Lost 'National Coach of the Year' Ring Returned to Springfield Hall of Fame Football Coach

The winningest football coach in Illinois history is putting another ring on his finger.

 

It's a ring that former Sacred Heart Griffin's coach Ken Leonard had while visiting his brother in Australia.

 

But on his way back, he noticed his 2006 National Coach of the Year ring in a Texas airport was missing. That was three years ago, but this week a woman in Texas found the ring in a Texas mall elevator. And the search was on...

 

 

Leonard said the woman posted a picture of the ring on a Springfield page, and one of his former players sent him the post. The six-time state champion said the woman mailed him the ring, and he gave her a monetary reward for her efforts.
