Coach Moore's Take: "She is an athletic power forward who runs the floor and attacks the rim. Relentless on the offensive boards, she also looks to make plays on defense. She put up big numbers in the 2014 state championship win at Reynolds Coliseum: 25 points and 20 rebounds. Hopefully that is a sign of things to come!"
Personal: Full name is Rydeiah Rogers ... A second generation college athlete; her father Rodney played basketball at Wake Forest and later in the NBA from 1993-2005.
