Davie County Senior Services hosted its first cornhole league at the Brock Recreation Center Jan. 10-Feb. 3.

A total of 30 participants made up 14 teams and competed against each other on Fridays. The final week was a chance for players to demonstrate their best skills during double-elimination playoffs.

After close standings during the four weeks, Barbara Chapman and Peggy Evans were named the cornhole champions. Steve Evans and Alan Bailey came in second place, and Roger Hall and Diana Bromley finished in third.

Participants enjoyed the friendly competition, but described the most important part of the league as a great source of fun and fellowship on Friday mornings.

Cornhole is a sanctioned event of Davie County Senior Games and will be offered during the local games in April and May. For those interested in participating in the 2017 Davie County Senior Games, a Senior Games Open House will be held on Friday, Feb. 17 from 10:30 a.m.-noon at Davie County Senior Services. Registration forms will be available starting Feb. 17. Contact Jessica Pollard at 336-753-6230 for more information.
