Tribute To Larry Rodgers

The Adair County Basketball program is heart-broken with the loss of Larry Rodgers. He was an important person to the program, community, and myself personally. His passing and legacy should be acknowledge in a very public and transparent manner.

When I was interviewing for this job, Coach Breeze made it a point to take and introduce me to Larry. He immediately treated Breeze and I like his own children. We are internally grateful for what he did for us. Larry and I spent so many hours out at dinner, the A frame loft, or in the gym discussing basketball, the community, or one of his many adventures. I told his daughters for someone to take a stranger, put him under his wing, speaks volumes about the person he was.

Finally, he loved his Indians and Lady Indians! The support and help he gave to the kids of this community cannot be measured. He loved his softball team and all of his former players. His prized possessions were his brothers and daughters. A conversation did not pass that he did not brag on them. Please support his family during this time, and please be thankful for all he did! Goodbye, Larry. I am going to miss you my friend!

With Love and Gratitude,
Coach Daniel Hedges
