CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – On Thursday, Clarksville Christian School senior Niah Rhodes signed to play basketball at Florida A&M University.
“I have had the privilege to watch Niah play for 2 years, and she is an awesome young lady to coach on and off the court,” said Lady Centurions head coach Trenton Hassell. “She’s a hard worker and will give you everything! She has worked hard to earn this opportunity to play ball and continue her education at the D1 level! Niah and her family have sacrificed so much for her to be here and prepare for college ball, and CCS is blessed to have them as part of our family! FAMU is getting a special young lady and family.”
