2022 OUTLOOK:
“Rogers returns a lot of offense from their 2021 State Tournament team, but will be looking to replace nearly 100 innings pitched from graduated seniors. If the Royals can get effective pitching from their Varsity newcomers, they should again be in the mix to compete in the NWSC and Section 8AAAA.”
Brian Harapat, Rogers head coach
