WOODLAWN — Virginia State Police, Carroll County deputies and rescue agencies assisted at the scene of a motor vehicle accident on Sept. 20 involving three juveniles.
According to State Trooper Charlie Delp, the youths were traveling on Coulson Church Road in a 2001 Chrysler Town & Country Cruiser, en route to a church meeting, when the driver took a curve too fast and lost control of the vehicle. “He overcorrected, came across the highway, went over the embankment on the left side of the highway and struck several trees,” Delp said.

Few onlookers, if any, believed Galax was out of it Monday night, trailing Carroll County two sets to none in their nondistrict volleyball rematch. Least of all the Cavaliers themselves, who had seen the Maroon Tide erase such a deficit en route to a five-set Galax win in Hillsville two weeks ago.

This time around, Carroll County never allowed Galax the chance to swing the momentum.

Having eked out a close win in set No. 2, the Cavaliers stormed away in the third and took a 25-16, 25-22, 25-13 win on the Tide’s home floor.
