In Mocksville, one of those leaders has been identified as Lynn Trivette, finance director and assistant town manager/town clerk. She has expertly managed the town's finances, supported strategic plan-ning efforts, and upheld the principles of efficient governance, said Ken Gamble, who retired as town manager at the end of 2024.Now, Trivette will take on an even greater responsibility as she assumes the position of interim town manager. “Managing a town’s finances is more than balancing budgets; it’s about ensuring long-term stability and growth,” said Trivette. Her responsibilities will encompass not only financial and administrative oversight but also broader leadership for the town.The dual role already includes planning, coordinating, and di-recting all aspects of the town’s financial management while also bridging administrative excellence with strategic vision.

Lynn's proven record of leadership in the town and her knowledge of town finances will keep us moving in a positive direction. I appreci-ate her willingness to serve in this capacity.”“Both the board and I are thrilled to have Lynn serve as interim manager, Gamble said. “Lynn brings a wealth of experience, knowl-edge, and common sense to the position and is no stranger to serving in the role.

Storehouse mission continues Col. J.D. HodgesBy Linda H. BarnetteOne of the most interesting people that I have read about in Davie County was Col. or Prof. J. D. Hodges. Born on Oct. 11, 1844, he went on to become one of our county’s most outstanding citizens. During the Civil War, he was a Confederate soldier who served bravely under J.E B. Stuart. He was captured, sent to Point Lookout on the Maryland Shore, and eventually released and walked all the way back home. One source said that when he ap-peared at his home on a hot June day in 1865, it was as though he had risen from the dead.Later, upon hearing a speech by Braxton Craven, the founder of Trinity College, now Duke University, Hodg-es decided to pursue his dream of education. Af-ter receiving his degree, Hodges set out to make a name for himself in the field of education. So for several years he taught languages at Trinity. An earlier tour of the Continent made him proficient in several languages, enabling him to teach Greek, French, and German.After this experience, Hodges spent the rest of his life in education, much of it in Davie County. He founded a boarding school, Augusta Seminary, just down the road from Concord Methodist Church on Cherry Hill Road. Many students studied there over the years. Later he was also the superintendent of schools in Davie County. Born at Oak Hill Plantation, he spent most of his life in the same general area of Davie County. His father was John Wells Hodges, and his mother was Mary Magdalene Click Hodges. He eventually got around to marriage when he was 52 years old. His wife, Sallie Augusta Thompson, was much younger, and they had 6 children.His academy, which I remember seeing years ago, is now a private home. He is buried at Concord Methodist Church just across from his school on land given to the Methodist Church by his father. Col. Hodges died on Jan. 4, 1936. The inscription on his gravestone reads as fol-lows:“In memory of Brigadier General Daniel Hodges of North Carolina Division United Confederate Veterans and Professor at Trinity College. He fought the battles of his beloved Southland under Robert E. Lee and J. E. B Stuart and when he laid down the sword, he fought for seventy years the unending battle of education and enlightenment against the powers of ignorance and untruth.”To clarify, the title of Brigadier General was given by the North Carolina members of the Confederate survivors group.My Hartley grandparents lived just a few miles down the road from the Hodges, and my grandmother was a member of the first Home Extension Club in our county. Mama had a pump organ, and she always “invited” me to play hymns when she had ladies visiting her home. I remember meeting Mrs. Hodges, who was very short. As a young teen I was taller than she.Another interesting fact about Col. Hodges is that when the Wisconsin Historical Society in 1888 exhumed the body of Marshal Ney, one of Napoleon’s generals who supposedly escaped the firing squad in France and came to America and taught school in Davie, Iredell, and Row-an counties. Prof. Hodges was a witness to the marks of identification on Ney’s body, including a silver plate in his skull from a wound in Leipzig. However, history has not supported this finding. Silent ThiefBy: E. BishopOne of my previous writings was about our senses and how important each one is to our well being. At the time, I was experiencing hearing loss but thankfully that has been corrected with aids. As you get older many physical prob-lems can sneak up on you. Some are not so subtle, but some are downright stealthy. Such is the case with glauco-ma, sometimes called the “silent thief of sight” because it slowly damages the eyes and can cause irreparable harm before there is any vision loss noticed. With medical in-formation taken from my many visits to Duke Eye Center as well as garnered from the National Eye Institute (NIH), the following is a synopsis of my recent journey in eye care. It all started with a routine eye exam with no perceived problems. However, after a comprehensive dilated eye exam, a problem with eye pressure was noticed; a referral to Duke Eye Center was in order. I had no obvious symp-toms that I was aware of but soon found out that damage was already taking place due to undetected glaucoma of which there are several types.Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damage the optic nerve, a cable at the back of each eye that connects it to the brain. The NIH estimates that this affects more than 2.7 million people in the United States. There are many forms of the disease, but primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common form and the most mysterious. Age is a clear risk factor, along with a family history of the disease, but no single cause has been determined. POAG is the type of glaucoma I have. Initial treatment began with pressure reducing eye drops, then laser treatment later followed by a trabeculec-tomy, a surgical procedure to create a new way for fluid to drain from the eye. The surgeon creates a flap in the white part of the eye, called the sclera, which is a new pathway for fluid to drain thereby reducing eye pressure. For me, this was an out-patient procedure which required restric-tions for awhile along with continued eye drops and eye pressure monitoring. Unfortunately, scar tissue formed in the surgical site, the pressure continued to be at unacceptable levels and vi-sion was decreasing to legally blind status due to a grow-ing cataract being present also. In the meantime, I had to be monitored for retinal inflammation as well. The retina cleared up; but another surgery was still necessary.Cataracts are cloudy areas in the lens of your eye. The lens is behind the colored part of your eye (iris). Its job is to focus light onto the back of your eye. In some people, cataracts prevent light from reaching the back of the eye. This causes vision problems. Cataract surgery helps you see better. It replaces your natural lens, which has become cloudy, with a clear artificial one. Tube shunt surgery may be needed after medication, laser treatment and trabeculectomy have failed to reduce eye pressure due to glaucoma. This is an implant surgery where a small tube is carefully inserted into the front chamber of the eye, just in front of the iris. Fluid drains through the tube, into the area around the back end of the implant. Fluid collects here and is reabsorbed by the body.Recently, I had these two procedures (tube/cataract) done during one surgical out-patient visit. That was a long day; but at the same time, I’m so thankful that mod-ern medicine continues to make strides in helping us be healthier. Issues with corneal swelling started creating blurry vision but with patience, I was told this would im-prove; I should have near normal vision in the future. I’m waiting for that day! Of course, eye pressure monitoring is still necessary.The reason for sharing this journey is to bring aware-ness to the silent thief that glaucoma is. January is Na-tional Glaucoma Awareness Month. Learn about it, spread awareness, share information, schedule a dilated compre-hensive eye exam. Sight is one of those precious senses to be grateful for; take care of it. I like beer. A lot.I blame - no, make that thank - Jimmy Carter.The best man who has ever held the office of Presidency of this country in my lifetime died last week. He lived a life we should all emulate. It was a life filled with love.A devout Christian, he didn’t hide his love for the Lord. He didn’t ram it down your throat, either. He showed that love by example. It sort of worked during his Presidency; but it worked brilliantly afterwards. His ratings among Pres-idents is low. His post-Presidential ratings are high.Yes, he was a Southern Baptist. We all know what that means. Yet he managed to successfully negotiate with peo-ple of different faiths, even called many of them friends. He recognized their faith as legitimate while not going back-wards on his own beliefs. That’s a rare trait, one that earned the respect of people sitting across from him at the table. And after his Presidency, that trait earned him respect from just about everyone on the planet.A devoted husband, he loved his wife and showed it at every chance imaginable. They were often seen holding hands. A goodbye kiss was common. You could tell he gen-uinely respected her opinion. There wasn’t even a hint that he would cheat on his beloved Rosalynn. Or was there? One of Carter’s faults - if you could call it a fault - was that he was brutally honest. He almost didn’t win the 1976 Presi-dential election because of an interview with Playboy maga-zine that turned to the subject of sex. Carter admitted he had lusted after other women, saying he had committed adultery in his heart. Those Southern Baptist Evangelical Christians - of which he was one - turned away in droves. That interview was quite interesting, with Carter supplying Bible quotes to back his opinion that he could be forgiven for his thoughts, and that no man should look down on another who does commit such sins.Jimmy Carter loved his family. He turned away from his own aspirations to return to the family farm to keep it run-ning.Jimmy Carter loved his community. He lived there most of his days, taught a lifetime of Sunday schools there and considered himself as just another resident doing what they could to help the family and community succeed.Jimmy Carter loved his state. He even became governor of Georgia. He loved The Allman Brothers (from Georgia). He loved the Atlanta Braves (And yes, he ate peanuts while watching the action.) He loved everything Georgia.Jimmy Carter loved his country. He served in the mili-tary, and truly wanted what was best for America.Jimmy Carter loved the world. He loved all people, even the broken and misguided ones.Yes, Jimmy Carter lived a life we should all emulate.His presidency wasn’t the greatest, some his own doings, and some that could have happened under anyone’s watch. But he did his best with integrity.My first presidential vote was cast for Jimmy Carter, and I still don’t regret it. Barely 18, I proudly cast my ballot (paper only back then) for Jimmy Carter. Not that I thought that Gerald Ford would have done a terrible job, he was a good guy, too. But Jimmy Carter was a true southerner. He talked like us. He was a farmer. He was a Washington out-sider. He liked The Allman Brothers (That my have been the clincher in my 18-year-old brain.) and the Atlanta Braves (case closed).And he had this brother named Billy. Most southern fam-ilies have at least one brother like Billy (It’s probably me in my family.). Billy wasn’t afraid to speak his mind, and when the cameras came to rural Plains, Ga. during his brother’s run for President, he got plenty of chances. Usually, he had a beer in his hand. A “Billy Beer” was even marketed, and I saved an unopened six-pack for good measure (It was lost long ago.). The beer was about as good as historians rated his brother’s Presidency.But between the two, they started that lifetime love of beer. And I still look for candidates - party affiliation aside - who are honest and fair.Thanks, Jimmy Carter. And Billy, too.- Mike Barnhardt Jimmy Carter led to a life of loving beer DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025 - 3Dateline Fundraisers Saturday, Jan. 11Community breakfast, Farming Methodist, 7-10 a.m., 1939 Farmington Rd., Mocksville.

Tabor on Friday, is starting to fulfill coach Josh Pitt-man’s vision. “I think we’re finally starting to believe that we are a really good team when we play the way we’re supposed to play, we’re disciplined and we follow the scout and the game plan,” he said after Davie retained a share of first place in the CPC and knocked Tabor into a tie for third. “They’re starting to under-stand that we can beat and compete with anybody.”Davie won three of four games between Dec. 27-Jan. 3. The first three were in the eight-team Sheetz Holiday Christmas Classic at South-west Guilford. SWG 70, Davie 68 In the first round of the tour-nament, Pittman was mad as you-know-what about a timeout that was granted to Southwest Guilford, and then he watched his team suffer a bitter loss. The Cowboys had a 67-65 lead with 25 seconds remaining. They mishandled a pass right as the of-ficial granted the coach a timeout. “I thought we got dealt a bad hand with the timeout,” Pittman said. “The refs are human and they Boys pass sticky test; tied for first make mistakes just like everybody else. That was at a tough moment when we had just made a shot. But we looked at the film and we learned from it.”While Southwest improved to 5-3 with its fourth straight win, Davie’s four-game winning streak was halted. The game was close from start to finish. The second defeat of the sea-son spoiled a career night for Elliott Erlandsson, who played like a man possessed. He scored 22 points on 10-of-11 shooting and blocked two shots. Before this outburst - the most points by a War Eagle all season - Erlandsson’s season high was 11 and his three-year varsity high was 15. What’s more, this was the begin-ning of a nice development. After averaging 7.3 points in the first eight games, the 6-5 senior has averaged 14 in the last four. “Elliott has been playing really good basketball,” Pittman said. “It clicked for him when I started (Isaac) Swisher a couple of games. It clicked that he needed to lock in and focus. It just had to click, and here lately, he’s been playing lights out. He texts me every day asking what he can do to get better. I just love the way he’s playing- the energy, he’s playing hard, he’s playing aggres-sive, with confidence. He makes us a better team.”Please See Test - Page B5 By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record Want to hear something amaz-ing? Davie’s wrestling team watched Isaac O’Toole pound out three pins at Mooresville, and that was the first varsity action the freshman has seen all year. That’s how deep Josh Stanley’s practice room is. He’s bringing dudes off the bench and plugging them in whenever they’re needed. “He’s a really good wrestler,” the coach said of O’Toole. “I said: ‘Be-lieve in our belief in you.’ He’s going to be a huge part of us. He gutted it out; it was really cool to see.”The War Eagles are 13-1 as a dual team, they’re stomping everybody in the CPC and they’ve finished first, second, fifth and second in tournaments. That’s all the more im-pressive when you consider they’ve been shorthanded all season. Aidan Szewczyk has been out with an inju-ry since Dec. 14, missing the Reagan match and the last two tournaments, and we’re talking about a guy who is 15-0 at 126. “Aidan’s got some sort of knee issue going on,” Stanley said. “I’m hoping in a couple weeks he’ll be back.”•••Davie finished fifth out of 42 teams in the Tiger Holiday Classic at Chapel Hill on Dec. 27-28.

Davie hung with the big dogs even though it had voids at 113, 175 and 215. The top finishers were seniors Cayden Glass and Ryder Strickland and junior Andy Davis, all of whom placed third in their respective weight classes. Strickland went 5-1 at heavyweight, while Glass (132) and Davis (144) both went 4-1. Next for Davie was junior Elliott Gould, who went 6-2 on the way to fourth at 150. Senior Brett Foster went 5-2 at 138. Freshman Graylan Anderson and sophomore Jack Bost went 3-2 at 106 and 120, respectively. Going 2-2 were junior Jamarius Pelote (165) and sophomore Walker Mat-thews (190). •••Davie almost went stride for stride with Piedmont in the fourth-annual Gavin Sharpe Invi-tational at Mooresville on Jan. 4.

The four games between Dec. 27-Jan. 3: won, lost, won, lost. The home game against CPC rival Mt. Tabor on Jan. 3 was the biggest of the season thus far. Da-vie came up short, but it’s not time to panic - there’s a five-way tie for first place. The week began with Davie, Reagan, East Forsyth, Tabor and West Forsyth all at 2-1 in the league. Davie 45, NWC 23Northwest Cabarrus showed up for the eight-team Sheetz Holiday Christmas Classic with a six-game winning streak, and Northwest held a 13-12 lead at the end of the first quarter. But Davie completely suffocated the Trojans from the second quarter on, outscoring them 33-10 over 24 minutes. Londyn McDowell led the way with 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting. Emmie Burris had 11 points and three steals. Makenzie Gentry and Avarie Martin had nine points apiece. Gracie Shore collected four points, five assists and five steals as Davie dropped Northwest’s record to 7-2. The tournament was held at Southwest Guilford on Dec. 27, 28, 30. Wesleyan 54, Davie 45The War Eagles came out strong in the semifinals, building a 19-14 first-quarter lead against a Wesleyan Christian Academy squad that had won 11 of 13 games. The Trojans, though, controlled the rest of the game and knocked Davie to the consolation side of the bracket. Martin had 13 team-high points in defeat. Shore had 10 points and six rebounds. Gentry had nine points, four steals and three assists. Bailey Aderhold had five points and six boards. And Burris had two points and five assists.

Southwest Guilford led 37-36 heading into the fourth, but Aderhold, Martin, Mc-Dowell, Shore and Gentry took turns scoring in a fourth quarter that saw Davie out-score the Cowgirls (7-3) 17-11. Davie’s top scorers for the game were Martin (13), Aderhold (10), Shore (10) and Madison Daugherty (nine). Tabor 53, Davie 50This CPC clash at Davie on Jan. 3 was a doozy. The biggest lead for either team in the fourth quarter was four, and the game wasn’t decided until Davie missed a 3 as the clock hit zeroes. The Spartans jumped out to 8-0 and 10-3 leads, but Da-vie withstood the punch and quickly made it a tense game. Davie fought back with a 23-9 run. Martin scored inside before the sophomore banged a 3. Aderhold drilled back-to-back triples. Gentry threw long to Vivian Vaughters for a fast break layup and McDow-ell scored in the paint. Martin, who had 10 of the 23 during the run, went inside for two, then made a 15-footer. In the second half, Davie’s biggest lead was 35-31 when Vaughters hit a free throw. Tabor’s largest lead in the final 16 minutes was the final margin. When Shore passed inside to Martin for two, Davie led 37-35.

But our swim-mers were better conditioned and we knew that if we were in a close race, anything be-yond a 50, we were going to win that race.”The War Eagles finished first and second or 1-2-3 in eight events.

By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s JV boys basket-ball team is unbeaten no longer, losing to Mt. Tabor by four, but it looks like the War Eagles could benefit from the experience because they met Tabor a week later and beat the Spartans by three. “We worked hard all week trying to correct things that went wrong when we played (Tabor) in the Christmas tournament,” coach Brandon Thalasinos said. “We used that as a motivator to get better this week.”Davie 71, Walkertown 26In the first round of the Winston-Salem Prep Christ-mas Tournament on Dec. 26, Davie obliterated Walk-ertown. Noah Dulin (12 points), William Martin (10), Ian Patton (10), Carter Cornett (10) and Aiden Horton (10) all scored in double figures as Davie registered its third win by 40-plus. Tabor 66, Davie 62 One day later in the semi-finals, two unbeatens squared off at Prep. The War Eagles had Tabor on the ropes at halftime, 49-35, but they hit a wall in the second half and lost for the first time in 10 games.

Upcoming Games Dulin pours in 30 in JV’s revenge led 49-35 at intermission, but everything went wrong in the second half. Dulin anad Mar-tin fouled out and Nance and Cornett ended the game with four personals each as Davie was whistled for 26 fouls, compared to Tabor’s eight. Davie was led by Dulin (20 points), Horton (17) and Nance (13). Unfortunately for Davie, Horton and Nance did all of their scoring in the first half. “We had way too many turnovers and we let them get too many offensive re-bounds,” Thalasinos said. Davie 64, Reagan 42The War Eagles came back with a vengeance while playing its third game in three days. They pulled away in the fourth quarter and recorded its seventh victory by 21-plus points. The Raiders were within striking distance, 41-35, at the end of the third. But Davie hit 10 of 11 free throws and outscored Reagan 23-7 in the final period. Nance, Horton, Martin and Dulin provided the fourth-quarter offense in a consolation game that was held at Carver. Nance drilled four 3s, went 5 for 5 at the line and finished with 25 points. Also scoring in double figures were Dulin (14), Martin (11) and Horton (10). Davie 61, Tabor 58 In a home CPC game on Jan. 3, the War Eagles got sweet revenge behind a dazzling performance from Dulin. He scored 18 of his 30 points in the third, and Davie needed every bit of that fire-power in order to overcome a 24-12 halftime deficit. The Spartans, who carried a 9-0 record into the contest, scored 18 of the 20 points in the second quarter to put Davie’s back against the wall. “We had so much focus on: ‘We’ve got to come back and win this,’” Thalasinos said. “I said: ‘We don’t have to focus on that as much as we just need to focus on playing our basketball. If we do the things that we do well, then we will see a positive outcome.’”Dulin’s third-quarter bar-rage included seven buckets and three free throws. The freshman created a 28-13 run that lifted Davie in front 40-37. Dulin, who only had five points at halftime, finished with a season high by hitting 12 of 20 field goals. He also controlled eight rebounds. Nance contributed 13 points and Martin helped the cause with eight points and six boards. “We did what we do really well (in the third quarter), which is apply pressure, cre-ate turnovers and score in transition,” Thalasinos said. “In the fourth quarter, we played great defense. “(Dulin) was getting a lot of stuff off our pressure and off of transition. He was either creating the turnover or he was the outlet guy once the turnover was created. A couple of times he was able to drive right to the rim. He had a couple of pull-up jumpers. We were able to drive and kick out to him a couple of times. He was firing on all cylinders in the third quarter.”The 49-point second half raised Davie’s shiny records to 11-1 overall and 3-0 in the CPC. “Those kids play hard and they play together, so I’m proud of them,” varsity coach Josh Pittman said. “I think Coach T is doing a heck of a job.”Davie 71, Walkertown 26 - Noah Dulin 12, William Martin 10, Ian Patton 10, Car-ter Cornett 10, Aiden Horton 10, Draeton Nance 7, Cam Knox 5, Palmer Thomason 4, Justin Haggler 3.

Tabor responded with six unanswered points, but Shore assisted Martin’s 12-footer to pull Davie within 51-50 with 46 seconds remaining. Davie forced back-to-back turnovers and got possession at :19. A shot wouldn’t fall and Davie had to foul at :07. The Spartan made both free throws for the 53-50 spread and coach Lindsey Adams called timeout to draw up the final play. The inbounds pass went to Martin, who passed to Shore, who passed to Gentry. Aderhold sprinted to the right corner and Gentry found her. The execution of going the length of the floor in seven seconds was outstanding, but the 3-point shot didn’t fall in a close-shave outcome. The Spartans rely on Shay-miah Bailey to carry them, but Davie held the 6-foot senior in check in the first half. But after entering halftime with two points, Bailey was superb in a 20-point second half. Last year she averaged 16.1 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and won CPC Player of the Year. Martin did her part with 17 points. Davie got a big boost from Daugherty, who came in averaging 2.7 points. The sophomore had her-self a night, hitting 4 of 6 3-point tries and scoring a season-high 14. Aderhold had six points. Vaughters, who had missed five games with an injury, returned with five points and five steals. McDowell had four points. Shore compiled three points, 11 rebounds and six assists. While Davie slipped to 7-5 and dropped its fifth straight in the series, it was a thrilling moment for the Spartans, who arrived in Mocksville with a 2-7 record and a three-game losing streak. They lost 44-26 to East Forsyth, which lost 52-46 to Davie. Notes: This was a rematch of the 2024 CPC Tournament final when Tabor mashed Da-vie 66-43. ... Playing its first game in 17 days, the Davie JV girls fell 45-30 to Tabor. The loss left Davie’s records at 2-5 overall and 2-1 in the CPC.

I’m proud of all of our swim-mers and all of them playing a role in getting the win. We continued to have some big drops in time, and we expect the trend to continue going into a big meet against West Forsyth and Reynolds this week, as well as the upcoming conference championship.” War Eagle swim teams dominate N.

When Cayden got down to 126, T was able to get to his real spot.”Davie’s other champion was Strickland, who went 3-0 with two pins at 285. With a 27-1 record, it’s routine at this point, right? Davis, Gould and Pelote all went 2-1 for second place. Glass and Foster went 3-1 for third. The losses for Davis and Glass came against fierce competition. Davis lost in the finals to a guy who fin-ished second in the state last year. In the semifinals, Glass lost by major decision to an incredible sophomore, Cape Fear’s Tye Johnson, who like Glass finished second in the state last year. “Cayden could have stayed at 132 and probably pinned through it, but he went down and wrestled one of the best guys in the state,” Stanley said. “He went down for the team. That’s great leadership. He went toe to toe with a kid that is a freak.”O’Toole came out of no-where and went 3-2 at 157 in his varsity debut. Stephen Ja-cobs (113), Garrett Whitaker (126), Maddox Creason (190) and Matthews (215) had 2-2 showings. Davie’s depth, especial-ly in the lower and middle weights, is awesome, but it can also be heartbreaking. Carter Hoots is a special freshman who has a 17-3 re-cord at 144. He moved down to 138 when Davis returned from injury, but Foster is also at 138. Right now the 138 starter is Foster, a senior who has a career record of 71-17. “That’s super tough be- cause of how Carter does and how he lives his life,” Stanley said. “He’s such a hard-working kid and we’re getting him all the reps we can. Those boys go at it in the room. Carter is everything that we want to see any kid be. He keeps everybody honest in there. He’s not going to let anybody have an easy day.” Depth ... Davie’s only undefeated wrestler is sophomore Aidan Szewczyk, who is 15-0 at 126. Unfortunately, he is nursing an injury right now. Junior Elliott Gould has built a 27-5 record at 150/157. At right, Graylan Anderson has contributed 18 wins as a freshman at 106. Ethan Gentry is a senior at 138. At right, Carter Hoots is a prize freshman at 138/144. He’s won 17 of 20 matches. - Photos by Ashley Bowden Walker Matthews holds firm control of this match. He regularly faces strong competition as a sophomore at 190 and 215. DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025 - B5 Continued From Page B1Bryson Mickey also played a starring role with 19 points. Jackson Powers had 12 points and eight rebounds. Ethan Driver had four points and six assists. Cam Owens did not score, but he handed out six assists. The Cowboys were blown out in the semifinals, losing 97-66 to Wesleyan Christian Academy. Davie 50, Olympic 38 After enduring South-west’s 58-percent shooting, the War Eagles got back to their defensive form in the two consolation rounds. Olympic entered with a sporty 10-1 record, but it retreated in the fourth quarter as Davie overcame a 12-7 deficit in the first and 3-for-20 shooting from 3-point range. Davie outscored the Tro-jans 16-6 in the fourth and won going away. Erlandsson made his presence known again with a team-high 13 points to go with five re-bounds. Driver (12 points, six rebounds) and Powers (11 points) also cracked double figures. Asher Tolbert con-tributed eight points, while Mickey racked up six points, 10 assists, four rebounds and four steals. Davie 64, W. Guilford 40Western Guilford was 8-3 heading into the final day of the tournament, but the Hor-nets found themselves on the wrong end of a butt-whoop-ing. The War Eagles came out with their hair on fire, bursting to a 23-10 lead while draining five 3s. Driver, Er-landsson and Tolbert keyed the quick start. The Hornets sliced a 34-15 halftime deficit to 44-35 at the end of the third, but Davie closed with authority as six different War Eagles scored during a 20-5 run in the fourth. The winning side placed three scorers in double fig-ures: Driver (15 points, five steals, four assists), Tolbert (14 points, eight rebounds) and Erlandsson (10 points, seven rebounds). Mickey dished out 10 assists for the second game in a row. The 2-1 tournament showing lifted Davie’s record to 9-2. “The two wins we got were against good teams and teams that were similar (to Mt. Tabor and West For-syth),” Pittman said. “All in all, I thought it was a great tournament and it was some great competition. Our non-conference schedule was a lot tougher than it was in previous years.”Davie 63, Tabor 59The War Eagles faced a sticky test in the CPC when they hosted Mt. Tabor on Jan. 3. The Spartans smacked West Forsyth 71-51 in the Frank Spencer final, rolled up 101 points in the next game and carried a five-game winning streak to Mocksville. But the War Eagles deliv-ered the kind of performance that Pittman was hoping for. They kept their composure and poise throughout and succeeded with a total team effort. Four guys scored at least nine; six guys scored at least six. That is Pittman’s secret sauce. “Every so often you’re going to have a guy branch out and get more (points), but when you’ve got four (in or close to double figures), it’s hard to deal with,” he said. “Like I always say, a good team can beat a good individual. Tabor is a really good team, but I think we’re a good team, too, and I think we showed that tonight.”Although Snook Peterkin and Tabor raced to a 14-5 lead in the first quarter, the War Eagles didn’t blink. Seven guys - Powers, Erlandsson, Landon King, Adam Brown, Tolbert, Swisher and Mickey - sank baskets during a 26-11 run that forced Tabor to play catch-up the rest of the night. After Peterkin, a spectacular athlete who has signed a foot-ball scholarship with Virginia Tech, scored seven effortless points in the first quarter, he managed just six over the last 24 minutes. “On a team that averages (67) points, we’ve got to slow down the leading scorer,” Pittman said. “I told them if we can keep Snook under 20, we would be in great shape. I was upset because he had seven in the first quarter. But then after that, we slowed him down a lot. We had to have low turnovers, we had to com-municate and our defensive IQ had to be on point. Mean-ing, if (Peterkin) has the ball or if anybody is penetrating, we’ve got to be in good help, we’ve got to dig on the ball and we’ve got to be active. And we did a heck of a job, especially from the second quarter on.”And then: “I know (Pe-terkin’s) had a couple of 30-point games. I watched the Frank Spencer game (against West Forsyth) and he had 33 of their 71. In my opinion, you can’t play ‘Mt. Tabor basketball’ against Mt. Tabor. Bryson did a heck of a job handling the pace.”Driver hit perhaps the game’s biggest shot. After Tabor rallied within 33-30, the junior wing nailed a tri-ple. Then King fed Driver for another 3. Powers took a pass from Mickey and drilled a 3. At that point, Davie was in command at 45-34. A Tabor mini-run pulled the Spartans within 56-49. Davie stayed in control by getting two free throws from Mickey and a 17-footer from Driver. When Erlandsson hit a free throw at 2:35 in the fourth, Davie was cruising at 61-49. “I thought in our zone we should have been a little more active, but it can’t be perfect all the time; the other team plays, too,” Pittman said. “But on the whole, we did a really good job of listening, playing for each other and taking care of the ball.”The Spartans’ last gasp saw them convert a pair of 3-balls to close the gap to 61-55 at 1:40. Davie wasn’t great at the line, but it hit enough foul shots - 6 of 10 in the fourth - to salt it away. “The only thing I was up-set about was the unnecessary gambling at times, where we would gamble and they’d make us pay for it with a 3 in the corner - when we didn’t have to because they were already struggling against our zone,” Pittman said. It was pretty much a dra-ma-free win because Davie continued to play as a team. Driver came through with 14 points, five rebounds and three assists. Powers had a typical line: 12 points, eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks. He only attempted six shots but made four of them. Erlandsson had an econom-ical 11 on 4-of-5 shooting. Mickey’s moxie as the floor general against Tabor’s full-court pressure - he had four assists to one turnover, not to mention nine points - was significant. Give credit to King (seven points) and Tol-bert (six points, five rebounds, two assists). “I like to shoot rhythm 3s,” Pittman said of Davie’s 7-for-18 performance from long range. “I tell them: ‘If you’re shooting a 3 off of one pass, you better be wide open.’ Because we make rhythm 3s a lot more and we look a lot better when we’re making those.”Notes: The CPC race is wide open. Davie and West entered the week 3-0, with Ta-bor and Reynolds tied at 2-1. “I think it’s an even league,” Pittman said. “On any given night, somebody can beat you. So we’ve got to keep two feet grounded and go game by game.” ... Davie improved to 10-2 overall, while Tabor slipped to 8-3. ... Driver, who averaged 4.8 points in the first seven games, has found a groove. His scoring has jumped to 12.6 the last five games. ... Tabor lost despite hitting 7 of 15 3s. ... Owens has missed the last three games with a wrist injury. ... Davie’s top four scorers are Powers (10.1), Mickey (10), Erlandsson (9.5) and Driver (8).

The purpose is to recruit, prepare and support future teachers who attend institutions of higher educa-tion in North Carolina.The award winners may attend any of the program’s 10 partner institutions pend-ing admission: Appalachian State University; East Car-olina University; Elon Uni-versity; Fayetteville State University; North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University; NC State University; Meredith Col-lege; University of North Carolina at Charlotte; Uni-versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and University of North Carolina at Pem-broke.In the early-decision win-dow, the NCTF commission received 307 applications. The commission considered grade point average, leader-ship and experience, awards and honors, written essays, educator recommendations, and video submissions. Stan-dardized test scores from SAT/ACT were optional. Students who did not receive an early-decision award were deferred to the regular application period, which runs until Feb. 28. Any potential teachers in the ar-eas of elementary, STEM, or special education are encour-aged to apply at www.ncte-achingfellows.org during the regular application window. The list of awardees will be final in March. “Congratulations to these deserving winners chosen during our early-decision process,” said Bennett Jones, director of the N.C. Teach-ing Fellows program. “We look forward to their future careers in classrooms around the state. We are heartened by the continued growth of the program, and we are grateful for the support of lawmak-ers and education leaders as we continue to promote the teaching profession.” The 210 awards in the early-decision window rep-resent a 61% increase in early-action awards from last year’s window. The ear-ly-decision awardees feature 134 high school seniors, 60 college transfer students and 16 licensure-only stu-dents. The early-award re-cipients hail from 126 cities and towns representing 63 counties across the state. The early class of 2025 includes 30% minority recipients. Finally, 136 of the ear-ly-decision award winners intend to study elementary education; 45 are pursu-ing licensure in the areas of STEM education; and 29 are planning to be licensed in special education.The N.C. Teaching Fel-lows Commission is com-prised of four deans from ed-ucator preparation programs, a community college pres-ident, a beginning teacher, a principal, a member from business and industry, and a local school board mem-ber. The NC Teacher of the Year, Principal of the Year, Superintendent of the Year, Chair of the State Education Assistance Authority Board of Directors, and Director of the Teaching Fellows pro-gram all serve as ex-officio members. Amber Lynde earns NC Teaching Fellow As Davidson County’s population continues to grow, more family farms are being converted into housing subdivisions. Thanks to the late Dr. Douglass Everhart’s estate planning, future de-velopment will not occur on his 120-acre farm because he opted to protect it with a permanent conservation easement. Those fortunate enough to own family land often wonder about what will hap-pen to their beloved property after they are no longer able to care for it, said Travis Morehead, executive direc-tor of Three Rivers Land Trust. Everhart guaranteed his family farm will always be protected by donating a con-servation easement. Wendy Hill Farm will never be sub-divided or developed. Future generations will be able to enjoy the beautiful Davidson County farm. “Generations of the Ever-hart family have enjoyed this unspoiled farmland. Al-though he traveled the world, Doug returned home to help his father at Wendy Hill Farm. During the 20+ years that he taught school, he spent summers raising horse hay and working the fields. He loved this land, and pre-serving it was vitally import-ant. He wished to spend his final days there and watch nature at its finest. He was fortunate to do just that until he passed on Nov. 7, 2023,” said Kathy Hunt, a longtime friend of Dr. Everhart. “Davidson County is de-veloping rapidly, but that de-velopment won’t take place on this farm. Three Rivers Land Trust staff understands the importance of local fami-ly farms and hopes that more folks will consider conserv-ing their land like Dr. Ever-hart,” states Morehead.

Davidson farm now in conservation easement Bucolic scenes such as this have been permanently protected from development.
