Longtime Bolsa Grande Coach Resigns

Vern Nelson, Bolsa Grande baseball coach, said Sunday he has told school officials that he is resigning. Nelson coached 21 seasons at Bolsa Grande, compiling a 233-242-6 record.

This past season he guided the Matadors to a 19-6 overall record and second place in the Garden Grove League. Bolsa Grande won a first-round Southern Section playoff game against Playa del Rey St. Bernard, 4-3, but was eliminated in the second round by Covina South Hills, 8-4. Nelson will continue to teach at the school.
