01 Feb 2025 James Rodgers – Mount Vernon-Enola (501 Basketball Team 2025)
James Rodgers is the definition of dependability for Mt. Vernon-Enola.
No matter what he’s asked to do on the court, his coaching staff and teammates know they can trust him to get the job done.

A well-rounded shooter brimming with defensive energy, Rodgers is a catalyst who can turn up the intensity for the Warhawks at a moment’s notice.
“From knocking down shots to handling the ball or guarding the best player on the other team, I expect James to be a leader who can do a variety of things for our team,” Mt. Vernon-Enola Head Coach Drew Blocker said.
Determined to lead his team to new heights, Rodgers isn’t one to back down from a challenge.
“I would like for us to make the state tournament,” he said. “We will have to play as hard as we can during the season and play well in the district and regional tournaments.”
A multi-sport athlete who also plays baseball, runs cross country and track and field, Rodgers is a member of Future Business Leaders of America, FFA, Jesus Uniting Students Together and Project Prevent Youth Coalition. After high school, he plans to major in biology at the University of Central Arkansas.
“Any coach is fortunate to have a player like James,” Blocker said. “He brings great things to the floor, but is an even better person off the floor. You never have to worry about his grades, attitude or effort. He has great character and it shows in all that he does.”
