sixcat 2,913 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Long time Galax basketball coach Verl Brown announced his retirement after Galax lost the Region 1C quarterfinal to Parry McClure. I didn't attend Galax schools so, I didn't have the pleasure of playing for him. My brother and I competed against him and always respected his leadership and dedication to his kids. And make no mistake, each and every kid that has came through the Galax school system over the past 35 years are his kids! He has devoted his life to making this community a better place for all of us. I can only hope he remains a fixture and enjoys his retirement! Thanks coach! 1inStripes and Deleted Account 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 You hate to see someone walk away who has meant so much to a community. It sounds like the retirement is well deserved and I hope he enjoys every moment of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcat 2,913 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Worst kept "secret" in Virginia! Mark Dixon has officially been named boys head varsity basketball coach at Galax. Many, many other changes "officially" announced as well. Not the least of which, a new principal and assistant principal at all three schools! We're hopeful things will improve with new leadership but fear the wrong leaders are being replaced. Discipline has been a major issue in recent years, especially at the high school. The most recent elections were a glaring mandate on city council to effect change within the school system. We shall see if the first wave of changes are effective!
