Rhoades leaving SA

BERNE — Just a week after hiring a new boys basketball coach, South Adams High School is looking for an athletics director.

Steve Rhoades, who has been at South Adams for five years, was hired Monday by the Garrett-Keyser-Butler School Board as the Garrett High School athletics director. His resignation from South Adams, where he was the AD for high school as well as junior high programs, is effective immediately.

Rhoades was hired for the South Adams job in 2001, replacing 13-year veteran AD John Phillips.[[In-content Ad]]
