West Lincoln High Receives Major Donation for Athletics
The estate of Doug Leonhardt has pledged more than 100000 dollars to West Lincoln High over several years to honor Leonhardt by naming the football stadium. A school committee and county board approved the plan but funds will be used for smaller projects such as a gym sound system and a gym floor cover rather than large upgrades. Leonhardt, a former athlete at West Lincoln, died unexpectedly at 40.
