The annual trek to Wake Forest to support its girls basketball team at state has become a new tradition for the Cherokee tribal community. They once again had plenty to cheer for at The Joel as Rogers paved the way to a third consecutive state championship for the Braves. Rogers led the way with 25 points in the more than 26 minutes she was on the court. She also came away with Kay Yow Most Valuable Player recognition. Rogers tallied 18 points in the first quarter alone – including four 3-pointers in the first eight minutes. She scored more points in the first eight minutes than its adversaries from Pamlico County tallied for the game.
