Rogers, who graduated from Wentzville High School in 1995, played basketball for two years at Jefferson College with her twin sister, Jennifer, before both transferred to Central Methodist to finish their careers from 1998-2000. Rogers was a standout player for the Central Methodist women’s basketball team that made back-to-back appearances at the NAIA Division II National Tournament in 1999 and 2000, including the 1999 Final Four team.
During her two-year career at Central Methodist, Rogers set four school records. She holds the records for single-game rebounds (25 vs. Missouri Valley College on Dec. 1, 1999), as well as single-season rebounds (540 in 1999-2000). Rogers’ 540 single-season rebounds in 1999-2000 also still stands as the NAIA Division II national record for that category. She also holds the CMU record for the highest rebounds per game average with 14.6 in 1999-2000. Rogers’ fourth school record, of 14 made free throws in a game, was broken last season.
After earning honorable mention All-HAAC honors in 1998-99, Rogers was recognized as a first-team All-HAAC honoree in 1999-2000. During her senior season, Rogers also received NAIA National Player-of-the-Week honors and was a first-team NAIA Division II All-American.
Rogers graduated from Central Methodist with a bachelor’s in business administration in 2000 and later received her Master of Education degree from Central Methodist. She currently resides in San Antonio, Texas, with her two children, Kannon and Jade, where Rogers is a high school teacher and coach.
