Lakeland Union High School boys' basketball coach Ted Voigt announced his retirement after meeting with current players Wednesday.
Voigt has spent the past 38 years as Lakeland's head coach after a playing career of four years at the University of Wisconsin and serving for five years as an assistant coach for both UW-Eau Claire and UW-Madison.
Though no formal letter of resignation is on file at the school, Voigt confirmed Thursday his intent to retire from the game to which he's given so much.
Voigt said he cemented his decision after a recent trip to visit his two sons in Milwaukee.
"It was a combination of things," Voigt said. "Last weekend, we went to visit our two sons and their families down in Milwaukee. They have two boys and a little girl [ages] six, two-and-a-half and seven months. It has always been our plan to spend time with our grandchildren. We don't want them passing us by."
