The Fords basketball program is comprised of three teams: varsity, junior varsity, and freshman. The program participates in the Inter-Ac, the nation’s oldest high school athletic league. The Inter-Ac is made up of the following schools: Episcopal Academy, Germantown Academy, Malvern Prep, Penn Charter, and Springside Chestnut Hill.
The Fords also play a challenging non-conference schedule. During the 2016-17 season, the varsity team played PIAA State Champions Archbishop Wood and Imhotep. Their non-conference scheduled included Roman Catholic, Academy of the New Church, The Hun School, Shipley, St. Joseph’s Prep, and The Hill School.

In his time at Archbishop Ryan, Rogers led his squad to two Philadelphia Catholic League Championship appearances. He was named Coach of the Year in 2001, 2002, 2007, and 2008 and currently holds the record for most wins in the school’s history. Rogers began his career as an assistant coach at Arcadia University working with Chris Mooney, the current head coach at the University of Richmond.
Rogers serves as a Physical Education teacher for the Lower School at The Haverford School and helps coach Middle School soccer during the fall. Rogers played college basketball and graduated from Ursinus College. In high school, Rogers was named the 1992 Catholic League Sportsman of the Year and still holds the record for most career assists at Archbishop Ryan.
