Rhinos “Win or Go Home” Quarter Final
The Atlanta Rhinos will travel to Deland, FL this weekend to face the Central Florida Warriors in a “Win or Go Home” Quarter Final.

Allen Cantrell out of this weekends lineup
Rhinos hard man Allen Cantrell had been a force since day one with the new Atlanta team. Not only in attack but also in defense, and he proved that by winning the “Biggest Hit” reward that was offered during their game against the Axemen.
However the latest medical news has forced Allen from the team and he underwent surgery this past week. Going into a tackle, he received a shoulder to his left lower orbital under the eye and nose. After receiving a CT scan, he was informed that he had sustained a fracture to his lower orbital and nose. The only repair was to have a titanium plate placed underneath his eye to fill the space created in the orbital from the fracture.
