USPS 149-160 Number 10 Thursday, March 6, 2025 16 Pages 75¢ State Champs War Eagle wrestlers bring home top prize 89076 3821260Page B1 By Bridgett DillardDavie Commuunity Foundation It was a chance for a free college ride to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.All Davie County High School seniors had to do was be accepted on the first round to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.On Tuesday, Feb. 18, 14 of those seniors and their families gath-ered at Cognition’s Makerspace for the highly-anticipated drawing of the Diana Springer Scholarship, administered by the Davie Com-munity Foundation. The foundation’s senior program officer, Melissa O’Connor, welcomed everyone and shared the history of the scholarship that brought everyone together for the evening.The scholarship is a gift from David and Diana Springer to stu-dents who attend UNC-Chapel Hill with covered tuition and fees for four years. Though Diana never had the opportunity for a for-mal education herself, she and David were passionate advocates for Sadie Line, Sean Lane and Raelyn Lankford (not pictured) are happy to win the draw for the Diana Springer Scholarship for a full ride Trio wins draw for full scholarships to UNC-Chapel Hill Please See Springer - Page 5 By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record Carole Morse has had a dog by her side for most of her life.At about age 50, her dog of some 10 years died.She was living in the District of Columbia, and decided she didn’t need a 100-pound dog to take care of. So she did what most people would do; she turned to Google, and typed in the attributes she wanted in a dog.Up popped the Australian Terrier.Now, Morse, of Advance, is the owner of several Australian Terriers - including George - the newest best of breed in the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club annual dog show.When George was born, Morse knew she had a special dog.“When he was little, I just knew,” she said. “He has this most beguiling look. It touches your heart, and he does so well showing.”It took more than just a cute look to win the big prize. The dogs are judged for size, coat, gait, personality ... if it’s part of the dog, it is judged. George has those Jacqueline Johnson shows George, the Westminster Kennel Club newest best of breed Australian Terrier. - Photo courtesy Carole Morse Zoom and Buster wake up from naps to get a treat from Carole Morse in her Advance office. - Photo by Mike Barnhardt By George, he’s got it Westminster winner calls Advance home Please See George - Page 4 By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record If you don’t agree with your property tax valuations sent last month by Davie County, file and appeal.And be patient.That was the advice from County Commissioner Terry Renegar, who on Monday said he had been hearing from plenty of residents.“I’ve gotten several calls about the notice you received on revaluation,” he said. “We’re working through that. I would ask everyone to take a deep breath and understand we are aware of the situation and the tax depart-ment is working really hard to get us some numbers. And use the appeals process (Details were included with the reval notices.). And just be patient.”The county tax base values property every four years, with the goal of establishing fair mar-ket values.One resident said the county changed the way it looks at prop-erties: taking older buildings and valuing them on 1990 values. They said their property value on a 1920 house over the years went from $70,000 to $50,000 - than with the most recent value mailed last month - $220,000.Others in that situation can contact the tax department, which can send people out to inspect the individual property to help deter-mine the true value.Appraisers divided the county into approximately 215 apprais-al neighborhoods. Appraisers reviewed properties and market information including recent sales win these neighborhoods. A “Uniform Schedule of Values” was used to evaluate properties using the same standards to main-tain fairness and equity. Tax value issue?

BishopThe month of March symbolizes so much as we transition from win-ter to spring. I think I can speak for a great number of people that we all look forward to the rebirth and renewal that this season brings. We start to see crocuses and tulips peek-ing through the frozen ground just waiting to brighten our day know-ing that spring and warmer weather is on its way. This entire month is also an important time to honor the achievements and contributions of women through the years. March 8 in particular is a dedicated day set aside to celebrate women.Why the 8th? Because, on March 8, 1857, a protest by hundreds of women in the New York City garment and textile factories starting protesting their harsh working conditions. Of course, it took many years before any real changes were made. But, across many cities in the U.S. and even worldwide, things began to slowly change for better working conditions and better pay for wom-en. The slogan for Women’s Day is ‘empowered women, empower the world’ hopefully allowing women a stronger voice in society.Maya Angelou (author, poet, activist) once said: “Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, with-out claiming it, she stands up for all women.” Another quote by an American author and activist, Al- take until 2158, which is roughly five generations from now, to reach full gender parity. With current events, I see this year being extend-ed way farther into the future.How ironic is this? Last year’s (2024) women’s day theme was “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion” recognizing women who have ded-icated their lives to promoting eq-uity and diversity in all aspects of life. The International Theme 2024 was “Invest in Women. Accelerate progress.” Everyone needs to take a good look at how doing away with these principles can have a profound effect on the least fortu-nate among us. In my younger days working for a state agency that helped disabled individuals find jobs, I saw firsthand how discrim-ination played a part in their lives. Let’s don’t go backwards.“Moving Forward, together, Women Educating and Inspiring Generations” is the 2025, March 8 theme with the international day theme being ‘Accelerate Actions.’ Let’s go forward, women and men collectively, to keep the mo-mentum for equality in all aspects of our lives. Wear these colors in the month of March to show your support: Purple which symbolizes dignity, honor, justice, royalty to the cause; Green that represents hope, growth and new beginnings; and White signifying equality, free-dom, purity and truth. Slave Cemetery Dedication at CenterBy Linda H. BarnetteMy family connection with Center Methodist Church goes back several generations. It was at Joel Penry’s home that a group of people met in 1830 and who in 1833 were deeded 2 acres of land for what became the church. My Penry and Dwiggins ancestors were among the first members and trust-ees of the church.My great-grandfather, William Joel Franklin Dwiggins, who lived on Church Street, had the little leather class book that was used in Agnes Hampton and Dorothy Graham at the dedication of the slave cemetery at Center Church. ice Walker, suggests that believing you lack power can actually limit your ability to take action or make a change. “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” Men, particularly white men, in general as a group, wield the most power, control the most resources in most societies, dominate work life through leadership roles, etc. The Norwegian Business School states that gender differences are often the differences in power. In an article I read from the World Economic Forum, it states that at the current rate of progress, it will the early days of the church, and he left it to my grandmother, Blanche Dwiggins Smith, who eventually gave it to the church in 1980 as part of the 150th anniversary celebra-tion.I saw the book many times and knew that it was a treasured posses-sion of Mama’s. The first entry was made in 1836 and contained the names of the trustees, and in 1844 a list of all of the church members was included. Slaves were also members of many early churches, including Center, and their names were also in the book. Many years later, in October of 1998, thanks to a gift from church members, the Women of the Church marked the old slave cemetery with a stone angel and benches. A special service was held during the Sunday service to dedicate the cemetery, and Dorothy Graham was the guest speaker.Although the individual graves are not marked, the names were taken from the little leather book previously mentioned. Names were listed as Frost’s Moses, Penry’s Parthenia, and Dwiggins’s Malisa, Wilson, and Rachael.It is thought that the last burial there was George Frost in 1896. His granddaughters, Agnes Hamp-ton and Louise Ijames, were Mr. Frost’s grandchildren and attended the dedication.I think that was a very nice thing to do.

She just loves dogs and is an expert at handling. Once he comes home, I’ll show him again. That’s the goal.”His life isn’t too bad in Wisconsin. He has a tread-mill. He goes to the doggie chiropractor. He gets regular massages. He is groomed every couple of weeks. “He’s kind of spoiled, but it’s all to keep him in top condition. They (show judges) have a definite outline they’re look-ing for.”George, of course, isn’t his full name. Between all of the earned and required des-ignations, the official name would take up a full para-graph.“He was always just so special, and I wondered what am I going to call him,” Morse said. “I thought George, Georgie (She still calls him by that name.) ... and then I thought By George, I’ve Got It (His of-ficial short name.), because he struts and moves like he is something.”Yes, Morse was on hand to see George win at West-minster, but George didn’t know.

Participants in the drawing are seniors from Davie accepted in the first round to UNC-Chapel Hill.The night of the drawing was filled with anticipation as students arrived and sat around a table with note-pads and pens laid in front of them.

By Chenoa DanielDWA On Saturday, Feb. 8, the Davie Women's Auxiliary hosted a hands-on uphol-stery and painting workshop at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Bermuda Run. This provided partici-pants with the opportunity to learn skills in furniture res-toration and painting while supporting a meaningful cause.The workshop featured instructor Lishelle of Twins Upholstery in Mocksville guiding attendees through the processes of reuphol- The Farmington Commu-nity Association has induct-ed two new board members. “We couldn’t be prouder to add Molly Myers and Lo-gan Hendricks to our board. They represent the next gen-eration of leadership that will guide The Farmington Cen-ter into the future,” said Alli-son Brown, board president.The association is the non-profit organization that operates the 67-acre com-plex of The Farmington Cen-ter (TFC).Myers is a professional real estate agent and team leader of Extraordinary Homes Team & Keller Wil-liams Realty, serving on the Agent Leadership Council since 2020 and winning the Keller Williams Realty Ed-ucator of the Year Award in 2023. A native of Randolph County, she moved to Davie County in 2023 after buying her first home in Downtown Mocksville. Myers graduated from High Point University in 2015 with a bachelor's de-gree in communications and marketing after completing Randolph County's Early College High School pro-gram in 2012. “Serving on the board presents an opportunity to help in a hands-on way and be a representative of the community I love so much,” Myers said. “I am eager to contribute my skills in problem-solving, network-ing, marketing and strategic planning to ensure the com-munity center grows as a cornerstone of life in Davie County.”A Davie County native, Hendricks grew up just down the road from The Farming-ton Center. An entrepreneur, he is the owner and operator of LH Painting, which is how he started a relationship with TFC. When the Bangin’ Chainz disc golf store re-located to TFC, Hendricks worked on refurbishing the 88-year-old building that housed the agriculture stu-dents when TFC operated as a Davie County School in the early 1900s. He started playing at the pickleball courts and met the regulars who play at the Da-vie Disc Golf Course. Building on the relation-ships he’s forged in these recreational sports and his love of the outdoors, Hen-dricks wants to build and strengthen the bonds be-tween the people who share the recreational amenities at TFC. “Growing up with my mom working with several agencies in the community, I was part of the philanthropic events supporting those or-ganizations and understand the importance of working for the common good,” he said.TFC executive director Melanie Cook stated: “The Farmington Center is the place ‘where neighbors cel-ebrate, connect, adventure, and give.’ As executive di-rector for the past 10 years, I rely heavily on our board of directors to help fulfill our nonprofit mission. “I have watched the growth of our center under the leadership of the board members we have been blessed with. They give of their time, wisdom, exper-tise, and perspectives to help fulfill the mission, while managing challenges and pressing forward with inno-vative ideas. I am delighted to welcome Molly and Logan to this legacy of leadership that has kept Farmington a vital part of the community for the past 53 years.”The original grounds opened in 1921 as a Da-vie County school, operat-ing until 1970. In 1971, the county deeded the property to the newly created Farm-ington Community Associ-ation. Land deeded to FCA in 2006 was developed into the Nature Park, enlarging the complex to 67 acres, the largest recreational center in the county. Governed by an elected board of directors, the center is certified on the National Registry of Historic Places and hosts education pro-grams, outdoor recreation sites, along with four venues for rental. The Nature Park housing the Davie Disc Golf Course and trails for hiking and mountain biking, a walking circuit, pickleball courts, and playground is open daily, dawn to dusk, at no cost to visitors. The board continu-ally seeks sustainability and ways to leverage the ameni-ties of the complex for the betterment of the community and the county, Cook said. Funding partners of FCA include: Bermuda Run Tourism Development Au-thority, Davie Community Foundation, Davie Chamber of Commerce, Davie Recre-ation & Parks, and Mocks-ville Tourism Development Authority.

Davie Women’s Auxiliary members take part in an upholstery workshop. stering furniture. Auxiliary members worked with ex-perts to pick their pieces, such as chairs and tables, and received personal instruc-tion on how to transform them into refreshed, restyled items. This hands-on experience also encouraged creativity when giving a second life to an old piece. Afterwards, Jenny Spen-cer gave a talk on painting in various formats and styles. “You don’t have to have a reason to paint or a special project to complete,” she said. “You can just let your creativity take over and en- joy the process.”By hosting the work-shop at the Habitat ReStore, the auxiliary underscored a commitment to community development and support-ing The ReStore at 5385 US 158. The store serves as a nonprofit home improve-ment and donation center. The store sells new and gen-tly used furniture, applianc-es, home accessories, and building materials. Proceeds support Habitat's mission to build homes and improve lives of Davie residents.The upholstery and paint-ing workshop was a success and attended by more than 16 members. DWA member Jane Hil-ton commented: “It was in-teresting to learn the process of reupholstering a dining room chair, I have so many ideas now.”The furniture workshop was the first of many the auxiliary hopes to schedule.

Obituaries DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 6, 2025 - 7 SHOP LOCAL: Support Davie businesses Ruby Colene Phelps MillerMrs. Ruby Colene Phelps Miller, of Pine Ridge Road, Mocksville, the undisputed queen of poolside relaxation and culinary marvel, passed away at the age of 89. She leaves behind a life rich in flavor, romance novels, and a healthy dose of good-natured sass. Her legacy is as rich and layered as her famous sourdough rolls, persimmon pudding, and cooked apples made with lots of butter. Colene’s heart belonged to her beloved husband, Jimmy, with whom she shared many a square dance. Their favorite duet, “Ba-by’s Got Her Blue Jeans On,” was the soundtrack of their love, often sung by Jimmy to make her smile. They also rode many miles together on a gold Honda 350, with special friends Carl and Libb Grubb.As a young mother, Colene worked at Stanback in Salisbury, then later retired from Fiber. She enjoyed car-pooling with her best friends, Libb Grubb and Nell Lagle, and her brother, Bud. Her ability to read a Danielle Steele novel with one hand while puffing on a Vantage cigarette with the other was a skill perfected during the smoky haze of the 1970s. “The Young & the Restless” was always on her TV at 12 p.m., followed by poolside lounging–her sport of choice, with a Pepsi-Cola in hand, enjoying the sun while devour-ing tales of torrid romance. Her passion for soap operas was legendary; she never missed an episode, much to the amusement of her family. She also adored shopping for bargains, frequenting Saturday morning yard sales and the Lexington Flea Market. As the proud mother of four boys, Rick, Randy, Bob, and Barry, Colene Miller’s life was a whirlwind of chaos and joy. Her family grew to include 10 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, each one lucky enough to experi-ence her love, wisdom, and occasional playful scolding. Her kitchen was a haven of delectable treats. Her sour-dough rolls and vanilla pound cake were legendary, and her homemade strawberry ice cream was the highlight of many summers. Locals would line up for a taste, and many tried (and failed) to replicate her secret recipes. For more than 40 years, Colene hosted an annual Miller family Christmas breakfast in her home. The infamous incident of the green scrambled eggs, which she hilariously blamed on Regina, will be remembered fondly by all. Mrs. Miller was also a talented quilter, hand-sewing many beautiful quilts that are now cherished heirlooms. Each quilt was a testament to her patience, creativity, and love.Her green thumb was as notable as her culinary skills. Colene’s garden flourished with grapes, corn, beans, peas, tomatoes, squash, and cucumbers…all of which she gen-erously shared. Her grape jelly was a prized possession, often given as a treasured gift. She and Jimmy grew a ver-itable farmer’s market in their backyard, which she gener-ously shared the fruits (and vegetables) of her labor with anyone fortunate enough to cross her path.A faithful member of Trinity Baptist Church, Colene’s favorite hymn was "What A Friend We Have In Jesus”, a fitting tribute to the way she lived her life—with kindness, generosity, and an unwavering faith. She found great joy in hearing her favorite granddaughters, Amanda and Can-die, play “Make Me a Blessing” on the piano, a request she made frequently and lovingly. Pastor Darrell Cox was a faithful friend who was like a son to Colene. She always enjoyed his company and looked forward to his weekly visits in her home. In her honor, Colene’s family invites you to grab a Dan-ielle Steele novel and a can of Pepsi, then find a sunny spot by the pool. Enjoy some strawberry ice cream and think of Ma-maw. For those who received one of her quilts, wrap yourself in it and remember the warmth she brought to everyone’s lives. Our mama is able to now rest in peace. May she dance forever with Jimmy, enjoy endless soap operas, and find the best yard sale bargains along the streets paved with gold. We know you are safe in the arms of Jesus, surrounded by the heavenly aroma of fresh-baked rolls and the gentle hum of your favorite hymns. In addition to her parents, Lee and Ada Belle Swice-good Phelps, she was preceded in death by: her step mother, Mae Phelps; siblings, Dorothy Tarlton, Geraldine Hanes and Tom Phelps; and sisters and brothers-in-law, Frances Miller, Dicky Miller, Lucy Miller Crotts, Ruth Beck, and Lawrence Miller.In addition to her sons, grandchildren and great grand-children, survivors include: siblings, Bud Phelps, J.W. Phelps (Liz), Sylvia Reavis, and Mary Alice Straney (Den-nis); brother-in-law, David “Doc” Miller; several nieces and nephews; and special friend, Gail Frye.A funeral service was conducted at 3 p.m., Friday, Feb. 28 at Trinity Baptist Church with Dr. Darrell Cox offici-ating. Interment followed in Liberty United Methodist Church Cemetery. The family received friends one hour prior to the service, at the church.In lieu of flowers, memorials may be considered to: Mt. Valley Hospice, c/o SECU Hospice Center of Yadkin, 243 N.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 6, 2025 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record In the state 4-A individual tourna-ment at the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, Davie traveled a road that can’t be located on any wrestling map. The week before in the Midwest Regional, the War Eagles did not have a regional champion. In Greensboro, they did not have an individual state champion. But when all was said and done, the War Eagles had the hardware - their third state title in two years. That’s a trifecta that never happens. But it’s happened at least once. It happened Feb. 24. After day one on Feb. 22, the War Eagles were sitting in third with 20.5 points, while Hough had 25.5 and Cardinal Gibbons 23.5. After day two, Davie had a 104-91 lead over Hickory Ridge. When it was over, Davie was the repeat individual champ with 110 points to Hough’s 106.5 and Hickory Ridge’s 106. “It was just a rollercoaster,” Davie’s second-year coach, Josh Stanley, said. “It was pretty sweet. For the boys that lost the finals, that’s always bittersweet, but it was amaz-ing (to win the state as a team).”The War Eagles, who were pro-jected by RankWrestlers to have 53 points and finish sixth, made Hough and Hickory Ridge scratch where they don’t itch by producing four runner-ups and two fifth-place finishers. “I don’t know that we’ve ever had four in the finals,” Stanley said. Sophomore Aidan Szewcyzk, senior Cayden Glass and juniors Tiaj Thao and Elliott Gould came away with silver medals. Senior Brett Foster and junior Andy Davis took fifth to help Davie win the state individuals for the third time, the others coming in 1995 and 2024. At 120, Szewcyzk rolled into the Wrestlers repeat as state champs finals with a tech fall, a decision and a pin. He was stopped in the finals by a mighty junior from Mooresville, Jace Barrier, who took a 5-1 decision to up his record to 54-1. Szewcyzk, who was fifth last year at 113, went 24-2 as a sophomore and has a career record of 53-8. “We were expecting him to be in the finals, but the way he did it was super impressive,” Stanley said. At 126, Glass was his typical dominant self in the first three rounds, pinning twice and winning by tech fall. In the finals, he ran into a roadblock named Aiden White, a 46-2 sophomore from Weddington who won 13-8. It was the second state runner-up for Glass, who went 45-6 this season and 147-37 for his career. “He tried a big move in the finals and went to his back,” Stanley said of White’s seven-point haymaker. “He shouldn’t have done it, but you can’t stop a kid like Cayden and I wasn’t trying to stop him. You can’t stifle him. If he sees a move, he’s going to go for it. He’s just a killer, and that’s why he techs and pins. You live by the sword and you die by the sword.”At 132, Thao opened with a tech and a decision. In the semifinals, he caught lightning in a jar, erasing a 7-1 deficit and pinning Tyton Kost-off. This was a massive moment because this was a matchup against Hough.In the finals, Thao faced Cardinal Gibbons star senior Liam Hickey, who mounted a commanding 11-0 lead in the first period. But Thao responded with an electrifying comeback before falling short 16-13. Hickey - who is 123-3 over three years, including 35-0 this year - won his second state title. “A massive underdog,” Stanley said of Thao. “Not in our eyes be-cause we knew the style matchup there, but Liam is a commitment to (North) Carolina. He’s one of the highest profile kids in the state. No-body had even tested him this year. He just techs or pins everybody. I’m not sure that he had even wrestled a full match this year. But we knew Please See Champs - Page B3 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Ethan Driver lightning struck in the first round of the 4-A playoffs, and thus Davie’s varsity boys bas-ketball team overrode a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter and beat visiting South Mecklenburg 69-66 on Feb. 25. Driver went nuclear with Davie’s back against the wall, scoring 14 during a 16-5 run. It was glorious. “Ethan took over the game and put us on his back,” coach Josh Pittman said. “He put forth an epic performance.”Senior point guard Bryson Mick-ey, who had missed all of one game and virtually all of another with an ankle injury, gave Davie a boost when he checked in less than four minutes into the game. He immedi-ately drilled a 3 to get Davie on the board after the Sabres scored the first six points. “He’s our biggest presence, and his presence makes defenses adjust,” Pittman said. “I don’t even think they knew he was hurt because the coach got mad as soon as he made his first 3. I heard him over there yelling: ‘I told you he was the shoot-er.’I started laughing. I just hate that he doesn’t have more offers right now other than Dean (College).”The War Eagles converted 7 of 10 free throws in the last 2:33 of the second quarter and carried a 32-29 lead to halftime. Early in the third, Draeton Nance assisted an Elliott Erlandsson bucket and Davie was in control at 34-29. “We were terrible shooting in the first half, but our defense was good to hold them to 29 points,” Pittman said. But the Sabres flipped the game, ripping off a 27-12 run to take a 56-46 lead with 7:02 remaining and prompting a timeout from Pittman. “I said: ‘We’ve got to attack when we have the opportunity to attack and when we get a mismatch. But most importantly, we’ve got to get stops and we’ve got to go one possession at a time,’” he said. Driver had a quiet first half, but man did he turn it on with his team in trouble. He scored - deep breath - 14 points in a span of 3:43. He drove and banked in an improbable shot as he was fouled. After Nance turned a South turnover into two points, Driver sank a 3-pointer from the left wing. He stole a pass, sped downcourt and scored as he was fouled. He missed the free throw, but Landon King wrestled away the rebound and found Driver at the top of the key. The 3-ball splashed. Nance was triple-teamed on the low right block. He was able to squeeze Driver lightning struck in Round 1 Please See Strike - Page B5 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s girls basketball team sprinted to a 12-1 lead in the early moments of the second round of the 4-A playoffs, but the War Eagles lost their mojo, fell 64-58 and had to settle for a 20-8 season. The game was held at South Mecklenburg on Feb. 28. The ninth-seeded War Eagles were brilliant out of the gate. Gracie Shore popped a trey. Bailey Ader-hold scored on the break. Makenzie Gentry converted a reverse layup. Avarie Martin sank a triple. The Sabres were 0 for 12 from the field and down 12-1. When Burris made a reverse layup of her own, it was 14-3. Vivian Vaughters got a steal, scored as she was fouled and hit the free throw to make it 17-8. In the second quarter, South fought back, but Shore, Olivia Smith and Madison Daugherty drained 3s to give Davie a 28-25 halftime lead. But all of a sudden the War Ea-gles couldn’t keep up with South, the Sabres scoring 11 unanswered points in the third. After missing 13 of their first 15 tries from 3, they hit a triple to take their first lead at 33-31 with 3:29 left in the third. The War Girls lose mojo, finish 20-8 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record In the first round of the 4-A playoffs, Bailey Aderhold of Davie’s girls basketball team entered the magic realm that few shooters enter. The junior’s laser-accurate shoot-ing in an 81-39 annihilation of Asheville was earth-shattering: 10 of 11 on field goals and 7 of 8 from the 3-point arc. Davie, seeded ninth in the West Region, hosted the No. 24 Cougars on Feb. 25. “Oh my gosh, it was so excit-ing,” Aderhold said after scoring Aderhold burns Asheville in first round Please Mojo - Page B4 27 points. “But I couldn’t have done it without my teammates and their trust in me. No shooter can be successful without great passes from teammates. We came out with ener-gy and teamwork. We were excited and ready to go. We knew we had to focus so we could advance, and luckily my shots were falling. The win was definitely because of our great teamwork.”Madison Daugherty nailed a 3 at the beginning of the game and Emmie Burris’ steal/layup staked Davie to a 6-0 lead. But the Cou-gars hung tough in the first quarter, trailing 21-15. “I knew they could hit some 3s,” coach Lindsey Adams said. “They’ve shot over 500 3s as a team. They have four girls who have shot more than 100 3-point attempts, and Bailey is the only one on our team who has shot over 100 (105 to be exact). So I knew they were not going to be scared to launch it.”Aderhold’s explosion began in the first quarter when she scored on a 3-pointer, a 15-footer and an eight-footer. In the second quarter, Junior Tiaj Thao cuffs his opponent as referee Keith Shields looks for a possible pin. Thao was second at 132.

T’s quirky and he can reverse you and do amazing stuff that most guys can’t do because of his mobility and he’s so patient.”Storming back like a man possessed, Thao actually had Hickey on his back twice. The referee did not slap the mat as Thao followed up his third-place sophomore year with a 38-6 junior season. His career record is 115-25. “(Hickey) put T on his back twice and he fought his butt off,” Stanley said. “T just did what T does and he wore on him and got him tired. He got a cradle and put him on his back. In the third period, T threw (Hickey) on his back. He was so close to having a pin. The place was going cra-zy for T and I was celebrating with him. T is another amaz-ing human. He comes off smiling and celebrating with us after a heartbreaking match like that when he’s chasing the state title. I get that it’s hard for a referee to slap the mat against a kid like that. It was tough for me to watch, but it was amazing to watch.”At 150, Gould started his run with a decision and a pin. In the semifinals against Northwest Guilford’s Jack Gibson, Gould delivered one of Davie’s magical moments, a takedown with one second left to win 6-5. In the finals, Gould ran into an impenetra-ble wall, Hough’s 51-1 senior Jackson Rowling, and lost by pin. Gould went 41-9 with his second state appearance, and he’ll carry a 93-36 career record into next year. “Elliott is just an amazing kid,” Stanley said. “It was his gas tank; it was his will (in the semifinals). He took the shot with five seconds left. We’ve watched the video a thousand times. He’s a great human be-ing and I’ve been trying really hard to get the physicality out of him and being gritty and mean out there. And man, it just came together at the right time.”Davie’s climb to the top in a field of 66 teams was also a testament to Foster and Davis. Foster’s 3-2 effort at 138 fea-tured a dramatic 7-4 overtime win in the fifth/sixth match. “Brett being in that posi-tion - after the year he’s had, after the career he’s had with a neck surgery, a knee injury, I could go on and on - and then to get a state placement and the way he did it at the end was just amazing,” Stanley said after Foster finished 30-12 as a senior and 88-24 in Champs ... his career. “If he doesn’t win that, I think we’d win by one point, but we don’t know that at the time, so we’re thinking everything’s on this. So it was an amazing opportunity for him to step up right there.”In the battle for fifth at 144, Davis delivered a breathtaking pin over Hickory Ridge senior Asher Watson. He went 3-2 in his second state appearance, finished the season 25-6 and will sport an 84-20 career record next year. “We had to have him win that fifth-place match for us to win it,” Stanley said. “He could have been thinking about himself there. He could have been down and out (after a 1-0 loss). It was a worst-case scenario for him, and he’s got to go out there and put it on the line again. He did it and did it with passion. That was everything. We knew what our finals matchups were - we knew the odds of us winning any of the finals was going to be tough - so it was amazing.”Part of the credit goes to sophomore Jack Bost at 113. In the first round, he would have made Houdini proud, turning a 7-0 deficit into a wild 19-12 comeback win over Cardinal Gibbons senior Spencer Sterling. Although he dropped his next two match-es, Bost went 33-15 for the year. Davie carried nine guys to Greensboro. The other two were junior Maddox Crea-son at 190 and senior Ryder Strickland at heavyweight. While both went 0-2, Strick-land enjoyed an absolutely fantastic senior year, going 44-4 and leaving with a career record of 126-41 that included 80 pins. “He lost some really tight matches,” Stanley said. “It didn’t end the way he want-ed, but he had an absolutely amazing career. Football is his thing but his family’s always been for us and for the wrestling program. He’s banged up and he did what he could do. So I couldn’t be more proud of him.”The War Eagles are back-to-back state champs - they swept the duals and the indi-vidual trophies last year - for the first time since 1994-95, and they have every reason to believe that further greatness awaits them. “We’re going to be really good next year,” Stanley said. “We have plans in the offseason to get stronger. That’s where we lacked this year. I didn’t make enough emphasis on strength training, which was my mistake, and we’ll correct that. We’ve got some young guys coming up that are really good. Then after that, we get really good. I mean, we’ve got fifth- and sixth-grade guys coming up the pipeline that are super impressive. All these kids are wrestling national events every weekend.”Notes: Stanley is blessed with an all-star coaching staff (Timmy Allen, Russell Hilton, Jordon Nolan, Caleb Spurlin and Isaiah Whitley). “Obviously I get a lot of credit for everything, but we have an army of coaches,” he said. “Everybody has their own spot that they fill for the team. Most of them have jobs outside of the school system. They’re taking time away from their family and no-body’s really getting anything from it other than just the enjoyment of being out there with the boys.” ... Stanley gave verbal roses to his wife Ashley. “Ashley has to deal with a lot being married to me,” he said. “People ask how I balance the club program and Davie? She is the cheat code. She cheers for the wres-tlers for three days straight like they are her own kids. She gets no glory, no pictures of her. Being a coach’s wife is tough. She does it well.” 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 COUNTY SPORTS PHOTOS by Marnic Lewis • High School Sports • Youth Sports • Rec.

B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 6, 2025 Continued From Page B1Eagles’ offensive magic - they shot 56 percent on the way to 81 points in the first round - had run out. They were 0 for 10 from the floor in the third before Shore hit a 17-footer. Then Smith had a flurry to keep hope alive. Her 3-ball pulled Davie within 40-38 Mojo .. Continued From Page B1she made a 10-footer before banging a couple of 3s. Da-vie was absolutely dominant after the first, leading 40-21 at halftime and 63-31 at the end of the third. “Pressing and playing fast is when this team is the most successful,” Adams said. “We’re ten times a better team when we’re defending, not thinking about offense and just letting it flow naturally.”After a 15-point first half, Aderhold resumed her blis-tering performance in the second. Before this outing, her season high was 18 and her career high was 21. and her basket off a Burris steal tied the game at 40. Martin’s 12-footer cut South’s lead to 44-43, but the No. 8 Sabres responded with anoth-er 11-0 run and Davie could not recover. Davie’s biggest contrib-utor was an unlikely source - freshman Smith, who hit her stride over the last four games. She banged three tri-ples and scored a team-high 11 points. After averaging 2.3 points in her first 20 games, she scored at a 7.2 clip in her last four. Shore did all she could with 10 points, nine rebounds and three steals. Vaughters had eight points. Burris put together eight points, seven rebounds and three assists. After starting 5 of 11 from the field, Davie went cold (11 of 41). After missing their first seven 3-point tries, the Sabres (25-4) nailed 6 of 14. The loss, though, could not tarnish a terrific season. The War Eagles made history in 2024-25 and they have a chance to be something real-ly amazing next year. There was not a senior on the team. The top eight scorers were two juniors, five sophomores and one freshman. Martin averaged 12.9, Shore 8.3, Aderhold 8.1, Gentry/Burris 6.6, Vaughters 6.4, McDowell 5.5 and Daugherty 4.4. South Meck 64, Davie 58 - Olivia Smith 11, Gracie Shore 10, Vivian Vaughters 8, Emmie Burris 8, Bailey Aderhold 6, Avarie Martin 5, Madison Daugherty 5, Lon-dyn McDowell 3, Makenzie Gentry 2. Burns .. “After I hit the first few, I definitely felt like I was in a rhythm,” Aderhold said. “My teammates kept finding me in good spots, and once I saw a couple go in, the confidence just kept building. It felt like every shot I took was going in.”It was the most points by a War Eagle since Kenadi Gentry’s 28 in a 58-22 win at Reynolds in 2022-23. Aderhold led the CPC in made 3s last year as a sopho-more, but “her percentage is higher this year, and a lot of that is better shot selection,” Adams said. “Last year we did not have as many offen- sive threats, we didn’t have a true point guard and getting open shots was a lot harder, and sometimes she would force them and rush them. She is very smart on her shot selections, which allows her to do other things for us. She’s extended her game a lot. She does a lot more for us than just shoot the 3. She’s one of our toughest defenders. She leads us in charges. She can attack the rim when they close out hard.”Daugherty had a game to remember as well. The soph-omore registered 14 points for the third time to match her career high while making 4 of 6 3s. But everyone was in-volved in the first playoff win in 10 years, the third 80-point outburst of the sea-son and the first 20-win mo-ment in 22 years. Avarie Martin (8 points), Olivia Smith (7 points, 5 rebounds), Makenzie Gentry (6 points, 6 rebounds), Gracie Shore (6 points, 4 assists, 3 steals), Burris (5 points, 6 assists, 4 steals) and Londyn McDow-ell (4 points, 4 assists) helped Davie run its record to 20-7. Notes: Asheville finished 13-14. ... This was Davie’s first playoff win since a 51-34 decision over Porter Ridge in 2014-15. It’s the first 20-win season since Davie went 21-7 in 2002-03. ... Davie shot a sizzling 56 percent (30 of 53, including 11 of 20 from 3). ... Davie was the only CPC team to survive the first round. Mt. Tabor lost 57-30 to McDowell, Reagan lost 78-50 to South Meck and East Forsyth lost 41-31 to Northwest Guilford. ... Along with being a standout in tennis and basketball, Aderhold is ranked No. 1 academically in the junior class. “She’s a very, very dedicated athlete,” Adams said. “I don’t know how much free time she has. She puts the team first no matter which team she’s on. She’s constantly giving her all, along with taking college classes. She just has a lot going, and she’s very self-mo-tivated and driven.” ... Did you say anything to Aderhold as she was burning the nets? “It’s like when a pitcher is about to throw a no-hitter, you just don’t say anything about it,” Adams said with a laugh.

After a 1-0 first half, Davie blew the doors off the Blue Devils. “In the second half, we pretty much dominated in ev-ery aspect,” fourth-year coach Corbin Kopetzky said. “We put a lot of things together. They all played very well.”But no one played better than Lanna Robinson, who Davie’s JV baseball team split a pair of barnburners in the first week of the season, with a loss to North Davidson mixed in. Tanner Steinour went 2 for 3 with a double and Blake French went 2 for 3 with two RBIs, but the War Eagles lost in the last inning, 6-5, at Alexander Central on Feb. 25. Davie got one hit from Carter Cornett (1-2, two RBIs) and Tay Settecasi (1-3, double). After jumping on top 3-0, Davie regained a 4-3 lead in the third on a French hit. Davie took another one-run lead in the fourth, but the Cougars tied it at 5 and won on a walk-off hit in the bottom of the sixth. Noah Potts and Taylor Shenberger had 2 walks each. Davie was held to three hits in a 7-3 loss at North Da-vidson on Feb. 27. Brandon Forrest (1-1, walk, double), Steinour (1-2, walk) and Settecasi (1-2) had the base knocks, while French drew two walks. Davie’s third arm, fresh-man Noah Potts, was the most effective in the four-inning By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s varsity baseball team started 1-2 in the first week of the season, but Coy James opened his senior cam-paign in remarkable fashion, even for his lofty standards. His numbers after two games against Alexander Central and one with North Davidson, which are qualify opponents: 7 for 9, .777 bat-ting average, six runs, three doubles, two triples, one home run, five RBIs, three walks. game, striking out three to offset two walks in a hitless inning. Davie pulled out a seesaw game, 9-8, at home against Alexander Central on Feb. 28. Potts and French had hits in a three-run fourth. When Cornett reached on an error, two runs came in to give Davie a 7-5 lead. Davie fell behind 8-7 in the top of the fifth, but it emerged victorious in its last at-bat. Shenberger opened the home half of the fifth with a walk and then stole second. With two outs, Steinour tied it with a single. The next batter, Easton Sanders (2-4), delivered a walk-off double. Getting one hit were For-rest (1-2, walk), Steinour (1-2, two RBIs, two HBPs), Potts (1-3, two RBIs), French (1-2, walk) and Cornett (1-3, two RBIs). Shenberger walked twice, stole two bags and scored twice. Three of Davie’s five pitchers did not allow a run. They were Shenberger (1.2 innings, two Ks), Nick Can-non (one inning) and Settecasi (one-third of an inning). Steinour, Sanders get big hits for JVs 35 scouts on hand to watch James’ sizzling bat There were 35 pro scouts in Welcome at the North Da-vidson game. “We had 35 scouts watch-ing him during BP,” coach Joey Anderson said. “It doesn’t affect him at all. With his personality, he rolls with it. We had one issue with one scout. We try to post when he’s going to hit so they’re all there by that time. One scout who had driven 300 miles said: ‘I was stuck in that line out there and I didn’t get to see him hit.’ I said: ‘I have other guys who need to hit, too. If I have time at the end, then I’ll gladly let him go out there and swing for you.’ That guy brought me some baseballs yesterday. It’s inter-esting. If I need to be the bad guy, then I’ll be the bad guy. Coy said: ‘I want everything to be kind of normal.’”AC 5, Davie 4The opener in Taylorsville on Feb. 25 wasn’t decided until the bottom of the sev-enth, when Alexander Central scored twice to walk off the War Eagles. “It was a very well played game all around on both sides,” Anderson said. “It was an entertaining game. We had quite a few well-hit balls.”In the top of the sixth, Davie turned a 3-1 deficit into a 4-3 lead. Kason Stewart doubled, John Fisher walked and Carson Queen singled to load the bases for James, who fouled off two two-strike pitches before unloading a three-run double. Central, though, took the game from Davie in its last at-bat, scoring two runs on a walk, a double and a bloop single. “Parker (Davis) throws a great pitch on the inner half and catches the guy on the hands, and he hits it right over the first baseman’s head,” Anderson said of the game-deciding hit. “It’s one where you tip your cap. They had the last at-bat and they were able to do it. “I called two hit-and-runs and both of them were line drives right at people (for double plays). If they get a little bit to the left or to the right, then we’re probably scoring in those situations.”James (2-3, double), Drew Krause (2-4) and Queen (2-3) had six of Davie’s eight hits. Hayden Potts was 1-3 and Stewart 1-4. Tucker Hobbs (four in-nings), Jacob Patton (2/3) and Davis (two innings) shared the pitching. “Our pitchers did well,” he said. “We walked a couple too many, but we played really well defensively. Tucker’s offspeed was working. For the most part, I was really impressed with his first start of the year.” Davie 4, ND 0The War Eagles did every-thing right at North Davidson on Feb. 27. James (3-3, two doubles, triple) and Bubby Byington (2-4) combined for five hits and Colin Harrison and Ayden Sanders provided dominant pitching. With Coston Colamarino nursing an injury, Byington took advantage of his oppor-tunity to fill in in center field. “We’re not the healthiest right now,” Anderson said. “I’ve got pretty much half my team hurt. Bubby took over for Coston, who was sup-posed to be my center fielder, but he pulled a muscle. Now I know I can trust Bubby to put him in another spot if I need to.”Harrison (four innings, eight Ks) and Sanders (three innings, five Ks) did an awe-some job on the mound. “It was great to see (Har-rison’s outing) because that’s one thing we were worried about,” Anderson said. “We needed him to go four in-nings. Ayden walked two in a row, and (pitching coach Joey) Cress went out there and did something mechani-cally. Then he got us a double play. It’s fun to watch.”AC 14, Davie 11The rematch against Al-exander Central took an un-expected turn in the top of the sixth. With a 9-5 lead, the War Eagles appeared primed for some payback. But they un-raveled in the sixth, when the Cougars scored nine runs on four hits, four walks and two errors. Big yikes. James was at it again, going 2 for 3 with two runs, a triple and a homer. Junior Ryan Williams went 2 for 2 in his varsity debut, and Krause went 2-4. Hayden Potts went 1-3 with a double and three RBIs. Stewart singled and reached base three times. Sophomore Ty Sain singled in his first official at-bat on var-sity after drawing two walks in his first plate appearances the game before. Queen was 1-3 with a double. Notes: This was the high-est-scoring game since a 22-10 loss at High Point Christian in 2022. ... Krause is hitting .454 (5-11).

Varsity soccer mashes Maiden DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 6, 2025 - B5 Continued From Page B1a pass through traffic to the left wing to Driver, who bur-ied the 3 to give Davie a 62-61 lead at 2:45. Driver, who came in aver-aging 8.2 points with a season high of 18, finished with a varsity career high 22 on 6-of-11 shooting that included 3 of 4 from 3-point range. As if that wasn’t enough, he pulled down seven rebounds and made three steals. “Ethan just smiles and says: ‘Hey, I was on,’” Pit-tman said. “And he goes about his business. It’s funny because he kind of reminds me of myself when I played. I was just never the super hype kind to jump up and down. I just stayed in the moment and stayed even (keel), and that’s what I see in him. He’s really turned on these last five or six games. He’s locked in at practice, and it shows.”Davie still had work to do in the closing minutes. Erlandsson made two at the line to tie it at 64. Jackson Powers hit 3 of 4 foul shots to provide a 67-66 lead. After South committed a turnover at :22, Mickey split a pair from the line for a 68-66 lead at :19. South missed a 3 and fouled Powers at :02. He hit one of two for the game’s final point. South missed a 3-point prayer at the buzzer as Davie closed the game on a 23-10 run. “We’re one of those streaky teams,” Pittman said. “If the rim opens for one of us, it starts to open for all of us. We made big plays at the right time.”Notes: Powers was really banged up after this one. He had already been dealing with a toe injury, and he turned his ankle in the fourth. He still battled his way to 14 points, eight rebounds and three steals. “And he’s still dealing with the toe,” Pittman said. “All I could do was hold my Strike ... head. I feel bad for him. I hate that Jackson and Bryson are going through so much pain in their senior years.” ... There were 13 lead changes and 10 ties. ... Davie got important contributions from Nance (9 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists), Mickey (7 points) and Noah Dulin (4 points, 6 rebounds). ... Davie, seeded 14th in the West Region, advanced to the second round for the sec-ond year in a row. The No. 19 Sabres finished 17-11. ... The CPC went 5-0 in the first round. Reagan won 69-57 over Northern Guilford, East Forsyth won 86-60 over Olympic, Mt. Tabor won 69-55 over Grimsley and West Forsyth won 77-70 over Marvin Ridge. North Meck 90, Davie 50The War Eagles got off to a fast start in the second round at North Mecklenburg on Feb. 28, but they would soon crash in a blowout loss to the third-seeded Vikings. The War Eagles had a 13-9 lead at the end of the first quarter, but North demolished their momentum in the second quarter. Pittman had a sinking feeling with the score 32-23 North at intermission. “We played a really good first quarter,” he said. “We were able to manage turn-overs.“I was kind of worried at halftime because I knew they were getting in a rhythm. Playing in that gym, that little gym, where these kids can basically take two steps to halfcourt, it’s to their advan-tage because they can grab the ball and cover space at a high clip.”The Vikings did whatever they wanted in the second half. It was 64-33 at the end of the third and North was on its way to a 26-3 record. “There wasn’t too much we could do,” Pittman said. Powers (season-high 19 points) and Driver (18) held up their end of the bargain. No one else, though, had more than four. Driver went off the last five games, scoring 13, 17, 14, 22 and 18. Although the War Eagles went down with a whimper, it was another year of achieve-ment. They’ve gone 17-9, 22-5 and 18-9 under Pittman. Now he’s ready to get out of the second round. “We’ll come back and start working in April,” Pittman said. “The goal this offseason is to get stronger and faster. I’m not really too concerned about the basketball part. With us being as young as we’ll be next year, I want us to focus on building strength and working on our footwork and speed. We’ll have all fall to lock in on the basketball part. I feel like it’ll be essen-tial for us to get stronger and be able to keep up the pace with teams like that moving forward. We’ve gotten to the point where we can battle teams around in this area. But let’s take that next step.”Notes: West Forsyth, which outlasted South Cald-well 54-47 in overtime, is the last CPC team standing. Reagan lost 74-53 to Myers Park, East Forsyth lost 75-70 to Weddington and Tabor lost 80-77 in OT to Watauga. ... Three seniors led Davie’s bal-anced scoring for the season: Erlandsson 10.2, Powers 9.6 and Mickey 9.1. Driver, a ju-nior, was fourth at 9.0. Fresh-men Nance and Dulin both averaged 7.0 in 11 games. ... A memorable career came to an end at North Meck. Powers had 1,075 career points, good for ninth place in Davie’s 69-year history.

Luke Cranfill, Riley Mallory and Chris Samet - the 4-5-6 seeds in the Davie lineup - com-bined for five singles wins in two matches. The season opener was also the CPC opener. Visiting Reynolds took down the War Eagles 6-3 on Feb. 24, extend-ing their losing streak to five dating to 2024. It was 3-3 after singles thanks to wins from Cran-fill, Mallory and Samet. The Demons, however, swept doubles. “Luke, Riley and Chris didn’t look like freshmen playing in a first match,” 11th-year coach Shane Nixon said. “And when the bright lights did shine in their eyes, they responded. Riley got behind in the second set but pulled away. Chris got off to a slow start but found a way to claw back and get it done.”Nixon was not discour-aged by the loss. “Reynolds has gotten so much better,” he said. “They are young - one senior in top six - and they are really good. I’m excited about what we can be, and can’t wait to put the work in to make it happen.”Davie 6, EF 3The War Eagles bounced back two days later in anoth-er CPC match, beating East Forsyth to stop a 1-7 slump going back to 2024. Davie held a 4-2 edge in singles behind wins from Bar-rett Taylor at No. 3, Cranfill at four, Mallory at five and soph-omore Brady Carter at six. The doubles winners were Taylor/Carter and Cranfill/Samet. “The freshmen continue to sparkle,” Nixon said. “Chris is battling a pulled muscle but toughed it out to get his first doubles win. Getting Brady back to being Brady was something I knew had to happen. He had a rough week during seeding play as we prepped for the season, but kudos to him for not hanging his head and complaining. He’s the real deal.”Nixon had high praise one of his seniors (Taylor). “Barrett is one of those kids, and in this case that is as positive as it can be,” he said. “He’s smart, a straight A stu-dent, he’s involved. He does band, is in clubs, is an Eagle Scout, etc. He’s the kind of kid we talk about when we say better off the court than on. But right now he’s only as good off as on because he is playing so well on the court.” Freshmen strong for tennis By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The first game of the sea-son was a wild adventure for the Davie girls lacrosse team. Lyndsay Davis scored the game-winner in a 12-11 over-time decision against visiting Southwest Guilford on Feb. 25 after the War Eagles had squandered a four-goal lead. It was a good start with Davie coming off a 7-12 season in which it graduated seven seniors. “We only have six girls that are returners, so the rest of our team is pretty much brand new to the sport,” third-year coach Haley Hines said. “So for us to pull out that win, it was good to see.”Davis (eight goals, one assist) and Kimber Holston (one goal, four assists) had their fingerprints all over the win, especially on the game-winning play. “The last play in the over-time was absolutely beauti-ful,” Hines said. “Kimber had it and passed it to the other senior, Lyndsay, and it was a beautiful quick stick right into the goal. I looked at my Fitbit and my heart rate was 145. I was like: ‘Y’all are going to give me a heart attack.’”Davis, who has commit-ted to Sweet Briar College (Virginia), and Holston are the only seniors on the team. “They were the dynamic duo in the game for sure,” Hines said. Kayden Richardson had two goals and one assist, while Lila Moore had one goal and two assists.

But the second game couldn’t have gone better as Davie hammered North Davidson 9-1 in Welcome. The War Eagles restored their confidence on the heels of their worst loss in 13 years. “We went in with a mind-set that North Davidson was our first game of the season,” coach Nathan Handy said. “It was a great bounce-back game. It was a reset to our season, and we definitely needed a reset.”The four-inning game at South was dismal. Raelyn Lankford had the only Davie hit, a home run, while the Vikings pounded out 10 runs in the first inning and 13 hits for the game. “We didn’t even show up,” Handy said. Davie 9, ND 1The War Eagles looked awesome two days later. They had North Davidson in the slammer by the second inning, when it was 4-0. Potts, who only pitched one-third of an inning in the opener because she was not feeling 100 percent, was back to her dominant self as the star senior walked one and struck out 10 in a three-hitter. “She was on,” Handy said. “She was hitting spots. We were getting weak ground balls and pop flies.”But she was only part of the story. Jaydn Davis (3 for 4), Addie Brown (2-4, two RBIs), Brenna Altiers (2-4, two RBIs, double) and Landry Parsons (2-3, double) led a 13-hit barrage. “Addie was sick and you could tell she didn’t feel good,” Handy said of the Martin, Adams receive honors In girls basketball, sophomore Avarie Martin and Lindsey Adams won player of the year and coach of the year in the Central Piedmont Conference, respectively. Junior Bailey Aderhold and freshman Gracie Shore made all-conference for Davie, while Mt. Tabor senior Shaymiah Bailey took home defensive player of the year. Seniors Bryson Mickey and Jackson Powers made the all-CPC team for Davie’s boys. The player of the year was Tabor senior Snook Peterkin. The defensive player of the year was West Forsyth’s Kamauri Manuel. And the coach of the year was Tabor’s Andy Muse. Pisciotta 11 points in blowout win After notching its first playoff win and its first winning record in four years in 2024, the good vibes continued for the Davie boys lacrosse team when it dismantled visiting South-west Guilford, 18-0, in the season opener on Feb. 25. Jack Pisciotta led with six goals. Ty Carter and William Carter had three each. Caswell Moore had two, while Davie got one from Jayce Bentley, Luke Wayne, Henry Hines and Owen Blakely. Pisciotta also led in assists with five. Hines had two. T. Car-ter, Evan Helms, Blakely, JD Cunningham and Moore had one. Spillman shoots 40, 38 for Davie golf The Davie boys golf team won its first two matches of the season, both held at Pudding Ridge. Davie’s 22-over 162 topped Ledford’s 165 on Feb. 24. The top players for the War Eagles were junior Carter Spillman, freshman Seager Brooks and junior Braxton Hunter with 5-over 40s. Senior James Walsh was next at 42. Three days later, the War Eagles had an easy time with Starmount, winning 163-197. The same foursome paced Da-vie’s scoring, including a 3-over 38 from Spillman. Walsh and Brooks shot 40 and 44, respectively. North girls lose at end The North Davie girls JV basketball team dropped a nail-biter in the first round of the Tri-County Conference Tourna-ment, losing 24-22 to China Grove on Feb. 24. Khia Bohannon and Karmen Wilson scored nine and seven points, respectively, as the Wildcats controlled the game before giving up a tiebreaking layup with five seconds remaining. Harper Welch (four) and Madison Stanley (two) rounded out the North scoring. “We were up by 10 for most of the game,” coach Austin King said. “Then Karmen got into foul trouble and they caught up while she was pulled out.”The Wildcats, who came in with a five-game winning streak, finished 8-5. Ellis boys out in 1st round North Rowan was too much for the Ellis boys in the first round of the conference tournament. The Mavericks took a 22-14 lead to halftime and pulled away in the second half in a 50-30 decision. The Jaguars, who lost the regular-season meeting 50-17, were paced by Will Hileman and Hunter Hough with 11 points each. Kingston Hamilton had four, while Graham Wood and Levin Ward had two each. Ellis finished with a 6-7 record. sophomore. “But she came through with two hits. I have to give her kudos because they were at big moments.“Brenna wanted to show out because she’s from Da-vidson County and would have gone to North Davidson. If we were playing at home, she would have hit two home runs. Their fence is 210 and she hit the fence one time and she was one step away on another run. The one time she got out, it was a long fly ball. She showed out in a big way.“Landry had a monster hit down the left-field line. When she hit it, I thought it was out. Again, if we were at our place, it would have been out. It hit the fence.”Carleigh Croom (1-3), Hanna Steinour (1-3), Au-tumn McEwen (1-4) and Rae-gan Davis (1-4) contributed offensively as Davie stopped a dry spell in the series (North had won four straight and 10 of the last 11 meetings). Handy was thrilled beyond words with his outfield - L. Parsons in left, Croom in center and R. Davis in right. L. Parsons made an all-world play. “The outfield played amazing,” he said. “They were hustling their butts off. Landry Parsons made a catch ... I don’t know how she made it. I don’t know how she held onto the ball because she went to the ground. She was coming towards second base. Her and Carleigh had to com-municate at the last second as to who was going to make that catch, and Landry called her off. I wish I could have gotten it on film.”Don’t forget about R. Da-vis’ bunts. “Raegan laid down three of the best bunts - push bunts or soft slaps,” Handy said. “They were just perfect. If she can do that all year, she’s going to be a huge asset.” • Sports Briefs • War Eagle softball team bounces back DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 6, 2025 - B7DAVIE CO.

If you are cooking gluten free, the only substitution is the soy sauce. This is a quick entrée to prepare and is always delicious.Easy Glazed Salmon1/3 cup pure maple syrup (pure maple syrup is gluten free: I use Kirkland’s from Costco)2 Tablespoons soy sauce (Kikkoman Gluten Free Soy Sauce)1 clove garlic minced¼ teaspoon garlic powder1/8 teaspoon black pepper1/8 teaspoon salt1 pound salmon filetStir maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, garlic powder and pep-per together in a small bowl. Cut salmon into 4 equal piec-es. Place in a shallow glass baking dish and coat with maple syrup mixture. Cover the dish and marinate salmon in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, turning once halfway. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Uncover the baking dish and place in the preheated oven and bake until flesh easily flakes with a fork, about 15-20 minutes or until thickest part of the salmon is a minimum temperature of 145 °. This temperature ensures that the salmon is safe to eat and kills any potential bacteria. Enjoy. Blessings.
