Hall of Fame
Nearly 20 years since he concluded his Northwest playing career, former Ranger guard Jason Rogan's mark on the record books still stands today.
A native of Portland, Tenn., Rogan averaged 27 points per game as a senior at Portland High School and helped lead the Panthers to the region semifinals, while receiving all-district and all-state honors. He also earned Mid-State and district Player of the Year honors while also being selected to the Nashville area's Super Five team.
Playing under coach Bubba Skelton from 2000-02, Rogan immediately became a part of the Rangers' starting five as a freshman and helped guide Northwest to national prominence during the 2000-01 season. That year, Northwest finished 27-7 overall, winning North Division, MACJC and NJCAA Region 23 championships before finishing eighth overall in the 2001 NJCAA National Tournament. The success was due in part to Rogan's stats, where he averaged 19.8 points, 6.1 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game, earning First Team All-MACJC and third team NJCAA All-American honors.
Although Northwest was unable to fully replicate that run in the 2001-02 campaign, Rogan helped Northwest to the postseason once again with an 18-9 overall record and a trip to the NJCAA Region 23 Tournament.Â
Perhaps the biggest moment of his Northwest career came on February 18, 2002 in a 96-78 win against Northeast. Rogan needed just 14 points to reach the 1,000-point milestone but instead scored 32 and made 13 of his 21 shots from the field, grabbing seven rebounds, five steals and four assists.
Rogan concluded his two-year stint in Senatobia by leading the team in scoring both years, compiling a career total of 1,156 points for 19.3 points per game, good for sixth all-time in average scoring. He also continues to hold records in field goals made (447; 3rd), free throws made (204; 4th) and assists (262; 5th).
From Northwest, Rogan signed to play Division I basketball at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he spent two seasons with the Mocs from 2002-04. He received Southern Conference Player of the Week accolades as a junior and helped UTC to a combined 40-20 overall record and two runner-up finishes in the Southern Conference Tournament.
After college, Rogan went on to play overseas in Holland. He currently lives in Nashville and is the owner of RoShow Personal Training, HYPE Mentoring and serves as a basketball trainer at Performance Excellence Athletics.
Rogan is also the older brother of two-time NCAA champion and 13-year NBA veteran Corey Brewer.
