THE SCOOP There's plenty of excitement at Rogers under coach Lamont Frazier, the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Coach of the Year for Division I after leading the Mounties to a 21-7 record. .... Rogers made the state tournament for the first time since the 2012-2013 season. ... The Mounties return a core group of seniors that includes all-state player Drew Miller, all-conference selection Derek Hobbs, and Elliot Pascal, a standout defensive player. ... Frazier said the success of this year's team will depend on the players' abilities to maintain sharp focus from day-to-day as well as from practices to games.
