Here are the top three stories today in Mooresville:

1. According to WGHPFox8 Greensboro, "Mooresville parents Ashley Dale Jordan, 29, of Mooresville, and Casey Aaron Jordan, 31, of Mooresville, were both charged with felony child abuse involving serious injury and possession of drug paraphernalia. Both parents were placed in the Iredell County Detention Center under secure bonds, which they both posted, and were released from custody. [The charges came] following the drug overdose of their one-year-old infant, authorities said. The incident began at 4:24 p.m. Monday, Nov. 14, at a residence located along Parker Avenue. Emergency personnel [were] called to the home for an unresponsive baby. Iredell County EMS and Mooresville Fire-Rescue responded and informed officers at the scene that the infant was showing signs of a suspected drug overdose. The one-year-old was given a dose of Narcan at the home and showed slight signs of improvement, police said. The baby was then rushed to Lake Norman Regional Medical Center where they got a second dose of Narcan before their condition was stabilized. Police said the baby was then taken to Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem for further treatment. The North Carolina Dept. of Social Services was contacted and took protective custody of the baby."

2. Mooresville’s Cailynn Winford will be headlining this year’s R&L All-County Girls Golf Team. According to Statesville.com, "The senior has been named the county player of the year. Winford carded a 68 during the 4A Western Regional at Stonebridge Golf Club in Monroe to finish third overall. She was just one shot out of first place. By virtue of her performance at regionals, Winford advanced to the 4A state tournament in late October. She recorded a pair of 81s on Pinehurst No.6 to finish tied for 20th. Winford finished 11 strokes clear of the runner-up to capture the Greater Metro Conference championship and was named the league’s golfer of the year for the second time in three seasons." Congratulation Cailynn. (Statesville.com)
