  • Maroon Tide blanks Bears

    The Galax girls’ soccer team lists but one senior on its roster. But the Maroon Tide can now list three wins on its résumé.

    Unperturbed by a series of near-misses in the early going that a more seasoned club may have been able to convert, Galax took a 1-0 lead into the half and pulled away in the final 40 minutes to shut out Bland County 3-0 in a Mountain Empire District match Monday afternoon.

  • Cavaliers drop Cougars 3-2

    HILLSVILLE –– Senior night is normally observed on the final home date of the season. Though Carroll County’s girls’ soccer team still has two home matches remaining, the Cavaliers’ 10 seniors – and some key underclassmen – made sure Tuesday that their time on friendly soil would extend at least one more game.

    Carroll County held off Pulaski County 3-2 in a River Ridge District match at Tommy Thompson Field, all but solidifying a home game in the first round of the Conference 24 tournament.

    HILLSVILLE – Carroll County’s Sidney Nester has already built herself a reputation of being one of the best softball pitchers in the state.

    Friday, the junior fireballer turned in a brilliant performance in a doubleheader against Patrick Henry-Roanoke in leading her team to a two-game sweep, 7-0 in the first game and 9-0 in the second game.

  • Dixon to stay, grass to go

    When Galax football coach Mark Dixon submitted his resignation several weeks ago to pursue the chance to coach in college, he didn’t entirely rule out returning to the high school ranks some day. That day turned out to be Tuesday.

    After several interviews at programs all across the spectrum of college divisions, including one as recently as early this week, Dixon concluded that the little single-A high school in Southwest Virginia is where he belongs.

  • Taking it to the next level

    Family is what brought Mark Dixon to Galax. Family is the main reason he knows that it’s okay – even necessary – that he should move on.

    Dixon resigned as Galax High School’s head football coach early this week after leading the program to unprecedented heights over the past seven seasons. He is leaving to pursue the chance to coach in the college ranks even though, ironically, a man whose success was driven by equal parts fear and preparation is taking a job at the University of TBA.
