Coach Sherard Rogers is very familiar with NYC Metropolitan Area Basketball. He is from the Vailsburg Section of Newark, New Jersey. Coach has been with The Patrick School for two years.

Rogers has an abundance of experience walking the sideline. He was the Head JV Coach at Frederick Douglass High School in Lexington, Kentucky for 2 years. Coach Rogers was also a Varsity Assistant Coach at the same school. He also has 2 years under his belt as the Head JV Coach at Paris High School in Paris, Kentucky. To further explain his experience in developing high level players, it is best to also discuss his time at Dunbar High School in Lexington, Kentucky, where he spent 3 years holding the Head Coach title for the JV team.

Coach Rogers was a player for Saint Patrick’s High School before the turn of the century. He was on the Varsity team from 1994 to 1997, and he went on to continue his basketball career at Saint Benedict’s Prep. He also has played Junior College basketball at Cecil College, a powerhouse in the Northeastern Maryland area. He earned a Division I scholarship to Eastern Kentucky University during his time at Cecil College. At Eastern Kentucky University, Coach Rogers would play for Travis Ford and earn his Bachelor’s Degree in Arts and Sciences.

Coach Rogers’ coaching accomplishments do not come close to encompassing the breadth of the work he does in the community. Outside of basketball, he has held the responsibility of being the Head Director of Indianapolis, Indiana’s After-School Substance Abuse Program. This program was administered through Michelle Obama’s Public Allies AmeriCorp Program which was started in the 1990s. Public Allies is a national movement committed to advancing social justice and equity by engaging and activating the leadership of all people.

Coach’s favorite coaching memory is playing the role of Head Coach for Dunbar HS in the prestigious King of Bluegrass Kentucky Holiday Tournament.

The Patrick School community is looking forward to having Coach Rogers on staff.
