 MONMOUTH,
Ill. –
Monmouth College senior guard Blaise Rogers (Forest City,
Ill./Midwest Central) made certain everyone noticed his return to
the lineup and earned the Midwest Conference Performer of the Week
honor in men’s basketball.
Playing in just his third game after missing the first half of
the season with an injury, Rogers lit up the competition as the
Scots posted back-to-back conference wins. Last Tuesday, the senior
scored 13 points while hitting 4-of-8 shots from 3-point range as
the Scots held off Lake Forest 68-67 to post their first win of the
season. Saturday, Rogers was at it again, pouring in a game-high 25
points as the Scots handed Illinois College their first league loss,
70-67. He helped the Scots hold off the Blueboys, hitting 11-of-13
free throws, including a critical 3-for-4 performance in the final
30 seconds. For the week, Rogers averaged 19 points and 5.5 rebounds
per game.
A history major, Rogers is the son of Bobby and Becky Rogers of
Forest City.
