Interesting stuff BR, thanks.  I didn't realize Mark Dixon was already on top of the wins list for Galax but I shouldn't be surprised.  Galax didn't make the playoffs once for the first 60+ years of the program and only have 5 playoff appearances prior to Dixon's arrival.  They haven'y missed the playoffs once in Dixon's tenure.

 

1920-1984 = 0 playoff appearances

1985-2009 = 5 playoff appearances and 2 postseason wins

2010-2015 = 6 playoff appearances, 15 postseason wins, 2 state championship appearances, 1 state title

 

Coaching matters!

 

Credit to Craig Worrell of the Galax Gazette for the information.  He puts out a football preview every fall and it is phenomenal.

Craig's is great, Bristol Herald does a great job also, Roanoke times pretty good

 

I really liked when the BHC released a single edition football preview instead of spreading it out over two weeks of papers.  Oh well, guess subscriptions declining and papers bought at newsstand declining/higher website traffic increasing will cause you to do that.

Stephen James 65-37, had a lot of rebuilding to do-started out 10-20 his first 3 years.

I noticed that as well.  Without question, the best football coach the Fort has had and he will do a great job in Pulaski.

Yes they do! They also let me in the office to go through all the old papers that they had bound in books. Unfortunately none before WWII hence the limited information on Galax back that far.
