GALAX, Va. (WFXR) – In a statement released through social media, Head Coach Shane Allen of the Galax Maroon Tide football with Galax High School, has announced his resignation after 8 years.
Shane Allen released a statement that said, “I want to thank all my coaches and players for the last 8 years at Galax High School. I have had some of my best football memories here. I know this last season didn’t go as well as we wanted it but, we faced a lot of adversity and we kept showing up and that makes me so proud.
However, with all that being said, it is with a heavy heart that I am announcing that I have resigned as the head football coach. Sometimes in life, you have to know when it is best to step away to work on things that are way important than the game you love. It is important to spend more time with my own daughter and family.
Thank you for all your hard work and time into making Galax football great.” – Shane Allen
