They spent four nights on the famous Frying Pan Tower. Frying Pan Tower is that tower far from shore where you can see on the Weather Channel where Old Glory flies - holding strong when the hurricane winds push through the Carolinas. The tower was once an old Coast Guard Station, built in 1964 to protect ships from wrecking into what is known as Frying Pan shoals. When GPS was invented, the tower was decommissioned by the Coast Guard in the 1990s. Several people have worked to restore the old tower through the years. Please See Scouts - Page 4 A 15-year-old Davie resident faces 25 charges, accused of us-ing artificial intelligence to ma-nipulate photos of classmates into sexually-oriented images.Davie Sheriff J.D. Hartman said the families of all known victims have been contacted, and more charges are expected. The suspect’s name isn’t being re-leased because of his age.The sheriff’s office started the investigation in April, after re-ceiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. That tip led them to a residence, where a search warrant was executed.“Detectives located Artificial Intelligence (AI) on his personal devices to generate inappropri-ate images involving female stu-dents,” Hartman said.The sheriff’s office informed Davie County Schools authorities about the investigation, and they were cooperative and provided all needed information, he said.On Aug. 7, detectives took the case to the Juvenile Justice sys-tem, charging the suspect with 25 counts of second-degree exploita-tion of a minor.

None spoke at the public hearing before county commis-sioners last week.He cited a problem with tres-passers as the main reason for closing more of the road. A NC DOT turnaround will be at the end.The land trust leases part of the land to hunters, who register from many areas for the chance to hunt there, Morehead said. It also leases some 136 acres for active farming. Morehead said the trust continues to seek land purchases and easements along the corridors of the rivers, as well as uses for The Point. It has already protect-ed more than 1,700 acres.“That is a beautiful, beautiful property,” said Mark Jones, coun-ty board chair. “It’s such an asset to the community.” Davie’s Sue Couch represented North Carolina at the National Senior Games in Des Moines, Iowa this sum-mer, earning sixth and seventh place finishes in two cornhole divisions.Couch competed in singles in the 80–84 age group, where she secured sixth place, and in mixed doubles in the 65–70 age group, she and partner Mike Royster finished seventh. Her Tossing bags and making history Davie cornholer competes in Iowa achievements are especially remarkable consider-ing she only picked up the game three years ago.Since then, she’s become a familiar face on the medal stand at North Carolina’s State Senior Games, consistently proving her skill and dedica-tion. “I am so honored to have represented North Carolina on the national stage,” Couch said. “The competition was tough, but the camaraderie and sportsmanship made it an unforgettable experi-ence.” Cornhole may seem like a leisurely backyard pastime to some, but at the Senior Games level, the competition is intense and requires sharp fo-cus, precise aim, and steady nerves. For Couch, it’s also about community, friendships, and staying active.Her journey is an inspiring reminder that it’s never too late to try something new—and excel at it. Who knows? Like Sue Couch, you could end up tossing bags and making history.

Thus, I’ve discovered that our first “populist” President, Carolina-born Andrew Jackson, succeeded in getting the “Indian Removal Act” passed in 1830 to enable the confiscation of Native American lands throughout the Southeast; driving its people across the country into “Indian Territory” together with the sur-vivors of the rest of the 65 tribes “cleansed” from across America…to make way for white settlers, in-cluding my grandparents into what became tOklahoma, my birthplace.However, after my father, a re-serve cavalry officer from WWI, was called to active duty, our fam-ily had moved to Fort Robinson, Neb. well before the Japanese at-tack on Peal Harbor Dec. 7, 1941. As one of the string of old cavalry forts from Vermont to California for fighting “Indian Wars”, Fort Robinson also proved to be a pre-cursor of our 800-some military bases around the world for enforc-ing and exploiting the last bastions of Western Imperialism. Because, after WWII, what with most of Eu-rope in ruins, we inherited the lead-ership role; also due to our 50 years of “imperial expertise” following our 1898 intervention in Cuba’s war for independence against Spain for which we’d claimed victory, renamed it the “Spanish American War” and took over the Spanish Empire from Latin America to the Philippines.Thus, after the Europeans failed to colonize the world, we claimed to be the winners, until we tried to save the French colony of Vietnam. There, despite our killing 3 million of its people, plus some 300,000 Cambodians & at least 60,000 Laotians, in addition to the deaths of millions of refugee boat people drowned at sea, we lost that war.Meanwhile, we’ve failed to learn that in 1948, the US, the Brits and Europeans, who had refused to accept Jewish survivors of Nazi concentration camps in our own countries, instead, expelled some 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and land, then herded them into refugee camps to make way for the desperate survivors to take over their homes and country, which their descendents have since turned into the apartheid state of Israel. Years later, even after agreements were made to permit some Palestin-ians to live on mere strips of land in the West Bank & Gaza, the Is-raelis have continued to attack their neighbors: destroying their farms, stealing more of their homes and land, turning the West Bank into a swiss cheese of isolated Palestinian communities, schools, shops and hospitals with only military check points between.Never-the-less, besides failing to inform us about the plight of the Palestinians, our mainstream media has intentionally avoided the fact that our problem with Iran did not start with“the 1979 Iranian revo-lution, but, rather in 1953, when we and the British overthrew their democratically elected President Mohammad Mossadegh because he’d attempted to take back his country’s oil from British Petro-leum. In his place, we installed “The Shah” as our dictator of Iran, until the Iranians overthrew him in 1979, for which we named Iran the “Axis of Evil”. But, in fact, it’s the nucle-ar-armed and US-weaponized Is-rael, which is the most dangerous and destructive country in the Mid-dle East, where the Israelis have continued to bomb and invade its neighbors as it seeks to occupy ever more land. All the while, the Palestinians with their own defen-sive forces known as Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as neighbor-ing Yemeni Houthis, have resisted and fought back. But for all of the hysteria and religious hype about anti-semitism, the reality is that Is-rael serves, not as our pious Juda-ic-Christian ally, but rather as our military outpost in the Middle East, where we are obsessed with own-ing or, at least controlling the oil, global trade routes and dominating the global chessboard. Thus, in the course of this 21st Century, we’ve invaded and overthrown leaders in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and most recently, Syria, where we replaced their President Assad with a former Al Qaeda-Isis terrorist.In addition, after months of US-Israeli planning to bomb Iran and assassinate their nuclear sci-entists and military leaders when they were at home with their fam-ilies; in targetting one scientist, we also killed all 65 inhabitants of an Tehran apartment building, behind the subterfuge of our ongoing nu-clear negotiations with Iran. But if this weren’t evil enough, only days later, we followed up by bombing Iranian nuclear enrichment sites (for domestic electricity production in compliance with international in-spection) under the false claim that they had produced a bomb. Until now, after almost two years of our joint Israeli-US bomb-ing assault and slaughter of Pales-tinians, the Israelis are herding the remaining men, women and chil-dren into a southern Gaza concen-tration camp, while our president, our politicians and our military-in-dustrial profiteers defend Netanya-hu’s “Final Solution”: replacing 400 professional UN humanitarian aid centers with only 4 US-Israel crudely-crafted Gaza Humanitari-an Foundation sites, which serve as deadly traps, where Israeli soldiers have shot and killed over 1,000 of the starving Palestinians seeking food for their families. What have we become in the course of slaughtering and starving of the Palestinians to death, then cleansing the rest from Gaza so that Western investors can to turn it into a Mediterranean resort for Israeli supremacists, exceptional Ameri-cans and our European collabora-tors?Jean RancMocksville US support for Gaza genocide continues To the editor:Davie County state Senator Steve Jarvis’s vote in favor of Sen-ate Bill 50, the “Freedom to Carry NC” legislation, is not just disap-pointing - it’s dangerous. By sup-porting a bill that allows 18 year olds and adults to carry concealed weapons without training or per-mits, Sen. Jarvis has chosen politi-cal ideology over public safety.As reported in the WSJ, "For-syth County Sheriff Bobby Kim-brough, speaking after the fu-neral of a fallen deputy, asked, ‘Would you give a 16 year old the car keys and send him out on the streets without teaching him how to drive?’” His plea for common sense was ignored. Sen. Jarvis, will you have murder on your hands when untrained teenagers or adults carry deadly weapons into our communities?Sen. Jarvis’s vote reflects a trou- bling allegiance to political ideol-ogy—specifically, the belief that any restriction on gun ownership is an infringement on personal lib-erty. This rigid stance ignores the practical realities faced by law en-forcement and communities. Pub-lic safety requires thoughtful reg-ulation, not blanket deregulation. When ideology overrides evidence, training, and common sense, it’s not just a philosophical error - it’s a threat to lives.Supporters of SB50 point to increased penalties for assaulting public safety personnel and ex-panded death benefits for fallen of-ficers as signs of respect. But how will these provisions justify a death caused by the very bill that makes it easier for untrained individu-als to carry concealed weapons? A $150,000 death benefit is not a substitute for a life lost. These ad-ditions feel like political cover, not genuine protection.We need legislation that priori-tizes background checks, training, and responsible ownership - not reckless deregulation. Sen. Jarvis’s votes betray the trust of constituents who expect leadership grounded in reason and care for human life.You can speak up and speak out to demand accountability and advocate for gun safety laws - em-phasizing safety - that protect our families, law enforcement, and fu-ture generations. Let’s keep Davie County safe.To voice your opinion to Sen. Jarvis, who represents Davie Coun-ty (District 30), contact: Legisla-tive Office: 300 N.

The tires were going to the countries where our troops were fighting. I found an old newspaper article in the Statesville Record and Landmark, 27 Aug, 1942, that listed those who had permission to get new tires. “Several Persons Get Tires, Tubes. At their meeting Friday, Aug. 21, the Iredell County Ra-tioning board passed the following applications, report of which was held up awaiting receipt of certifi-cates.” The classifications and number of recipients were: cars and light trucks, four tires and two tubes to two men. For heavy trucks, 33 tires, 25 tubes to 16 men and businesses. For light recaps, 37 to 14 men and businesses. For heavy recaps, 37 to 15 men and businesses. For bicyles, Horace Henderson Ervin, Joseph Blum Benge (my grandfather), Rev. J.C. Reichard, Oscar Dawson Wilson, and Mildred Irene Moser. My grandparents lived in States-ville and never owned a car. He had odd jobs of helping people and collecting rent for his landlord. His transportation was by bicycle. I wish I had a photo of him on his bike. My two sons as adults spend a lot of time on their bicycles and were so interested in seeing this ar-ticle about a great grandfather they never knew. I remember that for a short while, my grandparents had two goats. He made a little cart for them to pull. I wish I had a picture of that, also.When the war was over and things relaxed, people could buy cars, and they were so proud of them. Almost every old photograph you see in the late 40s and early 50s had the family posed in front of their automobile. It might be a used one, but the delight was still there. Maybe things haven’t changed that much. Everybody remembers their first car and all the memories attached to it. Our Brothers’ KeepersBy Julie Terry CartnerOur extended family is extreme-ly good at putting together events.We learned this years ago when my niece got married in her par-ent’s back yard. Between the par-ents, aunts, uncles, and a myriad of cousins, we pulled off the wedding of the century. Even when things went awry, as when the florist had to leave with none of the flower ar-rangements made, one cousin, our daughter, took charge, organized some helpers and got all the corsag-es and boutonnieres made, purely from what she remembered from Karen Ferrell’s horticulture class. And throughout the night, every time somebody needed anything, they’d just call out for the cousins to handle it, and they did.So, it should have come as no surprise, last weekend, when we hosted another daughter’s baby shower, that when things fell apart, a family member would step up and help, and then two days later, others would do the same.The day of the shower, when it was time to bake, we realized we had no power to the refrigerator, stove, or microwave. We had timed everything to make sure all the des-serts were freshly made, and now this. After doing some things to fig-ure out the problem, we realized it was above our pay grade and called in reinforcements. A brother-in-law, skilled in most things related to building, stopped what he was doing to drive 30 minutes to our house to help. A few hours later we were back in business, and some-how, with everyone pitching in, we managed to make up the lost time and have all the food ready when company arrived.The shower was lovely, every-thing went smoothly, and we had a houseful of company that night, and a nice visit the next day. By bedtime everyone had gone back to their respective houses except my sister, and she left the next morn-ing; however, at that point, we real-ized we had no water. It’s happened before so we knew what to do, but it was still a long, hard day of pulling out the motor, fixing the wires, and attempting to put it back together. As the well is in excess of 400 feet deep, it’s not a short, simple pro-cess, and the repairs require a com-bination of finesse and strength. By mid-afternoon, we might have still had the finesse, but we were sorely lacking in strength. I don’t mind admitting, I was wrecked! We called in reinforcements, our son and spouse and another brother-in-law who all arrived as soon as they could.It took several more hours, but by 8:00 that night, about ten hours after we realized the well wasn’t working, we once again had water. We shared a thank you meal, and everyone went home. My point: We all need help sometimes. We don’t like to ask for it, necessarily, but most people are more than happy to help out when asked. We are our “broth-ers’ keepers.” Galatians 6:2 says, “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ. John 3:17-18 states, “If any-one has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need by has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Lit-tle children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed or truth.” Levit-icus 25:35 tells us, “If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you.” In other words, be kind. Use your talents to help others. Be kind. Reach out to those in need. Be kind.My message, therefore, it two-fold. First, when you need help, do not be too proud to ask. We were lucky this time to have fam-ily members to help, but I’m sure friends and neighbors would have also. Most people love to be given the opportunity to provide assis-tance. And second, seek oppor-tunities to help others. You will be blessed as well as providing a blessing to others. We are, in fact, our brothers’ keepers. Those We MissBy Gaye HootsThis week, we lost another classmate, Brenda Stroud Gregory, who is an extended family mem-ber. Our youngest daughters are the same age and grew up together. The last few years, I only saw her at class reunions. Her older sister, Lynda Carter, was well known and loved by all in Advance and recent-ly passed away. I think of them to-gether as they were often pictured on Facebook, and my heart goes out to Sonny Stroud, their older brother, the father of my nephews, and my father’s right-hand man for many years. He is the only sibling left, as am I. You don’t expect to lose the younger ones first.One of the things I remember about Brenda, when she lived on the corner of Taylor Rd. and Un-derpass, was that when a terrified young woman, who had been raped Please See Renegade ‑ Page 3 DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 14, 2025 - 3 Renegade ... and brutalized by a man who lived near Brenda, ran to her home for help. Re-gardless of the danger to her own family, Brenda took her in, comforted her, and called for help.Our daughters started first grade together, and I remember sharing their de-velopmental milestones. My daughter said her first word at seven months and walked at fourteen months, whereas her daughter took her first step at seven months and said her first word much lat-er. I also remember Brenda’s oldest daughter, whose father was also a classmate of ours.I also heard that David Kimmer, a classmate, had serious injuries after an ac-cident with his lawnmower. Travisene Boger’s brother, Larry, is a friend who lives in Somerset now and whom I take to visit Judy Howard at Cadence. He recently fell and broke his hip and had to have surgery. This was the second hip he had broken, and there were other health issues. I spoke with him af-ter he was discharged from the hospital, expecting him to be in pain and depressed. He told me he was doing fine and ready to roll and go see Judy if I would take him when I got back in town.Betty (Bob) Potts has ex-perienced another accident and is currently receiving nursing or rehabilitation care. Lucy Barney, who was also at Somerset recently, passed. I saw her and spoke with her during my last visit BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT The BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT- An AFFORDABLE marketing choice!

That is the toughest part of growing older for me: accepting the losses of those we love to death and debili-tating health.The loss is in the phys-ical sense, because there is rarely a day I am not visited with memories of my loved ones. The most difficult memories are of those who are younger than me, but more of my memories are of happy times and things we laughed ourselves silly over. My oldest memories are of my grandparents, and all were a blessing. Three of them attended church regu-larly and had strong religious beliefs. Grandpa Hoots never expressed an opinion on this, but he had an uncanny grasp of human nature and knew the earth and animals, and plants. When a rescued ani-mal died, or I found a dead bird, we buried it and held a funeral.A favorite story, in deal-ing with the loss of loved ones, is one I heard as a child at Advance Baptist Church. It was about the author, Pearl Buck, and was written by the person who was with her at her death. They said she sat up in her bed and extended her hand, shaking hands and greeting people as if they were present, just before she expired. The person later listed the names Pearl men- The Harmony High School Class of 1962 celebrated its 63rd class reunion at Boxcar Grille in Statesville.

Harmony High Class of ‘62 4 - DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 14, 2025 Continued From Page 1It is now a non-profit owned by a group of people with interest to preserve it for educational purposes and experiences for future gen-erations. On Thursday, July 24, Davie Scouts from Troop 505 and leaders met Rich-ard Neal, executive over the tower at a marina in South-port. They also met Logan Guy, the rising popular Insta-gram scuba diver and volun-teer on the tower who spent the weekend with the Davie group. The Scouts immediately began volunteering to load new metal beams for the tower, and NASA equipment into the chartered fishing boats. They also loaded all their own equipment and food for the weekend of work. The tower holds NASA equipment used for register-ing data into earth and ener-gy data going out of earth. After loading all the equip-ment, they had a 32-mile boar ride into the ocean.Upon arrival, Each Scout and leader was lifted 83 feet into the treehouse tower di-rectly from the chartered boats. The 83-foot lift on a swing was a conquered chal-lenge for those with a fear of heights. The views from the swing ride up were incredi-ble. The Scouts unloaded the equipment that was lifted be-hind them and began settling into the tower for the next several days. Scouts worked diligently over the next several days working on the lighthouse tower on the Frying Pan. The lighthouse holds the NASA recording data and the ex-plore.org live cam. It also holds the huge light that once warned ships of the upcom-ing shoals. The Scouts assisted Rich-ard with welding the roof so a huge wind force wouldn't destroy it. Other Scouts worked on an aged Coast Guard water tank assisting with plas-ma cutting so it could be turned to a storage area on the tower. Scouts drank UV filtered rainwater for several days and prepared their own meals, often fresh fish they caught for the day. At the end of the day, Scouts had the opportunity to star gaze with zero light pollution and seen a nightly amazing view of the Milky Way with a multitude of stars. They participated in a skeet shoot on the helicopter pad and had the opportunity to watch Richard shoot fire-works off the pad also. Some Scouts took their bed mattresses to the he-licopter pad and slept all night while the ocean breeze brushed across them and the stars surrounded them. They enjoyed the most amazing sunrises and sunsets with a 360-ocean view. When the currents would calm, the Scouts placed on their wet suits and snorkel-ing gear and were lowered 83 feet back down into the Scouts ... ocean to swim with Barracu-das, sharks and a multitude of marine life. Scouts ended their last night on the Tower typical Scout style while they sat around a relaxing oak wood fire on the helicopter pad while observing the stars above - discussing events of the day. On Monday, July 28, the Scouts packed their gear and after a 32-mile boat ride back to land and 4-hour car ride they returned home to Davie County with closer bonds of friendship and a story they can tell for the rest of their life. Sponsors for the trip in-cluded Main St Brokers, Restaurant 101, Millers Restaurant, Advance Auto repair, Yellow Butterfly Home Care, and Davie Ma-jor Appliance Repair.Troop 505 meets at Cen-ter Methodist Church on Highway 64 in Mocksville.

Restaurant gets lowest score -againThe Recipe Corner By Peggy Isenhour This month’s recipes are Marvelous Mac & Cheese and Lemon Bisque. A neighbor gave me the recipe for Macaroni & Cheese, and I was a believer with the first bite. It is marvelous. The Lemon Bisque recipe is a very light and airy dessert. My mother made lemon bisque a lot, and I always looked forward to it. I like anything that has lemon in it. If you are making the recipes gluten free, I have included the brands I use and prefer. Marvelous mac & cheese recipe from a neighbor Marvelous Macaroni and Cheese½ cup uncooked macaroni (Barilla gluten free elbow pasta)4 eggs2 cups Half and Half (not low fat)3 cups grated extra sharp cheddar cheese (grate your own for gluten free)Salt to tastePepper to taste1 tablespoon butterCook macaroni and drain.

A 2006 graduate of Davie County High School, Zach headed to Appalachian State University with dreams of pursuing pharmacy, but like many students discovering their true path, he shifted gears and found his passion in construction management. Today, he works as a pro-fessional electrician.Zach was the recipient of the Davie County Enterprise Record Scholarship. “My road may have been a little different than most,” he said. “If not for the schol-arship, I may not have had the opportunity to go to col-lege at all. To the donors who made it possible, thank you.”Today, Zach is working on obtaining his electrical li-cense. Even more than career success, he values the per-sonal growth and life lessons that came with the journey. “I’ve learned that hard work and perseverance pay off,” he said. “If you find a career you enjoy, it makes every day better.”Now a father of three, in-cluding his niece he lovingly refers to as his “bonus daugh-ter”, he finds joy in coaching youth sports and mentoring the next generation.“For the past seven years, I’ve coached my boys’ sports teams. It’s an opportunity to invest in them and in other kids. I get to teach them life lessons I was able to learn myself through sports.”His mentorship extends into his profession as well. Each summer, Zach’s com-pany hires high school ap-prentices to work with him, giving them hands-on expo-sure to the electrical field. “I’ve been able to have some deep conversations with these students, not just about work, but about life,” he said. “It’s a great opportuni-ty to show them what a trade career can offer.” Reflecting on his own path, he offers heartfelt ad-vice to today’s students. “You don’t have to know what you want to be right away,” he said. “Explore different op-tions. Don’t be afraid to take a different route, like trade school. It’s not about the de-gree, it’s about doing some-thing you enjoy.”To his younger self, he’d offer this: “Take risks while you’re young. Work hard, save money, and invest ear-ly.”Married to his high school sweetheart, Sarah, also a Davie County High School alum, he beams with pride when talking about his family. Their two sons, Wyatt and Eli, are active in travel baseball and football. Their bonus daughter, Addi, is a cheerleader and horse-back rider. As a family, they share a love of the outdoors, the beach, and all things Disney. “We’re just trying to raise good kids and be the best people we can be.” he said.To learn more about the Davie Community Foun-dation contact Wesley Sharpe at (336) 753-6903 or wsharpe@daviefoundation.org or visit www.daviefoun-dation.org.

DAVIE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD, Thursday, Aug. 14, 2025 - B1Sports By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Davie’s JV football team has just about everything you could ask for on both sides of the ball, including the largest roster in memory. “We’ve got 71 kids,” said veteran assistant coach Blaine Nicholson. “We’ve got numbers for days. It’s the biggest JV roster we’ve had since I’ve been here (11 years). We’re having trouble finding everybody jersey numbers.”On offense, the War Eagles will likely lean on the ground game, partly because the o-line looks pretty formidable. There’s sophomores Aiden Houser and Camden Gloeli (5-10, 275) and freshmen Glen Greene (6-2, 220), Brodie Newman (6-0, 265) and Jamari Tillery (6-3, 275). “Houser looks like a unit out there,” Nicholson said. “He’s over 6-foot and really thick. I think he’s going to be a very good player at tackle. Gloeli played center last year. He’s going to be more of a guard this year. He’s pulling and kicking peo-ple out and abusing people. Greene’s a big fella. He’s got the prototypical tackle size. (Newman got injured last week), but hopefully he’ll be back (soon). I think when he comes back, he will probably be a starter. We’ve got some big guys who just have to be developed. That’s really, really encouraging. Tillery’s a big ol’ dude.”It looks like the No. 1 quarter-back will be freshman Wade Riden-hour. Sophomore Brady Hall is also getting practice time at QB. “Hall is a safety starter, but he’s also been getting some reps at quarterback in some run-heavy packages.”The No. 1 guy at running back is sophomore Cam Holland. Soph-omore Austin Samuels is another ball carrier. “Cam runs the ball with some bad intentions, and he’s got a good offensive line to run behind,” Nich-olson said. “We’re going to run the ball. We’re not going to be slinging it around. We’re going to try to establish physicality, and I think we’ve got an offensive line that can do that.”There’s quite a bit of reason for optimism on the defensive side as well, led by an experienced sec-ondary. Free safety Cannon Smith, Ayden Chilton and Hall are all returning starters. Mason Driver appears to be one of the starters at cornerback. “Cannon is going to be good,” Nicholson said. “Mason is Ethan Driver’s younger brother. For a freshman to come in and basically take a starting role ... He’s going to be a dude.”The inside linebacker position features sophomore Finley Sink and freshmen Bowman Blakely and Sawyer Hall. “Finley’s a guy who could prob-ably play on varsity, but because we have two, really we have four good varsity inside linebackers, he’s going to be playing JV,” Nicholson said. “He’s probably an eight-quarter guy. He’s a great player. Bowman has a chance to be really, really good. He’s got the size, the speed, he’s smart. Sawyer is another guy who I think will be pretty good for us.”Freshman Malachi Miller is an outside linebacker. “He’s an athlete in that position,” he said. “He’s going to make a lot of plays and hopefully shut down one side of the field in the run game.”Names to watch on the defensive line are freshmen Mason Sheppard and Nathan Smith. “Mason’s really good,” he said. “Before it’s all said and done, he’s probably going to get some varsity snaps. (Defensive end Smith) has been very, very impressive. He’s physical and strong.”Wade Hefner is yet another tal-ented freshman who is cross training at safety and running back. “Hefner is going to be a really By Brian PittsEnterprise Record The Davie tennis team picked up significant momentum for the 2025 season when it scrimmaged East Wilkes on Aug. 7. East edged the War Eagles 5-4, but that’s not too shabby considering the caliber of competition. Last year the Cardinals went 17-4, with the losses coming against the By Brian PittsEnterprise Record Blaze Sanders, a rising sopho-more at Davie, felt victory lane for the first time in his young racing career in the first Stadium Stock race at Bowman Gray Stadium on Aug. 2. It was an extra special moment because it put Sanders in the famous track’s history book. At 15 years, seven months, 12 days old, Sanders became the young-est driver to win a Stadium Stock race in the stadium’s long history. BGS was NASCAR’s first weekly track - it was born in 1949 - and the longest running weekly track in all of NASCAR. The old record belonged to Chase Hunt, who got his first win at 15 years, eight months old. “I didn’t even know what the record was, honestly,” Sanders said. “I didn’t know anything about that record. As long as that race track has been there, I thought somebody from the 1960s could’ve had that record. The stats guy at the stadium came and congratulated me right before 71 show up for Davie JV football Learning the game Tennis team impressive in scrimmage 1A state champion, the 1A state run-ner-up and 4A Watauga. Their No. 1 doubles team finished second in the state tournament, and - get this - they return all six singles starters. While East rolled out four seniors and two juniors in its starting six in singles, Davie coach Collin Ferebee went to work with one senior, one junior, two sophomores and two freshmen in singles. “We threw everybody out there,” Ferebee said. “Everyone who was there on both teams played. The 5-4 score was our top six players against their top six, but if you look at the overall score on the day, depth-wise we actually won the match, which I’m hoping is good for the future.”The singles winners for Davie were senior Casey Cao at No. 3, freshman Layla Hazlip at four and freshman Sydney Ward at six. In doubles, junior Corbin Drum and Ward won at two. Cao earned her victory in a third-set tiebreaker, and she did it by erasing a 6-3 deficit and scoring the last seven points. “I was really proud of her,” he said after Cao won the tiebreaker 10-6. “When we go to a third set tie-breaker, I usually feel good because I don’t think other schools practice them quite as much as we do.” we left and said: ‘You might be one of the youngest persons to do it.’ I was like: ‘Dang, that’s pretty cool.’ When I got home, I was re-watching it on the Flo broadcast and it said I was the youngest person to ever do it, and I was like: ‘Wow, that’s crazy.’ Just think about all the people who have raced over there.”This is Sanders’ second year rac-ing, and the historic victory came in his 26th race at BGS.“My first race ever last year, I finished seventh and for the longest time I couldn’t finish any higher,” he said. “In the first race this year, I was fourth, so fourth had been my best.”Sanders started on the pole and barely held off fellow Davie County driver Chris Allison. “We had a caution early on in the race,” Sanders said. “They had some quick cars up there, like somebody that lives in Mocksville, Chris Al-lison. We were all racing real hard. They started giving me a couple bumpers and hitting me around a little bit. With about two laps to go, another caution came out. We had to Sanders becomes youngest winner at Bowman Gray Please See Sanders - Page B3Please See JVs - Page B3 Please See Tennis - Page B3 Blaze Sanders’ first win made Bowman Gray history.

He is super smart and physical. We took him to some 7-on-7s and he made a bunch of plays.”Sophomore Carter Cornett Continued From Page 1There were many positives to pick from. Sophomore Ola Leszczuk and Hazlip battled hard in an 8-6 loss at No. 3 doubles, and sophomore Kate Chaffin played well in defeat at No. 2 singles. “Ola and Layla almost won, so these freshmen and Ola are ready to play,” he said. “Jumping from five (as a freshman) to two is a huge jump in one year (for Chaffin).”And then: “I said the floor is pretty high this year. I don’t think it’s a fluke. Who knows what’s going to happen in sports, but my guess is this is probably going to be the best team we see all year not named Lake Norman. If we can play that well against that many experienced players, I’m hoping for some good stuff.” Continued From Page B1restart and we (Sanders and Allison) were side by side and we battled it out until the last lap. He got under me and I pulled him a little bit and got right back in front of him. I finally edged him out right there at the checkered flag.”When Sanders held on, the happiest man in the stadium was father and Bowman Gray legend AJ Sanders, who’s in his 43rd year of racing. AJ holds the BGS record for career Stadium Stock wins with 68. “I was all excited when I got the checkered flag,” he said. “The checkered flag is a tradition around there. All I wanted to do is make my dad proud because he’s the win-ningest driver over there in Stadium Stock. He is known by a lot of people and he’s got a lot of wins everywhere, so just to make him proud and show him that I have the same Tennis ...

Last year was another Groundhog Day season for the War Eagles, who went 4-17-2. Russ Fisher left after coaching Davie for one year and it’s rebooting under Na-than Stephens, who is in his second stint at the helm. Ste-phens, who previously guided Davie from 2018 through the spring of 2021, believes a breakout year is within reach. “A lot of these kids are the same kids that were on a really good team at North (Davie), so I expect good things this year,” Stephens said. “We’re heavy on juniors and seniors. We’ve got expe-rience and willingness to get some wins. I’m on a mission this year to get us into the playoffs. I think it’s doable. We are a junior-heavy team. If we can keep everybody healthy, it’s going to be a good squad. This is by far the most talent we’ve had in a long time. I’m excited about it. I’ve said for years: ‘When that group gets here ...’ Now they’re here, so we’ll see what we can do with them.”Senior David Fishel and junior Porter Spann are goal-ies. Junior Max Rappaport is a forward. Junior Ethan Chris-tie is the center midfielder. “Ethan will be like our quarterback,” Stephens said. “I’m hoping to run a lot of things through him.”Juniors Dylan Cassetta and Hunter Stephens, the coach’s son, and sophomore Kellan Wiles are midfielders. “It has its challenges, but he deals with it pretty well,” Nathan said when asked what it’s like to coach his son. “We try to think as when we’re at soccer, I’m coach, but when I’m home, I’m dad.”Defenders are senior Jax-on Cruse, junior Hamza Hei-kal, junior Eric Martinez, sophomore William “Billy” Martin and junior Javier Mi-randa-Barrera. “Jaxon is solid,” he said. “I’m really hoping Eric can step up and play one of the roles in the back.”Senior Ezra Regalo-do-Tronsen and junior Hector Rodriguez-Vasquez earned praise from the coach. Davie County High School has named Benjamin Baity as its new athletic director and health and physical education teacher. Baity brings 13 years of leadership and teaching experience, most recently serving at South Davie Mid-dle as athletic director since 2015 and as a technology and health education teacher since 2013.Baity is a lifelong educator and coach with a deep-root-ed passion for student-ath-lete development, charac-ter-building, and community engagement. Throughout his 13-year tenure at South Davie, he led the expan-sion of athletic offerings, helped establish two middle school athletic conferences, and built a strong culture of academic accountability, sportsmanship, and integrity among student-athletes. Pri-or to joining Davie County Schools, he served students as a teacher and baseball coach at Walkertown High School from 2012-2013.“Ben Baity has been a respected leader in Davie County Schools for years, and we are thrilled to wel- Soccer primed for breakout year “You can count on Ezra,” he said. “He’s not your star, but you can count on him. Hector did not play last year, but he’s a goal-scoring ma-chine. So I’ve got big plans for Hector.”The roster includes se-niors Isaiah Beatty and Evans Steele and juniors Diego Dominguez, Josh Baker, Jaden Godbey, Ronald Pe-rez and Alex Serrano. After spending around 40 years in the Central Piedmont Confer-ence, Stephens is working to overhaul the War Eagles amid the start of a new era in the North Piedmont Conference. “I don’t know a whole lot about the new conference,” he said. “I’m not worried about how good the teams (in the NPC) are because I think people are going to look at us and be like: ‘Oh crap, Davie’s good.’ I think we’re going to surprise a whole lot of people. My goal this year is playoffs - plain and simple.”Junior VarsityDavie might have some-thing cooking on the JV level as well. “They’re going to have a good JV squad,” Stephens said. “The next two or three years are really going to be important. I think we can do some things that we’ve not done in a long time. It’s a bunch of solid players. I think we’re struggling on the defensive end. I could be wrong and I hope I’m wrong. But (the varsity) is heavy on defense; I stole a couple guys, so maybe that’s it.”Daniel Gamble, who coached North Davie soccer for several years, is the new JV coach. “We’ve worked together for six or seven seasons in one way or another, we trust each other and he knows what I like to run,” Stephens said. “We’re on the same page, and I think it’ll be really good to have him on board.”The JV roster: Talon An-drade, Anderson Branham, Seager Brooks, Jason Burke, Braydon Coffey, Aaden Coone, Brody Cox, Bennett Curtiss, Adren Davis, Kevin Duran, Harper Dyson, Austin Eggers, Caleb Frye, Thatcher Givins, Collin Gray, Dylan Hendrix, David Hernandez, John Mejia, Josting Palacios, Emmanuel Perez, Alexander Ramirez, Anthony Ramirez, Leighton Reavis, Hernan Sanchez and Graham Weaver. come him into this new role,” said Cindy Stone, princi-pal of Davie County High School. “His commitment to excellence both on and off the field, his experience in program development, and his strong relationships within our school community make him an outstanding fit to lead War Eagle Athletics.”A graduate of North Car-olina State University with a bachelor of science degree in Technology Education, Baity also holds licensure in Health and Physical Education. He is certified in CPR/AED/First Aid, Level 2 First Re-sponder Injury Management, and brings a wealth of expe-rience in budgeting, coach development, and game day operations.“I am honored to step into this role,” said Baity. “I look forward to continuing the proud tradition of War Ea-gle Athletics while building programs that inspire pride, teamwork, and empower personal growth in every student-athlete.”Baity begins his new role immediately.
