Richlands is at home taking on the 2018 state champion G-Men. Can anyone provide a radio link or maybe post updates?

Not havin 7 hold back kids really hurts them this year.

Way below average coach is the biggest problem I’m hearing!! They won’t make any noise this year.

105.5 fm 33-18 Graham

Wasn’t Havok’s fault a s w district a d told his friend the system but not the entirety. Mountain 7 is 1-4 top (Abingdon is 3A and as such goes to their region off points) Grayson county boys and girls play in Mountain empire tournament and district reg season. They have to be eligible to contend for a Region. When southwest season is over they will use a point system. The afore mentioned. 1,2,3,4,5 for loss going a aa aaa aaaa aaaaa. And for wins 3, 6,9,12,15 for wins.... divide the total number at end (presently believed to count Mountain empire and s w district tournament if you get a bye you get +6 (if it’s 2A) ) Grayson has only lost to Radford and George Whythe. They beat 4A Carrol County for 24 points (equivelant of 4 2A wins) but lose a lot of points with a lot of 3 A point wins and one 1 point for single A loss to G dub.... Graham has S W1 locked then you have Marion, Lebanon, Richlands competing, one of those teams will lose a spot to Grayson due to out pointing them. SW 4 at Gate City M7 1 SW 3 at M7 2 (Union?) M7 3 ( battle? central? ) at S w2 m7 4 (central battle?) at Graham then you go to Wise for semis and finals I believe ?

Graham girls picked up their 3rd win of the year against Richlands

Many apologies for resurrecting an old thread. I was searching for something else and stumbled across this gem. A few things come to mind when reading through the original post and responses. Bobby Dodd moved away from the Galax area at a very young age so, I wouldn't expect many to remember his time here. It wouldn't be unrealistic to think something in the line of "birthplace of Bobby Dodd" should be located somewhere in town though. The larger issue for me would be Tim Beamer. He isn't mentioned anywhere around town and doesn't appear on the Galax Wikipedia page. Even Bobby Dodd is listed on the Wikipedia page. Beamer doesn't even have a plaque, picture, trophy or mention in any of the high school trophy cases after playing his entire high school career for Galax. Beamer was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 1971 from the University of Illinois and spent nearly a decade between the NFL and CFL. I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Beamer a few years ago. He told me how things were different back then and he isn't surprised at his local anonymity. He went on to tell me Galax held prom and homecoming at the old Galax Country Club, which had a strict "Caucasian only" policy, which forbade Beamer and many others from attending. Seems a bit petty now. You would think, those errors in judgement would have been rectified so many years later.

Bears take it to Falcons, winning by ~20. Lady Bears fall in a tight game where Union led for long stretches.
