It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the passing of our friend, colleague, and beloved administrator, Dr. Michael Rogers. Dr. Rogers, the head principal of East Middle School, made a profound impact on students and touched the lives of many! Today we honor his memory.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jepsen family on the passing of Ron Jepsen the father of East High coaches Brian & Jeff Jepsen and longtime fan of all Black Raider Sports.

We take great pride in the achievements of all 7 players who scored their 1,000th career point while in an East High uniform. Each holds a special place in the history of our program.

Congratulations to our Head Coach Ras Vanderloo for being selected as one of the court coaches for the USA Basketball’s Junior National team mini camp to be held at the final four in New Orleans.
Had a great first week of practice. The guys brought great energy all week. We got better each day and were really looking forward to the 19-20 season.
