Mike Says: The Eagles are a TOP 10 team this year. Last year they scored over 50 points per game outscoring their opponents by 20+ points. They should have no problems keeping up that success and reaching 10 wins for the 3rd consecutive season. The offense will be as good again this year behind offensive linemen John and Tom Lawless. Look for them to finish the season at 8-2 or 9-1 and come in second in the district behind Lexington. Once in the playoffs, they will be a contender in the region.

Chris Says: Rogers is set for another excellent year. There is a lot of speculation that they will knock Lexington out of the top spot this year in District 14-2A Division II. The season won't be a cakewalk, but they will be solid and the Eagles have a chance to still be alive three rounds deep in the playoffs this season.
