Brevard College’s head baseball coach and athletic director Gill Payne has resigned to take over as head baseball coach at Elizabethton High School in Elizabethton, Tenn.

“We wish him well and appreciate the job he’s done for the college,” said Brevard College President Drew Van Horn.

Brevard College’s baseball program has enjoyed success under Payne’s leadership. He led squads to numerous post-season accolades including an Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) regular season championship, three AAC tournament championship titles, and a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Region XII championship.

The college has already begun the search for Payne’s replacement.
