Starkey, Gay first in cross country meets
Kristen Starkey claimed the conference’s individual title and led the Ellis girls cross country team to first place in the Tri-County Conference championship meet last week.
Ellis swept the individual titles as Jaxon Gay ran to first for the male Jaguars. As a team, Ellis finished second behind Mooresville.
Volleyball 3rd in CPC
The final week of the regular season was easy for Davie varsity volleyball, which pounded Parkland and Glenn in three sets. The scores against visiting Parkland were 25-12, 25-6, 25-15. The scores at Glenn were 25-14, 25-7, 25-3.
The wins sustained a streak – Davie has not finished lower than third in Amber Brandon’s 10 years as coach. While Reagan and West Forsyth shared first place at 13-1, the War Eagles (10-10 overall) and East Forsyth shared third at 9-5. Mt. Tabor was 5-9, Reynolds 4-10, Parkland 2-12 and Glenn 1-13.
JV volleyball goes 12-2 in CPC
Davie JV volleyball closed its season with a four-match winning streak, including 2-0 victories over Parkland and Glenn last week. Davie went 14-6 overall and 12-2 in the CPC.
Varsity soccer loses to Parkland, East
Davie varsity soccer was in prime position to snap its long losing streak in the CPC. The War Eagles led 3-1 at halftime at Parkland, and still led by two with 20 minutes left. But the Mustangs rallied furiously, scoring twice in the last minute to win 4-3 and extend Davie’s league losing streak to 23.
Davie had been outscored 24-0 in the CPC before getting first-half goals from Rafael Amaro, Hunter Stephens and Gage Whitaker. Justin Rayas, Stephens and Whitaker had the assists.
Two days later, Davie lost 4-1 at home to East Forsyth. Davie was right there at halftime – the score was 1-1 – even though East came in with a 10-2-2 record. But East pulled away in the second half to drop Davie to 4-11-2 overall and 0-8 in the league. Whitaker had the goal, getting an assist from Kellan Wiles.
Tabor JV mauls Davie
Mt. Tabor crushed Davie JV football 46-0 in Winston-Salem on Oct. 10. The Spartans (5-2) rolled to leads of 20-0 in the first quarter, 34-0 at halftime and 46-0 at the end of the third.
The Tabor-West Forsyth score from Sept. 19 paints a less-than-rosy picture for Davie’s home game against West on Oct. 17: Tabor only beat West 18-14.
