W-L Star Heading to SoCal — “After a year of silence regarding his recruitment, Arlington (Va.) Washington-Liberty three-star defensive lineman Elijah Hughes committed to USC Saturday… Hughes ultimately commit to USC over Virginia Tech, but also had scholarship offers from Stanford, Duke, Maryland, Miami and Virginia. He is rated Virginia’s No. 16 player overall and he No. 69 defensive lineman nationally.” [247Sports, Twitter]

Bittersweet Dog Rescue Story — From the Animal Welfare League of Arlington: “Because of your amazing response and generosity, Charlie Brown was given a chance and all the care he needed. Many other facilities do not have the resources or support to have even been able to give Charlie Brown that chance. And instead of being outside in a freezing rain storm, Charlie Brown was cuddled up in a warm bed, with pain medications, surrounded by love.” [Facebook]

TikTok Banned By State Gov’t — “Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin banned the use of several Chinese-owned apps, including TikTok and WeChat, on state government devices and wireless networks on Friday, calling them a threat to national security.
