at the baby nickname, but beaming at the warm welcome, Jessie scanned the large room. The blue dress distraction had been a success. Suit-cases revolving along the carousel didn’t garner her atten-tion, but it didn’t matter, Dad had already snagged her lug-gage. “Ready?” he asked. “Your mom is more than ready to see her baby.”Jessie grimaced at the baby reference, but she let it go as she had already spied what she’d been looking for. “Be-fore we go, Dad, I need to show you something.” Taking his hand, she led him to a small crate against the far wall. “Look,” she said.Inside, with her coal black nose sniffing through the crate’s wire door was a curly haired mop of a dog. Deep brown eyes, perky brown ears, and twitching whiskers enhanced the mischievous face. “A Wire Hair!” Dad ex-claimed. She looks just like our old Ginger. She was such a good dog,” he said, as Jessie had known he would. He al-ways did. Dad had loved that dog, and she’d had no inter-est in anyone but him. Jessie hoped desperately that would be the case again.“Thanks for showing her to me, Jes; now we’d bet-ter get going,” dad said, even as he reached out a finger to tickle the pup’s nose. Jessie was sure he was unaware of the longing look in his eyes. Here goes nothing, she thought. Their last dog, Mac, a collie, had been her dog. He had died while she’d been visiting her sister, and she just wasn’t ready for another to call her own. But Dad loved dogs, and she knew the house would seem empty without a canine companion.Clearing her throat a bit nervously, Jessie reached into her handbag and pulled out a leash. “The thing is, Dad, I wasn’t just showing her to you, Willa and I bought her for you. Merry Christmas,” she added as she handed him the leash. We’ve been calling her Ginger, but you can name her whatever you want.”“Ginger,” Dad breathed, unable to process what he was hearing. “But you said you didn’t want another dog…” he said, pausing, “…after Mac.”“I don’t,” Jessie replied, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have one. Mac was mine. Ginger is yours.” Then, smiling through misty eyes, she said, “Come on, Dad, let’s take your pup home.”As they headed out of the terminal, hand in hand, Jessie wiped away the last of her tears. At fourteen, she’d fully learned a life lesson. Unselfish giving was genuinely a gift in itself. She’d never, ever forget her dad’s eyes when he realized she and her sister had bought him a dog – his fa-vorite breed, not hers. The gift was truly for him, and he knew and understood the significance. His “baby” girl had just taken another step towards adulthood. Giving is far greater than receiving.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through Trump landThe people rejoiced, things are so grand.The signs had been placed by the roadside with care,In hopes that voters would soon drive by there.The faithful were nestled, all snug in their beds,Whiles visions of border walls danced in their heads.And mamma in her PJs and I in my MAGA cap,Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.When out on the lawn there arose such a clatterI sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.Away to the window I flew like a flashTore open the shutters and threw up the sash.The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snowNo more global warming stealing the show.Then what to my bloodshot eyes should appear,Then a big black pickup truck, coming so near.A parade in Advance, always so much candyAnd there they came, all dressed like dandies.Dark coats and glasses, oh what a cast,Characters so sordid, I ran so fast.There was a little ole’ driver, so lively and quickI couldn’t see, but was it St. Nick?Who were they by his side, so serious and grimCounty commissioners, by golly, I recognize him!And up on the top, just dancin’ aroundWas an orange-faced man, maybe a clown.No, that’s the President, someone exclaimed,On top of his head, you can’t forget that mane.Is that Ronnie or Donald or even JDIt doesn’t matter, he’ll pardon you and me.The reindeer aren’t there, they all ran in fearThey heard the word venison and said not this year.We’re draining the North Pole, of all of this nonsenseAnd bringing back greatness, in all of its contents.
The liberals, they held their children real closeWe can’t believe that people, liked him the most.A narcissist, a criminal, a fraud and a liar, Democracy is dead, I fear the pending mire.Just look at his cabinet, what a bunch of crooksBut the faithful will like them, without a second look.They’ll burn and plunder, all of our rightsUntil we think like them, oh what a sight.Our country will change, forever damagedBy a man whose own businesses, he can’t even manage.He’s rude and mean, with one thought of mindYou’ll like me or I’ll degrade, all of your kind.
But what’s that I hear, way up on the roofIt sounds like prancing and pawing, of each little hoof.It’s Santa’s reindeer, they really do existDemocrats, Republicans, or maybe a mix.As I drew my head, and was turning around,Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.He wasn’t Red and he wasn’t BlueHe had a sack of presents, for me and you.He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,Soon gave me to know, I had nothing to dread.Politics aside, he shouted out loudAll Americans should be so proud.And he filled the stockings, Dems and GOP tooWe’re in this together, me and you.And laying a finger on the side of his nose,And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.But I heared him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.”- Mike Barnhardt

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Dec. 19, 2024 - 7
By KC SmithCooleemee Correspondent
The Ole Time Christmas Parade and celebration came back to town while many en-joyed the festivities. Christmas candy was flying all over the street as children scampered around to grab what they could. En-tries in the parade were filled with smiles and joyfulness as they gifted handfuls of candy to the visitors. The Cooleemee Histor-ical Association organized the event which included a fudge contest with 13 entries. Kathy Cook was surprised she won because she had nev-er made fudge before.Folks from The Bridge Church on Main Street hand-ed out hot cocoa, candy and more. Their involvement in any events in Cooleemee al-ways make a huge difference and are greatly appreciated.Pastor Justin Blue read the Christmas story from the Bible. The CHA made a lot of people happy by providing two fire pits to help warm up from the brisk cold air. Women of the community baked homemade cakes that were sliced up for each per-son in line. A fresh cedar tree was cut and placed next to Mr. and Mrs. Claus which added to the ole-time feel of Christ-mas. Cedar trees were com-monly cut down in the woods to supply families with a Christmas tree. Cooleemee’s First Baptist Church choir sang carols and it was wonderful to have a group of people spreading the joy of Christmas.A big thank you to the CHA for bringing back a tra-dition that many have missed. Several people stated they didn’t know Cooleemee had anything like this gathering and they were sure to be back next year. Feel free to contact me at www.cooleemee-news@gmail.com or call 336.250.1133. I would love to hear from you.

Members of the N.C. Harp Ensemble - Alyssa Hall, Apsara Koneswaran, Grace Wepner Ludtke, and Kristen Bruce Young - will perform their “Sounds of Angels” holiday concert on Saturday, Dec. 21 at 4 p.m. at Mocks Church in Advance.Ludtke was featured in “Our State” magazine as a "passionate performer - a harpist with heart." She has performed as soloist, cham-ber musician, and orchestral musician throughout North America and Europe. She serves on the artistic teams of the American Harp Acad-emy and N.C. Harp Ensem-ble at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem.Hall is a harpist and edu-cator in Greensboro. She is on the music faculty at Meth-odist University in Fayette-ville, and at Snyder Music
Academy, where she teaches harp, piano, and voice.Koneswaran, at age 7, was introduced to the harp. It towered over her, intimi-dated her, and awed her. And when she played the strings, the sounds enchanted her. She knew then that she want-ed to study the instrument.Praised as "outstanding" by the Cultural Voice of North Carolina, harpist Kris-ten Young has been featured in performances around the world.“Just imagine, four harp-ists performing together on one stage,” said pastor Rog-er Clayburn. “Join us for a heavenly holiday concert. This will be the first of its kind for Davie County and is sure to make your holiday season so much brighter.”The concert is hosted by Mocks Church, 523 Beau-champ Road, Advance.

Davie’s swim teams captured 21 of 24 events, produced 12 per-sonal-best times and destroyed East Forsyth and Glenn in a tri-meet on Dec. 13. “This was a great meet for our swimmers coming off three weeks without a meet due to Thanksgiving and pool availability,” coach Tak Hirata said. “Their hard work during the practice is starting to pay off, and many are getting into mid-season form nicely. Our top swimmers com-peted well and secured first places in quite a few of the events, and others who don’t always get to showcase their hard work and talent showed us what they’re capable of finishing top three in many of their events.”The Davie girls had 125 points to East’s 97 and Glenn’s 16. Indi-vidually, the biggest winner was Sarah Rajacich, who won the 50 free at 27.40 and the 100 butterfly
Davie’s wrestling team kicked East Forsyth in the teeth, 62-13, in Kernersville on Dec. 12. Graylan Anderson, Jack Bost, Carter Hoots, Elliott Gould, Jamar-ius Pelote and Maddox Creason got pins, while Aidan Szewczyk, Cayden Glass and Tiaj Thao had tech falls. East forfeited two weight classes as Davie (12-1 overall) im-proved to 2-0 in the CPC. Two days later, the War Eagles finished second among 10 teams in the Foard Tough tournament at Foard High. The team scoring: Hough 259, Davie 220, Foard 154, Athens Drive 103.5, East Mecklen-burg 89.5, Jack Britt 86.5, Lincoln-ton 78, East Rowan 72, East Burke 53.5, Bonnie Cone 9. This was Davie’s second individ-ual tourney of the season; it finished first in the North Davidson Gobbler. Ryder Strickland (285), Thao

(138) and Szewczyk (126) had mas-terful performances, each going 3-0 to take first place in their respective weight classes. Strickland (18-0), who rolled up three pins, and Szew-czyk (15-0) are still riding high with spotless records. Finishing second for Davie were Bost (2-1 at 120), Glass (2-1 at 132), Brett Foster (2-1 at 144), Pelote (2-1 at 165) and Stephen Jacobs (1-1 at 113). Glass was 19-0 before taking his first loss, the defeat coming in overtime. Davie had 10 top-three efforts, including third-place showings from Gould (3-1 at 150) and Creason (3-1 with three pins at 190). Davie put 20 guys on the mat. Anderson (106) and Walker Mat-thews (215) both went 3-2. Dominic Ishuin (106) and Davis Jones (157) went 2-2. Hoots (144) and Jaden Dillard (157) were 1-2.

Nobody is chicken-counting this early in the CPC race, but the Davie varsity girls basketball team was feeling awfully good when it left Kernersville on Friday night. The War Eagles, who are seeking their first championship since 2003, are 2-0 in the CPC for just the second time in 29 years. At 5-2 overall, they are off to their best start in 10 years. (The 2014-15 team also started 5-2, 2-0.)“That was definitely a ‘cham-pionship’ game tonight,” coach Lindsey Adams said after key win at East Forsyth. Davie 59, Reagan 23In the league opener at home on Dec. 10, Davie played hellacious defense in a 36-point decimation of the Raiders, who shot 19 percent (9 of 46) and committed 30 turnovers. The War Eagles delivered a quick knockout. They scored on a Gracie Shore-to-Bailey Aderhold fast break. Aderhold drained a pair of 3-pointers, both assisted by Shore. Shore had a steal/layup. Londyn McDowell scored inside. Madison Daugherty drilled Davie’s third 3 of the first quarter as the War Eagles burst to a 17-4 lead. Avarie Martin went 7 for 7 from the line and scored a season-high 17 points - her sixth game in double figure in as many tries. McDowell matched her season high with 10 points. Aderhold had 10 points, five steals, four rebounds and two assists. Shore filled up the stat sheet with eight points, eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocks. Makenzie Gentry contributed eight points. Olivia Smith didn’t score but provided four assists and four rebounds. Even though Davie crushed

Reagan (4-3) after losing 10 of the previous 11 meetings, Adams wasn’t completely satisfied with the performance. “We are going to have to toughen up because I think Reagan outre-bounded us in one quarter,” she said. “I was pretty (upset) about that. I said: ‘If y’all can’t box out Reagan, you sure as heck are not boxing out East Forsyth.’”An injury put a damper on the win. Vivian Vaughters, the defensive demon, pulled a hamstring less than two minutes into the game and was helped off the court by assistant coach Debbie Evans. “I think she pulled her hamstring or had a slight tear,” Adams said. “It did not tear completely, but she in-jured it pretty good. We’re looking at 2-3 weeks of her being out. We don’t want to rush it, it completely tear and then she would be out 6-8 weeks.”Davie 52, East 46East Forsyth rolled to a 12-1 lead in the first quarter in Kernersville on Dec. 13, but the War Eagles were unfazed. They righted the ship and pulled off a blockbuster win. “I think it will come down to us (Davie and East) to be the top team in the conference,” Adams said. East (3-3) hit 5 of its first 6 shots to build the 12-1 lead. After missing its first four shots, Shore got Davie’s first field goal with a driving layup. When McDowell hit a pair at the line, Davie had its first lead at 18-17. Lexi Mickey’s 2-for-2 foul shots capped the 25-9 run that gave Davie a 26-21 lead late in the first half. “I did not call a timeout (when it was 12-1) because calling a timeout with a group this young might have gotten in their head,” Adams said. “So I just let them play through it. Then we started chipping away one

Coach Josh Pittman played Jedi mind tricks with Jackson Powers with the Davie-East Forsyth game hanging in the balance. “I’m about to run a play for you,” Pittman told Powers. “You’re going to come off a screen, hit a 3 and then turn and scream at me.”That’s exactly how it went down with 3:36 remaining in Kernersville. Powers’ crunch-time bomb provided a four-point lead and Davie subdued East after losing seven of the previ-ous eight meetings. Davie 56, Reagan 55Davie’s varsity boys basketball team has been solid on the defen-sive end basically all season, but its offense was not up to snuff in the two games prior to a home date with Reagan in the CPC opener on Dec. 10. After scoring 35 and 48 points in the previous two games, the War Eagles exploded to a 16-5 lead in the first quarter. On Davie’s first shot of the night, Powers splashed a 3-ball. Davie’s second try was a successful trey by Asher Tolbert. Bryson Mickey buried a triple. On a fast break, Mickey lobbed an al-ley-oop to Elliott Erlandsson, who

slammed it so hard he nearly broke the rim. Then Davie’s fourth triple of the first, by Powers, produced the 16-5 lead. “The rim opened up a little bit for us and I was proud of them,” Pittman said. “We started with a lot of energy. We shot the ball better than we have in a long time.”And then: “(The alley-oop) was nice. I know we had not had an alley oop since I’ve been at Davie.”The Raiders (2-3) used a 9-2 run to get within 31-29. That’s when Landon King came through with a big play, scoring on a stickback, drawing a foul and hitting the free throw for a 34-29 advantage. Reagan made another push and took a 42-41 lead - Davie’s first deficit of the night. King threw a skip pass to the left wing to Ethan Driver, who sank his only 3 of the game at the perfect time. That shot ignited a 9-0 run that included an Erlandsson putback and a King 3. “It’s been hard for Ethan to get his rhythm back because he didn’t touch a basketball the whole fall,” Pittman said. “He was able to get some shots up on his own, but it was nothing like the workouts that we would do in previous years. He’s still trying to get in his comfort zone with the basketball, and that takes a
month or two in my opinion.”Davie kept Reagan at arm’s length by converting 7 of 10 free throws in the last :51. It was 54-52 at :06 when Powers went to the line. He made both to salt the game away. Reagan banked in a meaningless 3 at the buzzer. “I knew it was going to be a tough game,” Pittman said. “They were similar to us in returning a bunch of seniors. Monty (Gray) is a real good coach in my opinion, so I knew they were going to be ready to play. I felt like it was a really good win. We battled through adversity, played hard and came up big when we needed to.”Mickey (14 points, five assists) and Powers (13 points, five re-bounds, three steals) led the way. King (eight points) and Driver (six points, six rebounds) helped Davie defeat Reagan for the third time in a row. Another thing that helped was the “Syracuse Zone.”“We put it in during the walk-through,” he said. “We played it in the first quarter and it gave Reagan a lot of problems. We will keep work-ing on our rotations. I think with the way our conference is set up, if we can master that 2-3 zone, keep the

Continued From Page B1stop at a time.”In the fourth quarter, Mya Booth’s fifth triple of the game cut Davie’s lead to 43-40. “She had not hit a 3 all year up until they played us,” Adams said, shaking her head. But heroics by Gentry extended Davie’s winning streak to four. She went 2 for 2 from the line to match Davie’s biggest lead at 47-40. With Davie clinging to a 47-44 lead, Gentry drained a pair of free throws with 26 seconds remaining. On the ensuing possession, Gentry picked a ball handler’s pocket and dashed the other way for two that put the game out of reach at 51-44. “MaKenzie has ice in her veins,” Adams said. “She doesn’t care about much; she just wants to win the ballgame. She is just a gamer - whatever it takes to win. “We had two fouls to give and I looked at MaKenzie and said: ‘Gamble, go for the steal.’”Shore had a season-high 13 points while hitting 5 of 7 field goals. Martin (13 points, 10 rebounds) posted a dou-ble-double. Gentry provided 10 points, seven rebounds and four steals. McDowell had seven points and five boards. “A lot of good things hap-pened at the right times,” Adams said. The freshman point guard is getting better every day. “She’s got so much poten-
The CPC opener against visiting Reagan felt like the sun bursting through the clouds for Davie’s JV girls basketball team. After starting 0-3, includ-ing a 52-26 loss at Northern Guilford on Dec. 4, the War Eagles broke into the win column with a 24-12 deci-sion against the Raiders on Dec. 10.

“I am thankful we played like we needed to,” coach Lamar Russell said. “Praise the Lord, we got a win.”The War Eagles only man-aged seven points in the first half, but they made up for that with a big third quarter. Zuria Turner banged two 3-pointers and Kate Nicholson added one as Davie pounded Rea-gan 14-3 in the third, which
created a 21-8 lead. “I had (Turner) on the bench in the first half,” Rus-sell said. “But when she came in in the second half, she hit back-to-back 3s, and from there it was like: ‘Let’s go.’ She came off the bench and fired away. That’s what I’ve been asking them to do. Then we turned it on and started playing.”
Turner paced Davie with those six points. Davie got three each from Lucy Port-man, Sarenity Miller, Emily Cordova, Nicholson and Au-drina Bledsoe. “(Bledsoe) can play any-where on the floor,” Russell said. “Lucy has been another spark for us. She was a spark at Northern Guilford coming off the bench and I started her this game.”Davie 24, Reagan 12 - Zuria Turner 6, Lucy Portman 3, Sarenity Miller 3, Emily Cordova 3, Kate Nicholson 3, Audrina Bledsoe 3, Mabyn Morris 2, Zahmirah Sum-mers 1.

The Ellis, North Davie and South Davie wrestling teams staged a wild and wacky tri-meet at South on Dec. 10. Get this: North shredded Ellis. Ellis flexed against South. And South won a slugfest against North. That’s wild stuff. One day earlier, all three faced outside-the-county op-ponents. Ellis suffered its worst loss of the season, 72-34, at Mooresville. North slammed Selma Burke, 76-33, on the road. And South blistered visiting North Row-an 78-24. North 66, Ellis 39In the first matchup at South, the Wildcats put a beating on Ellis to avenge a 54-53 loss to the Jaguars on Dec. 5.

The Lady War Eagles took all three relays. The four-somes: Butler, McDaniel, Kayden Richardson and Ra-jacich in the 200 medley relay (2:12.97); Richardson, Olivia Dufur, Lily Wright and Addy Buchanan in the 200 free relay (2:04.45); and Rajacich, McDaniel, Buchanan and Butler in the 400 free relay (4:26.04). Meanwhile, the Davie boys won all 12 events and tallied 128 points, led by Zach Hirata’s victories in the 100 free (50.23) and 100 breast (1:10.99). Ethan Diemer (200 IM at 2:41.88), Alex York (50 free at 25.92) and Logan Zuleger (100 back at 1:03.45) added first places. East was second with 14 points, followed by Glenn with 11. “We challenged quite a few of them with unfamiliar and tougher events,” Hirata said. “Lily swam a 200 IM for the first time, Marion (Shelton) swam her first 100 breast and Caleb (McBride) in the 500 free. George (Crow-ley) also had a good couple of first-time swims. Sam (Sa-mara) had a very good meet with a couple of good drops; so did Brayden (Brooks). We’re proud of all of their hard work and happy for them that they were able to put together a great meet. This meet will help us build some confidence going into our mid-season focus meet (Robert Sawyer Invitational on Dec. 19), where we expect to see some amazing swims and more time drops.”The Davie girls were miss-ing star freshman Skylar Zuleger, who was competing in the Speedo Winter Junior Championships in Greens-boro.

Davie would rise to the challenge. Cam Owens at-tacked the cup and scored to give his team a 48-46 lead. Tolbert scored off the glass with his left hand to tie it at 50. Davie’s next field goal was the shot of the game. Up 51-50, Davie set a double screen for Powers at the top of the key and Mickey fed him

Noah Dulin and Draeton Nance were at it again when Davie’s JV boys basketball team tangled with Northern Guilford, the freshman broth-ers combing for 38 points. Against Central Davidson, they accounted for 41 of Davie’s 61. The War Eagles won both games to stay unbeaten. Davie 65, NG 53 Davie prevailed in a hard-fought game at Northern Guilford on Dec. 4. The War Eagles trailed 17-15 after the first quarter, but the Dulin/Nance tandem scored 17 of Davie’s 22 in the second quarter as Davie surged to a 37-30 halftime lead. The War Eagles took a 49-44 lead into the fourth, and they pulled away despite going 0 for 6 from the foul line in the final period. After scoring seven and six points in the previous two games, Dulin found his groove, scoring 23 on 10-of-18 shooting. Nance (15) converted 5 of 9 shots and hit double figures for the fourth time in as many games.“They’re a very good pro-gram,” coach Brandon Thala-sinos said of N. Guilford. “It was a gritty win. We had to win in a different way because we didn’t play our best game. We missed a lot of easy stuff, but that’s probably the best defense we’ve seen.”Aiden Horton a big factor with a season-high 13 points. “It’s probably the best team we’ve seen so far, es-pecially defensively,” Thala-sinos said. “We had to find a way to win, and we did.”Davie 61, C. Davidson 40Davie parlayed the N. Guilford momentum into a blowout home win over Cen-tral Davidson on Dec. 6. The first meeting was a struggle - Davie won 66-56 at Central a week earlier after trailing by three early in the fourth - but the Spartans (2-2) put up little resistance in the Davie gym. Nance set the stage for Da-vie’s fifth win by scoring 11 in the first quarter, which ended with Davie ahead 19-12. The spread would keep growing. Nance poured in 24 points to raise his average to 20. Dulin produced 17 points, four assists and lifted his scoring average to 15.6. “Drae and Noah got theirs, but as a team we rebounded very well and were able to
54 lead, East sent Tolbert to the line with six seconds to go. He hit one to nail down Davie’s sixth win in seven tries. “They’ve got 5-star (foot-ball) athletes on the court, so you’ve got to stay disciplined, do the best you can and make big shots,” Pittman said. “(6-8 junior JB Shabazz) has four Power 5 offers (in football). (6-4 junior Jai Richburg) has three or four Power 5 offers and (6-2 senior JP Gilchrist) has a couple of D-I and D-II offers. They are tough, man. (Richburg) tipped one in in the first half, and it looked like his head was near the rim.”Powers (12 points, seven rebounds) and Mickey (10 points, seven rebounds, four assists, three steals) were 1-2 again in scoring, but Davie also got important buckets from Tolbert (nine points, three assists) and Isaac Swisher (eight points, 4-of-6 shooting). It was a two-year
varsity high for Swisher, who came in averaging 2.1. Notes: This was only East’s second game because of its run to the fourth round of the football playoffs. ... Mickey played all 32 minutes at East. “On the road, you’ve got to go with your gut and try to get it done,” Pittman said. ... The Davie-East shooting numbers were nearly the same. Davie went 20 of 48 overall and 5-23 from 3. East shot 20 of 45, including 4-19 from 3.

force a lot of turnovers,” Thalasinos said. “We did a lot better job of staying out of foul trouble this game.”Horton (eight points, six rebounds) and William Mar-tin (six points, five rebounds) helped Davie’s dominance. “I’ve getting that energy whether I have my starting five in or if I have my first subs in,” Thalasinos said. “I don’t see much intensity drop off when I go to my bench.”Davie 55, Reagan 32Davie whipped an oppo-nent by 20-plus points for the fourth time in the CPC opener at home on Dec. 10. Horton and Dulin lifted the hosts to a 15-8 first-quar-ter lead and the Raiders never threatened. Horton finished with a season-high 16 on 7-of-11 shooting. Dulin also had 16, followed by Nance and Justin Haggler with nine each. Davie 64, East 51After a 28-28 first half, a 15-4 run in the third laid the foundation for a win at East Forsyth on Dec. 13. At 7-0 overall and 2-0 in the CPC, Davie is riding its longest winning streak in five years. Before Dulin spearheaded the decisive run in the third, Davie got a big boost from Cam Knox, who scored eight of his nine points in the sec-ond after entering with a 1.3 average through six games. Knox’s work helped Davie erase a 15-10 deficit and tie things up at halftime. Nance had 16 points with four 3-pointers, four steals and four assists. Dulin scored 15 on 8-of-13 shooting and added five steals and two blocked shots. Horton had 11 points and William Martin six points, six rebounds and two blocks. “We had two mismatch-es that worked out for us,” Thalasinos said. “William had
a mismatch on him. It wasn’t so much him scoring, but he was able to box out and get a lot of rebounds. Aiden had a mismatch on him and we were able to get that working for us.”Nance (17.8) and Dulin (15.5) hold the top scoring averages, but Horton (10.5) has grabbed our attention after averaging 3.9 last year as a freshman. This year he’s cracked double figures four times, three more than he did a year ago. “I’m super proud and hap-py for Aiden,” Thalasinos said. “We’ve talked about using his size more and stop just relying on his outside jumpshot. His jumpshot is phenomenal, but he has size and does not mind contact. He can drive in the paint and make a lot of things happen. He has taken that to heart.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (Luke 2:11-14)
