nMark Hairston, Patrick Henry High School's baseball coach for four seasons, has submitted his resignation effective at the end of the school year.
Hairston cited several personal reasons for making the decision, but he will remain as a teacher of physical education at Patrick Henry.
Hairston, a native of Brooklyn and a graduate of West Virginia State where he played baseball and basketball, was unable to make the PH program competitive for the top spot in the Roanoke Valley District. However, it was his decision to resign and he says he had no problems with members of the team.
This year, PH was 3-13 overall and 3-7 in the district with two games remaining on the schedule.
nIn Greenville, S.C., eighth-seeded Maryland scored seven runs in its final two innings to beat ninth-seeded Virginia, 8-2 in the play-in game of the annual Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.
The loss ends Virginia's season at 20-34. The Cavaliers won just two of 25 games against ACC competition this season and lost all four of their meetings with Maryland.
