Kelvin Hopkins was quarterbacking the Charlotte Independence Patriots’ junior varsity team in a game versus Matthews Butler last Thursday night…He then moved up full time to the Independence varsity team, for their Friday evening game against Butler and proceeded to throw for over 200 yards….The 15-year old sophomore was on his way and after coming in as a reserve last Friday, he will now move in and be the starter, as the Northwest Guilford Vikings come into Charlotte for Round One of the NCHSAA 4-AA football playoffs…
That is one sidenote going into the game to keep an eye on and another one to keep in mind is, that this could be the last game for the Patriots’ head coach Bill Geiler….He plans to step down and retire at the end of this 2012 season….
A couple of interesting notes to keep in mind, going into this game….
