Coaches

Brandon Nathaniel Rogers- Mt. Carmel High School Assistant Varsity Coach, 7th Grade Boys Club Coach
Attended Irvine Valley and  Menlo College. He coached various Bay Area AAU teams before joining the Sundevils.

About basketball: "My favorite part of the game is defense, I love seeing how a team can work together to not only stop but also frustrate and dictate what the other team does. I love coaching unselfishness and ball movement, I think that's what makes the most effective offense."

Outside Basketball: Melvin and Betty Rogers are my parents. I have one sister Samantha Fields who is married Milton Fields and I have two nephews Isaiah and Christian, and another nephew/niece on the way! Really basketball is my life, but when I'm not watching, playing, or coaching I play video games, watch lots of movies, and try and read as much as I can.

Mike Johnson- Mt. Carmel High School Girls JV, Girls 7/8 Grade Club Coach
Attended Trenton Catholic Boys High School, Trenton NJ where he was a shooting guard, 20th ranked team in the Nation.

About basketball:  "watching the improvement of the players over the course of the season and then watching their continuing improvement as they progress towards HS varsity.  I really enjoy teaching a team to understand a half-court offense; and to play aggressive, physical defense."
