STOKESDALE town council
July 8 / MEETING HIGHLIGHTS as reported by PATTI STOKES After Mayor John Flynt called the monthly meeting to order, which opened with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, the council unanimously voted to pass a resolution in support of NC State’s 2021 baseball team being “the nation’s best college baseball team for the 2021 season.” The resolution stated the team was “victorious against the three best pitchers in the country in three consecutive games as part of their journey to the College World Series,” but in a heartbreaking decision, the NCAA eliminated the team from the National Semifinals after some members tested positive for COVID. The meeting agenda was unanimously approved after adding a report from Stokesdale Fire Department.
