CHARLOTTE - The West Charlotte High football team will forfeit its 2007 season and two more coaches have been suspended as a result of an investigation into the use of false addresses by ineligible players.

The school must sacrifice its 13 wins from a season that ended in the state semifinals. West Charlotte also must return more than $16,000 in ticket sales and pay a $250 fine.

One player obtained a false address with help from one or two coaches, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Superintendent Peter Gorman said Tuesday. Another player's family, who listed a false address, acted independently.

Both players left Olympic High for West Charlotte before the 2007 season -- the same time their head coach switched schools.

The coach, Maurice Flowers, and assistant Hazel Richardson submitted resignations last week that will take effect Feb. 29. Two other assistants -- Anthony Sterling and Jeff Caldwell -- were suspended Monday for two weeks without pay, Gorman said. Gorman has not decided if they can coach in 2008.

Gorman said several players from other schools participated in "skill development sessions" last spring, a violation of state and local recruiting rules.

School athletic director Masanori Toguchi will not be punished, even though one of the ineligible players listed an address that belonged to Toguchi's in-laws.

Gorman said he understands some people will be dubious. But he said the investigators believe Toguchi did not know his wife's grandmother owned the property the player listed as his address. And CMS believes Toguchi performed "reasonable scrutiny."

CMS has previously said the player's eligibility was difficult to detect because his family provided several documents to show he lives in the West Charlotte attendance zone. Normally, CMS requires only one.

Toguchi, who had been suspended with pay since Dec. 3, will resume his duties today. He did not work for the school at the time of the spring practices, Gorman said.

Tuesday's announcement concludes an 11-week investigation by CMS that marked the most serious violation in an athletic eligibility scandal that began in November. The school will be placed on probation for the 2008 season. The team can participate in the playoffs, Gorman said, but the roster will be checked more thoroughly.

"What was reasonable scrutiny this year might not be reasonable scrutiny next year," Gorman said.
