    Bluefield Daily Telegraph


    BLUEFIELD — It felt more like March than May, but it didn’t seem to bother the Maroon Tide.

    Caleb Spurlin had four hits, drove in five runs and scored three more, and Logan Beamer threw a no-hitter in the second game, and Nick Davis scattered five hits in the opener, leading Galax to a Mountain Empire District sweep over Graham 4-2 and 6-0 on a cold and windy Friday evening at Graham Middle School.

    With footwork like that, using one’s hands would only gum up the process.

    A fast break goal that would have made Roy Williams proud gave Galax a 2-0 lead nine minutes in and the Maroon Tide held off Graham 3-1 in a critical Mountain Empire District soccer match Thursday at Galax High School.

    Galax upped its overall record to 11-0 with the win and is now 4-0 in district play after clearing the big hurdle provided by the G-Men.

  • Readers' Hotline 5/6/13

    Still owes
    I want to let the people of Galax know that evidently they don’t need their tax money. I went down there with checkbook in hand ready to pay my taxes the other day because I had been behind. I owed 2011 and 2012 and I tried to pay them and that woman said, no, I had to go through a collection agency to pay them. Well, I am not going through a collection agency to pay them so they can just do without, I guess. I guess they will do fine without me.
