Davie County Enterprise Record 1-30-2025USPS 149-160 Number 05 Thursday, Jan. 30, 2025 12 Pages 75¢ Champions War Eagle swimmers earn CPC titles 89076 3821260Page B1 Patriotic Tree Residents donate flags for veteran’s services Page 6 By Stephanie DeanFor the Enterprise Those who play music know the special ingredient needed – a sufficient amount of seasoning. In a recent chat, I picked with local music maker, Eva Casste-vens, for her thoughts on the subject.She kicked things off by giving me a breakdown of just what it takes to be a seasoned musician. “I would say time and expe-rience.”Taking the lead, she made note of a familiar quote that Eva Casstevens has always had an interest in the guitar, and hopes to play publicly more now that she is retired. - Photos courtesy Eva Casstevens Scene & Heard Local musician leans on time and experience serves as a reminder of the long road traveled to get where she is today. “Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions.” Long before Eva made bad decisions or gained experience, this girl already had what it took – the grit and determination that playing music requires. One strength that helped make her a good musician was a generous measure of stick-to-itiveness. “I don’t really consider myself proficient yet, but I'm deter-mined. If I don’t know some-thing, I’ll work on it until I do. Please See Eva - Page 4 ADVANCE - The morning of Friday, Sept. 27, 2024 saw Hurri-cane Helene roar into western North Carolina. It left behind massive destruction and death. Emergency agencies in those areas were overwhelmed and in some cases - devastated. Immediately request came for help. Advance Fire Department deployed a crew and fire truck to assist Ledger Fire Department in Mitchell County and another crew with a drone to Asheville. This same week was to be the annual fall barbecue fundraiser, so the board of directors decided to cancel the barbecue due to the loss of help to the disaster.They also realized that many of their fellow firefighters in West-ern North Carolina had suffered tremendous personal loss. It was decided that in place of the barbecue, they would ask for donations for Western North Carolina Firefighters. It began on Friday, the day of the planned barbecue with a drive-thru donation line. Information was also posted on social media with an on-line giving option.Once donations began coming in a determination had to be made how to distribute the money. Advance is a member of the Western North Carolina Association of Firefighters. The association put a plan in place where firefighters needing help could fill out an ap-plication for assistance. A panel of association officers ranked the applications based on need. The Advance Fire Department Board of Directors decided this was the best way for the donations to be disbursed. On Jan. 15 , at the associations’ quarterly meeting, a check for $14,240.62 was presented by Advance Chief Rodney Miller and PIO/Treasurer Ronnie Robertson. They learned that 74 firefighters had been approved for assis-tance.; 10 had experienced a loss of everything. A total of $175,200 had been disbursed with the amount to recipients ranging from $500 to $8,700There are additional firefighters still needing assistance. Advance Fire Department will continue to receive donations. Mail to AFD, 1869 NC 801 S., Advance, write WNC Helene Relief on the memo or scan the QR code on the department’s Facebook page. Advance Fire Dept. PIO Ronnie Robertson and Chief Rodney Miller present a check to western NC firefighters. Advance supports western NC firefighters By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record It’s not all rainbows and but-terflies.But what one member of the board of education saw while vis-iting every school in the county left her feeling good about Da-vie’s public education system.“We got to see all of the strug-gles, the challenges, as well as all of the good things happening,” Marie Helms told fellow board members earlier this month.Staff members were asked tough questions, and responded honestly, she said.“So much of what happens in our public schools that you see in the news or on social media is ei-ther the really good or the really bad ... like the bookends of what’s really going on in the schools. There’s so much going on that people don’t see. It’s just incredi-ble what’s happening.”She gave an example.“At Cooleemee (elementary), they have every single child in that school listed, and what stood out to me is how they are view-ing their students. Every student that walks into that door is every teacher’s student, and that is so special. It’s not that teachers have 28-30 kids of their own, every teacher has every child.”She saw similar positive points in every school.“The teachers are owning all of the kids and want what’s best for every kid.”Helms was also impressed with the fact that individual schools can retain some autono-my, while still collaborating with each other. That doesn’t happen in a lot of places, she said.“When we asked about behav-ior, I think every single school said they were good. That speaks to the staff and administrators and how Davie County is teaching kids how to act.” It’s a thumbs up for schools 2 ‑ DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025Editorial Page USPS 149-160 171 S.

However, I have had the opportunity to see the excellent care provided by the para-medics and other ambulance crew.I graduated from Wake Forest School of Medicine in 1985 and completed my fellowship in Cardiovascular Anesthesia in 1989. I returned to Winston-Salem and practiced for 29 years. Often I was at the other end of the ambulance ride, the doctor receiving the stricken patient. Based on this I am able to judge the skill of prehospital care the emergency services provide.I have seen the DCEMS deliver lifesaving care to a loved one, twice in the recent weeks. The care and expertise shown, which was excellent, was only exceeded by their compassion. Having well trained professionals available in a crisis can make the difference between life and death. The DCEMS provides care equal to any I have seen. We should all be thankful to live in a community that can provide such a well functioning chain of care that can be initiated so quickly.T. Stuart Meloy, MDMocksville WaterBy Marie CraigHere I sit waiting for the plumber to return my call. Once upon a time, there was a gas water heater in my attic. This has now been replaced by an electric water heater in my ga-rage, but the water pipes are still in the attic. Alas, this arctic weather has caused leaking water from the attic to stain the wall in the garage and in a bathroom. Last night when I found the streaks on the wall, I realized that I should cut the water off. Hmm. Wonder how you do that? A quick search on the Internet described the possible location and the picture of that cut-off valve. Thankfully, it was in the garage instead of outside. (Do you know where it is in your home and how to turn all the water off? Also, similar switches for gas and electricity?Since then, I have realized all the things that I cannot do right now: wash clothes and dishes, flush, get a drink of wa-ter, wash my hands, water my plants, cook pasta, or shower. We take all these things for granted. Turn a spigot and the water comes out. Not now.Hopefully this can be repaired easily; cap off the water pipe going to the attic and paint the wall whenit dries.Water has been in the news for months now as towns, houses, and people were washed away in September. Their repairs will be more extensive than mine. Recently, the Cali-fornia fires have been brutal without sufficient water to help extinguish them.I’m grateful for indoor plumbing, and this problem will help me be more appreciative and careful. New Year 2025By Gaye HootsLike all the other 79 of my life, this year will be a mixed bag of tricks. My morning routine consists of perusing the headlines on the internet and balancing that by browsing Facebook to get my equilibrium. The 2 episodes of exploding vehicles and the damage done are sobering and sad. The fact that each, though unrelated, was the sole act of a decorated veteran of the US military, and an active military member of almost 20 years, is most concerning. One appears to be an act of terrorism with an intent to do great harm while the other was not so much to harm as to attract attention. The message was that we were going to hell in a handbasket. There was an article about the large cache of pipe bombs, evidently the work of one man on an isolated farm, that was uncovered, and the man was arrested.The anger, hate, violence, and damage to innocent people is hard to comprehend. Because I am a psychiatric nurse I tend to want to put a label on these acts, as I cannot imagine anyone who is not mentally disturbed acting in this manner. There were clues that the man in New Orleans was unravel-ing as his ex-wife’s husband reported they had stopped the visits with him and his children. The other was reported to be receiving mental health treatment.The most incomprehensible crime reported was the ar-rest of an RN who broke the bones of 3 infants in a NICU. I cannot imagine this. My great-granddaughter recently spent 7 months in NICU fighting for her life. The babies harmed were all preemies, completely helpless and defenseless...I know that to force the court to intervene and commit someone you must provide proof to a magistrate that the per-son is a danger to themselves and others and has the means to act on this. Even if you succeed, they are usually released in a few days if they deny it and you can’t provide proof to the court. The only experience I had was with a patient who told me he considered shooting into a crowd because he was in so much pain and had been all his life, and that he wanted others to feel pain also. He had no weapon and when I questioned if there were specific people, he wanted to harm, he said they were faceless. I told him there were no faceless people, that all of them struggled daily, felt pain, and bled just like him and me. He never acted on this or had a weapon, but medi-cine did not successfully control his symptoms, and he lived a miserable life.After reading the news I switch to Facebook where I see posts from friends and family, pictures of their kids, grand-kids, and pets. The ones who are sick get supportive com-ments, as do those suffering losses. I am blessed to have friends who focus only on the positive and when they need help, they ask for prayers. They pray for others and meet physical needs when possible.I just finished reading 2 books about women who beat im-possible odds through their faith in God and with the love of their families. Wild Ride, by Hayley Arceneaux, is the story of a girl who survived the odds with the help of St. Jude’s, her family, and her faith. Her prosthesis, the bone inside her leg, had to be replaced 3 times, each requiring a year of therapy to walk again. She is now a PA at St. Jude’s and was selected to be a crew member on a 4-man spacecraft, as an ambassa-dor of St. Jude’s. None of the 4-man crew had any previous training and 1 was the billionaire who sponsored the ride and donated 125 million to the St. Jude’s project. There is also a version of this written for children.The Dance, by Joan Aubele, is the story of a woman who was the first adult to survive the type of cancer she had. Her faith in God, her husband’s love, her love for her children, and a strong family of siblings and in-laws including her mother-in-law who moved in and spent almost a year maintaining the family. The raw pain and despair are palpable as is her faith. Both are excellent reads. Joan lives in my neighborhood, and I have plans to meet her this week and purchase her second book. Cami is in a PA group with Hayley and has autographed copies of the adult and children’s versions of her book. The Perfect NightBy Julie Terry Cartner“Just calling to see if you wanted to play” The text came through a little after 10:30, Friday night. I’d missed the call and didn’t see the text until after 11p.m. Logic said no, abso-lutely not. It had been snowing on and off all day, and at that point there was far more icy sleet than there was snow. The roads were hazardous, and the wiser decision would be to stay home, to stay off the road.But sometimes, sometimes, the heart rules and the brain loses. My mind replayed past snowfalls. With five children, often the memories run together, but when it came to snow play, only two of the five were true snow lovers like their mother. Oh, we all played outside, sledding, snowball fights, building forts, making snow angels and collecting clean snow for snow cream, but the two I could guarantee would outlast the others were Grady and Hannah. And our favorite thing to do, once the hilarity of the day was done, was to walk in the snow, to listen to the whisper of silence as the snow drifted down through the dark night’s sky.We covered acres of land, across the fields and pastures, through the woods and down to the creek, relying on the mut-ed glow of the moon to guide our path. And we would talk: simple talk of the fun we’d had that day, and of course, our favorite parts, perhaps it was making the perfect snow angel, or that trip down the hill when we’d “catch some air” going over a terrace, or maybe it was the flawless snowball that hit a sibling when he, or she, was looking the other way. Talks would progress through deep discussions of the vastness of the world and all within it. We never knew where these con-versations would go. Though we’d start them, they’d take on a life of their own and we’d meekly follow – politics, the en-vironment, stars and constellations, childhood reminiscences, movies, books – it really didn’t matter, we were simply shar-ing thoughts.Sometimes they’d ask about my childhood snows, and I’d tell them about snow so high we’d have to climb out of the second floor windows to get out of the house and to the barn to feed the chickens, or times that we’d build tunnels that ran the length of the house. I’d tell them of sledding down our favorite hill, the one that if you hit the path just right, would carry us all the way down to the beach.Often, we wouldn’t talk at all; we’d just absorb the si-lence of the winter night, the only sounds being our breath, the crunch of snow under our feet, and occasional chirps and hoots of the nightlife around us. I loved our conversations, but I equally loved sharing the reverence of the cold night, the snow brushing across our faces and disguising familiar land-marks, the deep awe inspired by the rarity of snowfall. Some-times we’d walk and talk, and then just stop and breathe, absorbing the tranquility of the night. The rural setting, the lack of streetlights, and the absence of cars made the silence profound, and it was easy to believe we were alone, isolated in the vastness of land and sky.And so, with the memories lingering in my brain the way the scent of the woodstove remains long after it has burned its last fire of the season, though my mama brain said, “No, stay home where it’s safe,” my heart said, “Come on, but be careful.” Thirty minutes later, we were walking through the snowy night, sometimes talking, a mix of reminiscences, conversations about our day, and the sheer joy of once again walking and talking together in the snow. Other times we’d stop just for the pleasure of listening to the whisper of silence as the snow drifted down through the dark night’s sky, across the fields and pastures and down to the creek. We stood im-mersed in the silence and breathed in that perfect tranquility that comes rarely, only when life’s elements coincide to cre-ate a perfect moment: my son, myself, and the snow.Thanks, Grads, for the call. I’m glad I listened to my heart.

And apparently, I’m not afraid of embarrassing myself as you have to do a lot of that.” Eva grew up on a dairy farm in Mocksville. Even as a young girl, she always loved to sing. “I can remember when I was 7 or 8, and while riding my pony on the farm, I’d be singing at the top of my lungs and swinging my feet – and I always wanted to learn to play the guitar.”When her grandmother offered to pay for piano lessons, Eva had her heart set on learning guitar and refused the lessons. In hind-sight, there’s slight regret for having not taken her up on the offer. But on the other hand, piano lessons might have changed the trajectory of her life’s story.Despite having two un-cles and an aunt who played music, Eva doesn't credit them for being the musical influencers in her life. “We kids were never allowed in the room when they played – so I really didn’t grow up around music.” Later on, when Eva’s brother, Joe, began to play guitar, she asked him to teach her. Joe didn’t feel like he knew enough to be proficient at teaching, so he took his sister for lessons at Dave’s Music, a downtown music store. The year was 2001 when Eva began taking lessons from Danny Casstevens. That was the beginning of a wonderful musical journey and legacy of shared music. Together, the two proved to be a good mash. But how that happened is another story. As time went on, Eva continued taking guitar lessons. And the day came when Danny finally asked her out on a date. The girl was baffled. She thought he could hardly tolerate her.“You really want to go out with me? she asked, incredulously.As a student, Eva was a slow learner although she tended to learn things thor-oughly. While others might have grasped on a little fast-er and moved more quickly, she wanted knowledge and a deeper understanding. Eva understood that teaching can be tedious for an accom-plished musician when hav-ing to listen to a beginner. “He’d always been all Eva ... Eva and Danny Casstevens enjoy playing music and collecting guitars. business, so it surprised me, so.”However, it didn’t sur-prise the budding musician so much that she refused to go out with Danny, and the two began dating. Along the way, dat-ing had advantages and disadvantages. For instance – dating your teacher.“My experience was probably a little different than other people’s because of my relationship with my teacher.” The disadvantages?“What might be consid-ered an advantage because you’re familiar enough to say what you want to say – can also have its disad-vantages. When you’re a student, you’re not going to really tell your teacher what's on your mind.” Six years later, Eva and Danny were married in 2007 – and the couple has played and sung in perfect harmony ever since.“It took us a while because we’d both learned from previous experiences, and we were cautious.”Even back then, the common sense and simple truth of Eva’s favorite quote had come into play. It was true – experience had come from poor decisions. There were a few other things Eva learned along the way – a few decisions she might have made differently. “I was probably playing in public when I had no business playing in public. In some ways, it helped me, and in some ways, it didn’t. I thought, if I go ahead and start playing publicly when I don’t really know what I’m doing, by the time I’m a more accomplished musician, the butterflies will be gone.”What sounded good in theory was in fact, not – and the plan backfired. “By the time I got better, I was so nervous because I’d messed up so many times before – and that took a long time to heal.” Musicians need to possess a certain amount of humility because they’re going to make mistakes. “I've played at fiddler’s conventions and wanted to walk off stage with a paper bag over my head. And nothing’s so humbling as singing a song in the wrong key. I’ve done that many times. There’s nothing that will make one get butterflies any faster than messing up badly on stage.” Everyone who plays music makes mistakes – it’s inevitable. But when they do – they can’t stop or give up.“The first time I went to Galax, I stopped three times. Crashed and burned and embarrassed myself to death. They say the kiss of death is to stop; they say to keep going.” And keep going this musician did.Eva first learned to play guitar, so it's her first love. And while considering herself more of a rhythm guitar player, she also plays a little lead. Eva’s branched out, learning to play mandolin and dulcimer. “I started playing mandolin because Danny is such an accom-plished guitarist that there wasn’t much to fill in there.” Finding the mandolin to be an easier instrument to play lead as opposed to guitar, she said:“In the first four frets you have 16 notes, while on the guitar, there are 24 notes. Odds are better be-cause you have fewer wrong choices.” Although Eva plays Dulcimer mostly for fun, she carried home a winning ribbon by placing 5th out of 15 winners at the 2024 Galax Fiddler’s Convention – competing against almost 30 other musicians.Eva’s favorite places are anywhere there’s an engaged audience. Playing for people is a different kind of enjoy-ment. She enjoys playing music others enjoy but also enjoys playing the music she loves to hear. On a few occasions, Eva has played solo. For a while, she shared a music hour with kids at a local daycare every week. Also, she provided music and song for hayrides lead-ing to the pumpkin patch at Tanglewood’s Pumpkin Pick event and the Festival of Lights, as well. “It's easier to play for a crowd than a small group of people. It’s more comfort-able with a large group. Small groups feel kind of weird. But they all can be fun for different reasons.” Eva and Danny have always played gigs togeth-er. They enjoy playing and performing as a pair. An advantage is always know-ing the other will show up. Occasionally, they’ll play with another musician, such as a bass player, but mostly depend on one another – eliminating any conflict with scheduling. They each have their own PA system, so when arriving to play, Eva sets up her equipment and Danny, his. They do a sound check and are ready to go – there’s no need for a sound person. “Gigs are a lot less pressure. If you’re playing a gig for three hours, it’s no big deal if you mess up. You can always make it up by performing well on the next song.” However, playing at fiddler’s conventions is different. The events are competitive. Musicians are tested and judged on their kick-off, how they play, the complexity of the tune, and the ending. They have one chance to get it right. The pressure is on. “The fiddler’s conven-tions are challenging. Danny and I always back each other up. I love and hate them the most – it's stressful. Whether I place or not, if I can go on stage and play it without messing it up – I’m happy. If I play it as well as I can without shooting myself in the foot – then I’m pleased. You can play a song in your sleep, but the stress level is so high when you get up there, you’re apt to make a mistake.” Eva finds the conventions rewarding and fun as every-one’s so supportive. “The event is like having a big family reunion. Year after year, you see the same people at all the conventions and get to know them. Even though that’s the only place you see them – they become like family.”WEva has a long list of songwriters and musicians who have inspired her, but it was her brother, Joe, who was her greatest inspiration.“Joe and I played a lot when I was first learning. He was happy I was playing guitar, and he’d come by my house, stopping in on his way home. He’d show me his versions of songs and help me learn them. He played with Danny and me, too. We were like twins born three years apart. We both worked at the post office. We lost him in 2009 to a motorcycle accident. I have his guitar.” She also has her uncle's old 1948 Gibson J45. One day, Joe called Eva and wanted to know if she could come down to his house. When she arrived, he was sitting in a chair playing an old guitar. “And he said to me, ‘Aunt Betty brought me Un-cle Mac’s guitar, but I think you’d love it more than I would.’ That was the kind of brother he was.” Joe was self-taught, and Eva loved his style of playing. To this day, she continues to play some of the songs he taught her. “I don’t care how it was recorded because this is the way I play and the way Joe taught me. If you’re going to cover a song, I think you should put your own self into it and do it from your heart.”Eva acknowledges that not all musicians would agree. “I have written one song, and it was after my brother, Joe, was killed. The song was called ‘One More Time.’ It was probably a year before I could sing it without choking up and cry-ing. But anyone who’s lost a loved one suddenly can re-late to it. You just pay more attention to the things you'd want to do, one more time. I was so emotionally charged with grief – apparently, it takes a lot of emotion to do it (songwriting), and I don’t want to feel that much pain again.”Eva recognizes her husband as having a huge impact on her, claiming he’s one of the best musicians she knows.“He does a lot of luthier work – anytime I need guitar work. Danny’s a great husband and friend, and I respect him greatly as a mu-sician as well as a luthier.”Both love to collect guitars.“It's funny because some people talk about wanting to buy a guitar, but their spouse won't let them We can be excited for each other when buying; it’s a passion we share.”Every musician has a personal creative process – and Eva has hers. And it goes like this: Practice, practice, practice, and then more practice. Now retired from the post office since last March, she has more time for practice. Now, she practices every day. When she first began playing, she was working part-time and prac-ticing from home. But for the next 16-17 years, after she became su-pervisor, the job consumed most of her time. Eva had to report to work at 5 AM – leaving home by 4 to get to Elkin. For quite a few years, even though she played, she didn’t get to practice as much. But now, keeping a guitar by her chair at all times, she’ll pick it up when having her morning coffee. If she’s learning a new song, she’ll work on it while Danny’s gone to work at the Guitar Center in Winston-Salem. “I’ll play it for an hour when I’m learning a new song, and that would drive anyone mad. So I try to get a song under my belt before I broach it with Danny He helps me tweak it.”Kicking off a new year, Eva hopes to continue what she’s doing but has added a few new projects. Since retiring, she hopes to play more gigs. “Most gigs were on weekends, and I couldn’t play due to work. This year, I’m hoping to play more out in public as I have time to do it.”Eva also hopes to impro-vise more and strengthen her ability to play lead on any song. “In order to play lead, I have to learn a song and practice it to death.” A future aspiration of hers is to hear any melody and be able to take a break on it the way accomplished musicians can. Eva’s favorite part about being a musician is the creative outlet. She’d love to learn to play claw ham-mer banjo; she bought one and wants to play old-time music.“I started late in life – the year was 2001, and I was 44 years old when I began taking lessons. So, I’m the Grandma Mosses of guitar.I still have so much to learn – you never run out of things to do, and there’s always something else to learn. “I love music. I love the feel of holding a guitar and playing a guitar. I love playing music that you want to listen to. I love learning new songs.”Eva wrapped up the con-versation with a turn-around to where our chat beganm taking a break to reflect on the last 27 years.“Again, it's time and experience.” Even though invested in both, Eva hesitated to call herself “seasoned.” But she takes it home with a humble tune of “I’ll keep trying.” And, as they say – that’s a good ‘un.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Jan. 30, 2025 - B1Sports By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record The Davie varsity boys basket-ball team entered Friday’s home game against East Forsyth in a tie for first place in the CPC. It left the court facing adversity. The War Eagles have kinks to work out after a wretched loss, 58-43. East’s 18-9 run in the fourth quarter spoiled a milestone moment for senior Jackson Powers, who joined the 1,000-point club. “In games like that, I always put it on three simple things: attitude, energy and effort,” coach Josh Pittman said. “At the beginning of the game, I felt like we were flat. I felt like our energy wasn’t there. I felt that we weren’t prepared. I felt like I got outcoached. We’ve gotta go back to the drawing board and By Brian PittsEnterprise Record With the state dual team playoffs approaching, the Davie wrestling team is staring at history. Can lightning strike twice? The defending 4-A champs are ready to find out. They’ve won the state duals three times (1994, 2006, 2024), but never in back-to-back years. Things seem to be coming together at the right time. Jack Bost has cut weight and moved down from 120 to 113. Undefeated Aidan Szewczyk is about to return after being sidelined for over a month by injury. “Aidan is moving around again,” coach Josh Stanley said. “We should be primed to make a run.”The War Eagles didn’t have a 113- or 132-pounder in the 24th-an-nual Phillip Reed Rumble at Glenn on Jan. 20, but they still captured first place out of 23 teams with 189.5 points. The rest of the scoring: Eastern Guilford 180.5, Grimsley 172.5, West Forsyth 99, Trinity 93, Mt. Pleasant 92, Glenn 88.5, Southwest Guilford 88, Rock Hill (S.C.) 77.5, Atkins 53, Reagan 45.5, Reynolds 38, Cannon School 36.5, North Stanly 32, Page 31, Ledford 21, Forsyth Country Day 11, East Forsyth 6.5, Parkland 4. Davie turned in three weight-class champions. Senior Cayden Glass was lights out, pinning all three opponents at 126 to run his record to 35-3. Andy Davis went 4-0 at 144. He pinned one guy and had two tech falls before earning a monumental victory in the finals. A statement was sent when the junior decisioned Donovan Edwards of Southwest Guilford to push his record to 16-2. “Andy wrestled the No. 1 guy in the state in the finals,” Stanley said. “(Edwards) beat Andy earlier in the season, but Andy had only had like five matches at that time. That was a big-time match for Andy for knowing that he belongs there.”Senior Ryder Strickland’s pin in the finals - to cap a 3-0 day and move his remarkable record to 35-1 - put an exclamation point on Davie’s first-place showing. “Ryder had a big win in the finals against a tough kid,” Stanley said. “We were in a tight race with Maurice Atwood’s team (Eastern Guilford).When Ryder got that pin, it sealed the deal for us.”Senior Brett Foster and junior Jamarius Pelote had second places. Foster had two pins and a tech before facing a brick wall in the finals and settling for a 3-1 day at 138. Grims-ley’s Jacob McCord pinned Foster in the finals. “Brett is leveling up every week,” Stanley said. “He came in late, but he is getting his gas tank and believing in himself. He is still struggling to believe in himself against the top guys in the state, and that guy (Mc-Cord) is one of the top guys in the state for sure. We’ve got to do some mental work to get him prepared for this final push.”Pelote went 2-1 with a tech fall and a pin at 165. “Jay has improved a lot and he has taken a leadership role on the team,” Stanley said. Junior Elliott Gould crushed three guys and lost to a buzzsaw during his 3-1 run to third place. He was decisioned by West Forsyth’s Josh Spontak. “One of the top schools in the country is McCort (Pennsylvania), and (Spontak) moved from McCort to West Forsyth,” Stanley said. The War Eagle with the most wins at Glenn was junior Maddox Creason, who went 5-1 at 190 for third place. He racked up four pins. “Maddox is a hard-working kid,” Stanley said. “When he fully gets that dog in him, he’s going to be hard to beat. He’s an athlete.”Finishing fourth for Davie were Bost (4-2 at 120) and Max McCall (3-2 at 175). Carter Hoots went 3-2 at 138, while Dominic Ishuin (106) and Walker Matthews (215) both went 2-2. Notes: Davie didn’t have Tiaj Thao, who is 27-4, at 132. “T tweaked his knee a little bit,” Stan-ley said. “It’s nothing serious but it wasn’t worth it to send him.” ... The War Eagles climbed to 16-2 overall and 6-0 in the CPC with an 84-0 road win over hapless Parkland on Jan. 23. Glass, Pelote, Creason, Matthews and Strickland had pins. The Mustangs forfeited the other nine weight classes. Davie wrestlers staring at history Hirata, Zuleger win CPC swim titles Powers hits milestone in basketball defeat I’ve gotta make the right decisions as far as playing time, starters and all that stuff to make sure that our energy is matching whoever we’re up against.”The War Eagles faced an uphill climb all night. They dug a 10-2 hole before closing the gap to 13-10. They gave up 20 first-quarter points before getting back in the game with an 8-0 run that included a Bryson Mickey 3-pointer, a long two from Mickey and a post-up score from Isaac Swisher, who pulled Davie within 23-20 in the second quarter. East moved in front 30-22, but Davie responded with a 9-2 run to get back in contention. Elliott Erlandsson scored five in a row for Davie before Landon King sank a 3, at which point it was 32-31 in East’s favor with 5:12 remaining in By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record Going down in history among the finest swimmers in Davie annals seems to be the destiny for Zach Hirata and Skylar Zuleger. Both achieved conference titles in the CPC championship meet at the Greensboro Aquatic Center on Jan. 22. Hirata, a superb sophomore for the Davie boys, repeated as league champion in the 200 yard free with a time of 1:46.37. The top two in each event made all-conference, and both Davie stars made the team in two events, including Hirata’s runner-up effort in the 100 back, where he broke his own school record with a time of 52.73. “Even though I was able to have some successful swims, I know I can improve on them and have even bet-ter results, and I’m excited I have the opportunity to do that at regionals,” Hirata said. “I’m excited for what’s to come next for this team as well as for myself.”On the girls’ side, Zuleger claimed first in the 100 breast, her 1:03.02 time not only breaking her own school record but also setting a meet record. In the 50 free, she went 25.06 to finish second. And this is only the beginning for Zuleger, who is an elite freshman. “This was my first conference championship meet, so it was a new experience for me and supper fun to compete and have a good time with my teammates,” Zuleger said. “I was By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record The Davie varsity girls basket-ball team had the home crowd in a frenzy when it surged to a six-point lead in the fourth quarter, but the cushion evaporated as East Forsyth responded with an 8-0 run and Davie endured a brutally close loss, 35-33, on Jan. 24. The War Eagles took down East 52-46 in December in Kernersville, Girls fall from first with loss but this setback changed the CPC standings. At the end of last week, Reagan was alone in first at 7-1, with Davie and East tied for second at 6-2. “I said: ‘This sucks but there’s a lesson somewhere in it,’” coach Lindsey Adams said. “I guess it’s just part of the growing pains. But I told them the goals are still there. Winning the conference champion-ship is still there. We can still do it. We just made it a little harder on ourselves with a little less leeway to do it.”The War Eagles rocked East with an early 8-2 advantage, but East answered with a 17-3 run. Davie fought back with a 9-0 run in a span of 2:31 as Bailey Aderhold sandwiched an inside bucket and 3-pointer around a Madison Daugh-erty triple. The whole game was a knock-down, dragout fight. After Avarie Martin fouled an East player with 1:03 remaining in the third quarter, tempers flared and players had to be separated by coaches and officials. Then Davie rode its roaring crowd to the six-point lead in the fourth. Martin hit two free throws, Aderhold drained an 18-footer and Emmie Burris got a steal at halfcourt and raced down for an uncontested layup to give Davie a 30-24 lead. East, though, refused to roll over. It went on an 8-0 run to take a 32-30 lead. Then Makenzie Gentry rose to the occasion. She was hammered on a drive to the hole and was slow to get up. Still, she made both free throws to tie the game at 32 with 30 seconds to go. East threw away the ensuing inbound pass, with Martin securing the ball before it went out of bounds and calling timeout. The end was painful for Davie. Gracie Shore missed on a drive at :17, East streaked downcourt for a transition basket at :12 that put the visitors in front 34-32 and Burris was fouled as she attacked the lane with 3.9 seconds left. She missed the first foul shot, hit the second and Davie had to foul. There wasn’t enough time for Davie to get a shot off at the final horn. Although it was an ugly offensive fight, Davie played its guts out. “That was a rough game,” Adams said. “We couldn’t get a call. We couldn’t buy a basket. It was just rough.”Notes: Aderhold paced Davie Please See Titles - Page B3 Please See Fall - Page B4 Please See Defeat - Page B4 Londyn McDowell powers her way toward the basket. - Photo by Marnic Lewis Lexi Mickey grabs a rebound. - Photo by Marnic Lewis Xaiden Groff swims the 100 yard backstroke.

It was 6-6 at halftime and Ellis led 12-10 going into the fourth quarter. Zoey Harpe was the biggest reason the home team prevailed, scoring 10 points to give her 22 in two games. The other five points came from Katie Lou Cornatzer (four) and Neriyah Johnson (one). “Zoey’s been playing real good,” Blalock said. “I need the other girls to step it up.”The Tigers (1-4) got six points from Zoe Nichols, three from Stella Brock and two apiece from Janie Scott By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The South Davie boys basketball team, which trailed by 15 at halftime, pulled off a Houdini-like escape at Ellis on Jan. 22 with a 44-40 win in overtime.

Their fibrous makeup can help clean plaque from your teeth and increase salivation.” South boys erase 15-point deficit for win at Ellis But South came roaring back, a comeback that was a testament to Preston Wil-son and Khari McClelland. Wilson, who came in aver-aging 4.3 points, surpassed his season high (six) in the third quarter alone, when he scored eight to cut South’s deficit to 28-26. The sixth grader went on to score 16 of his game-high 18 in the second half, including three triples. McClelland’s heroics included nine of his 10 in the second half. “Preston took over,” South coach Germain Mayfield said. “We didn’t have two (Jordan Nance and Kylan Dulin) because of a funeral. So somebody had to step up.”South missed an open look from close range at the end of regulation, and it was 38-38 going into OT. In the extra session, Wilson hit 3 of 4 free throws and Colten Cothren saved his only two points for a huge moment as South improved to 2-3. Oh, and let’s not forget South doesn’t survive without Braylen Simms’ four treys and 14 points. “Colten hit the shot that probably won the game,” Mayfield said. “He got an offensive rebound and put it in. I told him I was giving him an opportunity today. I started him and he played well.”The Jaguars, who dropped to 1-3 with their third straight loss, were paced by Wood’s 13 points. Hough had nine and Will Hileman eight. Moor 31, South 28South Davie, though, came up short at Mooresville on Jan. 23.

The team’s centerpiec-es barely missed program records in other events. In the 200 free, Hirata was .6 seconds from the Davie re-cord (Nick Sinopoli 1:45.73 in 2015). In the 50 free, S. Zuleger was 0.02 from the school record (Jamie Stancliff 25.04 in 2006). “Being a young team, we always worry about how they handle their nerves, but they managed it very well,” Tak Hirata said. “I just told them to trust their training and let it fly. They swam and cheered as a team and continued to drop personal best times swim after swim. Relay splits were the best they’ve swam all season long. Being able to watch them stay focused, perform so well and support each other with lots of smiles was not only exciting but made us very proud of this team and how far they’ve come this year.”Notes: The Davie boys finished fourth out of five teams.

Davie would make another push. Mickey scored on an offensive rebound, Powers delivered in the paint and Cam Owens drilled a 3 to cut East’s lead to 44-39 with 6:04 to play. That turned out to be Da-vie’s last gasp, however. The last six minutes smelled like week-old fish for the home side as East closed the game with a 14-4 run.

In her two JV games, Davie outscored West Forsyth/East Forsyth 94-36.

Forsyth 25 - Lucy Portman 15, Gracyn Coleman 12, Mabyn Morris 6, Sarenity Miller 4, Zuria Turner 3, Zahmirah Summers 3, Audrina Bledsoe 2, Emily Hernandez 1. we play from here on out, especially these four (West, Tabor, East and Reagan), are championship games,” Pitt-man said. “And when you’re in first place, teams make their season by beating the first-place team.”Powers (11 points), Mick-ey (nine) and Erlandsson (seven) paced the scoring for Davie (13-4 overall). The War Eagles won the turnover battle (10-18), but were dominated on the glass (East 26 rebounds to Davie’s 15). East also shot the ball extremely well, going 22 of 38 for 57 percent. The visitors only attempted six 3s, hitting half of them. East is an imposing team that played to its strengths. “That’s a big team,” Pitt-man said. “At one point, they were 6-5 or taller across the frontline.”1,000-Point ClubAfter coming in with 991 career points, Powers joined a robust list by eclipsing 1,000 points. The others to reach the magic number for the Da-vie boys are Dwayne Grant (2,007 points from 1973-77), Duane Phillips (1,544 from 1996-00), Drew Ab-sher (1,460 from 2005-09), Shannon Dillard (1,387 from 2008-12), Nate Jones (1,348 from 2008-12), Sean Ste-vens (1,232 from 1998-02), Michael Walton (1,174 from 2015-19), Randall Ward (1,094 from 1963-67), Cody Martin (1,072 from 2010-13), Jingles Ijames (1,058 from 1966-70) and Cooper Wall (1,025 from 2014-18). Powers, who also sur-passed 800 career rebounds on thae night, cemented his spot in Davie lore by becom-ing the 12th male to hit the 1,000 mark in the school’s 69-year history. The kid who is quick with a smile, the kid with a sunny personal-ity, drew high praise from Pittman. “It’s a testament to his work and his grind over the last three years. And I’m su-per happy for him,” Pittman said. “If you’re a coach, you want a player like Jackson Powers all day long. He gives it all he’s got. He plays hurt, he plays sick, he plays tired. I feel blessed and honored to be able to be his coach for three years. He’s a guy that you can build a program around. I’m thankful for him - not just the basketball player but for the kid he is because he’s an amazing young man. He’s got a bright future and I know he’s going to be successful at whatever he does.”E.
