Airline baseball coach Toby Todd reached an elite coaching milestone last week when the Vikings beat Byrd to give him his 500th career victory.
They celebrated Saturday with extra pleasure, as Todd was recognized for his 500th after picking up his 503rd in a 5-2 homefield victory over last year’s Non-Select Division II state champion, North DeSoto.
Todd has been in coaching for 38 years. He’s been Airline’s head coach for the last 25, since 2002, and was also a head coach in 1994 at Woodlawn.
The Vikings are in second in the District 1-5A standings with a 14-10 overall mark and a 7-2 record in district.
Their win over the Griffins halted an eight-game win streak by North DeSoto (20-6).
