The Louise Hornets are searching for a new athletic director after Manny Freeland stepped down last week. Freeland had been with the district since ’22, starting as the football team’s offensive coordinator. In his two seasons as head coach, he led the Hornets to a 10-12 record and back-to-back playoff appearances. Freeland leaves a legacy of improving the team’s morale, facilities, and equipment. He says his proudest achievement was teaching athletes resilience. This resignation follows another earlier this month, as Wharton’s athletic director also stepped down.
