Holtville coach Torey Baird hopes to lead the Bulldogs into the state quarterfinals for the second straight season.

The short yet successful Torey Baird era is now over for the Holtville baseball program. After three seasons, Baird confirmed he has handed in a letter of resignation which is expected to be announced at the Elmore County Board of Education meeting Tuesday along with the county’s other personnel changes.

During his three years in charge of the Bulldogs, Baird led the team to a 55-26 record. In his first season, Holtville went to the third round of the postseason and Baird was named the Elmore County Coach of the Year.
