With a $100 million invest-ment, the company has added a sixth multibeam spunlaid produc-tion line and a laminate finishing line to its Mocksville facility, reinforcing its position as the world’s largest single producer of nonwoven fabric.During a recent ceremony marking the completion of the expansion, Diego Boeri, Fibers Executive President for Indorama Ventures, emphasized the signif-icance."We are celebrating a very im-portant moment in the life of this business.

Box 99, Mocksville, NC 27028 Cooleemee Journal 1901-1971 The Literary Corner: Renegade Writer’s Guild Hidden in Plain ViewBy: E. BishopSeptember, 2018 was a great time to take a road trip, except for the fact that Hurricane Florence came through North Carolina with a vengeance. Toward the end of our trip, we traveled through Kentucky stopping at several places. One of those included the FishTrap United Methodist Church in Paint Creek, Ky., one of the earliest log churches in the county. Noted for its simplic-ity and fine interior woodwork; it was covered with weatherboarding in the 19th century, had been heated with a potbellied wood stove and lit with kerosene lamps. Along with this structure, we visited a one room school show-casing many artifacts from the era it operated in which included a seat in the corner with a dunce hat. Both of these structures and their histo-ry are an integral part of American history as are quilts. Here, we also were introduced to the story of the Underground Railroad and how in-dividual quilts served as a guide for slaves fleeing to freedom. It would have taken much strength and courage for the 40,000 to 100,000 thousand slaves estimat-ed to have successfully escaped, mostly on their own, to places of safety whether they traveled north to Canada or south to Mexico. Did quilts help guide these escaped slaves to safety? Did different blocks have specific meanings to slaves, maybe based on their Af-rican past; were the patterns of stitches and knots indicative of routes to take? There are so many unanswered questions; reputable historians of quilts and of the Un-derground Railroad indicate there is insufficient evidence to support the case that quilts were actually used to help slaves escape. Some say this is a folk story that has been romanticized and it is hard to tell fact from fiction.But, one particular woman named Ozella McDaniel Williams, a South Carolina quilt vendor, told her stories that she claimed were handed down to her through fami-ly historians. A book, “Hidden in Plain View” written by Jacqueline L. Tobin and Raymond G. Do-bard, Ph.D. was written detailing Ozella’s stories through the quilt blocks. Ozella’s Underground Rail-road Quilt Code was the one we saw on display on our trip. Since I have made a few attempts at quilt making, I find more meaning in the history and designs of these blocks, whether the story told along with each design is real or not. Monkey Wrench - it is time to gather the tools needed for their journey. BowTie Quilt - dress in disguise to appear of higher status, or put on a change of clothes. Log Cabin - a secret symbol that could be drawn on the ground indicating that a person is safe to talk to; it also advises seeking shelter. Drunkard’s Path - create a zig-zag path, do not walk in a straight line to avoid pur-suers in this area. Shoofly - possibly identifies a friendly guide who is nearby and can help. Flying Geese - indicates the direction and timing of their escape - also a symbol of hope and helped slaves find safety and allies. Bear Paw - follow an animal trail through the mountains to find water and food. Crossroads - represented Cleveland, Ohio where many routes to freedom led. North Star - follow the North Star, Double Wedding Ring - now it is safe to re-move your chains and shackles.Is it possible that conclusions made without documentation can be the truth? There are believers and defenders of the quilt codings and the following statement is food for thought. “If people’s lives are at stake, it stands to reason that there would be no trace of the quilts.” Atlanta based quilt scholar Mary Twining-Baird argues. “Of course, there is no documentation! Literal-ly, if anyone found out they could lose their lives!” It appears the jury is still out on whether or not quilts helped in slaves’ journey to freedom like the Underground Railroad did. One thing for certain though, old churches, one room school houses, and possibly a quilt or two hanging on the line can show a strong bond of love for our heritage. Mocksville Historic DistrictBy Linda H. BarnetteWhen I was doing some re-search about First United Meth-odist Church, I read several arti-cles on the Town of Mocksville’s page about our historic district. In 1991 downtown Mocksville was accepted into what was known as the Main Street Program, part of the National Register of Historic Places. This program was especial-ly designed for towns with popula-tions under 5,000. Mr. Mando, the mayor at that time, received a letter on June 28, 1990, saying that the downtown district had been entered into the National Register of His-toric Places.There are over 100 properties in our historic district. It includes the original towns square and sev-eral other notable buildings. Some of the main ones are the old Davie County Courthouse (1916), the old county jail (1909), now the Flem-ing and Williams law office, as well as several other buildings that were originally businesses, including the Sanford store, the old Princess The-ater, the former Kurfees and Ward Pure Oil Company, the old South-ern Bank and Trust Company, now Skyline Bank.Several older houses are also on the list: the Anderson home, the Hanes, and the Nail house on North Main Street. First Methodist Church is on the list as was the old First Baptist Church.We have much to be proud of, and like Salisbury, there is money to be made here by taking advan-tage of our history. Fish Trap United Methodist Church in Paint Creek, Ky. Many believe that quilt patterns were used to guide slaves to freedom in the 1860s, including the patterns below. The Davie County Courthouse in a Mocksvi8lle Historic Dis- trict. To the editor:It is refreshing to hear a politi-cian speak candidly about issues of the day. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) told NOTUS that even though what Elon Musk is doing is unconstitu-tional, “nobody should bellyache about that.”He added: “That runs afoul of the Constitution in the strict-est sense. But it’s not uncommon for presidents to flex a little bit on where they can spend and where they can stop spending.”Excuse me, Senator, didn’t you swear an Oath to support and de-fend the Constitution?The problems I see are many but one of the most profound problems is the coup happening before our eyes. By not calling it a coup, the media have also permitted Amer-icans to view the regime’s refusal to follow the orders of the federal courts as a political response, albeit an extreme one, to judicial rulings that are at odds with what a presi-dent wants.To quote Robert Reich, “In sum, the regime’s disregard for laws and constitutional provisions surrounding access to private data, impoundment of funds appropriat-ed by Congress, and refusal to be bound by judicial orders amount to a takeover of our democracy by a handful of men who have no legal authority to do so.”“If this is not a coup d’etat, I don’t know what is.”Wake up media and call it like it is. And fellow voters, don’t believe this regime has a “mandate from the voters” to execute what they are doing. Trump did win the popular vote; Trump had 77 million votes or 49.8%. Harris had 75 million votes or 48.33%. Hardly a mandate.Christian AndersonMocksville Call it what it is: a coup Mail ... The Enterprise Record wel-comes letters from readers.

Davie Medical Center recognizes one of its nurses with this special honor twice a year. Each honoree re-ceives, a certificate, DAISY Award pin and a hand carved “A Healer’s Touch” stone sculpture.“My journey into nurs-ing started at a pretty young age,” said Wooten. “At 8 years old, I was very excit-ed about participating in the school talent show. I consid-ered myself to be a talented dancer and wanted to share my talent with the world. However, I missed my big break after a fast-paced run with my dog that ended with a visit to the emergency room. My injury resulted in a week of bed rest. My dreams mates.

She brought me a strawberry milkshake and stayed with me until I fell asleep. Her name was Darlene, and I will never for-get her kindness. Her simple gesture was so impactful. I eventually recovered from my grief and found true in-spiration and the work of my life as a nurse,” she said.“Wooten has many years of experience, and we very much appreciate her sharing it with our team and our pa-tients,” said Connie Palad-enech, Wooten’s manager. • The BEE Award recog-nizes nursing support team- her stroke,” Tallent said. “I found that I enjoyed taking care of others in their time of need. I was taught a long time ago to do unto others as you would have them do unto you by my grandpar-ents, so that is what I try to do when taking care of my patients. I do my best each day to treat my patients as if they were a family member,” she said. “Tallent receiving the BEE nomination is not a shock, said Tallent’s man-ager, Will Parker. “She has a kind, compassionate heart for all of the patients she comes in contact with. We are lucky to have her as part of our great care team.” Celebrating the Avgol expansion with a ribbon cutting ceremony are Jaharya Young; Sivan Yedidsion, Avgol CEO; Diego Boeri, Fibers Executive President; Will Marklin, Mocksville Mayor; Hector Mendoza; Ethan Pres- ton; Marques Holmes; Alex Beal. - Photos by Jeanna Baxter White 121 N.

Seating is lim-ited. Continued From Page 1Brannon said it was ap-propriate to read the entire resolution because of the “strong commitment by the board” on this matter. Key points included:• “Affecting the town’s implementation of its costly and statutorily required com-prehensive land use plan by severely limiting or prohib-iting town-initiated zoning and development standards.”• “Eliminating the author-ity of a local government to adopt a zoning text amend-ment applicable to nonresi-dential zoning districts and severely limiting authority of a local government to adopt regulations related to resi-dential zoning districts given the time, effort and cost of identifying all of the owners of parcels within such dis-tricts, and the implausibility that all owners will consent.” • “In short, the new law empowers a single property owner to override the will of a unanimous governing board, a developer, and per-haps all or a vast majority of the other property owners affected by the amendment.”Andrew Meadwell, town manager, said that other mu-nicipalities and counties have taken similar action. “I’m as-suming that as this starts to get out across the state, more jurisdictions will want on to tie on to this. This isn’t a Re-publican or Democrat issue. If you look at House Bill 24, it was bi-partisan. It’s a very wide-ranging impact to the state’s counties, towns and cities.”Brannon said he knew of municipalities that are also reaching out to their legislative contacts as well “through multiple channels getting that message of the huge impact this has on local governments.”• The council recognized community officer Mike Foster, who has been a con-stant presence in Bermuda Run for the past three years and will be transitioning to another position with the Da-vie County Sheriff’s Office, with a plaque for his dedica-tion to the town.“You go into a business, you can’t talk to a resident, you can’t go to a town event without running into Offi-cer Foster,” Brannon said. “It speaks volumes that his name is as known as any other individual in this town. It feels like he is part of our staff. His efforts have made a lasting impact on our com-munity, and we are proud to acknowledge his service.”The council:• Heard from Lennie Ring of Kilbourne Drive, who expressed his desire for the council to take action to improve the safety and security of the residents of Kinderton Village – primar-ily Kilbourne Drive – after events from the weekend of Feb. 8-9 at RISE and Fusion (Truist Sports Park). He said vehicles were parked in the streets and in the emergen-cy exit area and he believes there has to be a way to con-trol parking at these events, adding that the council is unaware or unconcerned be-cause they live behind the gates. • Heard from Meadwell in the manager’s comments that Duke Energy is in the process of updating to LED lights in the town. He added that RISE and NC Fusion have been contacted re-garding parking issues from events Feb. 8-9, adding that both are working to resolve the issue. • Received a presenta-tion from Cameron Webb, Davie County fire marshal and director of emergency management. He provided information regarding the county’s Hurricane Helene relief efforts and was joined by Benita Finney, county commissioner, who shared her appreciation for all who worked together to help neighboring communities. BR ... DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 20, 2025 - B1Sports By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record Second of two parts on new Davie head football coach Brian Hinson. When Brian Hinson got his first head job at East Rowan in 2007, a coaching star was born. A longtime laughingstock, East savored a 7-5 season in ‘07 like a first kiss. From 2000-06, the Mus-tangs went 16-61 under four head coaches and failed to beat a Rowan County rival from 2002-06. “My old principal got a call from Mr. (Michael) Pruitt and she said: ‘When he first came, he walks in, he’s mild-mannered, he’s nice and polite to everybody, calm and doesn’t get worked up too much. I was really wondering if he was going to be able to change and do this and handle these kids. The first time he walked out on the field, I heard Coach and I thought we were Hinson is a proven winner OK because it was like he flipped the switch and was a different person,’” Hinson, who will move from West Cabarrus to Davie in March, said. “If I’m going to do it, I’m going to go at it full speed, and I want it to be as good as it can be.”The Mustangs took their lumps in 2008, going 1-10, but Hinson had them believing in the impossible in 2009. A 9-4 season made East hearts jump out of their chests. “When I was a younger coach, I wanted to get into college coaching so bad that I didn’t appreciate what we did at East Rowan,” Hinson said. “But that nine-win season at East Rowan was really special. Those kids took so much pride in it. And when I see those guys now, they still have pride about what we did.”In that ‘09 season, the Mustangs tasted exhilarating glory when they beat South Brunswick 14-11 in over-time for their first playoff victory in 12 years. East has enjoyed one winning season in the 15 years since Hinson left Granite Quarry. “Davie County will not be dis-appointed,” said Mike Herndon, a longtime assistant under Hinson who is Davie’s winningest baseball coach with 211 wins from 1999-2012. “He’s a great leader of young men and coaches and the best X’s and O’s guy I have ever been around.”Gary Bass played football at Catawba and worked on Hinson’s staff at East Rowan. Now he’s the head coach at UVA-Wise. “I learned a ton,” Bass said. “I mean, one of the reasons why I think I’m a college head football coach is a testament to what I learned from him. First and foremost, understand-ing how to relate to your players, how to hold them accountable, but also how to make sure that you were good to them and took care of them. He did a phenomenal job of holding our kids accountable and getting the Please See Hinson - Page B3 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie girls basketball team is making plenty of history in 2024-25. • By taking care of Glenn and Reynolds last week, the War Eagles celebrated their first CPC champion-ship in 22 years. Thanks to West For-syth’s upset win over East Forsyth, Davie finished alone in first instead of sharing the crown with East. • At 17-6, the War Eagles own the most victories in nine years. • Their six-game winning streak is the longest in 10 years. When the final horn sounded at Reynolds, the coronation was five years in the making for coach Lindsey Adams, whose Davie teams have been climbing steadily, going 3-9, 9-14, 13-13 and 16-12 last year. Now Dave is basking in glory for the first time since 2002-03. When Adams made her way down the steps to the visitors locker room, total chaos broke out as she sprayed the players with a water bottle. “I wanted the girls to enjoy it,” she said. “They deserve to celebrate that. But as a coach, I’m thinking: ‘OK, now how do I get them to focus on (this) week because we are so young?’ So where’s the line of celebrating but also making sure we have the maturity to be able to focus on: ‘Hey, it’s not over yet.’”And then: “It didn’t really hit me that we are conference champions until I was in the car by myself. Then it was like: ‘Holy cow, we just won our first conference championship at a school that was 0-25 (in 2019-20).’”To no one’s surprise, Glenn and Reynolds were both severely over-matched. Davie 72, Glenn 39 West knocked off East 45-36, Davie took care of business in Kern-ersville and the War Eagles found themselves in sole possession of first place on Feb. 11. While Avarie Martin poured in 19 points at Glenn, she was helped by Davie’s typical balance. Londyn McDowell and Gracie Shore had eight each, and Makenzie Gentry and Emmie Burris had seven apiece. The Bobcats, who lost the first meeting 70-1, tumbled to 0-19. Davie 72, Reynolds 27 Davie’s clinical dissection of Reynolds on Feb. 14 in Winston-Sa-lem began immediately. Martin and Bailey Aderhold banged 3-pointers. Martin got a steal in the backcourt and laid it in. Burris scored in the lane. Shore got a steal and fed Vivian Vaughters for two. Gentry snatched a defensive rebound and went coast to coast for two. Madison Daugherty swished a triple. When Shore converted a drive to the hole, it was 19-0 and Davie had drained 8 of 11 shots, at which point Reynolds (5-17) was 0 for 2. Whew. At halftime, when it was 47-12, Davie was shooting 57 percent (19-33), compared to Reynolds’ 22 percent (5-22). Davie racked up 47 first-half points despite going 5 of 14 from the line. The mercy rule running clock started with 6:32 re-maining in the third, when the spread was 54-12. “I told them we are playing for something,” Adams said. “I said: ‘I don’t care if it’s Reynolds or East Forsyth, you have to prepare for every opponent the same exact way. This is something that hasn’t been done in 22 years. How you play tonight will mark your name in Girls win first title in 22 years Please See Title - Page B4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s wrestling team didn’t have a champ in the Midwest Re-gional and it didn’t claim the trophy for the second year in a row. But to see how the War Eagles performed in the consolation semifinals, which is also known as the blood round, was glorious. Davie hosted 25 teams on Feb. 14-15. The top three team scores: Hickory Ridge 200.5, Davie 188, Grimsley 149.5. The top four in each weight class punched their tickets to this week’s state tournament at the Greensboro Coliseum. The War Eagles turned in four runner-ups, two bronze medalists and three fourth places. Although they were shut out in the finals, they were electric in the do-or-die blood round, going 5-1, and they qualified nine guys, or one more than they did last year when they won the state individual title. “I feel like we could have had a champ or two, but ultimately I’m really happy with the guys that made it through,” coach Josh Stanley said. At 120, sophomore Aidan Sze-wczyk went 3-1 with two pins and a tech fall. Although he suffered his first loss of the season in the finals, he advanced to the state for the sec-ond time with a 21-1 record. “Aidan has been beat up and he’s had a really tough time maintaining his weight because he can’t really do anything,” Stanley said. “He’s fighting a hamstring injury. It’s the first time seeing him move again like he can. He’s just been surviving the last week or two and doing what he could.”At 126, senior Cayden Glass had two pins and a major decision, qualified for the state for the third time and improved his record to 42-5. At 144, junior Andy Davis rolled up two techs and a pin, reached the state for the second time and ran his record to 22-4. And at 150, junior El-liott Gould had two pins and a major, qualified for the state for the second year in a row and pushed his record 9 wrestlers punch ticket to state Please See Ticket - Page B5 Brian Hinson has led turnarounds at three schools.

She turned in a ma-chine-like time of 1:02.26 in the 100 breaststroke. She broke her own school record - again - and finished third. It probably can’t get too cooler than that for a ninth grader. “(Her swim) was just in-credible,” coach Tak Hirata said. “She stuck to her own swim and executed the race perfectly. She had an amaz-ing freshman season. I don’t think there was a key meet that she didn’t improve every time she swam. At her level, that’s just difficult to do. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie boys have post-ed a winning record every year since 2017-18, and even though they will graduate their top three scorers (Elliott Erlandsson 10.1 ppg, Bryson Mickey 10, Jackson Powers 9.4), things should be no different in 2025-26 when coach Josh Pittman blends the varsity returners with JV guys like Aiden Horton, Cam Knox, William Martin and Justin Haggler. The JV War Eagles dis-mantled lowly Glenn, 61-22, in Kernersville on Feb. 11. Horton scored 21, giving him 44 in two games, as Davie outscored the Bobcats (1-12) 43-13 in the middle quarters. Haggler turned in a season-high 17, while Martin and Knox chipped in eight each. The War Eagles handled Reynolds 65-53 in the first meeting, but Noah Dulin and Draeton Nance combined for 32 points in the Jan. 17 game. With Dulin and Nance playing varsity, the Demons beat visiting Davie 50-44 in the final JV game on Feb. 14. With Haggler, Knox, Hor-ton, Carter Cornett and Jayce Bentley alternating baskets, the War Eagles burst to a 14-6 lead in the first quarter. They still led by seven at halftime, but the Demons controlled the second half and won going away. Martin (11), Horton (10) and Haggler (nine) were the JV boys finish strong with 17-win season top scorers in the loss. It was a very good sea-son for the War Eagles, who finished 17-6 overall and 9-5 in the CPC. The top three scorers were Horton (12.5 ppg), Martin (6.4) and Hag-gler (5.3). “When these guys are juniors and seniors, they’re going to really be able to put their imprint on this pro-gram,” Pittman, the third-year Davie varsity coach, said. Pittman on Horton: “I think he’s a solid shooter. I think for him to be effective with what we need, he’s going to have to be a lot more ag-gressive on the defensive end and he’s going to have to get a little bit stronger so he can rebound the ball at the three position. If he can do those two things, I think he’ll really help us. I’ve got big hopes for him because I know he’s a hard worker. Now it’s just about polishing up and doing the little things like getting stronger, getting quicker, getting a little bit more ag-gressive on the defensive end, wanting to stop somebody. If he does those things, we’ll be in business because that’ll be another solid piece.”On Knox: “I hope he comes in as a guy that’s ready to defend, that dives on the floor, that really gets after it and has the right attitude. That’s what I’ve seen from him, and I’ve seen it a little bit more now that he’s playing without Dre and Noah. He can really be that guy, especially when we’re pressing or we’re pushing up or we’re down and we’ve got to change the rhythm of the game. He’s a solid offensive player as well.”On Martin: “Billy will be ready to play up next year just with his energy and his effort. I think his effort is unmatched on both varsity and JV. I’ve never seen a kid who can go in and can get 3-5 rebounds in a minute and a half at the varsity level as a freshman.”On Haggler: “Billy and Justin have an opportunity to come up next year and get some quality minutes. Justin is a lethal shooter. He has been up and down a little bit this year, but he has a knack for scoring the ball. He just has to get a little bit stronger and a little bit faster, which I think he’ll be able to do in our offseason program.”Davie 61, Glenn 22 - Aid-en Horton 21, Justin Haggler 17, William Martin 8, Cam Knox 8, Edarius Oliver 3, Ian Patton 2, Weston Barefoot 2.

Coach Chad (Zuleger) knows exactly what she needs, and clearly it’s working for them. As decorated as she is in the world of swimming, it’s been fun watching her get excited about high school swimming, enjoy being part of this team and sharing a little bit of her talent with the group. For year-round swimmers like Sky and Zach (Hirata), it’s about representing the school, putting the school’s name on the map and having fun with their friends doing so.”Zuleger’s magnificent run in 2024-25 included winning the CPC breaststroke to be-come the first Davie female to win a league title in 12 years, taking second in the CPC in the 50 free and claiming first in the breast in the regional. She’s the No. 1 freshman breaststroker in the state af- ter finishing behind a pair of juniors in Cary. The two girls in front of her had times of 1:00 and 1:01. “When I finished the race at states, I definitely was sur-prised with my placement,” Zuleger said. “I knew that I could do it. I just didn’t really know what to expect going into it, considering it’s not just competing in a 13-14 age group - it’s open all the way up to 18 years old. So my ex-pectations definitely weren’t to get third, but I was super happy with it.”The heartbeat of the Davie boys team, Hirata, competed in two events at the state. The sophomore was 19th in the 100 back and 20th in the 100 butterfly. He dazzled all season en route to his second state appearance (last year he qualified on a relay team). He was the CPC champion in the 200 free for the second time, he was second in the CPC in the 100 back for the second year in a row, and he placed eighth and ninth in the regional in the butterfly and back, respectively. “For us to have two in-dividual state qualifiers was exciting,” coach Hirata said. “It was a very fast regional and even faster state. We have a young core group of swimmers returning that we have the opportunity to con-tinue to grow and develop, and we’re slowly changing the swim culture around here. They’re starting to recognize that swimming is no longer a seasonal sport and to be com-petitive they’ll need to put in the time required outside of high school season. Beyond that, this group has shown us that they know the meaning of hard work, respect, hu-mility and gratitude. And to us, that’s just as important as swimming fast, and we are proud of this group for recognizing it. We had a great season with a lot of growth from all of our swimmers and we look forward to them ac-complishing some big things in the next couple of years.” Zuleger 3rd in state with breaststroke The third round of realign-ment was released last week, and it appears Davie is headed to a new conference.If this is the final draft, Da-vie’s new league rivals will be Lake Norman, Mooresville, Statesville, South Iredell and North Iredell.

He joined David Bennett’s staff at Coastal Carolina in 2002, spent three years in Conway, S.C., and helped the Chanticleers win a Big South Conference cham-pionship. After spending five years at East Rowan, includ-ing assistant roles in 2005 and 2006, Hinson went back to the college level as Catawba’s offensive line coach from 2010-16. His second head-coach-ing stop was at Salisbury. Before Hinson arrived, the Hornets were wobbling all over the place, going 11-35 from 2013-16 after managing just one winning season in the 1990s. He inherited a 3-8 team and turned heads with a 7-4 mark in 2017. “He understands the entire game, how to motivate peo-ple and bring people togeth-er,” Bennett said. “Brian’s got a gift of bringing people together for a common goal.”“As far as a football mind, he’s extremely intelligent,” Bass said. “He’s a phenom-enal teacher. He knows as well as anybody that it’s not what you know, it’s what everybody knows.”After finishing 7-5 in his second year in 2018, Hinson developed the Hornets into a monster. In 2019, they went 13-3 and finished second in the state in 2AA. They took Hinson ... By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie boys basketball team generated momentum for this week’s CPC Tourna-ment by taking down Glenn and Reynolds in the final games of the regular season. The three-point win at Reynolds was a dogfight that saw Davie overcome a pair of 10-point deficits. The hero was Jackson Powers, who scored the last seven points for the visitors. “Reynolds was up 18 on Reagan and ended up beating them by 12 at Reagan,” coach Josh Pittman said. “I mean, that’s not a bad team. It was a big win and I think it was a big confidence booster, too.”Davie 63, Glenn 42 Davie never let the Bob-cats have any hope in Kern-ersville on Feb. 11. The fresh-men, who seem to get better every game, led the way. Noah Dulin had 12 points on 6-of-9 shooting, four dunks and six rebounds. It was his third straight game in double figures. “His defensive intensity is what gives him the op-portunity to be really good,” Pittman said. Draeton Nance came off the bench for 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting. That gave UNC Asheville honored a program legend on Feb. 15, retiring Josh Pittman’s No. 4 jersey between the women and men’s basketball games. “Josh was a sophomore my first year at Asheville, and I was shocked at how naturally talented he was,” said Eddie Biedenbach, who coached UNC Asheville from 1996-2013. “He led us the next year with his scoring and his play. The best part about him was that he was a great teammate and a great leader.”Pittman, Davie’s third-year coach, played at Ashe-ville from 1994-98. He be-came the first Bulldog to ever be named Big South Player of the Year in 1997 as a junior. He was then named Big South Player of the Year in 1998 as well. He became just the sec-ond player in league history to repeat as Big South Player of the Year. He completed his career with 1,547 points, which at the time made him the school’s third all-time leading scorer and leading Division I scorer. He is cur-rently eighth in that category. Pittman also completed his career as the program’s all-time leader in steals with 175. He is now fifth all-time in steals. He helped lead UNC Asheville to the program’s first ever Big South Confer-ence regular-season titles in both 1997 and 1998. In 1997, the Bulldogs were a preseason pick to finish in sixth place in the league but led by Pittman, Asheville finished first for the first time in school history. He helped lead the Dogs to their best Division-I record at the time at 18-10, which included a win over South Carolina, which would win the SEC that season. Pittman led the Big South in scoring in 1998 with an 18.4 average, becoming the first Bulldog to ever lead the league in scoring. Asheville was 24-4 in league games during Pittman’s final two seasons. In addition, he was a first-team all-conference per-former his final two years and made the Big South All-Tour-nament team twice. He was elected to the UNC Asheville Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010 and the Big South Hall of Fame the same year. He became the first UNC Asheville men’s basket-ball player to be enshrined in the Big South Hall of Fame. He graduated from UNC Asheville in 1998 and was the first Bulldog to ever be invited to the prestigious Portsmouth Invitational following the season. He received an in-vitation to the Los Angeles Lakers training camp before settling for a successful 17-year professional career in Europe and South America, where he was named league MVP three times.“This is a tremendous honor for Josh and for our men’s basketball program,” Director of Athletics Janet R. Cone said. “To have your number retired anywhere is an unbelievable accomplishment and we are proud of his time as a Bulldog.”Pittman’s tryout with the Lakers never materialized. “I never had the chance to go,” he said last week. “If you remember, 1998 was the year of the lockout. Mitch Kupchak called my mom and said there’s going to be a lockout so I’m not gonna be able to talk. So I went to Argentina with a new agent. With me being young and naive, I just went back over there for the next three years, I was making good money and I didn’t think anything of it. But I never got a chance to (try out for a NBA team). It was one of those things that I tell the kids that you don’t get do-overs and sometimes you wish you could.”One of Pittman’s favor-ite moments in college was dunking on Arizona star Miles Simon. “I held my own against some big-time players, guys like Paul Pierce and Mike Bibby,” he said. “We played (Bibby, Simon and Arizona) in ‘98. That’s the game that I made SportsCenter for the first time because I dunked on Miles Simon.” 6319 Cook Ave, Suite 208 | Clemmons, NC 27012 336-766-6488 cooleyroofing.com Siding Roofing Windows Local, Trusted, Quality Services Under One Roof • Free Estimates • Over 30 Years Experience DAVIE COUNTYSPORTS PHOTOS by Marnic Lewis • High School Sports • Youth Sports • Rec.

You’ve got to know who’s supposed to be where and what they’re supposed to be doing because you’re an extension (of the coach) on the court.”Ethan Driver put up a nice line: nine points, six rebounds, five assists. Elliott Erlandsson and Jackson Pow-ers had eight points each. See-ing Powers back on the floor after sitting out one game with an injury was a big deal with the season heading toward the stretch drive. “Jackson got back in the grind and got in some good minutes,” Pittman said of career 1,000-plus scorer/800-plus rebounder. “He’s starting to feel a little bit better, so I’m optimistic. I think we’ve got a chance to get ourselves right.”Davie 62, Reynolds 59The final regular-season game at Reynolds on Feb. 14 was a rollercoaster. Dulin’s 3-ball provided an 11-6 lead, but the teams would have ties at 11-11, 14-14 and 16-16. Then the War Eagles looked shaky when they fell behind 26-16. But Davie fought back at the end of the first half. Driver and Dulin sandwiched triples around an Isaac Swish-er bucket. Dulin grabbed an offensive rebound and made a nice dish to a slashing Driver, who laid it in to cut the half-time deficit to 28-26. “I can deal with mistakes,” Pittman said. “I don’t mind mistakes when you’re playing hard. You can shoot an air ball. If you’re playing hard and you’re being coachable, we’re going to have a chance to win the game.”The Demons surged at the outset of the third and opened a 38-28 lead. But Davie came back again. Powers’ inside basket ignited a 14-2 run that was capped by Driver’s steal and lefthanded finger roll and Erlandsson’s close-range bucket that gave Davie a 42-40 lead. When Bryson Mickey got a steal and passed to Nance for a 3-pointer, Davie was fired up with a 54-46 lead. “(Nance’s energy) is re-freshing and it’s contagious because I can see other kids buying into it,” said Pittman, who is 55-21 in three years at Davie. Talk about showing some fight, the Demons responded with a 13-3 run of their own, and they held a 59-57 lead with 2:46 to go. Powers rose to the occa-sion. The big guy tipped in his own miss to tie it at 59. Powers took a pass from Mickey and swished a 3 for a 62-59 lead at :51. Reynolds (7-17) was about to attempt a potential tying 3, but the Demon ball handler stepped out of bounds at :04 and Davie had its sixth win over Reynolds in seven tries. “Jackson is starting to get his rhythm back,” Pittman said. “He had an excellent fourth quarter. He scored seven straight right there in the clutch.”Powers (11 points, 4 as-sists) was the closer, but Driv-er (13 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists), Mickey (13 points, 4 assists) and Dulin (9 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals) were equally crucial to the outcome. And then you had Nance (8 points) and Erlands-son (6 points, 5 rebounds). Notes: Reynolds shot a better percentage, but Davie won the turnover (14-3) and rebound battles (30-24). ... Davie finished fourth in the CPC. The standings: West Forsyth 13-1, Mt. Tabor 11-3, East Forsyth 10-4, Davie 9-5, Reagan 6-8, Reynolds 4-10, Parkland 3-11, Glenn 0-14. ... Davie (16-7) entered the CPC Tournament on a three-game winning streak. College retires Pittman’s jersey that final step in the covid-de-layed 2021 spring season, go-ing 9-2 and capturing the 2AA state championship. The next season, fall of 2021, they were 11-0 before falling in the third round of the playoffs. That was a soul-crushing squad that outscored opponents 53-5 on average. Hinson was the head foot-ball coach as well as athletic director. After the 2021 sea-son, he gave up football and remained AD. “I made the mistake of giving up football and not giv-ing up AD,” he said. “When I had no football, I was miser-able. I hid it because I didn’t want my kids to know that. But we were sitting at home one night and my kids said: ‘Dad, we miss you coaching football.’ And I said: ‘Well, hold on now, we can change this.’”West Cabarrus opened in 2020 and finished 3-4, 3-7 and 0-10 in its first three seasons. After sitting out one year, Hinson was itching for football and he took over a program that was some-thing beneath hopeless. West Cabarrus went 0-10 in 2022 and got outscored 432-76. The Wolverines’ 1-9 re- cord in Hinson’s first season in 2023 was deceiving; they were highly competitive in 21-20, 21-20, 26-23 and 35-28 defeats. “When I interviewed (at Davie), I said if you just look at my overall record (70-49) and look at some of the sea-sons I’ve had, people are not blown away by it,” he said. “And I understand that. But I’ve taken over situations that not a lot of people were interested in taking over. I’ve never shied away from a challenge. “(In 2023) we lost four games by a total of 12 points. I mean, the kids were competing and giving everything they had.”Last fall the Wolverines suffered a four-game losing streak, but fans could scarcely believe it when they won four of five and whipped Hickory Ridge 38-14 in the first round of the playoffs, marking the first postseason dub in the program’s five-year history. The 5-6 season ended with a 21-20 loss at Northern Guilford. “The thing that’s awesome is seeing the kids start to take pride in what they’re doing and seeing them be success-ful,” he said. “Their posture changes, their attitude chang-es. I mean, athletics matters in the high school and the community.”Now Hinson is ready to build a staff at Davie and breathe new life in the War Eagles following a rough 3-7 season in 2024. “I truly believe we’re go-ing to be able to have a really, really good football staff,” he said. “But it’s going to be a process.” Bennett and Bass will tell you Davie is getting a fantastic coach who is also a wonderful guy. “He can coach with any-body, and I think he loves proving that,” Bennett said. “Some of the best years (Ca-tawba) had, Brian was the of-fensive line coach. Whatever he was going to do - coaching, business, a doctor, a lawyer, whatever he would have cho-sen to do - he was going to be good at it.”“He was a phenomenal player and he’s a phenomenal coach,” Bass said. “And he’s an even better man. Those kids are going to be very lucky to have him. I can as-sure you of this: They are very lucky to have him because he does things the right way.” Cambridge CreekApartments 268 Milling RoadMocksville, NC 27028 We Invite You to Stop By! 1&2 Bedroom Apartments Accessible Units Rent is based on income Rental Assistance Available Please Call: 336-751-5128 TDD/TYY# 1-800-735-2962 This Institution is an Equal Opportunity Providerand Employer The Glen APARTMENTS 300 Milling RoadMocksville, NC 27028 We Invite You to Stop By! 2 & 3 Bedroom Apartments Accessible Units Rent is based on income Rental Assistance Available A HUD property Please Call: 1-336-751-2070 TDD/TYY#: 711 This Institution is anEqual OpportunityProvider and Employer Brian Hinson has a word with the referee while coaching at Salisbury.

B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Feb. 20, 2025 Selma Burke rocked the Ellis girls basketball team by 20 in the first meeting, but Ellis gave the visiting Bears a serious run before falling short, 21-18 in overtime, on Feb. 11. South Davie struggled mightily on offense and lost 21-5 to visiting Mooresville on Feb. 11. Ellis beat North Davie in January, but the Wildcats returned the favor on Feb. 13, getting 11 points from Khia Bohannon and winning 27-15 over the visiting Jaguars. Graham Wood posted a season high in scoring as the Ellis boys basketball team toppled visiting Selma Burke, 40-31, on Feb. 11. The Jaguars held a 16-15 halftime lead thanks to Wood’s 11 first-half points. They carried a 26-22 lead into the fourth and pulled away be-hind the Will Hileman/Wood duo. Wood hit double figures for the fifth time on the way to 17 points. Hileman was next with 12. Moor 40, South 29South Davie couldn’t keep up with visiting Mooresville All-CPC selections • Eight guys from Davie’s boys wrestling team made the all-CPC team, including Graylan Anderson, Cayden Glass, Tiaj Thao, Jamarius Pelote, Ryder Strickland, Elliott Gould, Max McCall and Maddox Creason. Davie went 7-0 to win the CPC title. • Davie’s girls wrestling team went 4-6 overall, 4-3 in the CPC and finished fourth out of eight league teams. Making all-conference were Kiera Hinson and LillyAnne Simmons. • Cooper Williams won the CPC shot put title, Austin Sweet captured the pole vault and they were joined on the indoor track all-conference team by Thomas Essic, who was second in the 3200. Two War Eagles at UVA-Wise Next year Davie will have two football players at UVA-Wise. Running back Markel Summers will be a redshirt fresh-man, and defensive back Connor Hood will be a true freshman. “Markel’s got a little bit of a back injury right now,” Wise coach Gary Bass said. “He redshirted this past fall. We’re try-ing to get him healthy, but he’s doing fine. He’s working hard. He’s a good kid. I don’t know how much he’ll play this year because we’ve got two backs who are pretty stinking good.” Continued From Page B1Davie County history, and it’s up to you how you want to go get that.’”Davie can beat you any which way. Martin had 14 points. Aderhold scored 11, hit three 3s and handed out three assists. McDowell scored 11. Burris compiled 10 points and seven rebounds. Daugherty had six points and four assists. Vaughters had six points and four rebounds. Gentry put together five points, five rebounds, four assists and three steals. Lexi Mickey had five points and three assists. Shore contrib-uted two points, four assists and three steals. “From No. 1 to the 10th girl, they could all go on multiple teams in our confer-ence, or even the state, and be starters or a leading scorer or a leading rebounder or lead in steals,” Adams said. “We don’t know who it’s going to be any given night. When your number is called, be ready. It takes all 10 to pull out big wins and continue being successful.”Notes: The CPC stand-ings: Davie 12-2, East 11-3, Reagan 9-5, Mt. Tabor 8-6, Parkland 7-7, West 6-8, Reyn-olds 3-11, Glenn 0-14. ... This is Davie’s first title since Kar-en Stephens’ 2002-03 team was powered by Sarah Wil-liams (14.5 ppg), Dawn Sin-gleton (12.2), Allison Schafer (9.5) and Heather McDaniel (7.3). ... Davie has the most wins since the 2014-15 team went 18-7. ... The six-game winning streak is the longest since an eight-gamer in 2014-15. That team was coached by Dave Ruemenapp and led by Madison Zaferatos, Ashlyn Hampton and Aubri-ana Peebles. ... Davie’s deep Title ... reservoir is reflected in the top scoring averages: Martin 14.1, Shore 8, Aderhold 7.6, Gentry/Burris 6.8, Vaughters 5.7, McDowell 5.4, Daugh-erty 4.1. “Everybody on the team knows they can shoot at any time as long as it’s a good shot,” Adams said. With a laugh, she added: “If it’s a bad shot and it goes in, they know I’m not going to say anything.”Davie 72, Glenn 39 - Avarie Martin 19, Londyn McDowell 8, Gracie Shore 8, Makenzie Gentry 7, Emmie Burris 7, Bailey Aderhold 6, Vivian Vaughters 5, Madison Daugherty 3, Lexi Mickey 2, Olivia Smith 2.

The Tigers were paced by Khari McClelland and Jordan Nance, who had 8 points each. Ellis 39, North 35 The first Ellis-North Davie meeting was a 43-19 trucking for the Jaguars. When North hosted Ellis Feb. 13, the Jag-uars had to scratch and claw for the narrow victory. Even though North slipped to 4-7, coach Caleb Davis came away encouraged. “We battled hard. “We went into the game with a game plan of slowing down Hunter (Hough) from deep and attacking the paint and post offensively. We had a slow second quarter but we played our best basketball of the season in the second half. We gave ourselves a chance, but struggles at the free-throw line (7 of 24) held us back.”After trailing 25-14 at halftime, the Wildcats put up a fight. Justin Green followed a scoreless first half with an eight-point third that helped North cut the margin to 31-28. Green put in 7 more in the fourth, but Ellis held on despite going 4 of 12 from the foul line in the final 6 minutes. Wood (13 points) and Hough (12) lifted the Jaguars, who have won three of four, to 6-5. North hung tough behind Green (15 points, 9 rebounds), Jacob Self (10 points) and Jackson Powell (8 points, 5 rebounds). “The fight and effort from these boys was the best we’ve had all year, diving for loose balls, winning 50/50 balls and aggressively rebounding,” Davis said. “It was like it finally clicked, which was great to see. We had to open a fresh box of Band-Aids after this one.”On the road on Feb. 13, South Davie defeated Selma Burke to stop a three-game losing streak. The Tigers entered the week 4-7.

Glass, Davis and Gould joined Szewczyk as sec-ond-place finishers. “Every single day, Elliott is getting better,” Stanley said. “I am so pumped to see what he does next weekend.”At 132, junior Tiaj Thao went 4-1, punched his ticket for the third time and moved to 35-5. Senior Ryder Strick-land went 4-1 at heavyweight. Both had brilliant winning streaks snapped in the semi-finals - Thao and Strickland had won 23 and 22 straight, respectively - before taking third place. Strickland, who is 44-2, redeemed himself after ab-sorbing a gut-wrenching 9-8 loss in the 2024 blood round. “It’s the first time Ryder cracking through to states, and that was really cool for us to see,” Stanley said. “His dad’s been a part of the pro-gram forever. With Ryder’s brother (Hunter), they’ve been around for 10 years.”Finishing fourth with 3-2 efforts were sophomore Jack 132 Interstate Drive Mocksville, NC 27028 (336) 753-8473 Hours: Mon. - Fri. 7:30 - 5:30 MockBerothTire.com 11 LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU!

Bost at 113, senior Brett Foster at 138 and junior Mad-dox Creason at 190. It’s the second state appearance for Foster, and Creason’s pin in the consolation semis was a feel-good moment after he fell in the 2024 blood round. “Jack is wrestling amaz-ing,” Stanley said. “He knocked off the two seed with a tech fall. He is starting to believe it.“A Glenn kid teched (Creason) the other week, and Maddox teched that kid today. Maddox’s turnaround was amazing. The guy he lost to in the semifinals is one of the best guys in the state. He looked really amazing. In the consolation semifinals, he was on his back at one point and looked really bad. He fought out of it and came back and pinned the kid. That was what we needed to see out of him at the right time. I’m pumped for Maddox, too.”Davie’s only hiccup in the blood round was at 165, where Jamarius Pelote lost after winning three of his first four matches. He’ll have one more shot after a 33-12 junior season. “That was such a great round,” Stanley said of Da-vie’s 5-1 performance in the consolation semis. “You know how intense that is and how much it means to the kids. We were running mat to mat in that blood round and the kids just kept pulling it out and kept pulling it out. It’s a testament to the work they are putting in in the room and the level they’re pushing their cardio. They can gut it out and they’re believing in themselves.”Freshman Graylan Ander-son went 2-2 at 106 and failed to qualify, but man was he gritty while battling sickness. He had a major and a pin, and one of his losses was a forfeit. “Graylan went to the hos-pital Friday night,” Stanley said. “He was six pounds underweight and he had been throwing up. He wasn’t run-ning a fever, but he couldn’t hold anything down. (He had to forfeit in the quarterfinals because) his whole body turned into one big cramp. Every single muscle in his body was cramped up, so he had to forfeit the second round and they sent him to the hospital. He came back and got a pin.”Notes: Bost is 32-13, Foster 27-10 and Creason 26-13. ... Anderson closed his ninth-grade year at 25-16. Carter Hoots went 2-2 at 157 and wrapped up a 25-7 freshman season. Senior Max McCall went 1-2 at 175 and bowed out with a 20-14 record. ... Last year Davie won the regional with 197 points to Hickory Ridge’s 145.5. “Hickory Ridge got eight (state qualifiers) and we got nine - but they had more champs,” Stanley said. ... The War Eagles are shooting for their third title in the state individuals. They won it in 1995, and last year they car-ried eight to Greensboro and triumphed with 100 points to Lumberton’s 96. “I’m not sure that anybody got more than nine except for Hough,” Stanley said. “I think they got 10, but we have as good a chance as anybody (this) weekend.” Aidan Szewczyk finished second at 120. - Photos by Ashley Bowden Freshman Graylan Anderson in a match at 106. Cayden Glass picked up three wins en route to second at 126. Ryder Strickland was third at 285. Andy Davis won three times to take 2nd at 144. Maddox Creason advanced to the state at 190.
