Around 200 guests—including community members, local offi-cials, and potential employees—gathered to explore the new facility, meet SBA’s leadership team, enjoy traditional Lithuanian cuisine, and learn more about the company’s vision.Jurgita Radzevice, SBA Home’s CEO in Lithuania, welcomed Jurgita Radzevice, SBA Home’s CEO in Lithuania, wel- comes guests to the company’s first U.S. site. - Photo courtesy SBA Home ‘Labas’ Lithuanian company opens its doors at Mocksville site Please See SBA - Page 5 The Davie County Board of Education has hired Dr. Heath Belcher as the next superinten-dent of Davie County Schools (DCS), beginning July 1.After a review process that included applications from 28 candidates from nine states, the board chose Belcher based on his experience, leadership, and dedi-cation to students and staff."The board is confident that Dr. Belcher is the right leader to continue to guide our district forward,” said W.G. ‘Dub’ Potts, DCS board chair. “We are excited about the exper-tise and energy he brings to this role and look forward to a strong partnership focused on student achievement, staff support and community engagement.”Belcher has a scareer in pub-lic education spanning more than 20 years in North Carolina.

The time with Tiffany, Jaden, and Mia was good for me, and Mia, who would blow me kisses, I miss them already. It is good to be back home now - where we took a family trip to Belhaven, Bath, and Washing-ton, old towns with many histori-cal buildings and beautiful water views.Today, I am content on my couch with coffee, Facebook, my birdfeeder, and blue skies and water. The quiet is nice, and both a male cardinal and woodpeck-er were on the feeder at the same time. The new birdfeeder has de-feated the squirrel for now. Initially, he was able to lift the roof off, but it included a lock feature that pre-vented that, so he is trying to devise a new plan.I know I need more exercise, but sitting on a comfortable couch with my legs elevated, a heating pad on my back, a beautiful view, and a good cup of coffee is a treat. Tiffany made me a great cup of coffee while I was visiting her, so I ordered a new coffee machine and pods, thinking it would be as simple as my Keurig. After she had ordered it for me, she explained she needed to put an app on my phone with instructions on how to set it up and operate it. Thankfully, Cami programmed it for me, and I en-joyed my first cup of coffee today. I hope I will be able to do this on my own.The memories on Facebook were bittersweet today as the old posts had comments from my sister and brother, who are deceased, and sweet friends who are deceased or incapacitated. Frequent comments and pictures of my granddaughter, Alex, are among them. She died from a drug overdose about eight years ago after returning from a six-month rehab. Drugs from across the border are claiming a larger number of lives every day, and I fear the US will become like Mexico in that re-spect.I hope that we can keep our youth healthy and strong enough to combat this problem. It is easy to see how children who have no strong family ties or community af-filiations are drawn to this culture to gain acceptance, but many who appear to have every advantage are also caught up in this, and once bit-ten, it is a daily battle to stay clean. Eliminating the source would be the best plan, but this is a com-plicated process, and many in the US profit from it. It is imported by people here, distributed by people here, and youngsters are recruited to become customers, sometimes by youth leaders, teachers, and of-ten by giving the first doses for free, sadly. It is a culture where the only requirement to be accepted is that you participate, much like a cult.The more support systems a child has, the better their chances of overcoming obstacles.

Here They Come!By Marie CraigIf I go outside and listen very carefully, I can hear tiny vibra-tions coming from the southwest. Almost imperceptible, but gaining in volume. The hummingbird’s 60 tiny wing beats per second produce a buzzing sound that is the fastest of any bird. The scouts will arrive about April 15. I think they want to add some beauty and comfort on Tax Day. I know when I see my first one that I am so excited. They were with me last summer and all the summers before that, leaving on Oct. 15 for Central America, 2000 miles away, and not saying any thanks for the sugar water or good-bye or see you in mid-April. They can fly 30-40 mph. I’ve heard of ADHD and rude-ness, and they are good examples. But the joy they give me in the warm weather is so special. Our type is ruby throated hum-mingbirds which the males have. There are 13 other species in the United States.They are the only birds that can fly backward and can feed while hovering. Their personalities are high energy. If a 170-pound man led the equivalent of a humming-bird’s life, he would burn up 55,000 calories a day. They feed every 10 to 15 minutes from dawn to sunset, often consuming more than half their weight in food and eight times their weight in water per day. Some gardeners plant special flowers, such as bee balm, butterfly weed, cardinal flower, columbine, fuchsia, nasturtiums, and petunias for them.The nobles of Montezuma’s Az-tec court had cloaks of humming-bird skins, and the Indians who 1`/2greeted the New England pil-grims sometimes wore a humming-bird as an earring.I need to get my feeders ready. I’ll use my half quart glass measur-ing cup and put 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sugar and then add water to the one cup level. Then I’ll microwave this for one minute. Stirring until clear is next and then add 1 cup cold wa-ter. Red food dye is not necessary and possibly harmful to the birds.The diving and swooping shows that they give are about to start. Don’t miss out. By Mike WaldenNCSU After earlier jobs in the private sector (furniture) and the govern-ment sector (local and federal), I found my ultimate career in teach-ing. As I look back, I had a fabu-lous 43-year career at N.C. State University teaching economics to students and to the public through the University’s Extension – also called outreach – programs. One of the aspects of economics I stressed was the implications the subject has for everyday decisions. Most people think of economics as a discipline applying only to busi-ness or financial decisions such as investing and borrowing. As a re-sult, if an individual is not interest-ed in business or finance, their reac-tion to economics is summarized in one word. Boring.In my teaching career, I sought to overcome this interpretation of economics. While I certainly taught how economics can help businesses be successful and guide individuals in financial issues, I also empha-sized how broad economics is a s a useful tool for life decisions.Believe it or not, economics can be helpful in answering the ques-tion posed by this column: Can we have it all? The major reason economics exists as an educational field is the realization there are numerous uses for resources. Indeed, the word economics is derived from the Greek word oikonomia, referring to decisions made by managers of farms and estates over how to best use resources to achieve the best outcome. For example, managers had to decide how to use manual and other resources, including land, in growing crops to achieve the highest financial returns. Econom-ics (oikonomia) reminded the man-agers that if they used 20 workers and 50 acres to grow wheat, they couldn’t use that same 50 acres and the time of those 20 workers to grow corn. Therefore, econom-ics motivated the farm managers to always consider the resource costs and sales benefits of raising either wheat or corn and choose the one that produced the largest net gain of returns over costs.I used this classic example of the importance of economics to the thousands of classes I taught, and I would often see the faces of disinterest among many students. Hence, I was quick to follow-up with more personal examples.My favorite example used home-buying, something that col-lege students in their late teens or early 20s had likely thought about after living in cramped dorms or apartments. Most homebuyers want at least two characteristics in a home: adequate space and prox-imity to work, shopping and enter-tainment. But even a casual look at any home-buying market shows that having both square footage and proximity will cost the homebuyer much more. This is because most homebuyers want these two char-acteristics, so there will be many bids for larger homes in convenient neighborhoods. And where there are more bids, the price goes up. Hence, “having it all” in the real estate market means paying more.Does this mean richer homebuy-ers who can afford the “having it all” home don’t face the economic problem of the Greek farm manager of carefully considering how to use resources? No, they still do. Let's say the have it all house would cost the buyer $50,000 more. There are ways that $50,000 could be used, such as for a college fund for chil-dren, for a vehicle, in a retirement investment, or as a contribution to a charitable cause. There are always alternative ways resources can be used, even for rich people.Don’t forget that time is also an important human resource. Actual-ly, time may be a more significant resource than money because time is limited, whereas money can be earned and expanded. Students con-stantly face decisions about time use. Does a student use two hours to study, go to the big game,”work an extra shift or catch up on sleep? The student can’t do them all.Perhaps one of the most diffi-cult time management issues to-day is that of a parent — often the mother — deciding whether to use time to work and earn money or for child-rearing, especially when the child is very young. Economists have a term for the reality that using a resource creates both benefits and costs: opportunity cost. It simply means while using a resource in one way provides bene-fits, it also has costs or lost benefits from using the resource in another way. Investors, in particular, under-stand opportunity cost. Say you have the option of investing in stock A or stock B for a year. You pick stock A and earn the returns from owning stock A for a year. The op-portunity cost is that you don’t earn the returns from owning stock B for a year. If stock A earns more than stock B, then your opportunity cost is less than the earnings from stock A, and you’re happy. But if stock B earns more than stock A, then you lose because the opportunity cost of not owning stock B is greater than the benefit from owning stock A. One way of dealing with opportuni-ty costs in investing is diversifying, which in the example simply means splitting the investment between stock A and stock B. What is the best way of dealing with the reality of opportunity cost and not having it all? Economics suggests the answer is study, analy-sis, and comparison of benefits and costs of alternative resource uses. Should we thank the ancient Greeks for these insights?

His wife, Joan-na, is a teacher; he has two children, Nate and Grace. Nate is a sophomore at the University of Arizona and Grace is a senior in high school. During his free time, he enjoys camping, hiking, running, and snow skiing.“I would like to express my gratitude to the board for the trust they have placed in my family and me to be part of the Davie County Schools community,” said Belcher. “I am grateful to have the opportunity to serve the stu-dents and their families, and I am excited to contribute to this great community. I look forward to empowering our communities by upholding their values and traditions, equipping our students for a vibrant future, and engaging our community partners by fostering meaningful rela-tionships. “I am truly impressed by the strong record of success achieved through the col-lective efforts of teachers, staff, administrators, and the board.

Respect - not fear - that those kids had for you (Wallace) just blew me away. You want to see what a true leader is made of, look to Jeff Wallace. What I saw was true leadership.”Former board member Lori Smith remembers see-ing a young student come up to Wallace and ask him what he did. “I work for you,” Wallace replied. The kids’ face lit up. “He’s a servant leader,” Smith said. “You have had a great im-pact in a positive way,” said William R. Davie Elementa-ry Principal Karen Stephens. “You’ve always been invest-ed in the students, the staff, the community. You genu-inely care about us.”Davie High teacher Don-na Dunn said Wallace was her fourth principal in four years. “He coined the phrase ‘It’s a great day to be a War Eagle’.” Wallace, she said, made a point to find students who were struggling, learn their names and greet them every day. “He was building a culture at that high school.”Jeff Jones, current school board member and former resource officer at Davie High, said he heard Wallace say “It’s a great day to be a War Eagle” so often that he heard it in his sleep. South Davie student Jack-son O’Brien shares a passion with Wallace - fishing. Out of nowhere, Wallace showed up one day with a fishing rod that Jackson had coveted.After the accolades at the meeting, Wallace shared some thoughts - including appreciation to his family members. He met his then wife-to-be Kelly at a Legion baseball game in Rich Park, when she playfully held back a hotdog he had purchased. Three years later, they were married, and raised two chil-dren.Wallace grew up in pov-erty, and alcoholism was prevalent in his family. He and his brother were mostly raised by their grandparents - and influenced by public educators and coaches.“Public education saved my life,” he said.Wallace started work-ing for UPS, until a mentor urged him to go to college. He did, and began teaching in 1993.“I’ve never looked back,” Wallace said. “Public edu-cation serves absolutely ev-erybody who walks through those doors.”He became Davie High principal in 2008, and later served as associate superin-tendent.“We often see what we’re looking for,” he said. “If I look at 6,000 children, I see 6,000 opportunities. And God created children, that makes a big difference. I would tell a child, ‘I don’t like what you’re doing ... but I love you’.“Education and my faith completely changed the tra-jectory of my entire family.“Don’t every forget, we serve children. If I didn’t care about this job it would be difficult to do. There are plenty of student walking our hallways who are in sim-ilar situations as I was as a young man. You’ve got to care about them all.”He had some advice for families.“You will get out of school what you want to get out of school. You want bad, you’ll find bad. You want good, you’ll find good, and that’s true if life as well.” Jeff Wallace speaks at a schools function; and keeps a smile on his face while greeting young students. - Photos courtesy Davie County Schools Jeff Wallace poses with his family members.

Davie hasn’t been just winning ... it’s been crushing people. “I knew we would win and I knew we were good, but we are putting whuppings on teams that we have never beaten before and we’re blowing them out,” he said after Davie set program records for wins and longest winning streak. By Brian PittsEnterprise Record When the Davie girls lacrosse team finds itself in toss-up games, it can count on Kayden Richardson to make the difference. The sophomore delivered six goals to lift the War Eagles to a 9-8 home win over East Forsyth on April 15. That gave Davie’s top scorer 42 goals in 12 games. Davie’s JV baseball team has won three of its last four to improve its record to 12-7. The War Eagles traveled to Boone on April 12 and came away with a 12-7 win over Watauga. They dug out of a 4-1 hole before eventu-ally winning comfortably. The game turned in the fifth, when Davie put up four runs to take a 7-4 lead. Landon Welch, Carter Cornett and Taylor Shenberger had hits during the rally. Davie knocked out the Pioneers in the sixth. Cayden Thalasinos, Welch, Noah Potts and Tanner Steinour put together hits as Davie poured across five runs. Welch (2 for 5, two steals from the leadoff spot) and Potts led Da-vie’s 10-hit attack. Deuces were wild for Potts, who went 2 for 2 with two runs, two RBIs and two walks. “There are times when Landon swings the bat very well,” varsity coach Joey Anderson said. Davie also got one hit from Easton Sanders and Tay Settecasi. It used four pitchers, including one scoreless inning each from Levi Block and Potts. Forbush 7, Davie 3Davie trailed 6-0 before getting on the board in a road loss on April 15. A 15-2 wipeout over visiting East Forsyth on April 15 was the history-making moment. The 12th win in 13 tries marked the most in the program’s 12-year history, surpassing last year’s 11-10 mark. The eight-game winning streak was another Davie record. The tip of the spear in terms of points is junior attacker Jack Pis-ciotta, who leads in goals (67) and assists (59). He was recently named player of the week in the South Region. USA Lacrosse recognizes the most outstanding individual performanes in each region with USA Lacrosse Players of the Week. “That’s from Virginia to Florida,” Neisler said. “He’s committed to VMI, but he’s got a lot of schools looking at him. He has verbally committed, but he’s getting a lot more notoriety this year. He’s got an inner drive. Even if an opponent is bigger and faster than him, he just comes through.”Although Pisciotta is far and away with leader with 126 points, senior Ty Carter has been absolutely immense with the second-most goals (50) to go along with 19 assists. “Jack is going to score and take control, and Ty Carter has been un-stoppable,” Neisler said. “There’s not a defensive player in the confer-ence who can stop Ty. They have to double- and triple-team two players - Jack and Ty - and when you have to do that, it opens up room for all the other players.” Davie’s huge success hasn’t been all about Pisciotta and T. Carter, of course. The run to second place in By Brian PittsDavie Enterprise Record Before heading to Boone, Da-vie’s varsity baseball team was mired in the longest losing streak (five) in three years. The War Eagles eased that an-guish by burying Watauga 8-2. A resurgence saw them post three more wins over South Iredell and Reynolds (twice). Davie 8, Watauga 2In a road nonconference game on April 12, the War Eagles took the lead for good in the top of the third and pulled away in the fifth. Watauga defeated Davie 8-4 in late March, but this one was another story. “We played really well,” coach Joey Anderson said. “We went up there and played loose. You saw everybody relax a little bit (in the third). We were waiting for some-thing bad to happen; you could almost feel it. But we made plays, Colin (Harrison) made pitches and we started putting it together. And it worked out well.”Coston Colamarino’s RBI double was the only hit in a two-run third that gave Davie a 3-1 lead. The double followed an intentional walk to Coy James and Watauga’s second error of the inning. Davie poured it on in the fifth. James tripled and scored on a wild pitch. Drew Krause doubled, Hunter Potts singled and then came a walk. After fouling off a pair of two-strike offerings, Blake French delivered a two-run single to center. The fifth hit of the frame came from Carson Queen. French is a sophomore who start-ed in left field and made an impact in his varsity debut. He replaced Logan Allen, who was sidelined with a shoulder injury. “You could tell his first at-bat that the speed of the game was a little bit different for him,” Anderson said. “But Blake played really well. He made a couple plays in the outfield and he got a big base knock that scored two on a pretty good pitch when he had two strikes on him. He was excited to get his first varsity hit.”Harrison supplied five solid innings on the mound, leaving with two runs allowed. After Tucker Hobbs worked a scoreless inning, Colamarino made his varsity mound debut. He responded with a clean seventh inning. “Colin threw real well,” Ander-son said. “His problem is he likes to strike people out and sometimes his pitch count goes up really quick. He did a real good job of seeking contact and letting our defense play. And that’s why he was able to go later in the game than what he normally does.“We had not been able to see Coston pitch with his arm injury (from early in the season).”The offensive star was - yup, you guessed it - James. The leadoff man went 3 for 4 with four runs, two doubles, a triple, a walk and a stolen base. Davie got one hit from Krause, Hunter Potts, Colamarino, Hayden Potts, French and Queen. Davie 13, S. Iredell 4One day after dispatching Reyn-olds, the War Eagles continued righting the ship with a road non-conference win over South Iredell. Davie blazed through an oppo-nent that is no slouch; the Vikings came in 14-5. “That was a huge win,” Anderson said. “We swung the bats as a whole. I did a bunt-and-run, then I did a hit-and-run, then I did a bunt-and-run and then I did a hit-and-run. I think I ended up doing it five times and they couldn’t make the plays. Next thing you know it was 8-2 and we kept swinging it.”The game-defining inning was Davie’s six-run fourth. After Ty Sain opened with a walk, Hayden Potts, Brandon Forrest and James followed with hits. After South made a couple errors, Colamarino singled. A few Boys lacrosse crushing foes Please See Foes - Page B4 Richardson comes through for girls LAX “We thought after her first three goals that they were going to try to shut her down,” coach Haley Hines said. “Surprisingly, they did not. We figured they were going to face-guard her. She’s just really good at finding those open lanes and driving to the goal. She has an amazing game.”The War Eagles have played six entertaining games that were decided by two goals or less. They have ended up on the euphoric side five times, including a 10-9 squeaker over East in March. At halftime, Davie was behind by one before surging to a 9-7 lead. “It was so similar to the first game,” Hines said. “It was a back-and-forth game pretty much the whole time. We took over the whole second half. At halftime I said: ‘Look, we need to lock in and we’re going to take control of this half.’ And that’s pretty much what we did.”Lyndsay Davis contributed two goals as fourth-place Davie stayed ahead of fifth-place East in the CPC standings. Yasmin Chambers had one goal. Emmie Burris had two assists and Bethany Jacobs one. Jacobs led with five groundballs and Davis racked up nine draw controls. Please See LAX - Page B4 JV baseball team improves to 12-7 Steinour (3-4) and Blake French (2-3) accounted for five of Davie’s eight hits. Cornett, Austin Samuels and Thalasinos added one apiece, but it wasn’t enough on a day when Davie committed five errors. The Falcons weren’t much better de-fensively with four errors, but they were able to score in four of their five at-bats. Davie 7, Forbush 6The War Eagles settled the score a day later at home, taking the lead for keeps in the sixth to pull out a seesaw rematch with the Falcons. In the bottom of the sixth, the first two batters were retired with Davie behind 6-4. But it found a way to score three runs on two hits, two walks and an error. The rally was triggered by Steinour’s fullcount walk. Cornett and French followed with hits. Cornett stole third and scored the tying run on an error. After Sanders drew a walk, French scored on a passed ball to give Davie the 7-6 lead. Forbush threatened in the top of the seventh even though reliever Ty Greene got the first two batters. A two-strike single and a hit batsman put two runners on. But Greene got a swinging strike three to close the book.

He’s one of the best teammates you could ask for. Megan Howell (minors softball) is dedicated - always one of the first to show up to practice, one of the last to leave and always gives 100 percent. Megan got an inside-the-park home run her first at-bat. She also got a strikeout her first time pitching. Jaxson Tran (T-ball) loves playing base- ball. Every game day is a good day for Jaxson. Jackson Hennessey (T-ball) is always eager to play baseball. Nicknamed “J Money,” he had a couple of good hits and fielded the ball great in his last game. Wyatt O’Brien (machine pitch) has had an impressive start to the season, with multiple hits in all three games. His talent is only overshadowed by his willingness to help his team in any way. Beckett Carter (machine pitch) had a fantastic game, going 2 for 2 with an inside-the-park, two-run home run. His fielding skills were top notch as well, getting several outs at first base. With a great attitude and sportsmanship, Beckett deserves to be noticed. Emma Hernandez (coach pitch) is in her second season of softball and has become a key role player for her team. She is on fire at third base and a huge help to her coaches and teammates in the dugout. Kyleigh Heaggans (coach pitch soft- ball) hit her first home run of the season in her last game. She also made several great stops at pitcher. On the heels of Mt. Ta-bor’s 17-4 and 14-1 losses to East Forsyth and Glenn, Davie’s softball team added to the Spartans’ misery with an 18-2 belting on April 15 in Winston-Salem. The War Eagles scored 10 second-inning runs and cruised to the 40th consecu-tive win in the series. Their 16-hit attack was paced by Raegan Davis (2 for 2), Addie Brown (2-3), Peyton Presnell (2-3), Brenna Altiers (2-3, three RBIs) and Delaney Par-sons (2-3, three RBIs). Davie played error-free defense behind pitchers Rae-lyn Lankford and R. Davis. The Spartans fell to 4-9. West 14, Davie 3Davie’s next game, though, was not fun as red-hot West Forsyth dealt the hosts a drubbing on April 18. The War Eagles went ahead 2-1 in the second in- Gabe McMurray collect-ed 3 hits in 4 at-bats as El-lis’ baseball team defeated visiting Mooresville 9-8 on April 14. McMurray doubled in the first, singled in the sixth and singled in the second.Mooresville was the first to score in the first with a solo Adams, Martin, Shore honored Davie sophomore Avarie Martin and freshman Gracie Shore were selected to the Winston-Salem Journal’s All-Area Girls Basketball Team, and Davie’s Lindsey Adams won co-coach of the year. Martin, the CPC Player of the Year, averaged 12.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3 steals, 2.1 assists and 1.2 blocks. Shore, the lone freshman to make the team, averaged 8.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.1 steals and 4 assists. Adams, who also got coach of the year in the CPC, led Davie to the regular-season championship and a 20-8 record. Junior Bailey Aderhold was named honorable mention after averaging 8.1 points.

Whisenhunt is rolling If Carson Whisenhunt keeps this up, the lefthander just might find himself in The Show before the 2025 MLB season is over. The San Francisco Giants’ top-ranked pitching prospect threw a one-hit shutout over six innings - with one walk and nine strikeouts - in Triple-A Sacramento’s 5-0 win over Salt Lake on April 19. It was his second quality start of the season after working six scoreless innings in his second outing at Las Vegas on April 5. Known for his exceptional changeup, Whisenhunt recorded five of his nine Ks against Salt Lake with the changeup. Hole in one for Robertson Ed Robertson of Mocksville celebrated his first hole in one at Meadowlands Golf Club in Winston-Salem on April 19. Robertson, Brad Collins, Andrew Yeary and Braden Williamson were playing in a captain’s choice tournament and started on No. 18. Robertson’s hole in one came on his last swing of the day, the 142-yard No. 17. The 51-year-old lefthander pulled out an 8-iron. “It hit the green, one-hopped and it disappeared,” he said. “I said: ‘Did that go in?’ They said: ‘Hell yeah.’ I went up there and she was buried.” Wednesday, April 23Davie boys lacrosse at South Iredell at 6:30Thursday, April 24Davie softball at Glenn at 6Davie varsity baseball at Glenn at 6 Friday, April 25Davie girls/boys lacrosse at home vs. West Forsyth at 5:30/7:15Monday, April 28Davie golf in CPC championship meet Davie JV/varsity soccer at home vs. W.

Softball slips to 4th B4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 24, 2025 Continued From Page B1the CPC has been a testament to goalies Will Hedrick and Carson Pirk, faceoff wizard Cas Moore and defenders Evan Helms, Elijah Chaffin, Luke Wayne and John Hol-comb. “I start with my defense. Defense wins champion-ships,” Neisler said. “We have two excellent goalies and they have played lights out. Will is going to Coker (University in South Carolina) next year to be a goalie. (Sophomore) Pirk will be leading the team next year.“Cas is our faceoff guy and he’s been very dominant. He’s a very good defender as well. If he happens to lose (a faceoff), he’s able to stop their threat.“Helms is a better of-fensive player, but Chaffin has been a strong lockdown defensive player and we put him on the opponent’s best guy. Luke and John anchor the defense as well.”Henry Hines and Owen Blakely are tied for third with 18 goals, followed by Will Carter with 12, Moore and Helms with nine and Caleb Coble and Jayce Bentley with seven. Hines is tied with T. Carter with 19 assists. Helms is third with 13, W. Carter has 11 and Moore nine. “Any one of the 13 or 14 players that get on the field Foes ...

The Davie goals against Reynolds came from Lila Moore, Richardson, Madi-son Daugherty and Kimber have done their part to make this team strong,” Neisler said. W. Carter (Ty’s younger brother) and Hines have far exceeded the coach’s expec-tations as a sophomore and freshman, respectively. “Two surprises for me have been Will and Henry,” he said. “Henry comes off the bench as a utility player. He’s got one of the hardest shots I’ve seen in a long time, and he’s fast and understands lacrosse. He has a very high lacrosse IQ for a freshman. He understands how to get open and how to beat his man.”Notes: Scoring goals against East were Pisciotta (eight), Hines (two), T. Car-ter (two), Blakely (two) and Bentley. Assists were dis-tributed by Pisciotta (three), Hines (two), Helms, W. Car-ter and Evans Steele. ... Reyn-olds is leading the CPC at 7-0, with Davie next at 6-1. ... Da-vie has blasted 11 opponents by eight-plus goals. ... Davie has overcome a collarbone injury to sophomore defender Jackson Meadwell. “We’ve had one major injury,” Neisler said. “Jackson was a starter and a great defensive player. He has offensive abilities as well. Luckily for us, we’ve been able to overcome that disappointment and move forward.” Holston. Holston had two goals at Reagan, while Moore had one. The War Eagles stumbled to 7-7 overall after their worst loss since an identical 23-3 score at East Forsyth in 2022. The top four in the CPC are West Forsyth (8-0), Rea-gan (7-1), Reynolds (6-2) and Davie (4-5). Davie lacrosse player Jack Pisciotta leads the War Eagles in goals and assists.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, April 24, 2025 - B5 Continued From Page B1Ian Patton was the starter on the mound, and he worked around seven walks to hold Forbush to two hits and one earned run over five innings. The hitting leaders were Cornett, French, Shenberger and Thalasinos, all of whom went 2 for 3. Preston Young was 1 for 3. JV ... Continued From Page B1moments later, Sain reached base for the second time in the inning with a single. When the dust settled, Davie had a commanding 8-2 lead. Hunter Potts (two RBIs), Allen, Queen and Forrest all went 2 for 4 as Davie curbed South’s four-game winning streak. James, who singled, scored three times and stole two bases, and Krause drew two walks each. “Sometimes being in that three-hole is harder on (Hunt-er Potts), but he played very well,” Anderson said. “He was staying in the middle or the backside.”Parker Davis, Ayden Sand-ers, Xander Shinsky and Colamarino combined on a five-hitter. Davis compensat-ed for five walks by fanning seven in four innings. Shinsky (1.1 innings) and Colamarino (two Ks in one inning) did not allow a run. “Parker made some very good pitches,” Anderson said. “Instead of just throwing the ball up there and seeing if they’re going to hit it, he pitched with a purpose. He paid attention to what the um-pire was calling and pitched a very good game.(Colamarino’s) arm was hurt earlier in the year and we did not rush him back into pitching. He’s a viable arm that we can pull out of the bullpen.”Sweep of ReynoldsMixed in with the wins over Watauga and S. Iredell was a CPC sweep of Reyn-olds. The War Eagles shrugged off a 7-2 deficit in the second inning and ripped the visiting Demons 20-7 on April 15. They scored two in the first, five in the second, two in the third and 11 in the fourth. Two nights later, Davie breezed past the Demons 15-1 in Winston-Salem. It was the fourth straight win in the series and the 16th in the last 18 meetings as Reynolds fell to 7-12. More Davie records have been set by Guess Who. James Rights ... has collected 42 runs, break-ing the mark of 39 set by Whit Merrifield in 2006. He will soon eclipse the single-season hits record. Merrifield had 42 in 2006, Corey Randall had 42 in 2012, Victor Patti had 41 in 1999 and James is now tied with Patti. The only other member of the 40-hit club is Michael McDaniel, who had 40 knocks in 1989. James has 12 doubles, which is the most between 1988-2025, a span of 38 years. The senior also had 12 doubles in 2022. Bubba Coleman is next on that list with 11 doubles in 1993. James’ blistering batting average at the start of the week was .630 (41 for 65). “I talk to (scouts) most of the time about his character because that’s what they don’t see a lot of times,” Anderson said. “They don’t see how Coy treats his teammates. He’s not a very vocal guy, but he tries to teach some of the guys out there. He doesn’t de-grade them or put them down.
