She lives in another histor-ic house next door, and is opening the house that Saturday so people can swap stories.She’s already heard quite a few: like one man, who said that in Miss Vada’s classroom, when a girl entered, the boys stood up Keeping history and cinnamon rolls alive in Farmington Laura Mathis looks at Johnson family memorabilia, includ- ing Miss Vada Johnson’s doll. - Photo by Mike Barnhardt until the girl was seated.She taught more than math and reading, although she knew those were necessary. She taught man-ners. And she put it upon herself to let her students know that there was a world well beyond Farm-ington and the school where she taught.Like Miss Vada, Laura Mathis loves history. And she inherit-ed many of Miss Vada’s things (She apparently never threw any-thing in the trash.), such as part of a hatchet from property where Daniel Boone once lived; letters; pamphlets from faraway places she would share with students; playbills from shows she had seen, only to come back to Farm-ington and somehow adapt them to the local stage; and diaries.Miss Vada’s family was among the first to settle in Farmington, moving here from the family’s Please See Miss Vada - Page 4 By Mike BarnhardtEnterprise Record BERMUDA RUN - A Habitat for Humanity house is almost com-plete in Mocksville, ready for a local family to move in.And last week, thanks to some volunteers from Davidson-Davie Community College, pre-work has begun on yet another home.It was the third year the college provided volunteers on its day of giving, a day during spring break when employees are encouraged to go into the community for volunteer work, a project started by the late Dr. Darrin Hartness.

Maybe when you moved to a new neighborhood? In my life, I’ve had many jobs – some good, some fun, some not so good and not so fun. But they all had the common issue of getting to know at least a few of the people at work or in the neigh-borhood. Looking back, I wish I’d had a good icebreaker tool in my backpack. The Six Word Memoir is one I could learn to love.Take 30 seconds to write down six words that summarize your life. For me, I’d say my words are: Learner, writer, mother, creative, farmer, and believer. I’d be more comfortable if the game allowed me to modify a few with “lifelong” or others with “new.” If we had just met and were having coffee at one of our local beaneries, I’d explain a little more when my turn came around.I’m a lifelong learner. I can learn something from almost any-one, and learn something from every challenge. You all have dif-ferent life experiences than I do, different viewpoints, different dreams, different goals. I would hope we share at least a few val-ues, and I guess we share at least some common geography if we’re in the same county. With more than a few decades’ wear on my joints, I’m back in school again and loving the experience, even as I sometimes grumble at the homework.I’m a near-lifelong writer. Al-though from kindergarten through 11th grade, English was not my favorite subject, my creative writ-ing class as a high school senior changed that. One class, one teach-er can make a big difference! To- day, I write many things from fic-tion to technical documents, and have worked my way through times when I truly loved the craft, and tru-ly loathed it. I’m working my way back to loving it at the moment.I’m a mother. No need to put “lifelong” or “new” on this one. Two daughters, both grown, mar-ried, and my oldest is expecting her first child. As with all parents, the experience changed me, and I spent many a night celebrating the people they became, and soul-searching to understand the problems we had along the way.I’m a lifelong creative. I practice a couple of art forms, although not as frequently as I’d like right now. While my creativity is often the last thing I get to express, it’s usually the one I crave the most.I’m a new farmer. It wasn’t what I intended to do when I retired from my day job, but it’s the mission that was given to me by one who knows more than I do and has plans to prosper me. So I’ll do my best to make it happen until I’m told to do otherwise. (Yes, there’s a bigger story in there, which I’ll save for another time.)That story ties nicely with my last word. I’m an almost-new be-liever. For most of my life, I sub-scribed to the “powers-that-be” assertion: there’s some unknowable Being greater than any human, but He turned us loose down here on this earth with free will and a thin but clear set of rules. But after a few “turning points” where terri-ble things almost happened, but “something” intervened and I es-caped unscathed, I reconsidered the hands-off attitude. Like the time I was sitting at a red light but when the light turned green I felt a pow-erful surge of patience (not some-thing I was known for at the time). I sat there and counted to three as I moved my foot to the gas pedal – on three, a pickup truck roared from the road to my left, ran the light, and continued away into the darkness. As you might guess, I sat there for another three seconds, catching my breath! That was just one example of many, but it took a few more years before I really believed. Today, I do my best to show my belief in my actions and consider that belief as part of every decision I make.After pondering my six words, I can say they will not change in the next decade. If you have a chance, think about your Six Word Memoir. What words would you share with a new neighbor or coworker? I Can Only ImagineA Story of LossBy E. Bishop The 1999 crossover hit “I Can Only Imagine” by MercyMe, writ-ten and sung by lead singer Bard Millard is based on his years grow-ing up with an abusive father whom later redeemed himself before his passing. At his father’s funeral, Mr. Millard’s grandmother made the comment “I can only imagine what your dad’s seeing now.” He became obsessed with that phrase and would continually write it down until he finally saw it as a sign and wrote the beautiful lyrics to this song.I can only imagineWhat it will be likeWhen I walk by Your sideI can only imagineWhat my eyes would seeWhen Your face is before meI can only imagine, Yeah” While listening to this song with its accompanying video of peo-ple showing pictures of their lost loved ones, I can see how it reso-nates with so many people. It has a universal message of faith, hope and divine love. So, when I hear the words to this song, I think of my mother and father who lost three children at a young age and wonder how they coped with such tragedy. I don’t even pretend to understand. Mother and Daddy were mar-ried Nov. 28, 1935 in Davidson County, N.Ca. She was 22; he was 31 years of age. In 1940, they would lose their second born son. The following was taken from the Davie Record of March 1, 1940. “Child Burned When 140 Year Old Hanes Home Destroyed By Fire”John Henry, 17-month old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold (Buck) Frye who lived about two miles from Fork on the Advance road on the Hanes place, died at the Mocks-ville hospital last Saturday after-noon. The child was fatally burned while asleep in a cradle in the room where the fire started about 11 a.m. Not only were the home and con-tents totally destroyed but the fam-ily lost about $50 in money they had in the home. In addition to their supply of freshly killed meat, Mr. Frye was burned around the face, neck and one hand in rescuing the child and Mrs. Frye had one hand burned. The fire is thought to have originated behind a mantle where a brick had fallen out shortly prior to the fire. Mrs. Frye was in the kitch-en preparing dinner, called her hus-band outside where he was at work when the fire was discovered. The funeral for the child was held Sun-day afternoon at Fulton Church, with Rev. P.L. Smith officiating. The parents and a small brother survive.”The house, about 140 years old, was one of the landmarks in Davie County. It was about 75 feet long, three large rooms in a row on the front and constructed of oak and pine logs, daubed, chinked, weath-er boarded and painted. One of the early American type, the home was built by Joseph Hanes, who with his brother, Jacob, Moravians from near Old Salem, settled in Fulton and each built homes there. The Jacob Hanes home is still stand-ing. Joseph Hanes was the great grandfather of Miss Sallie and Jake Hanes of Mocksville and the grand-father of J.W. and P.H. Hanes of Winston-Salem. The Frye family are recuperating at the home of Mr. Frye’s mother. The latter’s sister, Mrs. Richard Bier, a nurse of New-ark, NJ is attending them.Taken from the Davie Record Jan. 19, 1944: “Child Hangs Self’“Lillie Florence Fry, 16 months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.H. Fry near Elbaville accidentally hung herself Sunday morning at 11 o’clock, while playing with a sew-ing machine. The belt accidentally got around the child’s neck and she is thought to have fallen off a chair, causing the belt to choke her. Fu-neral services were held at Fulton Methodist Church Monday after-noon at 3 o’clock, with Revs. J. C.S. Gentry and P.L. Smith conducting the services. Burial followed in the church cemetery. Surviving are the parents, one brother and one sister.The last of ten children, Jimmy Lee, would succumb to a birth de-fect at 6 months old Feb. 12, 1957. Losing their home, losing chil-dren and having to continue to build a solid foundation for the rest of life surely was a struggle for my parents. I doubt that would have been possible without that faith, hope and divine love. Recollections about Peter Stewart NeyBy Linda H. BarnetteOne of the things I like about doing research in our library history room is that I often find unexpect-ed information matter what subject I’m researching. Recently I was go-ing through the “L” files Looking for material pertinent to the People, Not Property project when I came across some pages copied from a book called “Before and after Ex-ecution, “a recollection of the au-thor’s father’s memories about his old teacher, Peter Stewart Ney.Ney was supposedly one of the generals of Napoleon Bonaparte who was killed by firing squad af-ter the downfall of Napoleon. How-ever, many people seem to believe that the teacher, Ney, and the Mar-shal were one and the same.The author of the book was John Alexander Locke of Asheboro, who swore to the veracity of his mate-rial on September 22, 1928, in Randolph County. It’s all written in the form of a letter to Dr. J. E. Smoot in Concord, North Carolina. Apparently, Dr. Smoot initiated the conversation to which John Lockee was responding.His father had attended elemen-tary schools in the Davie, Rowan, and Iredell area in which Mr. Ney was his teacher. We know, for ex-ample, that Ney taught right here in what is now Mocksville, in schools on Salisbury Street and perhaps Depot Street. So these memories were passed from father to son and then written to Dr. Smoot. By Dean Ridings, CEOAmerica’s Newspapers Not that many years ago, the best way you could find out about businesses in town would be through your local newspaper. Your local newspaper is still a great source of advertising infor-mation, but if you’re looking for something, chances are you're go-ing to start by "Googling it." Have you ever wondered why that's be-come our go-to move? Well, a re-cent court ruling has shed some light on this, and it's not a pretty picture.A federal judge ruled that Goo-gle has been running an illegal mo-nopoly in the search engine market. Now, you might be thinking, "So what? Google's just really good at what they do, right?" Well, it’s not quite that simple. The judge found that Google has been using tactics that squash competition and keep themselves at the top of the heap.This is admittedly a complex issue, but this monopoly hasn't just hurt other tech companies; it's been slowly suffocating your local newspapers and, by extension, your communities.How? Well, a few years ago if a lo-cal business wanted to advertise, they'd come to the local newspaper, the most effective place to promote a local business. That advertising revenue was used to pay journalists to cover your town hall meetings, high school sports and local events. Newspapers were the watchdogs, keeping an eye on your local gov-ernment and celebrating your com-munity's achievements.Enter Google. As they exerted their influence on the advertising market, those local advertising dollars started flowing to them instead of your hometown newspaper. The impact was significant and newspaper ad-vertising revenue has continued to decline. The result? Fewer reporters on the street. Less coverage of your local issues. Some newspapers have even had to shut doors completely. And since Google has no local reporters (they take the content from local newspa-pers and other sources), local news and information gets harder to find.Google’s actions have had a real impact on your community. When local news suffers, studies show that voter turnout drops, corruption goes unchecked and people feel Newspapers still the best source for fair, reliable information Donald Trump creating jobs Mail ... less connected to their neighbors.So, what’s next? This ruling is a good start. It's a recognition that the playing field needs to be leveled. But it's just the first step. There are legislative efforts underway aimed at giving news publishers a fighting chance. The next time you "Google" something, remember that conve-nience comes at a cost. And it's a cost we've all been paying, often without even realizing it. It's time to have a real conversation about how we can create a digital world that doesn't just work for Big Tech, but for our local communities, too.Whether it's through antitrust actions, new legislation or a com-bination of both, we need to find a way to ensure that local journalism doesn't just survive but thrives in the digital age. Because at the end of the day, a Google search might tell you where to find the clos-est pizza place, but it's your local newspaper that's going to tell you what's really going on in your com-munity. And that's something worth fighting for.Our democracy depends on it.

And a book, “Rich Man: Daniel Boone,” de-scribes his efforts to improve roads in this country.The book’s author, Ever-ette G. Marshall, spoke at a ceremony Sunday at a Dan-iel Boone Trail marker at the Davie County Courthouse in Downtown Mocksville, sponsored by the Davie His-torical & Genealogical Soci-ety. It is the 100th anniversa-ry of the marker’s placement.Marshall’s interest started years ago in his hometown of Hillsville, Va., when he noticed one of the markers Mr. Rich had placed along highways across the country.Marshall gave a history of how the markers came about.Growing up in Davie County, Mr. Rich knew about Daniel Boone and his exploits. The Boy Scouting effort in 1914 was somewhat based on Boone. Marshall called Boone the country’s “first Eagle Scout.”When Cuba was strug-gling with Spanish control in 1895, US President William McKinley ordered the USS Maine to Havana Harbor, where it sunk in 1898. Rich later got some 400 pounds of salvaged scrap metal from The Maine to make the markers. He was already convinced that automobiles were the transportation for the future after mass assem-blies of the Model T Ford began in 1913.“Vehicles became avail-able for middle class Amer-icans to own and operate,” Marshall said. But the roads were dirt and mud, full of ruts and went over private property. Rich started the Good Roads Movement to make improvements, first hiring teen boys to keep wooden planks on the dirt; later lobbying for govern-ments to take over roads. “He was a community man and he had a focus on im-proving his community.”Some of his main ear-ly arguments were to speed US Post Office deliveries, as well as for school buses.He took his plea to Wash-ington, D.C. in 1913 and asked the senators from North Carolina to join his ef-forts. They refused.Undeterred, Rich went above their heads. “Mr. Rich wasn’t going to be outdone, so he took his idea to Presi-dent Woodrow Wilson, who liked the idea.”Roads started to improve, and Rich formed the Daniel Boone Trail Highway Asso-Some things just belong together Save when you insure your home and auto with ERIE.

He hadn’t; Rich just used Boone’s name because he was a trailblazer during his time, making way for peo-ple to move west, just as the highway system was doing.Because of that, many of the markers were later removed by communities where Boone hadn’t visited. Marshall has documented 60 of the original 358 metal tab-lets, and his work continues.“It was meant to be a memorial highway with Mr. Boone’s name on it,” Mar-shall said. “Daniel Boone is known as a trailblazer. He opened roads ... and he was from Davie County, too. Mr. Rich claimed to have been raised on the property where Daniel Boone lived with his wife.”The monuments face west. Rich took support for road improvements seri-ously, and sought donations wherever he went. “Mr. Rich took it another step. He called it Americanism ... and promoted Daniel Boone to thousands of students.“History is roots. Daniel Boone and Joseph Hampton Rich made significant contri-butions to American history. When I come to a monument like this, I call the monument a pulpit, the words a sermon and the community the con-gregation.” Historian Marcia Phillips shows a visitor some of the books detailing the history of Davie County. - Photos by Mike Barnhardt Author Grady Marshall with descendants of Joseph Hampton “Hamp” Rich.

One man, thinking back on his boyhood days, said he “cut up” is Miss Vada’s classroom. She didn’t say anything at first. “She asked him to come up to the desk after school,” Laura said. “She gave him instructions on how to find her house and to paint her white picket fence. He said it really taught him a lesson.”Miss Vada wrote gover-nor’s and presidents, asking them to send brochures or other information that she could share with students. “She was their internet,” Laura said.When electricity came to Farmington, her lesson plan included a history of lighting, from candles to oil lamps to the modern day.“It’s like a museum in here,” Laura said. “I just want to share it with every-body.”She was going through a chest of Miss Vada’s belong-ings, and found a postcard about a service station with a tea room in the back, which she had visited. Miss Vada created a play for her stu-dents about a tea party, and the name of one of the char-acters was Laura.“These things let me know that I was going in the right direction.”Laura’s business has tak-en off since she started it a couple of years ago.“It’s encouraging that people will drive quite a distance to come here,” she said. Customers dine in the historic house, or on a pa-tio out back that overlooks “Miss Vada’s Garden.” There are also baked goods for sale daily. “To me, if they’re will-ing to drive here, we must be doing something right.”Laura operated Herbal Accents (She believes in the natural ways.) from her home next door, and took the leap to purchase the Johnson home when it became avail-able.

Continued From Page 2The most interesting recollection by Dr. Locke’s father was of his going to the post office to get Mr. Ney’s mail. The paper contained the news that Napoleon Bonaparte’s young son had died, causing Ney to be overcome with sadness, which must have been obvious to his students. Apparently, he had thought that the son would become the Emperor of France. And why would he have been so upset if it were not personal to him?When the school term ended that year, Ney went to live with the Locke family. The Locke son, John, eventually left to study medicine in Kentucky. When he returned, he settled at Osborne Foard’s land in Rowan Mills. Mr. Foard built an of-fice where Dr. Locke and Peter Ney both lived. Ney continued to teach in various schools in the area.When Ney became ill in 1846, Dr. Locke, John Locke’s father, called in several other local doctors to check on his friend. He finally told Ney that his illness was fatal and told Ney that he wanted to know his true identity. Ney’s response was this: “I will not die with a lie on my mouth; I am Marshal Ney, the Bravest of the Brave, Napoleon Bonaparte’s right-hand bower.” Through these many years, scholars have tried to prove Ney’s identity. His body was exhumed 3 times with incon-clusive results. The latest group of scholars from France were able to find DNA on his flute at Davidson College and deter-mined that he was not the Marshal, but those of us who are dreamers still wonder.

While I am hopeful the work gets completed in the next couple weeks, we will like-ly need to push this event to April to allow enough time for some additional planning for such an important event.”In a proposed action item, the council approved a res-olution to dissolve the Ber-muda Run Vision Committee and create a new “Christmas in Bermuda Run” Committee.Meadwell said that this is the next step in an action plan to bring community events under the umbrella of Ber-muda Run where they will be fully funded by the town. He added that committee mem-bers will be appointed and another budget amendment will need to be done.Brannon said he was ex-cited that this will “ultimately transition into one of the sig-nature events” in the town but also applauded the work that has done by the vision com-mittee over the years.• The council approved a budget amendment from a staff request of $10,000 go-ing from the General Fund to be allocated to education and travel expenses for coun-cil members. Meadwell said that it was discussed in last month’s meeting that staff identified in this year’s fiscal year budget that there were no line items for town council training.• Council members re-ceived a presentation from Lori Koethe, campus admin-istrator of Davie Medical Center, and Dr. Matt Cline, chief medical officer of the facility, which opened in Bermuda Run in 2009.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 20, 2025 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie softball team is hum-ming along with a seven-game winning streak, and its 7-1 record through March 13 marked the greatest start since the 2006 squad opened 8-1. “We’re on a roll,” coach Nathan Handy said. “We will start the meat of our conference play (this) week. In the grand scheme of things, these are just prep games for our three biggest rivals in conference - East Forsyth, West Forsyth and Reagan. We’re playing well. We’ve got a lot of good things going for us.”Davie 7, CD 3Sophomore Addie Brown put the War Eagles in the driver’s seat in a 7-3 nonconference win at Central Davidson on March 10. With Jadyn Davis on first in the top of the third inning, Brown blasted a two-out, two-run homer to break up a scoreless game. “Addie has been hitting well all year,” coach Nathan Handy said af-ter Brown’s first bomb of the season. “She’s been putting a lot of work in offensively. They pitched her low. It looked like a drop ball on the outside corner of the plate. She got her hands down to it and it took off. It was a deep shot. Their fence is 210 and it easily cleared it.”With Brenna Altiers, Hanna Stei-nour and Landry Parsons on base in the fifth, Raegan Davis opened the floodgates with a bases-clearing triple. When the dust settled, it was 7-0. “They changed pitchers in that inning,” Handy said. “We had them shook up. We were just waiting for the right opportunity to provide us with some extra runs. They played their outfield real shallow as Reagan is slapping, and she hit it right down the left-field line. The left fielder barely missed the ball and it rolled all the way to the fence. It was a big moment in the game. She’s been a huge asset since she’s been in the lineup. I told her I look at you in the nine hole as a second leadoff, and she’s been doing a great job getting on base.”Carleigh Croom (2-4, walk) and R. Davis (2-4, three RBIs) had the biggest offensive games, and Riley Potts threw 5.2 scoreless innings with 11 Ks before exiting in the sixth. The Spartans got all three of their runs off Davie relievers. “We don’t want to use and abuse Riley too much in nonconference games,” Handy said. “The goal is to win every game, absolutely, but we want to make sure we give her enough rest.”Davie 8, Starmount 3The War Eagles experienced lousy luck for most of a home nonconference game on March 13. Despite being winless, the Rams (0-5) held a 3-1 lead after five and a half innings. “We hit the ball real well. We just couldn’t find a hole,” Handy said. “Their shortstop and third baseman played phenomenal games. Every hard-hit ball seemed to find someone. Autumn McEwen hit one that had to go 197. The left fielder tracked it down perfectly and made a great catch. We also had base-run-ning mistakes and shot ourselves in the foot two or three times.”After Starmount’s pitcher per-mitted just two runs on five hits in the first five innings, Davie’s light-ning-strike offense was nails in the sixth. Two walks and an error were blended with singles from Altiers and L. Parsons. Then came the defining moment, a two-run double by McEwen. “I knew at any time we were going to bust it open, I just wasn’t sure when,” Handy said. After Croom reached, J. Davis delivered the final dagger with the second two-run double of the six-run inning. Then Raelyn Lankford became the ninth straight batter to reach base as Davie scored the six runs on five hits, two walks and two errors. “We went through some adver-sity for the first time since South Parsons on tear for Davie softball Please See Streaking - Page B3 By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record After an unspectacular first half, everything gelled for Davie’s varsity soccer team in the second half as it buried visiting West Stokes 5-0 on March 12. “We looked good in the second half,” coach Corbin Kopetzky said after Davie rolled up three goals after halftime. “We really came to-gether and we positioned really well. I’ve been telling my wingers they really need to get out wide. They did a lot better job of that tonight and it opened up a lot of opportunities. I think they’re fixing some of the mis-takes that we’ve identified on film.”The offensive ringleader was not a surprise: Lanna Robinson, a junior who recorded her third career hat trick. “Like I’ve said in the past, she puts pressure on people’s back lines, she makes people uncomfortable and that opens up a lot for us,” Kopetzky said. “I’ll say Ava (Hale) contributed to some of that, too.”Caroline Mitchell and Hale had the other two goals. Lydia Postell, Robinson and Stella Frye had the assists. “Ava crashed the goal beautifully like I tell them to do all the time,” Kopetzky said. “She had another one she almost scored on, but unfortu-nately we were offside. “Caroline had another ringer. She came to me last summer and said: ‘Coach, what can I do to be more successful?’ I said: ‘Take shots from 30 yards out and get good at it.’ She did that over the summer and now she’s doing it in games. “Stella played a great ball inside the 18 and put it exactly where we needed it to be. Lanna played it from there and one-touched it in the back of the net. “Lydia helped Lanna get some of those openings. She is really mobile in that midfield spot with the ball at her feet, and it pulls defenders so Lanna can have more opportunities.”Davie 0, AC 0The War Eagles were kicking themselves after a tie with visiting Alexander Central on March 14. The Cougars (0-2-3) are winless, but 75 percent of the game was a dud for Davie (3-1-1). “We didn’t play well for about 60 minutes,” Kopetzky said. “We Robinson scores third hat trick for Davie soccer team Please See Soccer - Page B4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Another week, another epic Coy James moment. James made history by launching two home runs at Davie’s eight-year-old ballpark, Drew Krause was incredible behind the plate and Da-vie’s varsity baseball team held off visiting Lake Norman in a thrilling 6-5 battle on March 11. The War Eagles, who came in 1-4 with three straight losses, definitely needed this for their psyche. It was a resounding win over a team that was 6-0. The Wildcats had outscored their opponents 29-5 while never allowing more than two runs in a game. “Lake Norman is a very sound team,” coach Joey Anderson said. “Their pitcher hit 91 (mph) a couple of times, but we put hits together. It was a great win that we needed.”In the bottom of the first, James rode the fourth pitch he saw over the left-center fence for a 1-0 lead. The leadoff man would repeat the feat later. In the Davie second, Carson Queen singled after the first two batters were retired. Hayden Potts walked. After getting down 1-2 in the count, James drew a free pass. Then Logan Allen stepped up, jumping on the first offering and delivering a two-run single. Hunter Potts followed with a hit that gave Davie a 4-0 lead. Lake Norman rallied within 5-3, but a monumental moment came in James makes ‘more’ history with 2 HRs the sixth, when James led off with another solo homer, this one to left. Before this night, there had been four long balls off Davie bats at the field that opened in 2018. Carson Whisenhunt went deep in April of 2018. Whisenhunt did it again in March of 2019. James blasted one out in March of 2022. And in a JV game, Hunter Daywalt went yard in March of 2022. Now James has three of the six dingers at Davie, which is like hit-ting one out of the Astrodome. And he’s obviously the first to hit two in one game at Davie. “It’s 365 (feet) to the corners and left-center is right around there,” Anderson said. “Center field is 395 or 396. He hit it on top of the hill in left field.” Anderson got what he was hop-ing for from starter Tucker Hobbs and reliever Colin Harrison. Hobbs pitched into the fifth and came away the winner. “Tucker, on his 18th birthday, threw a real good game,” Anderson said. “He kept them offbalance and he pretty much stopped the run game.”The Wildcats, though, did not go quietly in the seventh. They stroked four hits and gave Davie a serious scare. But Harrison hung in there, got massive help from Krause and recorded the save after working 2.2 innings. “We had a couple of mistakes late or they might not have scored (two in the seventh),” Anderson said. “Since Harrison had been in those situations earlier in the year, he was able to stay calm and get out of it.”Davie can thank its catcher for surviving the high-wire act in the seventh. With no outs, after Lake Norman had opened the inning with back-to-back hits, Krause blocked a pitch in the dirt and gunned a runner trying to advance to third. Hayden Potts applied the tag. Four batters later, with the score 6-5, Lake Nor-man tried to get the tying run into scoring position. Lo and behold, Krause threw him out, too, to end the game. Krause has been just as reliable at the plate. “Most of the stolen bases that they’ve had off of him, guys have not done a very good job of hold-ing them on or he was off with his throw just a little bit,” Anderson said. “Sometimes Drew gets a little amped up. He’s our go-to guy when we need somebody fired up, but sometimes we’ve got to put a leash on him. He’s a firecracker and he’s been playing great baseball. He’s been hitting line drives and using the backside. And what he’s done behind the plate for us has been special.”James has been so hot with the bat that his average dropped on a 2-for-3 night with three runs, dip-ping from .733 to .722. After this one, he stood at 13 for 18 with three homers. It was the first two-homer performance by a War Eagle in 62 games, dating to Davin Whitaker’s two bombs in a 22-10 loss at High Point Christian in April of 2022. Davie got a big boost from Allen, who went 2 for 4 to break out of a slump. LN 9, Davie 7The March 13 rematch with Lake Norman felt like a scene from 1965, 1971, 1987, 1999, 2006 or 2011. The War Eagles were back at Rich Park for a “Throwback Game.” This launching pad was Davie’s home field from 1957-2017. Unfortunately, Lake Norman spoiled the return to Mando Field by erasing Davie’s 3-1 lead and staving off the War Eagles after they got within 6-5 and 8-7. “It was packed,” Anderson said. “They looked up at the hill and it seemed like it went on forever. The atmosphere that they brought was really good. We’re going to try to make it a permanent thing (once a year). It obviously has a little age to it. I know that they’re working on improvements to the infield. It was definitely different.”In the bottom of the first, James was at it again, barreling a clothes-line shot over the left-field fence. After Hunter Potts walked, Krause drove a two-run homer over the wall in left to stake Davie to the 3-1 lead. “I was like: ‘Crap, here we go.’ Because everybody’s going to say I can hit it out, and it kind of went that way,” Anderson said. Indeed, Davie’s bats cooled off and the Wildcats took full advantage of Davie’s inability to throw strikes in the third. They put up five runs on Please See James - Page B5 Umpire Chris Pauling watches a play at the plate and Davie’s Hayden Potts is called safe. - Photos by Marnic Lewis Sophomore Ava Hale plays left wing.

When it came off the bat, I thought it might be a home run. It was a hard line drive, a one-hopper off the fence.”Earlier, in the Starmount Streaking ... North Davie’s baseball team stayed in it until the end, but visiting Central Davidson pulled it out late in a 2-1 de-cision on March 11. The game was tied at 1 in the top of the seventh before Central took the lead on a double. The Wildcats lost despite outhitting Central 10-6 and not committing an error. Pax-ton Broadus, Easton Stanley and Landon McCann each collected two hits. Central got on the board in the first, but Colton Norman singled down the right-field line to help North tie the game at 1 in the fourth. Aydan Shay started on the bump for the Wildcats, the lefthander allowing just four hits and one run over six innings while striking out seven. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s JV baseball team and visiting Lake Norman were tied at 3 after four and a half innings, but the War Eagles gritted their way to a 6-4 victory on March 11. Davie took the lead for good in the bottom of the fifth, a two-run uprising that was sparked by Tanner Steinour’s one-out single. The tie was broken by Noah Potts’ sac fly. Preston Young would score with two outs to give Davie a 5-3 lead. Davie got an insurance run in the sixth. With Tay Settecasi on second with two outs, Michael Saunders came through with a pinch-hit RBI single. Martin, Shore all‑district The Davie girls basketball team was represented on the District-11 team. Sophomore Avarie Martin made second team all-district, and freshman Gracie Shore made third team. A total of 15 girls were selected. Spillman shoots 40 in Davie win Carter Spillman broke 40 for the second time in four tries as Davie’s golf team won a nonconference match at Pudding Ridge on March 12. Spillman paced Davie with a 4-over 39, followed by Seager Brooks (40), Tyler Shore (41) and Wade Bomar (41). The team scores: Davie 161, North Wilkes 169, Forbush 209. Richardson hat trick in defeat Kayden Richardson scored three goals, but Davie’s girls lacrosse team was blown out, 16-4, by visiting Grimsley on March 10. Lyndsay Davis had a goal as Davie (1-1) played its first game in 13 days. The Whirlies improved to 3-1. The Davie boys lacrosse team has blazed through four opponents, marking the best start in six years. The War Eagles over-whelmed visiting Grimsley 18-4 on March 10. Jack Pi-sciotta and Ty Carter poured in six goals each as Davie built leads of 9-2, 14-4 and 17-4. Davie also got goals from Jayce Bentley, Henry Hines, Evan Helms, Owen Blakely, Avery Tinkham and Caleb Coble. Pisciotta added five assists to his dominating perfor-mance.

Blake French was 0 for 1 but scored twice and stole two bases. Anderson showered praise on Steinour and Shenberger. “Tanner and Taylor both have very good swings,” he said. “As far as a varsity-style swing, Taylor’s pretty close - and Brandon Forrest. Ev-erybody wants a ballplayer like Tanner. He’s one of those guys who’s always going to be dirty. He’s always going to try to do the right thing. He’s fast and athletic. He’ll try to bunt, he will try to hit-and-run and he’ll hit one in the gap. He’s a catcher but we let him run for himself. He can fly. He ran indoor track this winter. If he’s not the fastest on the team, he’s pretty close.”On the mound, Easton Sanders walked six in three innings but compensated by not allowing a hit and holding the Wildcats to one run. Ian Patton impressed in relief by striking out eight in four innings and only giving up one earned run. “Easton did a very good job, especially for his first outing as a starter,” Anderson said. “Easton stepped up and Patton’s pitching was real nice to see.”Davie 16, Wheatmore 5Davie took complete com-mand with an eight-run inning as it steamrolled Wheatmore on the road on March 12. It was 1-1 before the War Eagles erupted for eight in the top of the third. They did the massive damage with six hits and three walks. For good measure, they poured across six runs in the fifth and final inning. The offensive ringleaders were Brandon Forrest (3-4, two runs, four RBIs, walk) and Potts (2-3, two runs, three RBIs, walk, double, triple). “Brandon is still going through an injury, so he’s only allowed to play a certain amount of innings,” Anderson said. “We’re building him up to where he can play the whole game.“Potts is a big kid. He has very good potential. We’ve been working on a few things with him at the plate, trying to fix a little bit of his bottom half. When he gets a hold of it, he’s got power. He has made a position change from third base to first base and we’re developing him into a closer role.”All three pitchers were effective as Davie outhit the Warriors 11-4. Potts and Ma-son Boger tossed two innings each before Nick Cannon worked a 1-2-3 fifth. Davie 7, LN 6French may have been the MVP in the second win in three days over Lake Norman, this one being held at Rich Park on March 13. French went 2-3 with a home run, two RBIs and a walk. “Blake is an athlete,” An-derson said. “He’s one of the most athletic guys we have out there. He could be very beneficial in the future. He has speed and plays a very good outfield. We need him to be more consistent at the plate, but he’s swinging a hot bat right now.”Forrest (1-3, three runs, double, walk), Potts (1-4), Sanders (1-4, two RBIs) and Austin Samuels (1-3) enabled Davie to match Lake Norman in hits, 6-6. The War Eagles led by scores of 3-1 and 7-3 before having to hold on in the sixth and final inning. With Davie clinging to the 7-6 lead and runners at the corners and two outs, Cannon got a strikeout to secure the fourth straight win for Davie (5-3). After Levi Block held the Wildcats to one earned run in three innings, Cannon earned the save by working the last three frames. “Levi threw real well in the fall,” Anderson said. “Levi has been doing a good job of listening to the older guys and trying to work on his craft.” Marketing Solutionsfor YOUR business Newspapers • Special Sections OurDavie.com • Digital Marketing Business Card Directory Including: SEO, SEM, Targeted Marketing, Social and Reputation Management, Website Design, AND MORE.

But then Potts turned the water off, striking out the next six bat-ters and finishing with 12 Ks in a three-hitter. Croom, the reliable leadoff batter, went 2 for 4. L. Par-sons (2-2, walk) and McEwen (2-3) also had two hits and Steinour doubled as Davie achieved the best start in 19 years. “Hanna hit one that was ripped in the second inning, a one-hopper off the fence,” Handy said of the second baseman who also had a de-fensive gem in the third. “The ball was hit a couple of steps away from (first baseman Brown), and Hanna went all but behind first base. That was a phenomenal (4-3) play, a great show of her skills.”Potts has rolled up 57 strikeouts in 32.1 innings, and L. Parsons’ sophomore bat has been something to see - 12 for 18 for a Coy James-like .666 average. “Landry has been phe-nomenal this year,” Handy said. “She’s come up clutch so many times.” Boys LAX off to best start since ‘19 Pisciotta racked up seven assists. T. Carter had three, while Helms and Hines had two. W. Carter and Will Hed-rick had one. Pisciotta’s fingerprints are all over the hot start as he’s amassed 45 points (24 goals, 21 assists). T. Carter is second with 13 goals. Hines and T. Carter are tied for second in assists with six. North baseball loses in the end B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, March 20, 2025 Soccer ...

We’ve had a good stretch and maybe we got a little comfortable.“We didn’t play bad, but they came in with some en-ergy. They knew they had a big game. We were 3-1 and they were looking for some hope. They got hot early and they carried that the rest of the game. We’ve got to make minor adjustments.”Junior VarsityAlexander Central’s ex-perience made a significant difference in the Davie JV team’s 3-1 loss. “Alexander Central’s de-fense was really good,” coach Collin Ferebee said. “I spoke to their coach after the game and he said that his back four had played together all of last year and this year, and in JV world, that’s massive experience.”The War Eagles, who trailed 1-0 at halftime, got a goal from Whinifer Jaquez. But it wasn’t enough to keep Davie from slipping to 1-1-1. “Whinifer hit a beautiful ball from about 22-25 yards out,” Ferebee said. “It’s prob-ably our prettiest goal since (Fuller Kate Holt’s) last year at Reynolds.“We played okay - not our best, but it wasn’t a bad game. We had two bad mistakes overall which led directly to goals or otherwise I think it ends 1-1.” RANDY MILLER& SONS 295 Miller Road • Mocksville(336) 284-2826 • We Pump Septic Tanks • SEPTIC TANK SERVICE Septic SystemsFootingsLoader Work Skid Steer WorkTrencher WorkHauling StateCertifiedInspector On a corner kick, a West Stokes player undercuts Davie senior defender Jaden Sink.

Lake Norman did some-thing you never see in James’ second at-bat in the third - it intentionally walked him to lead off the inning. The move backfired as Davie scored twice to cut the margin to 6-5. After falling behind 8-5, the War Eagles rallied within 8-7. But they came up short to fall to 2-5. “I felt like we let that *Eligible tires for the $80 Bridgestone Prepaid Card: Bridgestone Dueler™ or Turanza™ products.

He went 1-2 with three runs and two walks in the 9-7 loss as his average “dropped” to .700. With four homers, he already has the most in 10 years (Brandon Lankford had six in 2015). With 12 career homers, he’s in position to threaten the record of 16 by Matt Marion from 1988-90. Zach Howard (2004-07) and Corey Randall (2010-12) are next on the list with 14 apiece. ... Krause, who went 2-3 with four RBIs, has been sensational as a senior, hitting .476 (10-21). This was his first varsity homer, and it was the first over-the-fence homer by a War Eagle other than James since April of 2023 at Parkland. ...

Hotdog Saturday this week at New Union By Shirley ThorneCounty Line Correspondent Our community has been enjoying the beautiful warm days with which the Lord has blessed us. The warm March 2025 has been different from March 1960. That was the year we had deep snows the first three Wednesdays in March fol-lowed by single-digit temps at night. I was a freshman at Cool Spring High. For me, the eerie part was that each Wednesday it began snowing about 9:30 a.m., by 9:50 a.m. the ground was covered, and Principal Madison said on the intercom, "Students go to your buses. School is being dismissed."Friends Jo and Diane used a piece of old linoleum as a sled. I used the lid of an old wringer washer. I built three huge snowmen and a snow block wall.There were also sad times as many folks had water pipes to freeze and burst. Neigh-bors helped each other when needed. Neighbors Roy and Clara West and son Billy had just added baby Terry to their family that January. As they liams, Maria Knight, Violet Coursey, Clyde Jordan, Jack Seaford, Sue Seaford, Fred Beck, Michele Dyson, Hilda Keaton, Jenny Ely, Sandra Dyson, Bob Ellis, Terry Dys-on and Jimmy Thompson. Please keep Randy and Regi-na Miller and family in prayer who lost their home due to fire.
