Knoch wrestling coach reinstated after allegations disputed

Knoch girls wrestling coach Logan Downes was reinstated Wednesday, just one week following his firing.

Downes was let go after an incident at a wrestling tournament in which he appeared to have given a couple of wrestlers on his team taps on the buttocks after they won their bouts.

But the firing was criticized throughout the Knoch community, including by the parents of the girls, due to a perceived misinterpretation and lack of transparency.

Downes was reinstated after the board met with him Wednesday before its board meeting, and expressed their expectations moving forward.
