BUCKETS FROM THE BACKROADS (SW VA & East TENN)

Welcome to the 276/423 area!  SW VA & East Tenn!

This is where basketball and the backroads of the mountains converge!

My name is Shannon Boy & I am from Gate City, Virginia…a small mountain town of just over 2000 people. 

I'm a husband to a beautiful wife & dad to 2 beautiful daughters. 

From 1995-2000 & 2022-26, I worked as a basketball coach at Twin Springs HS.  From 2000-21 & now beginning in the fall of 2026, I will be working as the JV coach for the Blue Devils boys basketball team @ Gate City HS. 

In my first 21 years @ Gate City, I came up with an idea for a YT channel. My idea? To preserve the history of our program (and TSHS) so that former players could show their kids what is was like when they played. 

It has now evolved into a channel that spotlights the many great programs & athletes who have come through our region in the past & helps preserves their traditions going forward. 

Hope you enjoy the channel!
