By Jim BuiceEnterprise Record BERMUDA RUN - If resi-dents were surprised by the re-paving work being done by NC-DOT on US 158 last week, they weren’t the only ones.Town Manager Andrew Mead-well said in last week’s town council meeting that the town “found out like most of you when we saw the equipment being un-loaded,” adding that this is a NC-DOT resurfacing project.“This project was let, I think, two years ago,” he said. “If you recall last summer, DOT contrac-tors were working on 158 going out of Bermuda Run toward Bal-timore Road. So they started this end of the project at the Yadkin River bridge coming forward (to Peachtree Lane (Truist Bank/Food Lion). They did not let the town know that they were going to be doing this work.”Meadwell said it was his un-derstanding that paving was supposed to start Monday night (April 7) at the roundabout but this schedule is up to the con-tractor that won that bid through NCDOT.So, the paving is underway but slowed due to the rains last week.“The town has really no influ-ence on driving or directing this,” Meadwell said. “Hopefully, the paving will go a little bit more smoother than the milling did.”• In a business item, the coun-cil approved a resolution to ac-cept a directed projects grant of $2,216,250 from the 2023 Ap-propriations Act, Department of Environmental Quality, for the Division of Wastewater Infra-structure Project.Meadwell said N.C. Sen. Steve Jarvis was instrumental in getting this funding, mostly in Bermuda Run East, which is the only area that the town owns and maintains. Paving catches town by surprise Soaring like Eagles Boy Scouts help community while pursuing top honor soccer team, and Deep Roots gar-deners came together to replace 12 raised garden beds at the Deep Roots Mocksville Community Garden in downtown Mocksville. A crew of almost 30 volun- teers arrived on a beautiful spring morning - all to help support the delivery of a successful Eagle Project for a local Scout. Colin Gray, an eighth grader at North Davie Middle School and Life Scout of BSA Troop 575 in Mocksville, planned the effort for his Eagle project in partner-ship with Teresa Johnson and Kelly Alexander of Deep Roots. They determined Colin’s proj-ect would consist of replacing 12 garden beds and prepping the re-mainder of the 35 garden beds for the upcoming growing season. The work included removing the old beds, replacing them with new, sealed wood wrapped with weed cloth, filling most of the beds with a mixture of soil and compost as well as weeding in and around the gardens. Colin recruited other Scouts, players from his sister Hazel’s soccer team, and gardeners to help Please See Eagles - Page 4 Employees at REEB in Mocksville pack food being donat- ed to the Davie High Hunger Fighters.

The Hunger Fighters truck had been parked on the company’s property to help motivate employ-ees to give.Reeb’s parent company, Specialty Building Products, matched the employees’ effort, meaning twice as much food is going to Da-vie residents in need.“We have an awesome team here,” said David Calder, Reeb’s Mocksville branch manager. “We’re trying to help more in the community.

We welcome letters John 20, KJVThe first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other dis-ciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.Then cometh Simon Peter fol-lowing him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.Then went in also that other dis-ciple, which came first to the sepul-chre, and he saw, and believed.For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.And they say unto her, Wom-an, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have tak-en away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her. Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:Whosoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are re-tained.But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Ex-cept I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my fin-ger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thom-as with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have be-lieved.And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disci-ples, which are not written in this book:But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that be-lieving ye might have life through his name.

In my experience, treating someone with unconditional kind-ness and giving yourself a nice day are medicinal. Give those a try if you feel burned out. Optimism and rest are powerful tools.Andrew VernonMocksville Try a little kindness To the editor:If you think tariffs are a bad idea, maybe you could take your best home-grown recipe to your lo-cal grocery store and ask that your product be put on the shelf with no money going to the store.Delmar McDanielMocksville Tariffs not a bad idea In the Mail ... Consider the LiliesBy Julie Terry CartnerIt’s not surprising that the lily is the primary floral representation of Easter. The lily is mentioned thir-teen times in the Bible, with one of the better known verses com- ing from Matthew 6:28-29 when Jesus says, “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was not dressed like one of these,” reminding us that rather than wor-ry, we should put our trust in God to take care of us. But nowhere is the lily’s connection deeper to Eas-ter than in the beliefs that Christian legend supports. Lilies are believed to have sprouted from the ground where Christ’s blood and tears fell during his crucifixion as well as in the Garden of Gethsemane after his betrayal. Also, Catholic doctrine says that after Mary, Jesus’ mother died, when the people opened her tomb, the area was filled with lil-ies. Even further back, going to the beginning, the belief is that in the Garden of Eden, lilies grew from Eve’s tears when she and Adam were banished.Easter lilies, known as the white robed apostles of hope, symbolize Easter in several ways. First, Easter lilies start as bulbs that live under-ground for generally about three years before they sprout upwards out of the earth to create the beau-tiful white flowers that we love. Similarly, Christ lay in the tomb for three days before he rose from the dead and was resurrected on Easter Sunday.Secondly, the flower is pure white, symbolizing innocence and purity. Jesus was innocent of the charges against him, and as God’s son, there is no one more pure.The flower, like all lilies has six petals, but the difference is the shape. The Easter lily is shaped like a trumpet, a trumpet to announce Jesus’ resurrection, to emphasize the rebirth and renewal of the world from Jesus’ sacrifice which we see revealed every spring.Beyond Christian interpreta-tions of the Easter lily, the plant, like many others, contains healing properties. The lily can be used as an anti-inflammatory agent and a tonic to improve a person’s overall wellbeing. Historically the Easter lily was used to treat bronchitis and other respiratory ailments. Finally, like the dogwood, the Easter lily was used to stop bleeding after sur-gery, an extremely valuable natural healer during times of war, such as the Revolutionary and the Civil Wars, when traditional medicines were not always readily available, or for the many people who lived far from towns and had to rely on natural remedies. Jesus, the great healer, would approve.As we enter the final days of the Easter season, consider the lilies, which never sow nor spin. Consider the lilies which are arrayed in beau-ty beyond what the finest clothing manufacturers in the world can pro-duce. Consider the beautiful gift of both beauty and use, beauty to feed our souls and use to care for our bodies. We need to truly see beyond their opalescent purity and examine our lives. Are we behaving as the Creator would want? Consider the lilies…Rev. Jethro RumpleBy Linda H. BarnetteOne of the books I read while do-ing research on the history of First Methodist Church here in town was Rev. Jethro Rumple’s History of Rowan County, North Carolina, first published in 1881 and again in 1916 by the Elizabeth Maxwell Steele chapter of the DAR, the unit to which I belong. He writes about the early churches in Rowan and also about the famous people and families in that county, some of which had history here ss well.For some reason, yesterday I thought about Sharon Presbyterian Church in Charlotte where my first husband and I were members from 1965-1973. At that time it was a small church, and we had services in the old sanctuary with probably a couple hundred members. When I googled it, I found that it is now a huge church which also has a semi-nary. And in the introduction of Dr. Rumple’s book, I discovered that he had been the pastor of both Sha-ron and Providence Presbyterian churches from 1857- 1860.Dr. Rumple (referred to as both Dr.and Rev) was born in 1827 on a farm in Cabarrus County and studied both in private schools and with tutors. Eventually he went to Davidson College where he gradu-ated in 1850. From Davidson Rum-ple went to Columbia Seminary in South Carolina and was licensed to preach by the Concord Presbytery.After four years in Charlotte, he was called to be pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Salisbury ad was installed there in Novem-ber of 1860. There he stayed for 45 years. When he retired in 1805, the church had grown from a member-ship of 100 to 435 people.He worked hard to expand the reach of the Presbyterian denomi-nation. He was a pioneer in the mis-sion of the church. His work was instrumental in the organization of a church in Blowing Rock, at first a small building and the second one the beautiful stone building on the main street in Blowing Rock that is still active today and is named Rumple Memorial Presbyterian Church.When I was a student at Ca-tawba and a few times much later, I attended that church but knew nothing of its history. Dr. Rumple’s book is a treasure of history and contains a section on prominent Rowan families and an early his-tory of the major denominations in Rowan.It was also interesting to discov-er that he is buried at Chestnut Hill Cemetery in Salisbury, the same place where John’s Misenheimer grandparents rest.Lifelong LearningBy Felicia BrowellI’ve always loved to learn, but I didn’t always love school. I loved some classes, tolerated some, and actively loathed others. For the most part, I did my best to not draw attention to myself. But my mother likes to remind me about my grade school behavior.“Your first grade teacher sent a note home with you, telling me how disruptive you were during reading class.” Thinking (far) back, I remember getting one of the Dick and Jane readers, and finishing the chapter before my classmates got to the part where Dick threw the ball for Spot. Mom smiles and contin-ues, “I sent a note back telling the teacher you were bored, and to give you something to do.” During read-ing class after that, I went to the li-brary to pick whatever book I want-ed. Mom explained that my brother taught me to read before I started first grade. Kudos to him!Looking back on those years, I think I was searching for my pur-pose through learning. I suppose that my early love of reading fueled my various learning frenzies. If you tally all the things I’ve studied over the decades, you can see a mean-dering testimony to my interests in life as I accumulated hobbies (and related books) and explored my learning passions.For the most part, high school wasn’t the best of times, nor was it the worst. I finally could choose elective classes that actually inter-ested me - art, woodshop, psychol-ogy, among others. I remember loving science, tolerating math, silently grinding my teeth through history, and actively disliking En-glish. In fact, English and literature classes inspired a dread that twisted my stomach. Given that, it seems rather ironic that I ended up being a professional writer.In college in the 1980s, I fo-cused on writing and psychology. I remember several all-nighters using electric typewriters to finish term papers or story assignments. Before I graduated, the university opened personal computer labs, and my writing transformed. I still don’t develop stories in a straight line. Plot points spin in my head like index cards in a dust devil. I shuffled sentences and paragraphs for even this piece, until those cards fell into place and the topic flowed.But the classroom experience has changed! Pre-Y2K, you had to actually show up in a real class-room (no Zoom classes), settle your butt on an uncomfortable chair, and mostly remain awake through a lecture one to three days a week. You used a stylus (pencil or pen) in a notebook (paper version), on a graffiti-scarred desktop (no power cord needed). I still haven’t mas-tered Moodle, which is the online way homework and studies are as-signed, collected, and often graded today. The program I’m currently in uses both online and in-person classes.There are fifteen to twenty students in each of my in-person classes this term, and I’m the old-est. I value my time, learning, and purpose enough that I really want to understand each topic. I no lon-ger sit in the back and work to be unnoticed – I ask questions, offer answers, and share what I know.Given the range of ages and life experiences in college classes to-day, effective teaching seems pretty tough. I’ve noticed that a “good” class depends both on having a teacher who actually tries to teach, and on having students who actual-ly try to learn. As much as a “bad” instructor can drag a class down, so can a single student with a bad at-titude. Being positive is a choice. It disappoints me that some older stu-dents seem to be sour on life; their negativity can send uncomfortable ripples through the room. Like the classroom desks, people really ha-ven’t changed either, whatever gen-eration they claim.“Older” doesn’t necessarily equal more mature, skilled, or ca-pable. Several of my classmates who are fresh out of high school are more proficient at “adulting” than some of us older folks. Still, the older students are there, in class, learning something new. Lifelong learning has been linked to better emotional resilience, per-ceived wellbeing, and less cogni-tive decline. Learning anything – to crochet, play a harmonica, speak a second language, build model airplanes, do yoga – it all works to keep your mind younger, more aware, and more resilient. There are so many things I still want to learn that I’m confident I’ll live to be at least 120!Everyone should learn and prac-tice something new every year or two – pick something interesting and learn it.

He also received some donations from teachers at school and his family to help with the purchase of organic sealer, weed cloth and lunch for the volunteers while Deep Roots used proceeds from their 2024 annual plant sale to fund the wood and corner brackets for the project.Deep Roots Communi-ty Garden provides a place for people who don’t have a good spot for their own gar-den at home or for those who want to help the community by donating fresh, locally grown food. Gardeners help maintain the gardening area during the growing season and donate a portion of their produce to local food pan-tries and to seniors. Teresa likes to say, many elderly people in the com-munity have said that they would rather have a tomato sandwich instead of a meal for lunch and Deep Roots being able to provide that brings a smile to everyone’s face. Last year, gardeners vol-unteered more than 700 hours working in and around the garden, which yielded more than 1,300 pounds of produce of which they donat-ed almost 800 pounds.With the project com-plete, Troop 575 has joined the gardeners by purchasing a garden bed for the sum-mer to work on the Garden-ing Merit Badge.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 17, 2025 - 5 The Recipe Corner By Peggy Isenhour This month’s recipes are Coconut Pie and Veggie Dip. The coconut pie recipe is one that has been in my family for a long time. My Aunt Hazel from Effingham, S.C. gave me this recipe while we were eating breakfast one morning. The recipe is written on a paper napkin which I still have. She knew it by heart because she made it so often. The filling is naturally gluten free. Simply put it in a gluten free pie crust and you have a delicious easy pie. The veggie dip is easy and adds so much flavor to raw vegetables. If you are making it gluten free, I have included the brands that I use. Happy Easter Blessings.

Continued From Page 1Mayor Mike Brannon added the goal is for Ber-muda Run “to get out of the wastewater business and ul-timately turn that over to the county. This is a significant amount of money that al-lows us to take the next step in that process.”• Brannon provided a reminder on the upcoming opening of the Flags at the Blue Heron Trail project, which will be Tuesday, April 22 at 11:30 a.m. at the US 158 roundabout in front of WinMock, with the inau-gural flag-raising ceremony.“We expect to have a military presence along with that,” he said. Wayne Thomas with WinMock has volunteered to raise and lower the flags when nec-essary. The U.S., N.C, and Davie County flags will be on display, and there will be a large Bermuda Run me-dallion at the plaza.“This flag project is in Bermuda Run, but we think of it as a gateway to the county, and we’re very proud to have that,” said Brannon, who praised the Vision Committee and the work of all the volunteers who helped make it possi-ble.• Brannon talked about a different component of the Blue Heron Trail –the official opening of Phase II with a special ribbon-cut-ting ceremony on March 21 at the I-40 pedestrian bridge. When the I-40 wid-ening project was underway several years ago, the town partnered with the NCDOT to replace the pedestrian bridge that many years was used as part of the Bahnson family farm.The opening of the bridge allowed the town to not only connect to more walkable communities, Brannon said, but also to the Truist Sports Park playground and the broader recreational areas of NC Fusion (soccer parks) and RISE Indoor Sports.“It was quite a crowd,” he said of the ceremony, “and it was great to have all the people there. I also wanted to thank again Sal-ly McGuire and Ken Bing-ham from Hillsdale Group as well as Scott Wollaston from NC Fusion.

Robert Garrett, Pastor BR ... Arnold Gray O'NealGeraldine Hepler O'NealBorn to Lonnie and Lizzora O'Neal on March 26, 1937 in Cooleemee, Arnold Gray “Baldy” O’Neal, was preced-ed in death by brothers Ebb and Leon, sisters Catherine and Mary Frances, and survived by sister Berilene. He volunteered his service in the Army and later ran a small business for more than 60 years. Having built homes for work and personal use with his skills, it was building furniture that he enjoyed the most. Attending the Church of God from an early age, he learned to love the Lord and good music. It was there he came to know his trusted friend, partner in life and loving wife Geraldine. She was born March 20, 1944 to Roy and Margie He-pler. The siblings were J.D., Christine, Pauline, Ann, Cleo, Helen, and Moody. She loved her hometown of Coolee-mee. She graduated DCH Class of '62 and attended Uni-versity of Texas, Arlington. There was public work, but her devotion was to help her husband and family. They were married over 60 years and had three children, Arnold Jr. (Bobbi Jo), Amy O. Barbee (Joe), and Aaron. The three grandchildren, Taylor O'Neal (Jordan), Amanda Barbee, Bethany Barbee, and great grandchild Ellis O'Neal were certainly loved by both grandparents. She too, loved the Lord and good music. Where he was a wood worker, she was a wordsmith, writing beautiful poems. He went to his heavenly home on Dec.3, 2024 and she soon followed on March 30, 2025. Their earthly bodies were laid to rest in Cooleemee - the meaningful impact of their respective individuality and their union lives on-ward. partnership and generosi-ty helped make that Phase II opening of our pedestri-an bridge happen.

But even though things might look hopeless and gray, coach Joey Anderson is not about to give up on his boys. “We’ve got to stay positive and we have to keep plugging,” he said. East 15, Davie 3The first meeting in Kernersville on April 8 was competitive for a short time. Down 1-0, Davie responded with three runs in the third inning. With Brandon Forrest, Coy James and Drew Krause on base, Coston Col-amarino slapped a three-run double to put Davie in front. That was Davie’s only highlight, however. East stormed back ahead with a four-run bottom of the third and things bottomed out in the As expected, Davie’s lacrosse teams completely took visiting Glenn apart on April 8. The Davie girls rolled 18-1 as the Bobcats (0-9) remained winless. Olivia Howard and Kimber Holston had two goals each as Davie won for the fourth time in five games. Kayden Richardson, Yasmin Chambers, Madison Daugh-erty, Emily Hernandez, Mallory Peck, Amelia Brown, Lila Moore, Bethany Jacobs, Lyndsay Davis, Viola Hewitt, Gracie Shore, Emmie Burris, Ashlyn Seivers and Abbey Lankford had one goal each. Assists were handed out by Ja-cobs, Davis, Richardson, Chambers, Holston, Hewitt and Zoey Campbell as Davie improved to 6-5 overall and 3-3 in the CPC. Then the Davie boys utterly over-whelmed the Bobcats, 27-0. Scoring multiple goals were Ty LAX teams belt Glenn Please See LAX - Page B5 Davie baseball is in a tailspin fourth, when East piled up 10 runs on six hits, three walks, a hit batsman and an error. It added up to Davie’s worst setback since 13-0 at East in 2023, and it marked the most runs allowed since a 22-10 loss at High Point Christian in 2022. While James’ hitting streak was stopped at 17 games dating to 2024, Colamarino (1 for 2) boosted his average to .333 (6-18). Also getting one hit were Logan Allen, Hunter Potts, Krause and Forrest. East (15-3 overall) doubled Da-vie in hits and maintained a share of first place in the CPC. It also ended a five-game losing streak to Davie. East 11, Davie 6The War Eagles spiraled further the next day at home. A five-game losing streak is the longest tailspin in three years. The game was all but decided in the top of the third. It was scoreless Please See Tailspin - Page B4 By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Enjoy this. Smell the roses. Don’t take this Davie girls soccer season for granted. The War Eagles rallied for a 1-1 tie at Reynolds on April 9. The tie and a shutout win over Glenn kept them in third place and in contention for second. How significant would a second- or third-place finish in the CPC be for the War Eagles? They haven’t finished better than fifth since 2005, when they tied for third. What’s more, they have already achieved the most wins (nine) in 17 years. Davie and Reynolds went at it for 100 minutes as overtime failed to deliver a winner. “It was what I expected when we walked into the game,” coach Corbin Kopetzky said. “They are a very competitive team. They’re young, but they’ve got some good talent and they’ve got a really good bench, so they’re able to put people in.”It was scoreless at halftime and the Demons (5-3-3 overall) seized a 1-0 lead early in the second half. “We left a girl wide open in the middle,” Kopetzky said. “They played her a good ball. Our step was late and she was able to put it in the back of the net.”And then: “That what might have been our only mishap of the whole game. I think this is one of the best games we’ve played all season. Ev-erybody showed up to play. We’re finally at the point: It’s not ‘if we don’t work hard, Davie is going to scare us. Now it’s ‘we’ve got to work hard or Davie is beating us.’ It’s nice to be at that point.”The War Eagles could finally exhale when top-scorer Lanna Robinson found the back of the net midway through the second half. “Lanna did what she does,” he said. “She put it lower 90 on the left side.”That was it as far as scoring. When the dust settled, Davie and Reynolds remained in third and fourth place, respectively. “I think we controlled a little more of the game,” Kopetzky said. “We had a few shots that just didn’t fall for us, but overall, if I was sit-ting in the crowd, that would have been the best game to have watched this year.“We’re not a team that’s going to be outworked. We walked away without a loss and that was a good feeling.”Senior defender Monica Ramirez played a huge part in the tie. “She played on their best play-er,” he said. “If you’re going to play well, you’ve got to take the best player out of the game and she locked her down. I know how she can show up, but in that moment the level of soccer she produced the whole game and how tired she was when she walked off the field was a testament to how hard she showed up for 100 minutes. (She sat out) maybe two minutes. She said: ‘Coach, I just need to come off and get a sip of water and I’m going right back in.’ We didn’t sub a lot. We had a lineup that was working. Most of them played 100 minutes.”Davie 4, Glenn 0One night later, Davie was hardly perfect but didn’t have any trouble blanking hapless Glenn on the road. All the scoring was done in the first half. Robinson had half the goals, while Kate Chaffin and Lydia Postell had one each. “We didn’t play a great game,” Kopetzky said. “We played 100 minutes the night before and it was pouring down rain. The field con-ditions weren’t great. In the second half, we didn’t leave our offensive half very much, but we took too many shots and didn’t put enough of them in the back of the net.”There’s beautiful chaos in the CPC standings. While West Forsyth is standing in first at 6-0, there’s little separating East Forsyth (4-1), Davie (5-2-1) and Reynolds (3-1-2). Notes: Davie (9-2-2 overall) has the most wins since going 12-8-1 in 2008. It has the most CPC wins in Soccer stays in contention for second Please See Soccer - Page B5 Senior catcher Drew Krause prepares to throw to first after a strike three in the dirt.

(Matthew 27:22-23) DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 17, 2025 ‑ B3 Tom Cowden Youth Shooting Sports, which sup-ports and sponsors the Davie County 4-H Shooting Sports Club, received a $14,415 grant this year from The Friends of NRA.The grant, which must be used for shooting sports, included two new shotguns and a rifle, money for clay targets, ammunition includ-ing 20- and 12-gauge shot-gun shells along with .22 LR ammunition. TCYSS or Tom Cowden Youth Shooting Sports is a non-profit that depends on grants, donations and fund-raising. “We have no paid employ-ees,” said Nelson Cowden. “We came into existence in 2012 and have been growing since day one.”TCYSS emphasis is to host and support the Davie County 4-H Shooting Sports Club as well as 4-H summer Programs and with the recre-ation and parks department. The site hosts the NC 4-H Hunting Skills Team that will compete in Nebraska in June along with other NC 4-H shooting sports teams including shotgun and small-bore pistol. Shooting clinics/camps for youth organiza-tions including Scouts and church groups are offered. “We could not thrive and survive without the assis-tance,” Cowden said. “The Friends of NRA have been extremely good to us almost back to our beginnings in 2012. We have been blessed with grants from The Friends of NRA for 12 consecutive years, and we really appreci-ate their generosity.” Davie American Little League Player Spotlights Coach-pitch player Ollie Kimmer’s work is paying off. His confidence improved. He hit 2 doubles and scored 2 in his first game. Coach pitch players Samuel Cheeks and Ethan Webb played awesome in the field and both had hits at the plate. Colt Jones of the coach-pitch divi- sion had two crucial at-bats, hitting a couple of frozen ropes from both sides of the plate as a switch hitter. Lincoln Beck of the minors made a game-saving catch from behind home plate, and Clinton Carter hit a triple in the last inning, pushing in three runs and securing the win. Easton Melton of the ma- chine-pitch division had a fantastic game with mul- tiple hits, including an in- side-the-park homer. He has a fantastic attitude and great sportsmanship. Harrison Stamper of the machine-pitch division hit the first home run of the season. He is a power hitter with a big heart for the game and a great team player. Brett Woodall of the minors played a great game for the Astros, locking down left center against the Yankees. At the plate, he showed the heart of a champion after he fouled a pitch off his finger in his second at-bat and didn’t shed a tear. He walked and stole two bases, then scored the eventual winning run for his team. Olivia Woodall of the T-ball division has been excited to play baseball since the first practice, and she continues to improve.

The War Eagles did not go down meekly. They outscored East 7-4 from the bottom of the third on, including three runs in the seventh. “We saw flashes of good things,” Anderson said. “In the last inning, I saw that pass-it-on-to-the-next-guy mentality.”East only had one more hit than Davie. James (2-3, two doubles, three runs, two steals), Hunter Potts (2-3), Ty Sain (2-4) and Hayden Potts (2-4, triple) stroked two hits each.

His Davie tennis team has gone from 2-5 to 8-6, including a 9-0 home noncon-ference win over Mooresville on April 8. “We’ve had two non con-ference matches in a row, both against teams that will be conference foes next year,” Nixon said. “Our scheduling goal was to get a look at them now and play good teams. Mooresville is a solid team. I’m not trying to imply they are world-beaters, but earlier this year we’d have had issues against them - my point being this was more about how By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s JV baseball team made all three of the game’s errors against visiting East Forsyth on April 9, but it didn’t matter because Ian Patton and Levi Block were fantastic on the mound in a 3-1 victory. Offensively, Carter Cor-nett and Easton Sanders stood tall as Davie improved to 10-6. Patton, a sophomore, gave up one unearned run and two hits in five innings. He walked one and struck out five. “He’s been throwing really well,” varsity coach Joey An-derson said. “He throws a lot of strikes, he makes them put balls in play, keeps his pitch count down and he mixes it up. That’s why he’s able to go quite a few innings.”Credit should also go to reliever Block, a freshman who struck out four in two scoreless innings. “He’s not a hard thrower, but he mixes his curveball with a little slider, and he Davie’s pitchers gave up 12 hits and 11 walks. “We’re either pitching it well and not swinging it that well, or we’ll have one bad inning,” Anderson said. “It’s confusing because this is a very good team; I’ve said that since the beginning of the year. It’s a good group of guys. We’re just not putting it together as a team.” Notes: East extended its winning streak to 11 and remained in a first-place tie with West Forsyth at 10-0. Reagan (7-2) is third in the CPC, followed by Davie (4- 6) and Glenn (3-6). ... Davie fell to 6-12 overall. ... James posted his 12th multi-hit game of the year and lifted his average to .615 (32-52). ... Krause has been reliable all season at .348 (15-43). ... Sain capitalized on his first start, the sophomore first baseman singling twice, knocking in a run and raising his average to .416 in 12 at-bats.

Davie got on the board in the first inning. Singles by Cornett, Sanders and Noah Potts loaded the bases for Taylor Shenberger, who pro-vided a 1-0 lead with the fourth hit of the inning. Davie used the same for-mula to double the lead in the second. After Tay Settecasi, Cornett and Blake French put together hits to load the bases, Sanders plated one with a hit. In the fifth, Sanders walked and scored on a Pres-ton Young double that capped the scoring. Cornett, a freshman bat-ting second in the order, went 2 for 4. Sanders, a freshman batting cleanup, went 2 for 2 with a walk. “Carter’s done really well,” Anderson said. “We had to change a couple things with his swing to try to add a little bit more power. He throws right and hits left, and it’s nice to have that left-handed bat in there. He can drive the ball and he uses both sides of the field. Yeah, he’s swinging it really well right now.“Easton’s a typical three-hole guy. Sometimes he swings a little bit too hard for my liking, but he’s learning not to try to take everything deep. He has swung the bat really well with runners in scoring position. He steps up a notch and gets the big knock with people in scoring position.” Davie gave East a chance to change the game in the sev-enth. Two errors and a walk filled the bags with two outs. But Block induced a popout to catcher Landon Welch to end the game. Notes: Davie outhit East 10-3, including a single from Tanner Steinour. “We’ve been swinging the bats with run-ners in scoring position, and we run the bases pretty well,” Anderson said. ... This was Davie’s second win over East; the other 11-2 on March 21. Tennis team on winning streak much better we have gotten. It is more about us getting better and less about Mooresville’s level of play.”Everything clicked as Da-vie got singles wins from Grayson Busse, Zach Hill, Barrett Taylor, Luke Cranfill, Brady Carter and Riley Mal-lory and doubles victories from Hill/Taylor, Busse/Chris Samet and Carter/Cranfill. “From top to bottom, from No. 1 through all of my exhi-bition guys, we played really well,” he said. “I’m super proud of those guys at the bottom of the lineup - Owen Tomlinson, Jonah Almond, Avery VanLente and Luke Whitton. These guys don’t get a ton of real match play, but they keep going out and winning matches. I’m very pleased with them. And everyone else played really well.”Davie 9, Parkland 0One day later, it was more of the same as the War Eagles pummeled the Mustangs. All the singles scores were 6-0, 6-0. All the doubles scores - the pairings were Carter/Mallory, Samet/Almond and VanLente/Whitton - were 8-0. “Anything I say about Parkland always begins and ends with Davie County’s own, Dana Johnson,” Nixon said. “Parkland’s coach does a magnificent job with those kids.”The War Eagles (8-6 over-all, 6-5 CPC) recorded their fourth shutout and pushed their winning streak to four. “Four wins in a row and six out of seven is making my ‘we keep getting better’ man-tra look good,” Nixon said. Notes: Here are singles records for the season: Busse 7-7 at Nos. 1-2, Hill 5-9 at Nos. 1-2, Taylor 7-7 at No. 3, Cranfill 14-0 at No. 4, Carter 11-1 at Nos. 5-6 and Mallory 11-2 at Nos. 5-6. ...

Davie lost 6-4 in 11 in-nings to visiting East Forsyth. Reagan added insult to injury by whipping Davie 10-1. It was a script-flipping stretch for the War Eagles, who beat both in the first meetings, winning 9-1 over East on March 7 and 7-3 over Reagan on March 18. The grim week saw the War Eagles go from alone in second place in the CPC to third. East 6, Davie 4 (11 innings)The excruciatingly close loss on April 8 overshadowed Jadyn Davis’ three-run home Senior Profile Wildcats to two runs on two hits over five innings. For North, Paxton Broa-dus and Easton Stanley each had two hits and two RBIs. On the winning side, Ben Bost and Mason Canter had two hits apiece, and Canter led the Jaguars with four RBIs. Bost stole two bases. Canter knocks in 4 as Ellis beats North • Sports Briefs • run in the fourth inning. With Hanna Steinour and Brenna Altiers on base, Davis left the yard to give Davie a 4-3 lead. It was her third homer as two hits left her average at .534 - both team highs. Davie had to rally because it dug a 3-0 hole in the top of the first inning. “We shouldn’t have been in that situation to begin with,” coach Nathan Handy said. “We had opportunities in the first inning to not let them score three. And that really hurt. But we’re learning and we’re working our way through it.”Davie cut into the deficit in the bottom of the first when Carleigh Croom tripled and scored on a passed ball. The outcome was such a bummer because Davie was two outs from staying a game behind (in the loss column) frontrun-ner West Forsyth. East got a leadoff double in the seventh. One out later, a single tied the score at 4. “It was definitely a game we should have and could have won,” Handy said. “We had too many mistakes and too many missed signs. It was a shot-ourselves-in-the-foot kind of game.”In the eighth, East had two singles and reached on an error but failed to score. In the ninth, Davie committed its fifth error and gave up a dou-ble, but got out of the inning unscathed. “When it was clutch, our defense came through,” Handy said. “We threw one out at third. We threw two out at home. One of the runners ran right through a stop sign.”Davie had a chance to win it in the 10th. With two outs, Landry Parsons reached on one of East’s three errors. She advanced into scoring posi-tion when Steinour singled. The next batter, though, flew out to center. Davie would get outhit 14-8 as it failed to score in the last seven innings. “Eight hits over the course of 11 innings is not enough,” Handy said. “We were mak-ing great contact. We just kept hitting it right at people. Their center fielder had 8-10 outs. Their outfield played deep and we had five or six balls caught at the fence. Just a few more Wheaties in our cereal and we’re hitting home runs.”Despite wasting prime opportunities in the eighth and ninth, East simply refused to die. The visitors put up two runs in the 11th on a single and two doubles. Davie’s Raegan Davis singled with one out in the home half of the 11th, but it couldn’t do anything else. In the circle, Davie’s Riley Potts entered the game with no outs in the first after the first four East batters reached and hurled 11 innings. Al-though she gave up 12 hits, she walked three and struck out 14 in a 175-pitch effort. Sophomore Allie Cox went all 11 for East, throwing 181 pitches in a marathon game that saw 376 pitches and 97 batters. J. Davis (2-6) and Steinour (2-3) led Davie with two hits each. This one was difficult to stomach as East ended a four-game losing streak to the War Eagles. “We’ve got to find a way to score more than four runs,” Handy said. “One swing scored three. It’s like some-body’s put a lid on the basket and we can’t seem to get it off. It’s disheartening for every-body, but no one wants to hit the ball more than the one in the box. They’ve got to keep pecking away. They’ve got to keep their confidence up and it will get there. It will come. I know they’re starting to get frustrated. But the biggest thing is for them to know they have the ability and it will eventually happen for them.”Reagan 10, Davie 1One night later, things were much more grim. Rea-gan sophomore pitcher Cay-cee Wilson made life as mis-erable as possible for Davie’s offense, and that wasn’t the only issue for the visiting War Eagles. Besides getting held to three hits, they watched the Raiders pile up 14 and they committed four errors. Wilson had a perfect game until Raelyn Lankford reached on an error with two outs in the fourth, and she had a no-hitter until Altiers sin-gled with one out in the fifth. As if Wilson’s 12 Ks with no walks weren’t enough, she slammed a two-run homer to open the scoring in the first. J. Davis, Lankford and Altiers all went 1 for 3. Notes: Reagan improved to 15-3. ... The top four in the CPC: West Forsyth 10-0, Reagan 8-2, Davie 6-3, East Forsyth 5-4. ... Davie fell to 11-5 overall. ... Davie’s three-game losing streak is the longest in five years.
