Teacher heads to Israel to enhance Holocaust lessons by Justin Vick justin@cmgweekly.com
C H A R L OT T E – Kathleen Cunningham, an eighthgrade English teacher at Community House Middle Cunningham School, will travel to Jerusalem,
Israel this summer to enhance her understanding of the Holocaust. Cunningham is among 35 educators who will attend an advanced learning seminar in July offered by Echoes & Reflections. They will get a tour of Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, as well as engage in workshops, listen to lectures and visit historical and
cultural sites. “What I'm really looking forward to is being immersed in the culture over there and how they perceive, view and teach the Holocaust,” Cunningham said. “Their lens is going to be different than the lens I have here as someone non-Jewish raised here in America.” The seminars help develop a more
personal connection to what they are teaching, according to Sheryl Ochayon, Yad Vashem’s program director for Echoes & Reflections. “The empathy and stronger knowledge base they build during these experiences carry over into the classroom and help educators see HOLOCAUST, Page 4A

CHARLOTTE – Green Party candidate Allen Smith brought his 9th Congressional District campaign to the Duke Energy Center in Uptown Charlotte on May 30. Smith and the Green Party want to see the multi-billion-dollar energy company, and other
utilities like it, become publicly owned. That is part of the party’s Green Party New Deal, which also includes the elimination of fossil fuels by 2030, 100% renewable energy by 2030, redirecting half of military spending and enacting a comprehensive Medicare-for-all. Smith, who lives in south Charlotte, is facing Republican Dan Bishop, Democrat Dan
DAN MCCREADY McCready and Libertarian Party nominee Jeff Scott in the Sept. 10 special election. The special election was called after last November’s election was invalidated by the North Carolina Board of Elections after alleged absentee ballot fraud emerged in Bladen County on behalf of thenGOP candidate Mark Harris. see GREEN, Page 3A

Clinics help patients with chronic kidney disease by Karie Simmons karie@cmgweekly.com
CHARLOTTE – Typos have been around since the invention of the typewriter and despite technological advances like spellcheck and autocorrect, they still happen today. Whether a misspelled word or grammatical error, typos are considered to be mistakes, but not for Rhonda Campbell Duggan. In her case, a misspelled word was the best mistake anyone could have ever made. Duggan had always dreamed of becoming a trauma flight nurse. When she started her nursing career in 1995, she was assigned to work in neurology at Carolina Medical Center in Charlotte (now Atrium Health). “The whole adrenaline thing, I loved that,” she said. But on her first day, a typo redirected her to the nephrology unit working with patients with kidney disease. The unintended switch turned out to be the perfect career fit for Duggan, who has now been a nephrology nurse for over two decades. “I asked them, ‘Are you sure this is where I’m see NURSE, Page 5A
Rhonda Campbell Duggan may have discovered her passion for nephrology by accident, but her decision to stick with it for the past 24 years was no mistake. Photo courtesy of Fresenius Kidney Care

Readers give me chuckles
Y
ou never know what you’re going to find when you sift through the ballots of our annual Best of the Weekly readers choice competition. A few ballots had poop on them. Well, a few of them had the word “poop” written in the Best Bank category. I had to do due diligence by googling “poop bank.” They exist, all right. Fortunately, financial banks had more votes. One Union County reader noted how there wasn’t a good place in Monroe for dates, steaks, seafood and Italian food. Another reader put how their house was home to the best barbecue, wings, steak and cupcakes, but to my dismay failed to leave an address. Best Date Night had a slew of responses, ranging from a church to a tattoo shop. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. One reader used the ballot to briefly explain how happy hour doesn’t exist. True, North Carolina only lets bars offer food specials, not booze. Maybe we should move Best Happy Hour to the food category rather than drinking category. see VICK, Page 2A

Companies commit to fund affordable housing
STAY CONNECTED
CHARLOTTE – Foundation For The Carolinas announced major commitments for its affordable housing fundraising campaign. Atrium Health committed $10 million to the Charlotte Housing Opportunity Investment Fund, which is aimed at increasing affordable housing in Mecklenburg County. Fifth Third Bank committed $10 million, including $3 million to the private-sector fund and $7 million in planned investments and loan initiatives to increase accessibility to affordable housing options. The foundation also announced a threeacre gift of privately owned family land from David and Scott Brooks, owners of Brooks Sandwich House. The land will be used to create 18 to 24 townhomes for homeownership through Habitat for Humanity. Mecklenburg County faces a deficit of more than 30,000 affordable housing units. Foundation For The Carolinas is leading a campaign to raise $50 million from the private sector for the Charlotte Housing Opportunity Investment Fund – matching the $50 million bond referendum voters approved last November to meet the growing need to increase production through Charlotte’s Housing Trust Fund.

School board decides fate of Rea Farms CHARLOTTE – Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools has decided how it will fill the school at Rea Farms once it opens in fall 2020. Enrollment will be split with 70 percent of the seats assigned based on home school attendance boundary and 30 percent available in the school choice lottery. The theme of the school will be determined with more feedback, primarily from families in the attendance area. Sean Strain, who represents the Rea Farms area, offered an alternative plan during the June 4 school board meeting that closer aligned with feedback from the community, but only Strain and Rhonda Cheek favored it. Superintendent Clayton Wilcox criticized Strain's plan, but thanked him for his work on the issue. “He has pushed our thinking on this repeatedly,” Wilcox said, acknowledging his point that CMS has not provided south Charlotte schools with magnet programs. Editor's note: We'll have a story on the plan in next week's edition.

Toole: Controlled access to cannabis could help schools CHARLOTTE – Bill Toole, Democratic candidate for Lt. Governor, called for controlled access to cannabis in North Carolina. Toole’s proposes using the same process already in place for liquor sales, which is only sold in ABC stores to people 21 and older and only after voters decide whether to permit sales. “We’ll tax it and spend the money battling teen suicide and treating the opioid health crisis,” he said. “Think what $450 million a year could do for our schools and our health care systems.” With new revenues generated from controlled access, $337.5 million (75%) could be used to place nurses, social workers and psychologists in each public school to help confront teen depression and suicide. Municipalities could use their revenue shares to fund behavioral health programs, alcohol and drug treatment, as well as combat the opioid crisis.

Erb strives to create better math program by Jusin Vick justin@cmgweekly.com
CHARLOTTE – Tyler Erb earned Southwest Teacher of the Year honors from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in part for his work outside of the classroom to build a better, more equitable math program. Erb has taught at Community House Middle School for six years. He realized early on that he had brilliant students whose parents had exposed them to math at a young age. But with 1,800 students at Community House, he figured there were students that had just as much potential without that level of support. Erb started a math club, which helped increase enrollment in more advanced math classes. A couple of years later, he reached out to feeder elementary schools and worked with their talent development teachers to prepare fifth-graders for taking accelerated math classes once at Community House. This resulted in a Math I advanced class for the sixth grade.
He's also worked to promote the Math Counts program at other schools to help them see math outside the classroom, as well as partnered with a professor at UNC Charlotte to host a math camp and scholarship program for the camp. “Equity means providing schools with the resources they need to succeed,” Erb said. “That is not going to look the same for every school. Certain schools are going to need more than others, but we know that no matter what those students need and what those schools need, the outcome can be the same – high levels of math achievement.” Erb was one of six finalists for CMS Teacher of the Year, which was won by Kimberly Tuttle, of Levine Middle College High School. Other finalists were Precious Kotte, Metro School; Cherelle Phelps, West Charlotte High; Nancy Pursley, Huntersville Elementary; and Alicianna Smith, Stoney Creek Elementary. “Our students are what matter most,” CMS Chief Academic Officer Brian Kingsley said. “These six teachers have a deep and demonstrated investment in our mission in public education to teach every student who comes to us no matter what.”
Did you know? Union County Public Schools named Tyler Erb's wife, Ashley Erb, as its 201819 Teacher of the Year for her work at West Union Elementary School in Waxhaw.

Most teachers earn recognition for what they do in the classroom, but Tyler Erb’s efforts have influenced several schools.
GREEN Harris endorsed the call for a new election but did not run in the GOP primary, citing health issues. Smith last appeared on local ballots in 2017, when he earned 42% of the vote in a losing race to Sean Strain for the District 6 seat on the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Board. “We need a real Green New Deal, an eco-socialist transformation, not only to combat climate change and revolutionize our infrastructure, but to re-engineer our social order,” Smith said. “A Green New Deal that says no to war and imperialism by taking the billions of unnecessary dol-

Smith told supporters that Duke’s control of the state’s energy grid through a government-protected monopoly must end. “That means in our state, if you use electricity in your home or your business, chances are you’ll be paying Duke Energy for it,” Smith said. “I have a friend, whose name I won’t use because her boss might find out. Let’s call her Erin. She is a working mom, and like a lot of working parents, she can’t afford a higher electric bill. She has to wrestle with whether to buy groceries or pay down her electric bill. “She works for a thriving local business, but her employer won’t let her work more hours because they would then have to provide health insurance.

raises her rate, she will have no choice but to pay up or have her family’s electricity shutoff.” Green Party presidential candidate Howie Hawkins was also at the event supporting Smith. Hawkins, who announced his candidacy for the Green Party nomination in late May, has run for governor in New York three times, getting more than 50,000 votes in each election, which keeps the party’s ballot status in the state. “I was the first candidate to campaign in the United States on the Green New Deal when we were coming out of the Great Recession,” Hawkins said. “I have been fighting these utilities since we fought nuclear power in the 1970s.’’

convey to students that the Holocaust is a human story – part of our shared human story,” Ochayon said. Students at Community House Middle School have the advantage of being taught by someone well-versed on the subject. Cunningham has sought out other training opportunities to enrich her understanding. She also reads a lot of historical fiction novels about the World War II era. “Night” by Elie Wiesel serves as an anchor during an eight-week Holocaust unit in her classes. “People always ask me why I'm so interested in the Holocaust,” Cunningham said. “They assume that I'm Jewish.”
Cunningham is actually non-denominational, but she finds the subject interesting. “It really forces yourself and your students to think critically and see how it impacts our lives today and reflect on our behaviors,” she said. “It just teaches us to be more kind and compassionate in our actions.” There was a time when Cunningham considered becoming a Holocaust educator. But she's currently pursuing a master's degree in hopes of becoming a principal. Want to apply? Echoes & Reflections, a resource for Holocaust educational materials, will open the application process for 2020 seminars later this year. Visit www.echoesandreflections. org for details.

supposed to be?’” she said. “I even called HR and they said that’s where I was supposed to be and 24 years later, it’s still where I’m supposed to be.” Duggan spent four years at CMC before leaving to work at a home dialysis clinic. In 2002, she returned to CMC’s nephrology unit and worked on the transplant team until 2015, when she became a senior clinical innovation manager at Fresenius Kidney Care Charlotte. She found she had a passion for working with patients with chronic kidney disease who need life-sustaining dialysis to mimic their natural kidney function. Fresenius Kidney Care helps more than 190,000 patients in the U.S. and operates more than 2,400 clinics, several of which are in Mecklenburg and Union counties. As part of Fresenius’ home therapy clinical marketing team, Duggan wears a lot of hats. Not only does she work with patients, teaching them to administer their own dialysis at home, she also serves as the company’s clinical expert during product validation for new peritoneal dialysis (PD) machines, writes training materials for patients and nurses and represents Fresenius at industry trade shows and conferences. PD is an at-home treatment for kidney failure that uses the lining of the abdomen to naturally filter and clean the blood. During treatments, dialysate fluid is circulated into the body through an abdominal catheter either manually or by
using a PD machine called a cycler. The fluid absorbs the waste, toxins and excess fluid from the blood, which are removed when the dialysate is drained. Treatments are generally painless and can be done while patients sleep. At-home PD is more flexible than going to a dialysis center several times a week (PD patients only have to go twice a month for blood work and checkups) and there are no needles, unlike hemodialysis. Before starting PD, patients receive detailed training at a center to ensure they feel comfortable doing it on their own. They also learn proper catheter care. “When patients are told they have a chronic disease, they feel like it’s out of their control,” Duggan said. “When you’re able to do your treatments at home, some of that control is taken back.” Approximately 85% of patients with chronic kidney and end stage renal diseases are eligible for dialysis, but only 10% choose to do it at home, according to Duggan. She thinks it’s because patients don’t feel confident enough. Either they’re hearing misinformation or not enough information about athome PD, she said. Inspired by her desire to encourage fellow nurses to empower their patients, Duggan decided to pursue a master’s degree in nursing with a focus on nursing education. But as a single mom, she worried she couldn’t afford to finish it. Luckily, Duggan’s contributions to nephrology have not gone unnoticed. She recently received a scholarship from Fresenius Medical Care North America and the American Nephrology Nurses As-
Tips for caring for loved ones on dialysis Knowlege is key: In the beginning, the person you care for will need to make a lot of choices, and you may be asked to help. Start by taking advantage of the wealth of information on www.freseniuskidneycare.com. Check out the section on Treatment Options and take a look at the Treatment Decision Guide. It’s also a great idea to go to a KidneyCare:365 class with your loved one so you both know what to expect. Keep track of their symptoms: Flu-like symptoms, such as feeling tired or weak and having chills, are common for people on dialysis. You may notice they sleep more or are more forgetful. These symptoms are most often due to anemia—a shortage of red blood cells—and can be treated. Be sure to keep the nephrologist and treatment team informed about how the person you care for is doing.

sociation and is two classes away from earning her advanced degree. After graduation, her sights are set on working to develop a home dialysis training curriculum for nurses in the same nephrology unit she started in 24 years ago. “I’m giving back and going back to my roots of where I got started,” she said. Looking back, Duggan believes the typo on her first day was meant to be. Without it, she would have never discovered her passion or been able to make as big of an impact, especially in educating patients and nurses about at-home PD. “Somebody planned it out for me,” Duggan said. “I didn’t necessarily know the plan, but somebody planned this for me. There’s no doubt about that.” Want to learn more?

Rev. Tony: They didn’t tell me the rules of seersucker suits Tony Marciano Reverend
I
love wearing suits. I enjoy wearing them with a crisp white shirt. Let me tell you about the suit. There is only one kind of suit I wear. It must be a dark suit. Not just a plain dark suit, it must have pinstripes. No, I’m not talking about a “zoot suit” with wide white stripes on a dark suit. They must be narrow pinstripes. I always feel like a million bucks. When I first came to Charlotte, I had a white sports jacket. I wore it in October and got snarky comments from people who said, “Doesn’t he know that you don’t wear white after Labor Day?” I am so very scared to get another comment like that, so I haven’t worn that jacket in over 20 years. I didn’t know what a seersucker suit was until I came to the South. The first time I saw one, Andy Griffith was wearing it on the TV show “Matlock.” I couldn’t understand why you would wear it. Fast forward, I am a member of the Charlotte Rotary Club. The first Tuesday after Memorial Day, all the attorneys in the club wear a seersucker suit. There is a sea of them. The president invites all the members wearing one to stand up. It’s awesome. Fast forward one more time, I’m at the Charlotte Rotary Club the Tuesday after Mother’s Day. One of the club members is wearing a “red” seersucker suit instead of a blue one. I had never seen one of those before. I was intrigued and went up to my friend and razzed him saying, “I thought you couldn’t wear a seersucker suit before Memorial Day.” I felt good that I was being obedient to the rules of suits in the South.
He looked at me and said, “No, you can wear a seersucker suit right after Mother’s Day.” I was confused. I thought I knew the rules. When can you start wearing a seersucker suit? I’ve learned that rules are a safe place to hide behind. As long as you know the rules, you can look really good. But what if the rules change? Or, what if the rules go away? Whoa, that’s a really scary place to live. What are the rules of being a Christ follower? When my daughter turned 14, the youth minister in our church gave her a list of 200 things she could or could not do as a Christian. If she stayed true to the list, God would love her (sarcasm intended). Today, as a young adult, Maria and I laugh about that list. The youth minister was well intended but missed the mark. Yes, the rules are a safe place to hide behind, but it doesn’t move us to a relationship with God. What are the rules of being a Christ follower? Jesus said, “If you love me, you’ll obey my commandments.” I started to wonder, “What are his commandments? Was the list the youth director gave my daughter the same list Jesus gave us?” There is a shorter list. It contains just two things. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” I can remember that. Executing them, well, I come up short every day. In spite of my failures, He still loves me. Back to seersucker suits. Someone please tell me if I can wear them after Mother’s Day or do I have to wait until Memorial Day? I’ll be back soon. Until then, live well my friend. Rev. Tony Marciano is the president/CEO of the Charlotte Rescue Mission.

Bucs 3-peat leads to Davis’ 30th title by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com
CHARLOTTE – Calvin Davis will one day end up in Country Day’s hall of fame for what he’s done for the Bucs’ tennis program. Davis was named the Professional Tennis Registry High School Coach of the Year last season. He has now won 30 state titles while at Country Day and 18 of the Bucs’ 19 boys state championships after the Bucs stomped Greensboro Day 5-1 on May 18. With all of that success, even he
was surprised by a telling couple of numbers: 155-5. That was the Bucs record in individual games won and lost against teams from North Carolina as they went 19-0 in the state. “Wow,” Davis said after a pause. “I didn’t realize that was the number.” A winning percentage of .969 on the season is remarkable especially considering the level of talented teams the Bucs had to go through to reach their third straight NCISAA title. They played Division II state champion Carmel Christian and
blanked them 9-0. Perennial powers like Cary Academy and Durham Academy along with two matches against runner-up Greensboro Day didn’t deter the remarkable season nor did matches against their CISAA opponents. “We faced quality schools throughout the season and the teams in our conference are really good teams, too,” Davis said. “We were blessed to have so many good players at the same place at one time, but the best part of it was they worked so well see TENNIS, Page 3B

CLT’s Byron accelerates toward NASCAR stardom by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com
CHARLOTTE – The best NASCAR drivers from around the world converged on Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 18 for the All-Star Race and May 26 for the Coca-Cola 600. Both races featured Charlotte’s own William Byron, the reigning Sunoco Rookie of
the Year. Byron, a 2016 Charlotte Country Day grad who still lives in south Charlotte, placed ninth in both races. I recently caught up with Byron prior to the Coca-Cola 600 to get his feelings on his hometown and much more. Andrew Stark: How cool is it going to see NASCAR, Page 2B

Cougars stars, depth lead to repeat title on links Health, Hackett tie for second; Catholic wins state title by 21 strokes by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com
CHARLOTTE – Charlotte Catholic coach Shawn Panther said he always knows what he’s going to get from his top two golfers, but the Cougars were going to need more to repeat as state champions. Last year, Catholic won the 3A title for the first time and won their first state tournament since 2004. Senior Drew Hackett sank the winning putt in last season’s championship and has been the Cougars leading scorer by a hair. The UNC Wilmington commit is steady and consistent after finishing fourth in
the state last year. He is a big-time team leader as one of just two seniors. Junior Jack Heath is lefty with a sweet swing. As a sophomore, Heath had followed up his great showing at the state tournament with a commitment to Tennessee. After the Vols coach retired, Heath has re-opened his commitment and is attracting a host of Power 5 schools hot on his trail. “Drew and Jack have been there all year,” Panther said. “I know they’re going to show up. They may have been the two best players in the city all season, and I’m blessed to have see GOLF, Page 3B

CHARLOTTE – The Charlotte Latin girls lacrosse team’s finish to the regular season didn’t predict playoff success for the Hawks, but it may have gotten them ready. The Hawks closed the season with losses to Weddington (a team that was unbeaten at the time) and private school powerhouse Durham Academy, completing a three-game stretch of not great play. That was especially true for the Durham Academy game where coach Nikki Williams said the team played very poorly. “You never like to lose, but maybe that was good for us in a way,” she said. “We did not play so good, so maybe that was a wake-up call.” Refocused, the Hawks pounded Asheville 17-4 in the opener of the NCISAA tournament and got revenge in the semifinals with a 16-7 statement win over Durham Academy to reach the finals, a place the Hawks have frequented in recent seasons. Last season, Charlotte Latin had let rival Country Day get a big lead early, and the Hawks’ furious rally ended just short with a disappointing 11-10 loss. “Those kids who were here last year sort of got too close and they felt the agony they didn’t want to feel again,” Williams said. “We gave it away last year by getting down and not being in the right frame of mind to get that win. That was a big change for us. They had no panic because they all had a common goal.” The Hawks had also lost in 2017 to the Bucs, who won seven consecutive titles before getting knocked out in the semis with an 8-11 record this year. see LAX, Page 3B
“Moose” ended rampant speculation as to where the 4-star wide receiver will play college ball when he committed to Texas A&M on June 3. Muhammad went over 1,000 yards last season and is one of the state’s top kick returners.

NASCAR (continued from page 1B)
be this weekend being back home in Charlotte and getting to race on your home track? Byron: Yeah, it’s my second year for the 600 but I’m excited about it. I’m looking forward to (putting into place) what we learned in the All-Star Race. Going into this race, it should help us with the notebook we have from last week, for sure. Stark: How much does last year’s experience help you specifically when it comes to the track at Charlotte Motor Speedway? Byron: It helps a lot. This is a very temperature-sensitive track, so you have to take a different approach. You have to do it during the daytime, and then have a nice transition to night time when it really counts. I’m trying to learn a lot from what that day-tonight transition is for us and hopefully that’s successful. Stark: Do you still live Charlotte? And if so, what area of town do you live in right now? Byron: I live in south Charlotte in an apartment complex near Park Road Shopping Center. I’ve been living in Charlotte my whole life and I’ve been in that area, within about five or 10 minutes or so, my whole life. I really like that area. It’s home for sure, and it makes it really easy to come home after the races and have a nice place to go to. Stark: What are some of your favorite hot spots to hang out around town? Byron: I really like the Cotswold area and the South End area because there’s a lot of people my age, and there are a lot of really good restaurants there. I spend most of my time in the Cotswold area. Stark: Do people recognize you often when you’re out? Byron: Definitely in the last couple of years, that’s become more common. Stark: Back to racing for a minute, can you tell me how you first got involved with Hendrick Motorsports and what’s it like to have the support and backing of a Hall of Fame owner and his team? Byron: I started my relationship with Hendrick Motorsports when I was coming out of the truck series in 2016. I was racing in the truck series and had won a few races when I first got the call from ‘Mr. H’ in July of 2016. That was the first big breakthrough in my career and obviously a huge deal. The connection has grown into the Cup Series and the opportunity I have now is definitely a great one. Stark: What’s it like to have the backing of that behind you? Byron: It’s great. It gives you a big sense of confidence knowing you’re with a great team that has the potential to win races. That’s all you can ask for, and that’s what it’s all about. So, yeah, it gives you a lot of confidence and the ability to do everything I need to do. I’m very fortunate for that, and I’m also fortunate for being on a team I looked up to as a kid. That’s really important. Stark: Do some of the recently retired Hendrick guys like Jeff Gordon still come around and give you advice or do you get to see those guys a lot, too? Byron: Yeah, they do. Jimmie Johnson, obviously being my teammate, is a big help to me and he’s able to guide me and coach me through some things and that’s really im-

portant. Outside of that, I’d say Jeff Gordon for what he does for Hendrick Motorsports and in the broadcasting booth. I get a chance to talk to him most every week about what we’re doing and he helps quite a bit and has helped with my progression. Stark: Has there ever been a moment meeting someone in racing where you’ve become a little bit starstruck? Byron: Yeah, I’d say Jimmie because he was a big part of my childhood growing up when I’d watch racing. I’d say I was a little starstruck when I first met him and got to be teammates with him and having interaction every week. But, that would probably be about the only guy. Stark: You started racing Legends cars when you were 15, which is relatively late to most other drivers. You’ve had to push through this a little faster than some guys. How has that helped you in your career? Byron: It’s definitely been a shorter projection for me coming from a shorter background and not coming from a racing family. I always persevered and I loved racing myself. Nobody else pushed me into it, and I think that’s something that has helped me progress without feeling that pressure from the outside. I think that’s always been a good thing for me. There’s been less pressure – over really the only pressure I put on myself – so I think that has been the biggest difference because I haven’t had that outside pressure to do anything. I’ve been on my own patch to get here.
Byron: I think it was cool. I got a chance to know everyone from scratch, play sports with everyone through the years and things stayed the same for the most part. I had the ability to be very comfortable in that environment, play sports with the same kids I grew up with. It was a comfort factor. I think it allowed me to pursue other things and not have to worry about the social aspect of things. I think I had a really good environment where I got to pursue racing as a career.
Friday and Saturday night and really learning a lot from that.
Stark: What are some of your good memories of growing up in this area? Byron: Playing Pop Warner football off Carmel Road for a few years. We were the Falcons and that was a lot of fun. I built a lot of relationships that way and kind of had to learn how to be tough. That’s helped me all along my racing career as far as being tough and being able to stand up for yourself. I broke some bones doing that, but it was a lot of fun. I think it led me toward racing because of the similarities between the two. And then there’s starting my career here. I was racing Legends cars up in Concord every
Stark: It seems that way with the Rookie of the Year honors. What does that do for you as far as motivating you and assuring you are trending in the right direction? Byron: It is motivation. Being recognized for the work you’ve put in and the things you’ve accomplished is good. Really, my inner drive comes from my will to succeed and from what racing means to me and what I do it for. That’s the most important thing to me, but outside recognition is nice, too.
Stark: Now you’ve arrived on the biggest stage of NASCAR. What are some of your goals this season? Byron: My goal is to try to win a race. I think our overall goal is to win the playoffs, but we’d like to win a race and we have a lot of potential to do that. I’m real excited about what’s ahead for us, and I feel like we’re on the right path.
Stark: You’ve always been a south Charlotte guy and you were a Charlotte Country Day graduate. How long did you go there and when did you graduate? Byron: I went to Country Day my whole childhood and graduated in 2016. I was there from kindergarten through 12th grade, so it was a home for me. I kind of knew everybody because not a lot of the people leave or change over the years, so that was a cool thing and an important part of my childhood. Stark: What was the best part of that small-school environment for you where you know all of the kids?

together as a unit. We didn’t have any selfish players on this team at all. Nobody complained about what position they were going to play from match to match and they were constantly hanging out and having breakfast and lunches together and doing things with each other. It was a great group.” So how were the Bucs able to dominate so well? First, they had to replace Luke McClelland, a three-time all-state selection who is now a freshman at Washington University in St. Louis. To combat that, the Bucs welcomed freshman David Saye, who came in as the No. 1 from the jump and earned all-state honors after posting a perfect record of 15-0 in singles and 13-0 in doubles. But he wasn’t the only newcomer to make an impact as freshman Nathan Jackson and Sam Farnham both got some singles action and Jackson was a regular on the No. 2 doubles team. The rest of the lineup remained intact from last year’s state championship team and came back eager to win another title this time around. All-state junior Bennett Turner was outstanding at No. 2 and was followed in the lineup by Kaelan van Cleeff, Tarun Prakash, Johnny Bingham, Michael Smith and some

combination of Jackson or Farnham usually rounded out the rotation. Davis played most of his players on multiple lines during the season to keep it fresh and to give guys some different competition to prepare for states. “Almost none of those guys lost many matches at all,” Davis said. “And the beauty of it all is that we got to play our one through four players at No. 1 at different times during the year, which gave them a lot
of experience and confidence.” The Bucs’ dominance may continue despite them losing six seniors to graduation. Davis said four of his top six singles players are back next year with Van Cleef still just a sophomore and the three freshmen this year ready to keep the tradition going. For Davis, the orchestrator of so many championship runs, this one still meant quite a bit. “Personally, I was really excited for Mi-
chael Smith, a senior who played No. 6 for us,” Davis said. “He continuously came through for us, and it was his match that culminated the win at states. “They’re all special because I get older and people ask if this is going to be my last year because I’m really starting to move on now ...We had great parents this year who never questioned anything I did. That made it easier for me to relax and easier for the guys to relax. It was a great situation.”

LAX (continued from page 1B)
With the experience of three straight finals, the Hawks’ Colombo sisters went to work. Junior attacker Gracie Colombo led all scorers with eight goals in the championship, a 17-8 win over Ravenscroft on May 18. Sister Cece Colombo, who is an all-state senior midfielder, added three goals in the game and has meant so much to Latin’s rise over the previous four seasons. “She’s really the force in between those defending lines and she’s got the most takeaways on our team,” Williams said. “She does an amazing job with turnovers and getting the ball back for us.” Gracie Colombo scored over 70 goals this season. Cece added 50 goals, 30 assists and also won a school record 130 draws. Megan Klinginburg also had four goals in the route. Charlotte Latin’s defense, which had allowed 12 goals per game during that three-game stretch, had surrendered just 6.3 during the postseason. Junior goalkeeper Emily Harris and key junior defenders Zoe Clater and Carter Barlow helped the
Latin defense shut down opposing attacks as the Hawks cruised to their first-ever lacrosse title. “Our defenders have to go up against these top girls and a lot them are Division 1 players and we’ve been able to slow them down,” Williams said. “If we can take care of the other team’s top players - something we were able to do in the playoffs - it helps us out a lot. We’ve got depth and a lot more numbers than other teams, but if we can take them out we can slow teams down.” That formula worked perfectly as the Hawks raised their first-ever banner. Williams said it hasn’t always been easy, but to feel what it feels like to be a champion has been worth everything. “It’s been a battle,” she said. “I started here seven years ago where they weren’t in the top four even. It’s been great to build this and to get the support from the campus, the kids and we have younger kids playing and our lacrosse numbers are up across the board. We almost had 80 girls in the program this year. The momentum has been great and it’s super exciting. We’ve been working really hard to get there. “Everyone bought into the team goal of winning a championship and I think it was that and the team play overall that led to our success. They were willing to do whatever it took and they worked together as a team in order to make this happen.”
them.” But with the loss of a couple of seniors who scored regularly on last year’s team, two new front runners were going to need to emerge from an unlikely source. Juniors Alex Campbell and John Fahey were part-time golfers who also star on the Cougar soccer team. Last season, neither Fahey or Campbell qualified for the state tournament. Panther thought they could benefit from traveling with the team, seeing the atmosphere and preparation that goes into such an event and maybe gain some experience for this season’s run. And it worked as Campbell, Fahey and Hampden-Sydney commit Alex Rubino, the other senior on the roster with Hackett, shined. The Cougars had some bumps along the road as they lost in a conference match to Marvin Ridge marking the first time the Mavs had ever beaten Charlotte Catholic. They finished fourth at a prestigious event in Durham featuring all of the previous year’s runners-up and state champions. “I think that’s when the kids started to realize we were always going to get everyone’s best shot,” Panther said. “Last year was fun. This year it was a little different being the hunted. When we showed up at a tournament, everyone noticed and we were the team everyone wanted to beat.” The Cougars entered the postseason on a mission. They ran away with the conference title, avenging their loss to Marvin Ridge. In the regionals, Heath was the 3A West medalist with a low round of 69. Hackett followed with a 70, Rubino shot a 74 and Mitchell Tanis carded a 75 to lead the Cougars
to a 16-shot win. Campbell shot a 77 and failed to score at the regional tournament, but he and Fahey were about to help lock up Catholic’s second title the following week. “You never know how kids are going to show up when it matters, but they played some of their best golf and gave us some separation there at the end,” Panther said. “To have those two kids ... show up under pressure and to play the way they did was the key.” At the state meet, Heath carded a 69 on the first day followed by Hackett (70), Campbell (75) and Fahey (77) as Catholic built a 13-shot Day 1 lead over runner-up Clayton. “Jack and Drew played their top two even, but we just had so much depth,” Panther said. “Alex Campbell and John Fahey beat Clayton’s 3 and 4 players by 22 shots and we won by 21. We played 10 rounds and we were the only school not to put anyone in the 80s. Every other school had at least three scoring rounds they had to take in the 80s and we didn’t have one player even shoot in the 80s the two days.” Hackett and Heath ended up tying for second place with two-day scores of 147. Campbell tied for seventh with a 151 and Fahey fired a 154, good for a tie for 15th. “To win two titles in the first 53 years of the school and now we’ve won two back-to-back is special. It’s a great program-builder and we’re definitely building something here,” Panther said. “Now that we’ve established ourselves and won two in a row, we’re going to have an even bigger target on us next year. I think the kids like it but we know we’ll have to keep after it.”
