Raiders in search of a second option on the mound

After a successful junior season, North Iredell pitcher Aaron Johnson returns as the ace of the Raiders rotation.

“Having him back is huge,” coach Matthew Poole said. “When he’s on the mound, we should be in good shape.”

Finding a No. 2 pitcher is the bigger issue, and the Raiders will turn to either Marcus Ferguson or Nick Burwell.

Ferguson is an outfielder with great range who was a situation relief pitcher last year, and Burwell showed some promise after a late call-up from the junior varsity team.

“More than likely, Marcus Ferguson will be our No. 2,” Poole said. “Nick Burwell could step into that No. 2 role if he shows up and works hard.”
