Independence - Madison Game Cancelled Due To Weather Concerns


Charlotte's Independence High's road football game against Florida power Madison County on Friday has been cancelled because of potential bad weather from Tropical Storm Hanna.

Patriots coach Tom Knotts said he was told by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools officials that they didn't want Independence traveling in unstable conditions. Madison County is about 45 miles east of Tallahassee. The Cowboys are Florida's reigning 2A champion.
It would have been the second straight season with an out-of-state trip for Independence, which won seven straight N.C. championships before losing in last season's N.C. 4AA final. The Patriots' 109-game winning streak was snapped by Elder (Ohio) High in Cincinnati last September.
