Our Centennial Football program is devastated with the death of Coach Rogers, as he was known by the players, coaches and parents. He had a contagious vibrant spirit about him. His hearty laugh could be heard from across a room…and would bring a smile to the face of anyone that heard it. He was a wonderful teacher, coach, mentor and friend. He will be greatly missed.
