Holsey takes over Chargers football program

Leonard Holsey has been hired to coach the Wittenberg-Birnamwood High School varsity football team this season, moving up after spending a season as an assistant coach under former coach Aaron Doll. Holsey, a Duke University graduate, played in the NFL for the New York Giants, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots and Washington Redskins. After football, he coached for a number of programs, including Shawano Community High School and Menominee Indian High School. “I am determined to bring back the contagious habit of winning to this football program,” Holsey said. Holsey will be on hand at WBHS’s athlete/parent meeting Aug. 5. Doll coached the Chargers the last three seasons, compiling a 7-20 record and going 1-8 last year, 0-7 in the Central Wisconsin Conference-8. His best season was in 2011, when the Chargers were 4-5 overall and 3-4 in the CWC-8.
