Cherryville recognizes student 'Power Players'; city completes phase 2 of tree-planting program
Summary
City recognized high-school athletes — Emily Allen (volleyball MVP), a top-ranked wrestler (identified as Caleb with inconsistent surname in the transcript), and Morgan Ray (tennis) — and the mayor announced Phase 2 of the cherry tree planting (82 trees), upcoming parade on Dec. 14, and progress at the Larry and Carolyn Summer Recreation Complex.
At the meeting, the council paused regular business to host Cherryville High School’s 'Power Players' recognitions. Coaches and school representatives honored Emily Allen as the volleyball team’s most valuable player, highlighting season statistics and her role as team captain. A wrestling honoree was introduced and described as a 144-pound starter, ranked in the top three in the region and serving as a team captain; the transcript contains inconsistent surname spellings for that honoree. Coach Scholl (and other coaches) recognized Morgan Ray for leading the women's tennis team at the No. 1 position and for earning all-conference honors.
Mayor (Speaker 1) also used the mayor’s comments to highlight community events: the Blue Veil event’s success with thanks to Mary Beth Tackett, the Chamber of Commerce and volunteers; completion of Phase 2 of the cherry tree planting program with 82 trees planted across City Park, around City Hall and along 1st Street and Cherryville Plaza; and a city employee Christmas luncheon scheduled for Dec. 19. The mayor reminded citizens of the annual Christmas parade on Saturday, Dec. 14 at 10:30 a.m. and reported progress on the Larry and Carolyn Summer Recreation Complex (gym floor and playground work ongoing).
The council and public shared applause and thanks to student honorees and volunteers; no formal action was taken on these recognitions.
