Freedom’s Rogers will coach in 2018 East-West Game – Morganton News Herald

GREENSBORO The North Carolina Coaches Association over the weekend announced the East-West All-Star Game coaches for football as well as mens and womens basketball and mens and womens soccer in July 2018.

Freedoms Casey Rogers will serve as West head coach in boys basketball. He will be assisted by Brian Carver of Enka.

Rogers, 37, earned his second N.C. Basketball Coaches Association (NCBCA) District 10 coach of the year honor last season after guiding the Patriots to the NCHSAA 3A West Regionals for the third time in the last four years. Last year, Freedom won 28 games, tied for third-most in program history, despite graduating its top two scorers and starting three underclassmen for much of the year.

Rogers is also a four-time conference coach of the year and was both AP and NCBCA state coach of the year in 2013-14 when he led Freedom to its third state championship.

Rogers, who also enters his sixth year as FHS athletic director, has compiled a 232-79 record in 11 seasons, having led the Patriots to both conference regular-season and tournament titles in three of the last six years.

Other notable 2018 West coaches include Hickorys Barbara Helms (womens basketball, assistant) and Shelbys Lance Ware (football, assistant).
