Destinee Rogers walked into the locker room Sunday evening armed with a brief message for her Arkansas State women's basketball team. They'd chat for a few minutes, celebrate a 98-48 victory over Hendrix College and then move on to their final nonconference matchup.
Rogers didn't expect her team to have a message in return.
That was when one of Rogers' staff members opened up a video from South Carolina Coach Dawn Staley. A four-time Olympic gold medalist and 2017 national champion at the helm of the Gamecocks, Staley congratulated Rogers on becoming the first Black female head coach at Arkansas State.
