Congratulations.  I have known Coach Rogers for over 20 years. He obviously is an exceptional coach and as I have learned over the years, he is a good man that has done alot for the youth in his area. Big accomplishment coming from a small town like Clarkrange. Something to be proud of. Hope you have many more wins Coach Rogers. Good luck this season.

Congrats to Coach!  He has influenced a lot of lives in a positive way while winning all those games!  Great man and coach!  Good luck the rest of the season!  He may just cap it off with a gold ball!

He is a great coach and has had some really good teams. Him and Jackson County has wore it out!! Clarkrange is always tough and wouldn't suprise me at all if they did win the Gold Ball.

I have watched him coach many many times.  Love the passion his teams bring.   As of now I think he is #4 in the all time wins list in the nation.  He may not make it to #1 since he is 200 wins away and there is one person ahead of him that is still coaching but he is definitely one of the greatest girls basketball coaches of my generation.  Congrats to coach on your amazing achievements.   Maybe you can get gold ball #9 soon.

I remember when he first started winning State Championships. I remember trying to tune my radio to Clarkrange games in the mid 80's when they had some EPIC  battles with Rickman. There was a stretch there where it seemed like every single game was a one point battle at the end of regulation.

Conrats to him.

Congratulations and I bet if Coach Rogers breaks the record tonight at Pickett County he will get a standing ovation from ALL the fans. While I hope it is Coach Roger's next game after Pickett Co that he breaks the record, we all respect this accomplishment that no one else has ever done. Also, Coach Roger's helped to make District 7A, now 6A the best in the state over the decades.

I am at the game. No standing ovation or clapping except on the Clarkrange side. Just boos and screaming get off the floor. Guess ALL are not respectful of his accomplishment. Congrats to Coach Rogers!!! Clarkrange LOVES you and we are so very proud of you!!!

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
