Rogers overwhelms Northside in blistering conference opener

Rogers 52, Fort Smith Northside 12

FORT SMITH — Rogers exploded to a 45–0 halftime lead and closed out a 52–12 win over Fort Smith Northside on Sept. 26, 2025, at Mayo Thompson Stadium in the 7A‑West opener.

Senior Jeff Regan—listed as WR/CB on Hudl but deployed at quarterback—accounted for three first‑half touchdowns, firing a scoring pass and rushing for two, highlighted by a 91‑yard keeper. Titus Cramer added two rushing scores, and Xander Burke powered in the opener as the Mounties controlled the line of scrimmage. Special teams added a late jolt when Cooper McIntosh housed a kickoff; a scoop‑and‑score and a 26‑yard field goal rounded out a complete night.

Northside found sparks after the break. Warren Bijou slashed for two second‑half touchdown runs to put the Grizzlies on the board, while Jaylen Chavez halted an early Mounties drive with an end‑zone interception. MLB Anjhul Johnson recovered a fumble, and receivers Keelan Mendoza and Jayden Charles moved the chains on quick‑game concepts.
