Bailey shines in Davie debut

Sophomore Kori Bailey shot a 12-over 47 in her Davie golf debut at Salem Glen on Aug. 17. West Forsyth defeated Davie 126-152.

The same two teams competed at Oak Valley on Aug. 21. This time Davie’s top player was junior Callie Wisecarver (18-over 54). The Titans won by a score of 114-168.

“West is going to be very good and will give Reagan a run if their girls play this well,” Davie coach Bob Donley said. “(This) was not a good day for us.”

Middle school softball results

• Ellis’ softball team raced past visiting Southeast 17-2 in three innings on Aug. 21 as the Jaguars blended seven hits with 14 walks.

The top hitters were Meredith Jones (2 for 2, two runs, two walks), Karah Shore (2-2, two RBIs, three runs) and Annabelle Wright (2-3, two runs, three RBIs). Adalae Massey went 1 for 1 with two RBIs as Ellis moved to 1-1. Kyndall Upright and Victoria Patton drew three walks each.

• South Davie’s softball team blasted visiting North Rowan 29-2 in two and a half innings on Aug. 21. Three days later, the Tigers lost 13-11 at Corriher-Lipe in a rain-shortened game.

In the top of the fourth, the Tigers chopped a 13-1 deficit to 13-11 with an amazing 10-run outburst. But then rain forced the action to stop, and since South batted in the top of the fourth, the game was official as South slipped to 2-2.

• North Davie’s opening game was a 4-1 home loss to Erwin on Aug. 21.

The Wildcats scratched in the third to tie it up. Kinley Pasquet singled to start the rally, and she would go 2 for 3 to lead the way. Grayce Clark pitched well in defeat, allowing one earned run, walking two and striking out seven.
