SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WAND) -- He's an Illinois high school football legend.
Sacred Heart-Griffin Head Coach Ken Leonard has over 400 football wins, the most in IHSA history, and today announced that he'll retire at the end of the year.
Leonard made sure to mention, he'll still be coaching the Cyclones this fall!
Leonard started his coaching career back in 1980 with Gridley. In 1984, he started coaching SHG and has led the Cyclones to five state championships.
But despite all his success, he says the sport doesn't define him.
