Classic article by the Chronicle about a Raymond legend!

FROM THE ARCHIVES (Jan. 27, 1972): If courage were money, Pat Rogers would be among the richest persons in the world.

Rogers, former Raymond High School cage standout, is a starter with the Washington State University Cougar basketball squad, which in itself puts him a cut above the average.

But Rogers had to have more than ability to make the Cougar squad this year, he had to have "guts."

In early September, Rogers was cleaning out a rock crusher conveyor belt while working for a construction firm sear Raymond. The stick he was using got caught in the belt and his arm was pulled into the machinery

Rogers was lucky to come away with his arm, which was saved by over 100 stitches for a gash and treatment for serious burns. He still may require additional operation this spring because the scar tissue is too thick and tightens around his arm.

Most athletes would probably have given up hope of ever doing much with the arm, but Rogers said he was sure he could play basketball as soon as his doctor told him there was no permanent damage.

When fall practice started, Rogers was barely able to move the limb, but by the time the season began, he was able to use it. Despite having no feeling in the fingers of his left hand and ignoring the pain that shot through his arm every time he stretched it, he played some in some three games, and became a starter in the fourth

The 6-0 guard says he was surprised to get to start.

He credits the arm with forcing him to work harder.

"It helped me more than it hurt me," he points out. "It still hurts when I have to stretch it, but it made me catch up with the other guys.”

Rogers is primarily a runner and his chief concerns are moving the ball down court and in to the scorers, but when he puts a shot in the air it is usually accurate

Rogers is second on the team in field accuracy with 33 of 74 in 14 games for 17.3 percent. Only Rick Rawlings, senior forward, has a better mark.

Rogers is averaging 6.4 tallies per contest on 89 total points.

He is also a team player, second only to Dan Steward in assists and Steward, 6-0 senior guard, has 32 more minutes of playing time under his belt.

Rogers' best scoring night was against Houston when he bucketed 14, but he feels his best contest was against New Mexico where he grabbed six caroms and scored seven points.

He also played an out-standing game last Saturday when he scored 12 points and grabbed five rebounds against Oregon State.

His favorite career contest was when the Raymond High School club defeated Elma High School for the state "A" title in 1970 with a 78-53 effort. He is also partial to the district title game of the same year when he piloted the Gulls to a 75-73 double overtime win over then top ranked Elma.

During his senior year, Rogers had a 13 point average.

He credits his older brother, Mike, with helping him most along the trail to cage success. Pat had to be good to beat his brother who played at Yakima Valley College after finishing a successful prep career.

Rogers feels his career in basketball after graduation will be in the coaching field. He doesn't plan on becoming a professional. He is a psychology major and plans to be a counselor as well as a coach.

Rogers' college coaches feel he is an excellent sophomore prospect.

"He is hard-nosed and has worked real hard to recover from his injury," a member of the coaching staff said. "He is a willing, hardworking kid."

Rogers view on college basketball is that "it is rough and takes a lot of time. It's especially hard during finals.z’ But he adds, "it's a lot of fun to get to travel and to play against strong competition, so it's worth it."

In Rogers' case that makes basketball worth quite a bit.

We are creeping closer to the start of fall sports, so we'd like to make a couple quick announcements to help streamline things this fall.

First, as most of you have hopefully heard, we will be combined with South Bend for all of our high school sports this year. Junior high sports will continue to be separate (other than football).

Because we will be combined for all high school sports, we have merged our FinalForms accounts for online registration. We decided to merge the accounts under South Bend's account, so all Raymond students who plan to participate in sports this year will need to register at www.southbend-wa.finalforms.com. Parents must register first. Once they have registered, the student-athlete can register. On the second page of the parent registration process, you will be asked to enter the proper school. This is where you can choose Raymond HS or JH.

Also, please make sure that your student-athlete has a current physical on file with the school. You can contact me at [email protected] to check on physical status if needed.

The start of fall sports will be a bit later than normal this year. HS football will start practice August 21st. All other fall sports for HS will start August 26th. Stay tuned for more information on an informational meeting for fall sports.

Go Ravens!
