It’ll be a couple years before he gets to a high school near you, but Travonis Hodge will be worth the wait.

The Maryville Rebs running back scored on runs of 70 and 45 yards as the Rebs bested Alcoa, 20-6, in the final game of the Parks & Rec Midgets youth football jamboree last Saturday at Alcoa High School.

You’ve probably heard of Hodge’s cousin, former Alcoa Tornado and Kentucky Wildcat Randall Cobb, who now catches passes and returns kicks for the Green Bay Packers.
