One of the top high school football programs in the Kansas City area will be without their head coach for the first month of the 2025 season.

 

Lee's Summit North High School has suspended head coach Jason Rogers, and assistant coach Johlon Whittaker, for the first three games of the season, due to a violation of Missouri State High School Activities Association regulations.

 

School Principal Dr. Tim Collins sent a letter to staff and families, saying "contact days went over the MSHSAA-allowed 20 days and coaches were working with students during a dedicated summertime dead period earlier this summer."

 

KCTV5's Katie Maher has more on the violation.

 

Lee's Summit North is coming off an 11-1 season in 2024, and play Raymore-Peculiar, Staley, and Mill Valley (KS) in the first three games of the season. Rogers and Whittaker will both be eligible to return to the sidelines on September 19th when the Broncos battle Bentonville (AR)
