    Conflict of interest - Shaq owns many Five Guys restaurants. 
     

    if you want a wild rabbit hole to go down, google what all companies Shaquille O’Neal has ownership in. It includes The General & Brooks Brothers, as well as the rights to Marilyn Monroe’s likeness, plus countless other things you probably wouldn’t expect.

    They also say he owned part of The Cricket in Pocahontas before its demolition.

    Gotta be Wise on this one.  Walmart and Mexican and Asia Cafe within a 2 minute drive.  

    The Lebanese Walmart is tremendous with a great Mexican restaurant in the same shopping center and the Tokyo is tough to beat.

    I think the kicker here is that their Bonanza is still thriving while the Wise one is not.

    Shane Allen took over as head coach at Galax in 2020/2021 Covid shortened season. 
     

    2020 = 9-1 -state runner-up
    2021 = 11-3 - state runner-up
    2022 = 7-4 - 2nd round of playoffs
    2023 = 11-4 - state championship 

    His record at Galax is 38-12, a 76% winning percentage. 
     

    At Tazewell, Shane was 15-37 in 5 seasons. 
     

    2012 = 2-9
    2013 = 2-8
    2014 = 5-6
    2015 = 4-6
    2016 = 2-8

    53-49 overall record with a state championship and two state runners-up. Sort-of a chicken and egg situation if you ask me. Was he a good coach all along or did he become a good coach working under Mark Dixon for 3 years?

    I will say this, Dixon told me himself, the Galax defense between 2017-2019 was entirely Shane’s. Dixon had very little input. 

    So you're saying that Tazewell is the problem...

  4. I really think the Beaver/Graham game tonight when it's all said and done will help both teams. 

    Graham is young and talented but tonight's win shows them that they have some great potential. 

    For Bluefield, I think this loss, right before a holiday break, will stew in them and show that they are beatable if they do not bring it for 32 minutes. 

    Great job both teams, it was fun to be there, the 10th of January should be good as well.
