Lee's Summit North Football Coach Jason Rogers Resigns Amid Multiple MSHSAA Violations

Jason Rogers resigned as head football coach at Lee’s Summit North amid multiple violations of Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) rules, including exceeding no-contact day practice limits and players participating in practices without completed physicals or registration. The school district self-reported the initial violations, but further infractions emerged after Rogers began a three-game suspension at the start of the 2025 season. Lee’s Summit North principal Dr. Tim Collins emphasized the district’s commitment to high standards of compliance and student safety in accepting Rogers’ immediate resignation. Assistant coach Deron Washington, a former NFL player, has been named interim head coach to maintain consistency and stability. The program, which had a strong 11-2 season in 2024 under Rogers, now faces disruption but the district prioritizes protecting student athletes and the integrity of the football program. Parents had previously raised concerns about offseason workout fees related to former NFL player Donald Stephenson’s involvement, adding to the controversy surrounding the team.
