Juvenile Court Judge Rob Philyaw today sent cases against two Ooltewah High basketball coaches and the athletic director to the Grand Jury after determining there was evidence to proceed on charges of not reporting child abuse. The men were charged after an alleged assault of an Ooletwah freshman during a basketball tournament. Philyaw said three other team members were victims as well. The three men will have to be booked at the County Jail within 30 days, The Chattanoogan reports. The three teens charged in the assault will appear in court next month.
