After beginning his career in Yadkin County as a teacher, prin-cipal, and coach, he joined Davie County Schools as the principal of Davie County High School. He later served as assistant super-intendent for several years before taking on the superintendent role. In total, he has served Davie County Schools for 17 years.Under his leadership, Davie Schools superintendent retiring May 1 Jeff Wallace County Schools navigated the challenges of COVID-19, im-plemented a 1:1 computer initia-tive, improved graduation rates, increased certified staff supple-ment, completed a long-term facility project for district staff at the Mebane Education Cen-ter, and remained focused on its mission to engage, equip and em-power all learners. Wallace described his decision to leave a job at UPS to enter the field of education as "one of the best decisions I have ever made."“I wanted to be part of a team that invests in the lives of young people, providing them with sup- port, encouragement, and chal-lenges to help them become better individuals, just as my teachers and coaches did for me. Almost 32 years later, I can say I am a better person because of the chil-dren I have served and the incred-ible people I have worked with,” said Wallace.“Jeff has been a dedicated and loyal leader in Davie County Schools,” said Dub Potts, board of education dhair. “He always puts the needs of children and staff above all else. As he transi-tions from a remarkable career in public service to an exciting new chapter in retirement, we thank him for all he has done for our school district. We are excited and wish him the very best in this well-deserved next phase of life."Beyond his district leadership, Wallace has served on communi-ty agency boards, such as Smart Start of Davie County, SECU, Dragonfly House, the YMCA, and as an active member of the Mocksville Rotary. Jeff and his wife Kelli are active members of Calvary Baptist Church where he serves as a deacon and teacher. The Davie County Board of Education accepted Wallace’s resignation during a closed ses-sion at the Jan. 7 board meeting. The 2025 Rev. Dr. Martin Lu-ther King Jr. celebration will be held on Monday, Jan. 20 at Chin-quapin Grove Baptist Church, 4462 NC 801 North, Mocks-ville.Sponsored by the Davie branch of the NAACP, the program will begin at 1:30 p.m. The guest speaker will be Dr. Serenus T.

Anthony Woodruff will be the host pastor.Churn is also an author, found-er of an MLK Jr. scholarship fund, and founder of the File-Goodwin Center.The sanctuary at Mt. Zion was named in his honor.

Community helps Cognition reach goal Timeless MagicBy Julie Terry CartnerThe cows lie in the pasture, their shaggy black and white coats covered in sparking crystals of the fallen snow, calm-ly chewing their cud and placidly waiting out the storm. The feeders are inundated with birds, fiery red cardinals beside warm brown sparrows, soft gray doves feasting be-side dark-eyed juncos, and brilliant blue jays surrounded by chickadees and wrens. Some cling to the feeders while others scratch through the snow on the ground to find the fallen seed. Even the squirrels participate, sharing rather than stealing. Peace reigns. Dusk is descending and soon owls will join the landscape as they glide from tree to tree searching for prey. Snow gently falls from the sky, cov-ering the deck and porch, and festooning the branches of the trees with the best of decorations, nature’s beauty at its finest.A serenity, particular to snowy days covers the land. The frantic nature of life slows down as people regroup and take a different approach to their day. Not yet enough snow for sledding or snowball fights, not enough for snowmen or snow forts, the silence continues unbroken, the pure joy of a winter snow enough for now.It's a time to snuggle under a blanket, read a good book, and sip from a steaming cup of cocoa. It’s a time to paint or knit or listen to music. It’s a time to just be. That’s enough; in fact, that’s more than enough. Sometimes we need that: an excuse to step away from the bustle of life and just take in the beauty of our world.Later, when darkness descends and the moonlight shimmers through the falling flakes, the night creatures will take over. Coyotes will howl and bark as they run their evening routes, and the silence will be broken. Owls will hoot their nighttime calls, and nightlife will slip be-tween trees with only their hooves and paws occasionally snapping a twig or rustling fallen leaves. Yet, still, between times, the night air mostly will be filled with silence, a silence that is different in snow than in other night skies. Instinctively, wildlife will burrow down in warm nests, made soft and safe with autumn’s leaves, downy feathers and warm fur. They know what we sometimes forget, but what we seem to remember on snowy days. Sometimes we need to re-charge, to remember that the often frantic pace of life can become too much, and it’s okay, no, it’s better than okay, it’s wise to step back and allow ourselves the time to truly appreciate the silvery, peaceful silence and calm, the unexpected gift of a magical snowy day.Tomorrow will come soon enough. Perhaps the land will be covered in snow and children will exclaim their joy as they pursue all the finer aspects of snow, the ex-citement of sledding down a hill, the sheer delight of aim-ing a snowball at an unsuspecting friend, or the absolute bliss of falling backwards and creating a perfect snow an-gel. Adults will forget their maturity and join in, creating the perfect snow man, stockpiling snowballs for an epic fight, and joining the children in the adventures of sled-ding. There will be bonfires and marshmallows, s’mores and snow cream, and for at least a while, sheer exuberance will rule the day.Perhaps the snow will have faded away to small patch-es protected from the sun, and the rest will be gone as if it never happened. And yet, and yet, whatever happens, the timeless treasure of snow will once again have worked its magic. Davie County ChangesBy Marie CraigMy mother grew up in Davie County in the Sheffield community. She moved to Statesville to live with her mar-ried sister so that she could attend high school. When she was about 25, she met my dad in Statesville, and they mar-ried. We moved to Black Mountain when I was about two and a half. We came back several times a year to this area to visit. I remember riding the train to come here. That was an exciting ride down the mountain from Ridgecrest to Old Fort. There are seven tunnels on this curvy, steep railroad grade. The trains burned coal back then, and I can remember smelling that strong scent as we were in the tunnels. When we finally bought a used car after World War Two, we would drive the curvy highway 70 on this same route, once in a while glimpsing the train tracks that we had previously ridden on. There were fun stops on this trip; Point Lookout was a gift store and filling station clinging to the side of the mountain with a big back porch that hung out over the steep mountain. Interstate 40 was finally built down the same precipice after banks slid off and blocked the road building. It was a real feat to construct that road. But I’m sure the build-ing of the previous road took a lot of effort and engineer- ing also. It is now a hiking trail. Building the train route and hand digging the seven tunnels by convicts in the late 1870’s is described in the historic novel, The Road by John Ehle. Despite which route we took, we always enjoyed com-ing back to Statesville to visit my father’s family and to Davie County to visit my mother’s kinfolks. We enjoyed going to my cousin’s house on Country Lane which wasn’t paved and stopped a little beyond her home. It is now a major speedway as folks take that shortcut and gamble on going around some of those curves with breakneck speed. When I moved here a little over twenty years ago, it was so much different than now. There was a small Walmart, no Lowes, and no dollar stores. There were four huge oak trees on the square that had to be removed because of safety reasons. There was a wonderful Ben Franklin Store on highway 601 and a marvelous fabric store on Salisbury Street. Davie County is a great place to live and to learn about all the interesting history as I’ve researched and written twelve books about it. Christmas 2025By Gaye HootsThis year I came to Advance early to get medical and dental appointments done and to spend time with my fam-ily. The medical appointments went well but I did have a molar pulled so this slowed me down a bit, and I did not get to see the Advance Christmas parade because of this. In addition to time with family I also had lunch with Lorene Markland and Gail Frye and ended up with Christ-mas goodies that I am still enjoying. Christine Smith and Kae Stockton took me to an event where I heard Dr. Gary Chapman speak. He and his wife made an impression on me as being totally dedicated to service. Janine Vogler, a friend from first grade, and I had lunch, and we visited Larry Vogler.Today Janine and I attended services at Advance Meth-odist Church, and I got to see several friends I only see when I get to attend church there. I also paid a visit to Betty Potts, Jack and Jane Carter, Judy Howard, and Larry Carter where I saw Kay Morris. Another reason I planned a longer visit was to get time with Tiffany and Mia, now that they are home from NICU. Their church is being very supportive with visits, food, and prayers. We continue to pray for miracles for Mia. Jaden welcomed them home and I got several visits in and plan to spend Christmas there.All my immediate family is here for Christmas except for my grandson Vann, who is active military, Navy EOD, and his wife Laura who is an officer in the Air Force. The twins are young enough to enjoy a traditional Christmas and Mia is enjoying her Christmas tree, programs and mu-sic. We are blessed to have her home.I learned that Katy Potts, daughter of Ken Potts, piloted the plane that did the flyover at the Panthers game in Char-lotte today. Ken is a commercial pilot, and his mother Bet-ty earned a private pilot’s license, I believe. Roy and Gray Potts operated a small airport in Advance, and Roy had an instructor’s rating. We owned a small Tri pacer and flew often then, so flight is a family tradition. I saw Ken briefly at his business, Kopter Supply, and gave him a copy of my book.The time here is always too short and there were many friends I did not get to see, but did see some of them when we joined the twins at the Loop for their birthdays. They celebrated with friends their age and Weston, Faye’s grandson. They will continue to celebrate through Christ-mas and will enjoy their goodies. They both like to read and enjoy books and that warms my heart. There are a few other visits I hope to make and if not, I will try on my next visit.I want to wish a merry and blessed Christmas to family, friends, classmates, church members, all our community, and the world. This is my seventy-ninth Christmas, and each one becomes more precious. Both my siblings are deceased, and I am aware the sand is trickling away, and am grateful and blessed to have today. To the editor:The Board of Directors for Cognition of Davie County, Inc. was challenged by the Davie Community Foundation and the Mebane Charitable Foundation to raise $100,000 before Dec. 31 to receive matching $25,000 grants. The opportunity and incentive were provided for Cog-nition to hire an executive director with the business ex-perience to lead our mission and vision for the future. In less than six months our community has shown their love and support for Cognition and we met our goal by Dec. 31. We are so grateful to everyone who contributed to this fundraising effort. Along with your support and the contribution from the Davie Community Foundation and the Mebane Charitable Foundation we can find the leader Cognition needs. We look forward to continuing our excellent, educa-tional programming and fun, family events for our com-munity and surrounding counties to play, learn and grow.Kim Crawford, PresidentCognition Board of Directors By Mike Walden, NCSUThe older I get, the more I seem to think about my past, especially my parents. Both were high school dropouts, but they were able to provide for their family and lead suc-cessful lives. There were ups and downs, such as when my father’s small business went bankrupt during the recession of the late 1950s. But my father changed course and ended up working for other people the rest of his career. When money became tight, my mother would take part-time jobs to fill the gaps. Her favorite was working as a switchboard operator, a job she learned during World War II.Perhaps the greatest gift from my parents was a road-map for getting ahead, my parents’ term for being finan-cially successful. They didn’t mean becoming rich. It meant earning enough to support yourself and dependents without substantial debt. Both of my parents were very cautious about debt. Each never had a credit card.As a professional economist for almost 50 years, I’ve devoted much time to studying how to get ahead. IThe starting point is developing skills that will allow you to be successful. People define success individually. But a core part of success is earning enough to be finan-cially independent and able to afford the necessities of life.Developing a person’s skills for earning income is eas-ier said than done. Everyone has different skill levels. My wife has artistic skills, I don’t. This is why I failed at my first occupational pursuit of becoming an architect. It took me three majors before I found a skill I had a talent for, and one in which I could earn a living - economics. When I graduated from high school six decades ago, the common advice was that a college degree was neces-sary to get ahead. This advice is changing. While a college degree is still a necessity for many occupations, the good news is there are alternatives to a four-year college for developing skills that are financially marketable. Two-year colleges, which are highly rated in North Carolina, are one example. On-the-job training is another, and one that has experienced a recent revival.Even after a person is earning enough to be self-sup-porting, there are additional important recommendations for getting ahead which fall under tmoney management. One key issue is separating spending into needs and wants. Needs are food, shelter, health care, transportation, and utilities like water, fuel and electricity. Wants include spending on what makes you happy. There’s much flexibility in these definitions. Shel-ter is a good example. A household with two adults and two children may want to buy a 4,000-square-foot home to be comfortable, but a 2,000-square-foot home would allow them to function. The household may consider the 4,000-square-foot home a necessity. The question is whether the higher price, payments and debt of the larger home can be easily accommodated by their income. If not, the household may want to settle for the smaller home. This example raises the issue of debt in successful fi-nancial management for getting ahead. For most house-holds, especially young ones, using debt is necessary. Debt allows a household to use expected future income to make purchases. This tradeoff makes sense if the benefit fis higher than the benefit of using the money later. Taking on debt to buy a home is a good example of the proper use of borrowing.Even with this logic, there should be constraints on bor-rowing. Financial experts recommend the total of a house-hold’s monthly debt payments should not exceed one-third of their monthly income. For many households, this means always asking themselves how much they want something if it means taking on more debt, versus waiting until they can afford to pay more of the purchase with cash.The last aspect of getting ahead is to think about staying ahead. This means saving and investing some money to-day for the future, especially retirement. Because this goal is the opposite of borrowing, households often don’t begin saving in earnest until their income is higher and their bor-rowing has diminished. Still, establishing a modest sav-ings and investing plan while big borrowing is continuing is a good idea for developing the mindset of saving.Thinking about getting ahead is a good objective for the new year. It may actually be more exciting than losing 10 pounds, which I tried to do in 2024. But, you decide.Mike Walden is a William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor Emeritus at North Carolina State University. ‘Getting ahead’ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025 - 3Dateline Fundraisers Saturday, Jan. 18Community breakfast, Oak Grove Methodist, 1994 US 158, Mocksville, 7-10 a.m. Eggs, biscuits, gravy, sausage, country ham, grits, apples, French toast sticks.

Tim Devericks resigned Jan. 7 after leading the War Eagles for nine years, including eight full seasons. Davie principal Michael Pruitt released a statement to team mem-bers. “As you are probably aware, Coach Devericks has resigned his position as the head football coach. I would like to offer my sincere appre-ciation to coach Devericks and his staff for their service to Davie High School and our athletes. Fortunate-ly, Coach Devericks is still in the building and will be able to handle recruiting requests in his role as the ADD until a new coach is in place.“As we look toward the future of War Eagle football, we are com-mitted to finding the best possible leader. That process has begun. We are accepting applications, and we anticipate being able to move to interviews with the best candidates within the next few weeks . Our goal is to have our new coach confirmed by the end of the month.“Please be on the lookout for information about the resumption of weightlifting and conditioning soon.”Devericks, who is Davie’s ath-letic director and a PE teacher, was an assistant coach for several years before being elevated to head coach in the wake of Devore Holman’s resignation in the middle of the 2016 season. The War Eagles were 7-1 following a 20-3 win at West Forsyth. A few days later, Holman resigned for personal reasons and Devericks took over. His first game calling the shots was one of the most exciting ever, a 45-42 shootout over visiting North Davidson in which Davie quarterback Chris Reynolds barely outdueled North’s Joe Butts. Davie went 5-1 under Devericks that year, going 6-0 in the CPC, beating Southeast Guilford and Kannapolis in the playoffs and finishing 12-2 af-ter a state quarterfinal loss to Hendon Hooker and Dudley. Davie’s records the next eight years were 5-7, 3-8, 7-6, 5-2, 6-5, 4-7, 7-4 and 3-7 in 2024. Davie’s CPC finishes from 2017-24: fourth, sixth, tied for second, fourth, fifth, fifth, tied for second, tied for fifth. Davie went 3-6 in postseason games from 2016-24. Devericks will go down as the third-winningest coach - out of 11 - in program history. Doug Illing is No. 1 at 127-66 from 1998-2012. Jack Ward went 61-51-9 from 1956-67, followed by Devericks at 45-47. In the aftermath of Devericks’ resignation, love for the long-time Davie coach poured in on Facebook. Chris Sponaugle: “Coach De-vericks coached me in football and basketball in middle school at South Davie and all four years of football at DCHS. He is one of the reasons I am a high school teacher and football coach today. They don’t make role models any better than him.” Brittani Steger: “Always loved Coach and will continue to. He has forever made a lasting impact on many, including myself.”Chris Branham: “Tim Devericks is one of the best men and friends and followers of the Lord I know. DCHS is so lucky to have him and his family. He is a great mentor to these students and athletes, and I have seen that first hand.”Lori Hampton: “I’m thankful for the impact Coach Devericks had on my sons. He was always honest, pos-itive and encouraging. He is a great coach, mentor and leader.”Johnny Miller: “Good luck Coach. What a tremendous, positive impact he had on my son.”Payne Miller: “Coach Devericks was one of the best coaches I had.” Devericks resigns as War Eagle football coach Skylar Zuleger and Zach Hirata were double winners in individual events and the Davie swim teams scored a combined 183 points in an exciting home meet against West Forsyth and Reynolds on Jan. 8. The Davie boys finished second with 104 points. West Forsyth had 118 and Reynolds was third with 81. The scoring on the girls’ side: Reynolds 141, West 83, Davie 79. Hirata won the 100 butterfly (54.19) and 100 back (58.20), as well as helping two relay teams to first place. In the 200 medley relay (1:46.24), he was teamed with Lo-gan Zuleger, Xaiden Groff and Josh McBride. The same foursome took the top spot in the 400 free relay with a time of 3:40.10. George Crowley (200 free) and McBride (500 free) turned in sec-ond-place finishes for the Davie boys. On the girls’ side, S. Zuleger’s first-place times were 25.84 in the 50 free and 1:07.53 in the 100 breast. “This meet had several under-classmen bringing home personal bests,” assistant coach Katie Shoaf said. “Seeing their hard work pay off will be a good confidence boost with conference champs in less than two weeks.”S. Zuleger was everywhere, add-ing three second places to her day’s work. She was runnerup in the 100 free and she was on the 200 medley Hirata notches four wins in swim meet Please See Swim - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie varsity boys basket-ball team suffered narrow defeat in a tense CPC battle at West Forsyth on Jan. 8, but there is plenty of drama left to unfold. When last week ended, West was standing in first place at 5-0, with Davie and Mt. Tabor tied for second at 4-1. In Clemmons, the War Eagles were within two with 1:44 remaining before coming up short, 54-49. “Since I’ve been here, that’s the best we’ve handled the West Forsyth environment,” coach Josh Pittman said. “We handled the ball decent and didn’t have many turnovers. We just came up short.”When Elliott Erlandsson banged a 3-pointer with 1:12 left in the first half, Davie had a 25-24 lead. But the game turned as Davie went the next four minutes without a point. The drought ended when Bryson Mickey drained a triple to cut West’s lead to 33-28 with 5:11 left in the third. “We did a really good job of stop-ping the fast break, but we’ve got to take better shots,” Pittman said. The Titans used a 20-9 run to carve out a 44-34 lead with 7:29 to go. It was 50-40 West with 3:59 remaining, and that’s when Davie mounted a furious charge. Asher Tolbert rebounded his own miss and scored. Jackson Powers converted a pair at the free-throw line. When a Titan missed a free throw, Ethan Driver snatched the rebound and raced coast to coast with the ball. He scored, was fouled and hit the accompanying free throw. Then Driver scored on an offensive re-bound to cap a 9-1 run that pulled Davie within 51-49 at 1:44. “They beat Jackson, Bryson and Elliott up all night,” Pittman said. “We fought back through adversity. We got hit in the mouth and we got back up and kept swinging.”West hit a free throw for a 52-49 lead. Davie missed a 3, but Landon King came up with a steal at halfcourt to keep his team’s hopes alive. Davie, though, missed another 3-point attempt and West iced the outcome by hitting a free throw at :33 that made it a two-possession game. The Titans (12-1) extended their winning streak to six, a rise that began after a 71-51 loss to Tabor in the Frank Spencer Holiday Classic. Boys slip at West Please See Slip - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie varsity girls basketball team had a disappointing showing in a three-point loss to Mt. Tabor, but the War Eagles recaptured their swagger last week and stayed in a tie for first place in the CPC. Against West Forsyth and Park-land, they looked like a bunch of Caitlin Clarks, only better. The entire game at West Forsyth on Jan. 8 was a Davie highlight reel. Five days after the Tabor loss, Davie was breathing fire and playing to its full potential, resulting in an 86-28 beatdown. “The Tabor game showed us how far we have to come to be close as a team,” coach Lindsey Adams said. “I think a lot of the Tabor game and the games before, our talent just helped us win those. The team chemistry still was not where I wanted it, es-pecially on the defensive end. “The kids are buying into the culture that I have set for five years now, the culture that the girls before helped set for this Davie team. I tell them all the time that energy and effort is contagious, and most of the time that starts on the defensive end.”Davie’s firepower was on full display, leading 30-6 after the first quarter, 46-15 at halftime, 65-19 after the third and finishing with the most points in at least 31 years. From 1994-95 through the 14 games in 2024-25, a span of 727 games, the War Eagles had never scored 86 in a game. If they had ever put up that many points, it happened between 1956-57 and 1993-94. Davie went up by 40 and started the running clock with 5:17 left in the third. “Instead of worrying about what we’re going to do on the next offen-sive possession, we said worry about getting a stop and focus on one stop at a time,” Adams said. We were not thinking about anything other than defense. “Even if I go to a 2-3 zone to show mercy to the other team, you can’t just not play defense and not get a rebound. Teams have not shown Davie mercy in the past when we were bad, so you still have to compete and you have to stand up for what happened to the old Davie teams.”Contributions came from up and down the roster. Avarie Martin had 15 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Londyn McDowell had a career-high 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting. Gracie Shore, who not for the first time flirted with a triple-double, had 12 points, eight steals and seven assists. Madison Daugherty had 11 points and seven rebounds. Vivian Vaughters hit 5 of 6 shot attempts for 10 points. Olivia Smith had nine points, four rebounds and three assists. And Emmie Burris had six points, nine rebounds and four assists as Davie shot a sterling 56 percent (37 of 66), including 69 percent inside the arc. The Titans, by contrast, went 10 of 44 for 22 percent and tumbled to 8-4 overall. Smith, a freshman who scored a season high, made some strides as Davie defeated West for the third time in a row. “Olivia will shoot the lights out in practice, and we see the offensive side,” Adams said. “The last two days, we’ve seen her put more inten-sity on the defensive side - playing stronger, playing bigger. Everybody did their job so she could get more minutes in the game. I think that will open up more things for her going into the second half of conference.” Davie 78, Parkland 58One night later on the road, the War Eagles turned in another vicious effort. The first quarter ended with the visitors ahead 37-6, and they shot - deep breath here - 87 percent in the first eight minutes, hitting 14 of 16 field goals and 6 of 8 3-point tries. While Davie was on pace for 148 points, the Mustangs (4-6) were clanging 15 of 16 shots. The elite offensive performance included 17 points, six rebounds and five assists from Martin and 14 points and four 3-pointers from Daugherty. Bailey Aderhold had 14 points and six rebounds. Shore col-lected nine points, eight rebounds, six assists and four steals. Burris had eight points and five assists. Mc-Dowell had seven points. Vaughters had five points and eight rebounds. What a turnaround it’s been for Daugherty, a sophomore guard who averaged 2.1 points in the first 10 games. She’s had nine, 14, 11 and 14 in the last four, and last week she went 7 of 12 from 3-point range. Notes: Aderhold, Burris and Shore all went 4-4 from the line against Parkland. ...

Unbeat-en West Forsyth slowed down the War Eagles, 66-55. “West Forsyth is a really good team,” coach Brandon Thalasinos said. “They got us out of our game plan. We just fell out of rhythm.” The North Davie JV boys basketball team was tremen-dously dominant in its season opener, winning by 36 at Southeast on Jan. 8. “Super proud of everyone on the team and how gener-ously they shared the ball with one another,” coach Caleb Davis said after a 52-16 wipe-out. “We had 10 players score and everyone got significant minutes and all played well.”It was not a complete blowout in the first half, the Wildcats going into the locker room with a 23-12 advantage. But they tore through the Patriots in the second half, including a 14-0 run in the third quarter. “We had some first-game jitters early and didn’t play the best defensively, despite going into the half with a double-digit lead,” Davis said. “We really settled down in the second half and locked in on D and smothered them.”The North scoring lead-ers were Justin Green (nine points), Landon McCann (eight) and Jackson Powell (eight). Powell also pulled down 13 rebounds. “Jackson Powell had a dominant 13 rebounds in It was a rough start for Davie’s middle school girls basketball teams. They went 1-5 in the opening week of the season, with the lone win being a forfeit. Two Corriher-Lipe players combined for 49 points in the Yellow Jackets’ 51-28 win over visiting Ellis on Jan. 8. Joy Knotts (30) and Arielle Blackmon (19) were the stars for the home side. Ellis was paced by Ner-iyah Johnson (eight), Zoey Harpe (seven) and Tatum Willard (seven).

Rowan 46, N. Davie 34One day later at home, the Wildcats watched West Row-an take control with a 17-9 run in the third that broke open a game that was tight in the first half. After trailing 18-17 at halftime, North fell behind 35-26 in the third and couldn’t recover. “We really struggled of-fensively with their pressure and halfcourt trap,” Davis said. Green (nine), Jacob Self (eight) and Powell (five points, 10 rebounds) paced the North attack. “Jackson was huge on the boards again, but we had a lot of turnovers and didn’t shoot or finish at the rim very well,” Davis said. “We have a really young team that’s eager to improve, so we’re excited to get back in the gym and use this as a learning opportunity to get better.”Ellis 45, C‑L 30 The Ellis season got off to a fine start as the visiting Jag-uars defeated Corriher-Lipe on Jan. 8. After taking a 12-9 lead into halftime, the Jaguars buried the hosts with a 20-8 run in the third. Hunter Hough scored 11 of his team-high 13 points in that decisive stretch. Ellis had three in double figures, including Graham Wood (12) and Levin Ward (10). Erwin 54, Ellis 52One day later on the road, Ellis ended up on the wrong side of a thrilling game. The Jaguars rallied in the fourth after finding themselves down 42-34 at the end of the third. They wasted two offensive outbursts - Will Hileman’s 19 points and Hough’s 18 on six 3-pointers. Wood was next with nine. CG 41, South 29China Grove dominated the fourth quarter to beat vis-iting South Davie in its opener on Jan. 8. Thanks to nine points from Braylen Simms, it was 13-13 at the end of the first. The Ti-gers were in contention when the third ended - behind 27-22 - but they could not make a charge in the fourth. Simms finished with 18 points, while Colten Cothren had four and Jordan Nance three. N. Rowan 61, South 29 South was overmatched by visiting North Rowan on Jan. 9.

Two girls moved down from varsity and Davie’s JV girls basketball team took a gigantic step foward in a game at West Forsyth on Jan. 8. Before going to Clem-mons, the War Eagles were floundering at 2-5 with losses by 37, 26 and 36 points. But they got a nice shot in the arm from sophomore Lexi Mickey and freshman Gracyn Cole-man and handled West with ease, 48-11. Mickey led the way with 14 points, including eight during a 17-2 run in the sec-ond quarter. “Lexi played well; she ac-cepted her role (after coming Houses, Decks, Driveways Gutter Cleaning, Roof Wash Accepting New Patients!

Her defense is just stellar.” Eleven War Eagles got in the scoring column, including nine from Roxy Prybylowicz. Kate Nicholson did not score, but she still helped Davie in multiple ways. “She did things that do not really get noticed,” Russell said. “She boxed out to get rebounds. She passed the ball.

Both relay teams included Emory Butler, Sarah Rajacich and Samara McDaniel. Butler was second three times, including the 100 free. “(Davie had) big-time drops and great first-time swims from Ethan Diemer, Caleb McBride, Lily Wright, George Crowley, Hayden Key, Callen Whitten, Kayden Richardson, Olivia Dufur, Marion Shelton and Brayden Brooks,” coach Tak Hirata said. “This was a difficult mid-week meet coming off of holidays and snow days. We came out less than energetic as a group, though several of the younger swimmers had great swims to keep us com-petitive early on. I’m proud of several of them for swim-ming tough events, including Olivia, Marion, Hayden and Luke in the 200 IM’s and Brayden Brooks swimming the 100 fly for the first time in HS career. She wanted to do it to say she conquered every event in her high school career - and we were so proud to see her accomplish it. Josh and Ethan swam great 500’s to score well for us, while our top swimmers including Zach and Sky were able to grab some needed victories in their events. We left quite a few points on the table, with some not swimming up to potential and lack of focus on some key relays, which was tough to see. We have come such a long way in the last few years to be able to compete in the conference and I couldn’t motivate them enough to keep them focused to get the key points to beat West - that’s on me. Overall we are proud Swim ... of this group for their growth and improvements over the course of this season. To keep having continued big-time drops the way some of them continue to do late in the sea-son is amazing. We are also starting to see some leaders step up from the younger group, which is very encour- aging to see for the future of this program. We will get them ready for the conference and regional championships. For those who put in the time and effort, it’s their time to shine. They’re about to see the fruit of their hard work and we’re excited to be there to celebrate it with them.” Continued From Page B1Davie’s main weapons were Powers (14 points, 3 assists), Erlandsson (13 points, 5 rebounds), Driver (10 points, 4 rebounds) and Mickey (7 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds). The low-scoring defensive struggle saw West shoot 36 percent (18 for 49) and Davie 35 percent (18-51). “We battled and played hard,” Pittman said. “We did not shoot it as well as I would have hoped, but considering the fouls were 11-4 (in West’s favor) in the first half and to be right there at the end with three good looks to tie the game, I couldn’t ask for more from the kids.”Davie 70, Parkland 50One night later in Win-ston-Salem, the War Eagles eased past last-place Park-land. Pittman substituted liber-ally and watched 11 guys put up points, led by Ben Reid, Mickey and Isaac Swisher with nine each. Reid added six rebounds and Mickey handed out four assists, but perhaps the best stat line be-longed to Cam Owens, who had eight points, seven assists and five steals. Driver (6 points, 6 re-bounds, 3 steals), King (6 points), Erlandsson (6 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals) and Pow-ers (6 points, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks) had their moments as Davie improved to 11-3 overall. Notes: Davie is 7-0 against Parkland since the Mustangs joined the CPC in 2021-22. ... Davie’s scoring could not be more balanced. Powers is No. 1 at 10.1 points per game, followed by Mickey’s 9.7, Er-landsson’s 9.5 and Driver’s 8. W.
