Badger wrestler Ryan Rogers was gifted $200 thanks to a donation by the Arkadelphia Lions Club. An incoming senior at Arkadelphia High School, the three-time state champion and two-time conference champion spoke to the club Thursday, June 13, 2024, about his experiences, accomplishments and goals as a wrestler.
With 12 years of wrestling experience now under his belt, the 138-pounder qualified this summer to be part of the Arkansas National Wrestling Team as one of about 75-plus youth wrestlers from across the state. Rogers is competing this week at the Junior National Duals in Tulsa, Oklahoma, June 19-22.
Rogers told the club he has aspirations to become a UFC professional fighter. Two colleges are currently eyeing Rogers.
