Staff report

SALISBURY — The combination of a dead period for high school coaches combined with some young coaches playing in college regionals was a factor in Rowan County American Legion delaying the season.

Games scheduled for May 19 and 20 were postponed. It’s not known yet if they can be rescheduled, as Rowan has a really packed calendar for the month of June.

Rowan’s next game is scheduled for Friday. It will be moved to Davidson County, as Catawba College will be using Newman Park for Southeast Super Regional action against Lenoir-Rhyne that night.

Rowan’s current roster stands at 21 players, with 11 from West, 4 from Carson, 4 from East Rowan and 2 from South Rowan.

The latest additions were East’s Mason Phelps and Carson’s Carson Kirk. Both are infielders and pitchers.
