In the heart of Mangum, Oklahoma, you’ll always find Anna Rogers in the stands—smiling, cheering and standing proudly behind her boys. For the Rogers family, high school football isn’t just a season; it’s a tradition that runs deep—shaping memories, values and bonds that stretch across years.
Her support is unwavering, and her presence is a reminder that being a football mom means much more than just showing up.
For Rogers, football isn’t just a game, it’s part of her family’s rhythm, legacy and love.
Rogers is the proud mother of twin sons, Beau and Zeke, who are entering their sophomore year at Mangum High School. Beau plays quarterback and wears No. 13, while Zeke lines up as a wide receiver wearing No. 1. The two have been playing football since third grade, and their connection on the field has become one of their mother’s favorite things to witness.
“I always love it when the quarterback completes a pass to the wide receiver,” Rogers said. “When Beau throws to Zeke, it gets me really excited.”
But the family’s football journey didn’t start there. Anna and her husband, Rodney — both Mangum graduates — have deep roots in the program. Their oldest son, Luke, also wore a Tigers jersey, playing multiple sports before graduating in 2022.
“We’re proud that our boys are Mangum Tigers, just like us,” Rogers said.
Beyond attending every game, Rogers contributes behind the scenes, donating to camps, supporting fundraisers and helping organize team meals. Most recently, she helped cover costs for the Tigers’ summer football camp in May.
But her impact goes far beyond logistics.
At home, Rogers emphasizes character over statistics.
“I try to leave the coaching to the coaches,” she said. “I just remind them to be positive, humble and good teammates.”
She also encourages balance, helping her boys navigate school, sports and family life. “They’re really good students, and I try to keep them focused on their priorities,” she added.
In a town like Mangum, where community ties run deep, moms like Anna Rogers help build more than just a football team — they help build character, consistency and care.
She shows up not only for her sons but for their teammates, their coaches and the program itself.
Whether it’s cheering from the stands, preparing meals or quietly giving when there’s a need, Rogers leads with humility and heart.
What drives her isn’t recognition, it’s love. Love for her children, love for her community, and a deep belief that showing up matters.
Because for Anna Rogers, raising athletes is only part of the story — raising men of integrity, kindness and gratitude is the real victory.
