Updating Knotts' status at Independence
The Charlotte Observer is reporting today that Independence football coach Tom Knotts will not face charges of simple assault against the relative of a Patriots JV player stemming from a postgame altercation last Thursday night.
But it is unclear at this time whether his suspension with pay from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system will be lifted in time for the architect of the seven-time state champions to be on the sideline Friday night at Page when Independence visits for a first-round 4-AA playoff game.
Stay tuned.
