Dr. Martin Lu-ther King Jr. celebration Monday at Chinquapin Grove Mission-ary Baptist Church, Dr. Serenus T. Churn Sr. gave a brief history of the struggles of Blacks in the United States, from filthy con-finement in the bottom of ships, to slavery to the ongoing struggle for freedom.“When you think of them (enslaved people captured and brought here from Africa) ... that in order to treat people like that, there had to be a myth that people of a darker hue were not really human beings.” Dr. Serenious T. Churn Sr. speaks at the Davie NAACP Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebration, held Monday at Chinqua- pin Grove Missionary Baptist Church. The day included plenty of music and praise to God. - Photos by Mike Barnhardt But they persevered. And people like Harriet Tubman, Nat Turner and Dred Scott - stood up for what was right.“God always has a man for the game,” Churn said.And then King came along.“God said to Martin ... I’ve got a job for you. God had to have somebody who could articulate to the intellects ... to the Black peo-ple ... so they could understand it. He needed somebody who could put it on a philosophical level. He needed somebody to tell the com-mon man that ‘I am the way’ and if you follow me, you will have the light of life.”At the time, Churn said, the United States was a segregated nation in a world predominately occupied by people of color.“God found someone in Mar-tin. He trained him and prepared Great people needed to fulfill dream Please See King - Page 4 By Jim Buice Enterprise Record BERMUDA RUN - Residents lined up to speak in last week’s town council meeting in support of the gates and keeping Allied Universal to be charge.They also came to hear a pro-posal from Town Manager An-drew Meadwell requesting con-sent on pursuing a request for proposal (RFP) process for gate operations that includes a staff-ing-only model and a staffing/administration model.“Currently we are operating on a legacy-type contract over the years with certain amendments, such as levels of service, staff-ing, things of that kind of nature,” Meadwell said. “But because this contract has been in place and essentially month-to-month and then year-to-year, it behooves the town to go out on the open market to see how this pricing actually compares to what we’re paying now or to see what a new vendor may be able to pay for those same types of services.“An RFP is not a contract. So whatever the council decides on a proposal, you would still ap-prove that, and it would have to be part of a budget process. There are some statutory requirements we have to follow. We just can’t continue to just add on because at some point it gets out of the original scope. There’s actually two options, and as you know, we do this kind of thing on a regular basis, whether it is trash, recycle pickup, landscaping or paving contractors, we always go out to get qualified proposals from ven-dors.”Meadwell said the staffing-on-ly model is currently in operation.

The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Our GrailBy Linda BarnetteLike the knights of old who traveled far to find the Holy Grail,My son and I searched for our family grail today.We found it in the woods far from anything,A ghostly specter of what had been our ancestral home,No longer watching proudly as the sentinel it once was,But broken and barely standing, neglected but sublime. I thought of all the family reunions, gatherings, and suchThat when I was a little girl I used to dread so much.But as I saw it there today so lonely and alone,I wished for one more golden day that I could go back home. My ancestors will never know thatI cared enough to search for them today.But I am here because of themAnd my son because of me,So the spirit of a family abidesFor all eternity. HildeneBy: E. BishopA great place to visit in Manchester, Vermont and learn some history is Hildene. This name is taken from two old English words “Hil” meaning “hill” and “dene” meaning “valley with stream.” The name fits perfectly. Right in front of the (Robert Todd)) Lincoln Family Home porti-co (Hildene), there is a section of lawn that is manicured detailing the smallness of Abraham Lincoln’s birthplace. It is a statement to remind people of where this famous family’s humble beginnings started. Robert Todd Lincoln was the only child of President and Mary Todd Lincoln to survive into adulthood. Histo-ry tells an interesting story of this almost not happening. When Robert was 17 years old, while a student at Harvard when the Civil War broke out, he was saved from seri-ous injury or possible death. The incident occurred on a train platform in New Jersey when he became stuck on a switching track. Edwin Booth (whose brother John Wil-kes Booth was President Lincoln’s assassin) saved Robert by getting him out of harm’s way just in time. After the Civil War and the assassination of his father, Robert Todd Lincoln achieved much success in his own right. An 1864 graduate of Harvard, he served as U. S. Secretary of War under James A. Garfield, U. S. Ambas-sador to Great Britain under Harrison and was president of the Pullman Car Company, the largest manufacturing corporation in the country at the time. At the turn of the century, Mr. Lincoln and wife Mary built the summer home named Hildene and moved into the 24 room Georgian Revival style home in 1905. The house was added to the National Registry of Historic Plac-es in 1977. In 1978, Friends of Hildene raised money to purchase the estate to save it from developers. They then proceeded to restore the home and formal gardens you can enjoy today. The estate consists of the home, 412 acres, 12 miles of trails, 600 foot floating boardwalk, formal and production gardens, working farm with solar powered goat dairy and cheesemaking facility, 1903 restored Pullman Palace railcar, and a telescope observatory perched on a hill overlooking beautiful mountains and countryside.Robert Lincoln’s granddaughter (Mary “Peggy” Lin-coln Beckwith) inherited Hildene in 1938, at the age of 40. She was Abraham Lincoln’s great-granddaughter, but thought of herself as an ordinary person. But, she was far from the average woman of the time, enjoying financial security and freedom to enjoy life. An exhibit at the home celebrates her life and interests. She was the last mem-ber of the family to live on the estate and abiding by her grandmother’s wishes, she willed the mansion to Chris-tian Science Church, which eventually agreed to sell to the Friends of Hildene.The estate embodies a true legacy of deep commitment to conservation, stewardship, sustainability and education. Another great treasure, saved from the wrecking ball, for all to enjoy. Chinese New Year 2025By Denise BellI love a celebration, especially birthday and New Year. They both are times of reflection and renewal for me. Clean Slate. Aspirations and Resolutions. The passing of yet another year. I like to check my horoscope on the first day of 2025, just to perhaps get a glimpse of what might be in store for me this year. What is this “new” year going to bring? While I was looking up my astrological horo-scope, I fell upon the information about the Chinese New Year and a different horoscope. The lunar calendar is an astrological calendar which is in sync with the new moon.The first day of Chinese New Year begins on the new moon that appears between 21 January and 20 February. Based on the lunar calendar, every year is connected to one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. I have known this since I was young. My family would go out to eat at a local Chinese restaurant we all love. The placemat was the one with all the 12 animals. While we waited for our food, we would all find our zodiac animal. I was born the year of the Monkey—witty, inventive, playful and curious. I can see that might be close to true.Chinese New Year is a festival that marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring. In 2025, the Chinese New Year will begin on January 29, and the celebrations will continue for fifteen days. This is a time for family reunions, special food, music, and celebrations. It is also a time to honor their ancestors and share good wishes for the new year. This upcoming Chinese New Year is celebrating the year of the Wooden Snake. Each sign will experience the energy of the year differently.There are many ways we all can celebrate the Chinese New Year. For me it is another theme for a craft or an out-ing with my grandchildren. With Pinterest, YouTube etc. the possibilities are endless. I plan to make lanterns with them. Greensboro has a celebration in February at the Historical Museum. Maybe we will plan a road trip and yummy Chinese food. I am grateful to have learned so much more about an-other culture, the traditions and beliefs. I hope to continue to learn new things through the year, whether it is predict-ed by the stars or the moon. I am sure this year will be joyously eventful. Happy New Year! The Hartley ancestrial home, described below by writer Linda Barnette. Letters To the editor:The Davie Community Foundation lost the last of its six visionary founders on Dec. 29, 2024. John Tabor Brock was a humble leader who accom-plished a great deal in Davie County behind the scenes. We would like to think the foundation is one of his proudest accomplishments because the important differ-ence it makes will live on beyond his lifetime. The B.C. and Laura Brock Fund will carry the family legacy into the future by supporting projects and organizations in Farm-ington. Thank you, John, for your vision in getting such an im-portant organization going. We are honored to carry your family name into the future.Jane SimpsonPresident & CEO, Davie Community Foundation John Brock envisioned a better future for all In the mail ... There’s a new president in town.And yes, he deserves our support. All of our support.The President of the United States is still the most im-portant position in the world, regardless of what pundits to the left and to the right of the political spectrum want you to believe. They’ll make you believe the world is coming to an end because the other side has control of the Presi-dency.The world didn’t come to an end during Joe Biden’s term. It won’t come to an end during Donald Trump’s term that started on Monday, either.The President does - and should - have power around the world. And they should - always - have our support.If you didn’t support President Joe Biden, shame on you. If you don’t support President Donald Trump, shame on you.Support doesn’t mean you agree with everything they do. And it surely doesn’t mean you agree with everything they say. Heck, you can disagree with everything a Presi-dent stands for and still support them.During the Vietnam War, countless young men got drafted and served their country to the best of their abili-ty. They weren’t asked if they agreed with the President’s decision at that time to be in the war. Their country called, and they answered.That’s support.During the Iranian hostage crisis in the mid-70s, ev-eryone was pulling for President Jimmy Carter. It didn’t matter their political affiliation.That’s support.When terrorists attacked our country on 911, every-one was comforted by the words of our President, George Bush. It didn’t matter their political affiliation.That’s support.When we see someone wearing a cap or shirt signifying their participation in our military, we offer our thanks. It doesn’t matter their politics. And you can bet that when their lives were on the line, they didn’t care whether the soldier next to them voted for the same President.That’s support.It’s a crazy world we live in, and the President will have some missteps along the way. That’s expected. Some will be his fault, some won’t. That’s expected, too. We’re all Americans here. Black and White, Republi-cans and Democrats, natives and immigrants, the rich and the poor and everything in between.God bless our President. God bless America.- Mike Barnhardt President deserves support DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025 - 3Dateline Notice is hereby given that the Town of Mocksville will hold a public hearing on February 4, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. at the Town Hall of Mocksville located at 171 S.

Emery’s flags have always stood out and she has placed in that exhibit numer-ous times,” Suggs said.Emery’s work focuses on the importance and beauty of nature’s diversity through highlighting bird species and their habitats. She has always been drawn to birds and their association with feelings of freedom, new beginnings, and peace. She intends to juxtapose the posi-tive symbolism around birds with the harsh reality these creatures face. This body of work is ex-pressed in watercolor draw-ings and intaglio printmak-ing. Each bird is researched and drawn to scale, then ren-dered in a watercolor base, with details added in using a water-soluble pen to provide an accurate yet artistic depic-tion. Rosenbaum draws inspi-ration from the scientific il-lustration genre of works by artists such as John James Audubon, George Edwards, and Maria Martin Bachman. The birds are then cut out and collaged alongside the intaglio prints, which ab-stractly depict the habitats of these animals. She creates each print from chosen, found, and gathered natural elements that are etched into zinc plates. “Rosenbaum’s style is an intersection of scientific and emotive portrayal, resulting in recognizable but creative-ly descriptive pieces. Each choice in materials, subject matter, and placement, inten-tionally creates a contrast similar to the beauty of our nature and its ongoing strug- gle to survive,” Suggs said.The “Birds of a Feather Exhibit” can be seen in the Brock Gallery, North Main Street in Mocksville, Mon-day-Friday from noon-5 p.m. or before performances.

There may be contractors and bid-ders out there that may be able and would want to do parts of the staffing as well as the administration.”Allied would be welcome to participate in the process.Mayor Mike Brannon said he and about dozen oth-ers, including council mem-ber Jeff Tedder, have been part of a gate operations group formed last May to ex-plore this next step.“We’ve had representa-tion from (Bermuda Run) West and representation from multiple HOAs on the east side as well as even those who are not represent- ed by any HOA,” Brannon said. “I think it’s been a pos-itive journey in an attempt to measure the temperature and gather feedback from those who are paying those fees. The RFP process is essen-tial and a required part of us moving forward to codify a contract with a gate securing vendor. Period.“It just seems to be the right time to ask the question to understand what this might look like. The feedback from the task group has been pos-itive in terms of the results that we’ve been able to gar-ner from Allied in working with them and coaching them and counselling them and holding them account-able. But nothing really is in place that would allow us to move forward with an existing contract. We would need to establish a new one anyway, and this is the time to bring in other players to at least ask the question of what does that look like in terms of the cost.”Responding later to a couple of those who spoke in public comments portion of the meeting – with one say-ing he “didn’t want anything done with the gates” and the other stating he “liked the gates just the way they are” – Tedder said there was “no in-tention to remove the gates. It’s just a matter of how we manage the gates. That’s what the intention that came out of the gate committee. “We reached out to other country clubs in North Car-olina that had gate services and asked about an equita-ble fee and what was their comparison. I’d be remiss if I didn’t say some of the calls we got were not in favor of the current Allied group, and we had several folks com-ment that the gates weren’t operated properly and what can we do about fixing that. And after a conversation with the gate committee and the mayor with Allied, I think Allied really has stepped up and done a nice job. And hopefully, they’ll continue to do that. “But the residents are paying for this. This is not a town obligation. We all pay as a resident of Bermuda Run. I’ve been here 42 years, so we all pay the gate fee. I think we owe it to ourselves to find out what’s out there and what’s not, and if Allied is the right choice, then so be it.”Just before council ap-proval on receiving consent on pursuing the RFP process, Meadwell was asked on a timeline for the process and said he would like to see a resolution in three to five months, so that “this would be part of the budget pro-cess.” Gate ...

He was born on March 24, 1948 in Davie County to the late Otis Marion Hendrix and Lois Jones Hendrix. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by: his older brother, Johnny Hendrix, and his sister, Cynthia Helm.As a child, Mike was active in his church, First United Meth-odist Church of Mocksville, the Boy Scouts, and worked at his father’s neighborhood grocery store in Mocksville on North Main Street. He graduated from Davie County High School in 1966, and obtained a bachelor’s degree in English from Greens-boro College in 1970. Upon graduation, he returned to Davie County to teach English. He spent 10 years as a seventh and eighth grade English teacher at Cooleemee School, where he was three times awarded Cooleemee School’s Teacher of the Year. Also, during this time, he completed his Master’s Degree from Appalachian State University in the areas of Reading and School Administration/Supervision and, subsequent-ly, completed his Specialist in Education (Ed.S.) degree in 1983. Mike went on to serve as assistant principal at South Davie Middle School and as principal of William R. Da-vie Elementary School before entering into a position with Davie County’s Central Education Office, where he spent the remainder of his professional career with Davie County Schools. He was recognized with the Exemplary Service Award of Northwest North Carolina in 1988 for his leadership in school-community relations, and gave presentations at numerous statewide educational confer-ences. Following his official retirement in 2000, he spent a few years as a music teacher for Mocksville Elementary School and William R. Davie School. Aside from his professional career, Mike has been very active in community life and was an extremely gifted mu-sician. He began as organist for First United Methodist of Mocksville in the ninth grade and served in that po-sition for 41 years. Most recently, he had served as the organist for Mount Tabor UMC, a position he was still active in.

Mike sums it up best in his own words which were in the subscript of his notes that were used to write this obit-uary, “Mike Hendrix loves Davie County and her people. He loves his church. He loves the students of Davie Coun-ty Schools. He loves sharing his talent of music. He loves being involved in his community and making life better for others.”Mike is survived by: his nephews, Matthew Mandara-no (April) of Advance, and Patrick Mandarano of Mocks-ville; a great niece, Faye, of Advance; and a far reaching net of friends and extended family whom were all so very dear to him.

These two projects are the best way to ensure that community proj-ects are funded.The program for the Jan-uary meeting was care and planting of spring bulbs, spe-cifically tulips and narcissus. Based on research from the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, members learned that bulbs should be planted at a depth of 2-3 times the size of the bulb. Planting in well-draining soil is key for bulb success and longevi-ty. Fertilizing is not recom-mended after blooming, as it can cause disease.

SHOP LOCAL DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie varsity boys basket-ball team was not spectacular in the first half against Reynolds, but the War Eagles brought fireworks to the third quarter and brushed off the visiting Demons 57-51 and earned a tie for first place at the midway point of the CPC race. Earlier in the week at home, the War Eagles had a walk in the park against Glenn, 78-51. They raced to a 40-24 halftime lead and kept pulling away in the second half. Davie shot 50 percent overall and buried 12 3-pointers. No one was better offensively than Asher Tolbert, who enjoyed a season-high 16 points by hitting 4 of 5 3-pointers. Jackson Powers (12) and Bryson Mickey (10) joined him in double figures. Elliott Erlandsson, Ethan Driver (6 rebounds, 5 assists) and Isaac Swisher scored eight each as Davie defeated the Bobcats (5-11) for the sixth time in a row. Three-point flurry leads to tie for 1st Please See Flurry - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie varsity girls basketball team, which entered the week in first place with a half-game lead over Reagan, is trying hard to awaken the championship echoes that have been asleep for too long. At 11-5 overall, the War Eagles have their finest 16-game record in 10 years. And they are 6-1 in the CPC for the first time in 23 years. It’s safe to say there’s never been a game in Davie history like the one that was played Jan. 15. The score - Davie 70, Glenn 1 - looks like a misprint. Unfortunately for the visiting Bobcats, it was a typical day at the office. It was their 11th defeat by 40-plus points. Through 12 games, their average margin of defeat was 62-10. Their lone point against Davie was a banked-in free throw in the third quarter. Avarie Martin (16 points), Gracie Shore (15) and Olivia Smith (12) cracked double figures as Davie ran its series winning streak to seven. Glenn tumbled to 0-12. Davie 65, Reynolds 21 Lindsey Adams is not the type of coach who’s ever going to feel complete, but she was pretty darn pleased with a first half that saw Davie carve out a 36-5 lead over the visiting Demons on Jan. 17. “I think that’s the first halftime talk where I’ve actually come in with mostly positives,” Adams said. “I was kind of shocked we held them to five points in the first half. That’s not because they’re that bad; we’ve really been dialing in on our man defense, and I was really pleased. We moved the ball around and played for each other.”Bailey Aderhold accounted for nine of Davie’s 15 first-quarter points and finished with 18. The junior wing hit three 3s, handed out three assists and made three steals. “Bailey is hot. She is on fire,” Adams said. “She has been stepping it up a lot this year. She’s now one of our captains. She’s just really been buying into what we need from her and leading the team in charges. Now her outside shot is falling, her offense is flowing and she’s getting to the hole and getting assists. She’s just playing really good basketball right now.”Martin overcame a cold start to match Aderhold with 18. Madison Daugherty had seven and Emmie Burris had six points, five rebounds and three assists as Davie simply outclassed the Demons (4-9). “I saw Avarie get discouraged after her third or fourth miss,” Ad-ams said. “I said: ‘Go to the hole. If your outside shot is not falling, don’t worry about it.’ She can so in many ways and some teams forget she’s been a post player her whole life.

Last year Reynolds swept Davie, and Davie had dropped five of six in the series. ... Davie’s 11-5 mark is the best since the 2014-15 team under Dave Ruemenapp started 11-5. That year Davie was led by Madison Zaferatos (13.6 ppg), Ashlyn Hampton (9.8) and Aubriana Peebles (8). ... Davie is 6-1 in the league for the first time since the 2001-02 squad held an identical record.

Best start in 23 years for girlsDavie 57, Reynolds 51Two nights later, the War Eagles were a big favorite again, although you couldn’t tell it for awhile as Reynolds went toe to toe with them in the first half. The War Eagles went 3:19 with-out a point, only managed eight second-quarter points and held a skinny 23-22 halftime lead. But boy did the War Eagles answer the bell in the third quarter. Mickey, the ultra-reliable point guard, did Mickey things, like hitting three triples in a span of 88 seconds. His first 3 was from the right corner, the second one from the left corner and the third one from the right wing. Powers, Driver and Tolbert assisted the bombs. “We have improved at finding the guy who is making shots,” coach Josh Pittman said. “We found Bryson three times. That’s a nice thing to watch.”The electrifying flurry was not over. Driver sank a 3 from the left By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s JV boys basketball team was absolutely flat in the first half against visiting Glenn on Jan. 15. At halftime, the War Eagles led 23-18, but that wasn’t a satisfying margin against a winless opponent. They more than made up for it by playing an immaculate second half. Davie shredded Glenn 54-18 in the second half, including a 34-10 run in the third, to hand the 0-9 Bobcats a 77-36 thrashing. “We’ve been coming out flat the last several games,” coach Brandon Thalasinos said. “I don’t know what it is, but it’s like they need that kick in the rear end or something to get it going.” By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s wrestling team is 15-2 and has the pieces to repeat as state champion next month. But things are not all hunky-dory for the War Eagles. There are concerns. Stephen Jacobs was lost for the year with a broken wrist. Aidan Draeton Nance powered the third-quarter explosion with 12 points on four 3s. Aiden Horton had eight of Davie’s 34. Horton and Nance, who nailed five triples, finished with 16 and 15 points, respectively. Justin Haggler and Carter Cornett had eight apiece. Noah Dulin, William Martin and Ian Patton had six each as 13 War Eagles produced points. “Intensity and pressure (over-whelmed Glenn in the second half),” Thalasinos said. “We got them fired up (at halftime). When we put pressure on people, that’s the kind of things that we can do to people. They were having trouble getting it past halfcourt for a minute or two. We said: ‘We can either play down or play to our potential.’” Davie 65, Reynolds 53 At home on Jan. 17, Davie’s terrific balance - four double-figure scorers - overcame a monster per-formance by Reynolds’ Cace Carter. The Demons trailed 13-12 after the first quarter, 31-24 at halftime and 50-41 after the third. They stayed in contention behind Carter, who hit six 3s, went 7 for 7 from the foul line and scored 31 points. “They’ve got one guy who got really, really hot,” Thalasinos said. Getting a season-high 21 points from Horton, Davie still cruised to 14-2 overall and 6-1 in the CPC. Horton buried 7 of 9 field goals and grabbed six rebounds. The lefthander was complemented by Dulin (19 points on 8-of-12 shoot-ing), Nance (13 points, three 3s) and Martin (10 points). Patton and Cornett helped the cause with seven and five rebounds, respectively. “We played a really good team game,” Thalasinos said. “We played very selfless, shared the ball and attacked when opportunity presented itself.”Davie 77, Glenn 36 - Aiden Horton 16, Draeton Nance 15, Justin Haggler 8, Carter Cornett 8, Noah Dulin 6, William Martin 6, Ian Patton 6, Palmer Thomason 3, Wyatt Harwood 2, Jayce Bentley 2, Edarius Oliver 2, Weston Barefoot 2, Aiden Houser 1.

JV boys cruise to 14-2 record Wrestling coach has concerns Szewczyk has been out since Dec. 14 with a knee injury. A match against Mt. Airy was a train wreck. Not only was Davie missing Jacobs, a sophomore who was 20-4 at 113, it didn’t have a replacement ready at 113, the start-er at 106 was out and another guy missed weight. The Granite Bears took advantage, beating Davie 45-31 as part of a tri-meet at West Forsyth on Jan. 16. Two months after Northwest Guilford stopped Davie’s 18-match winning streak, Mt. Airy put an end to Davie’s 10-match winning streak. Nothing went as planned from 157-215, resulting in a 29-0 deficit. “It was pretty much over be-fore we got our first win,” Stanley said. “We gave up six points in seven weight classes in a row. We would’ve had to pin out to tie, but we would’ve lost on criteria, so we never even got the match started.”Davie’s winners were Cayden Glass (pin), Tiaj Thao (tech fall), Andy Davis (tech fall) and Ryder Strickland (decision).

Holman was a Davie as-sistant coach from the early 1990s through 2012. In 2013, he replaced Doug Illing as head coach following Illing’s record-setting 15-year run at the helm. In Holman’s fourth year as the head man, the War Eagles were flying high at 7-1. Then he suddenly re-signed. Tim Devericks took the reins and guided Davie to the CPC championship, the state quarterfinals and a 12-2 record. Former coach says he was forced out By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Harper Welch was the hero at crunch time, Khia Bohannon came up really big and the North Davie JV girls Jackson Powell put up a double-double, but it wasn’t nearly enough in the North Davie JV boys basketball team’s 48-20 road loss to North Rowan on Jan. 15. The first quarter was close, but the Mavericks took com-plete command with a 17-4 run in the second that resulted in a 23-8 halftime spread. “We fell apart against their press and never settled into our offense,” coach Caleb Davis said. Powell’s double-double included 11 points and 12 rebounds. Justin Green was next with six points. “Jackson had his first dou-ble-double of the season and we did better with our half-court defensive rotations than last week,” Davis said. “We’ll 1484 Hwy. 64 West, Mocksville, NC 336-751-3372 1328733 “Serving Davie County Since 1973” •Brakes • Tires • Batteries • Alignments • Scheduled Maintenance • Complete and Professional Auto Repair (336) 909-0609 Call BJ Arning Today •Fully Insured •Tree Work & Tree Removal •Trimming & Thinning •Free Estimates •Stump Grinding •Bucket Truck •Formerly Seaford’s RANDY MILLER& SONS 295 Miller Road • Mocksville(336) 284-2826 • We Pump Septic Tanks • SEPTIC TANK SERVICE Septic SystemsFootingsLoader Work Skid Steer WorkTrencher WorkHauling StateCertifiedInspector But a bitter taste remains for Holman, who said last week he was forced to resign. “The powers to be made it clear that this is what you need to say, so I had to go out and tell my kids on a Wednesday at practice that I would no longer be their head coach,” Holman said. “A lot of people called me and said: ‘What’s wrong?’ I had to lie to people for a long time, saying I had personal issues going on, but that was not the case. I did what I was told. “I should’ve gotten me an attorney and I should’ve gotten the NAACP involved. I just need to make that clear. There are a lot of people that know the real reason, but then there are some people that said he stepped down on his own. That’s not true. I just want to make sure that’s clarified,” Holman said.

The Wildcats were down 12-8 before Bohannon hit two free throws with 55 seconds remaining. Moments later, Bohannon attacked the lane, was fouled and hit the first free throw to draw the Wild-cats within 12-11. When the second attempt missed, the Mavericks knocked the ball out of bounds and the hosts called a timeout. Coach Austin King drew up a play. Bohannon inbound-ed the ball to Welch, who was freed by a Karmen Wilson screen. Then Welch picked an opportune time for her first points of the game, a basket that wound up being the game-winner. “We ran an inbounds play where my five player came down and set a pick on the block. Harper came right be-hind (Wilson), caught the ball and had a free shot outside the paint,” King said. Bohannon led her team with six points. Rhaelyn Ste-phens had three, while Welch and Wilson had two each. “Khia was one of the main reasons we won,” King said. China Grove 15, North 10One day later at home, the Wildcats fell to 2-2 on the season. Kate Mason and Bohannon had three points apiece. Welch and Wilson had two. South 27, Southeast 9 South Davie broke into the win column with authority, throttling Southeast at home on Jan. 15. Kylie Edwards scored sev-en points as the Tigers rolled up a 19-3 halftime advantage. Kate Welborn had six. Janie Scott and Hallie Head had five each. Erwin 29, South 13One day later, however, visiting South could not hang with Erwin. The Eagles led 15-4 at the half and widened the gap in the second half. Zoe Nichols and Scott had five points apiece. Ellis 30, N. Rowan 16Zoey Harpe and Tatum Willard made offensive noise as the Jaguars whipped visit-ing North Rowan on Jan. 16. It was a much-needed win after Ellis lost the first two games by 23 and 27. Harpe was the top scorer with 12 points. “She’s scrappy,” coach Roger Blalock said. “She has grown a lot from last year to this year. She does all of it. She’s my go-to player. She will bring the ball up. She will give it to our point guard, then she will go down low, they will give it to her and she’ll shoot a little floater or a runner or something. Or she will get the rebound.”The Jaguars built a 14-6 halftime lead and maintained a safe cushion all game. Wil-lard, the team’s No. 1 scorer, drained three 3-pointers and finished with 11 points. “Tatum shot the ball good,” Blalock said. “She is a sixth grader and she’s short, but I call her my banty rooster because she is so gritty and tough. She came to play.”Katie Lou Cornatzer banged a triple in the first quarter and sixth grader Carsyn Stroud made her mid-dle school debut after missing the first two games with an injury. “I was really excited for Katie Lou,” Blalock said. “Carsyn fell and broke both her wrists during practice about two months ago, and she started back practicing on Monday. She did so well that I started her. She’s a good defender and she passes the ball good.”N. Davie 13, N. Rowan 12 - Khia Bohannon 6, Rhaelyn Stephens 3, Harper Welch 2, Karmen Wilson 2.

The Red Devils led 6-0 af-ter the first quarter and 11-5 at halftime. “We did everything pretty well in the first half other than score,” Davis said. “We had plenty of good looks, they just wouldn’t fall.”The second half was a different story. North out-scored China Grove 21-6 after intermission and evened its record at 2-2. Jacob Self (eight), Green (seven) and Evan Hempstead (five) were the top scorers. Green pulled down eight rebounds and Powell (11 rebounds) col- lected 10-plus boards for the fourth time in as many tries. “We brushed it off at halftime, came out refo-cused, took the lead and got a much-needed win,” Davis said. “The weather has taken away all practice time recent-ly, so we needed a morale boost after a couple of losses. I’m proud of how the team rallied in the second half.”South 40, Southeast 14After dropping its first two games, South Davie had something to smile about when it played at home on Jan. 15. Khari McClelland (12) and Jordan Nance (10) scored in double figures as the Tigers mounted a 30-10 halftime lead. Erwin 39, South 30The visiting Tigers held a 23-17 halftime lead, but they faltered in the second half and lost on Jan. 16. The Eagles turned the game by scoring 14 unan-swered points in the third. Nance (10) and Preston Wil-son (six) paced South’s scor-ing. Ellis got crushed, 50-12, by visiting North Rowan on Jan. 16. The Jaguars entered the week at 1-2. N. Rowan 48, N.

Later in the evening, Da-vie stayed perfect in the CPC, but the route to the 40-31 win over West Forsyth wasn’t easy. The War Eagles, who de-stroyed West 70-3 last year, had pummeled four league rivals by an average score of 67-10, but they found themselves behind 31-17 with only four weight classes remaining. Davie had to have a mon-strous finish to pull out the win, and Glass (pin), Thao (pin), Foster (tech fall) and Davis (pin) made sure that happened, the 23-0 run lift-ing the War Eagles to 5-0 in the CPC. Earlier, Jamarius Pelote pinned, Maddox Creason won by tech fall and Davis Jones and Strickland won decisions. At the moment, the War Eagles are not primed for a repeat showing in the state duals. But if everything falls into place in the next couple of weeks, they could surge to the sport’s mountaintop again. Stanley is crossing his fingers, counting on Jack Bost to pick up the slack at 113 and hoping Szew-czyk returns for the stretch drive. Bost is 21-8 while competing at 120 and 126. Szewczyk has been sitting on a 15-0 record for over a month. “I’m not really sure when (Jacobs) broke it,” he said. “He’s had a little bit of an issue with it the last week or so, and he went and got it checked out. He’s out 4-6 weeks, which pretty much puts him out for the season. “Jack was too heavy for his weight certification to allow him to go down that early, but he will be the re-placement there. Jack is only allowed to lose a pound or so a week. His last weigh-in he was 117, so the earliest he could make 113 is (this) Thursday at Parkland. “The big question mark is can Aidan get back? I don’t know where he’s at or how far out he is. It’s just week by week with his knee. If we get Aidan back and we get Bost down ...”Davie 1st PlaceThe War Eagles trav-eled to Wilkes Central on Saturday and walked away with first place in the Eagle Invitational. Davie had five champions and 190 points, followed by West Wilkes 171, Wilkes Central 117.5, North Da-vidson 116, Hibriten 115.5, Starmount 82 and Bishop McGuinness 7. Davie’s first-place per-formers were Glass (2-0 at 126), Thao (3-0 with three pins at 132), Foster (2-0 at 138), Davis (2-0 at 144) and Strickland (2-0 at 285). Turning in 3-1 efforts were Jones at 157, Max Mc-Call at 175 and Creason at 190. Dominic Ishuin (106), Ronan Dailey (150) and Pelote (165) all went 1-1. It was the varsity debut for sophomore Dailey. Leighton Reavis went 1-2 at 120. Concerns ... One of Davie’s stalwarts is senior Cayden Glass, a senior who was a state runner-up last year. His record so far this year is 32-3. Jack Bost is 21-8 at 120 and 126, but the sophomore is headed to 113 for the state playoffs. Maddox Creason has a 21-8 mark as a junior at 175, 190 and 215.

The decisive part of the game - Davie went on a 19-8 run to take a 42-30 lead - included a driving basket by Landon King and an inside bucket from Erlandsson. “We made an adjustment at halftime to get into our zone play and setting screens, and that made the passes a little more clearer and they arrived better in the shooting pocket,” Pittman said. “And then the shots were better. We were getting good shots before, but it seemed like it was always off of a jump pass or a forced pass or something like that.”Erlandsson had a game to remember with 17 points and 16 rebounds. “Elliott played really well,” Pittman said. “That’s one of his best games, period.” Mickey (15 points, 8 as-sists, 5 rebounds) and Powers (14 points, 10 rebounds) played big roles as Davie overcame subpar overall shooting (37 percent). “Point guard-wise, I think (Mickey’s) at the top of the conference,” Pittman said. “He’s a player that can get you 15-20 points on any given night and also 5-6 assists and 4-5 rebounds. I don’t see too many other ones doing that.”Pittman said seniors King and Cam Owens also de-served some credit. “Landon and Cam played really well and picked up the rhythm and the attitude, especially in the third quarter,” he said. Notes: It could be a mile-stone week for Powers, who enters Friday’s home game with 991 career points and 799 career rebounds. There are 11 1,000-point scorers in Davie’s 69-year history. ...
