Varina Notes: The Latest on Rhodes, Juniors

As Varina (VA) heads into its regular season finale tomorrow night, star senior defensive tackle recruit DeAntre Rhodes continues to keep quiet on his recruitment. There has been at least one new development in this recruitment, as the 6-3, 280-pound prospect recently scored another Division 1A offer.
