Struggles Continue for Cabarrus High School Baseball Teams as Conference Season Unfolds

In the sunny city of Concord, the 2025 high school baseball season is proving to be quite the challenge for teams in Cabarrus County. Currently, local teams in the South Piedmont 3A Conference are struggling, sitting at the bottom four spots in the league standings. With a somewhat discouraging combined conference record of 2-16, the outlook appears tough for these young athletes.

This season, Central Cabarrus and Northwest Cabarrus share the top honor among Cabarrus teams, holding a record of 1-4. On the flip side, Jay M. Robinson and Concord have yet to experience the joy of a conference victory. Overall, Cabarrus teams have a combined record of 9-25 leading into Tuesday’s exciting matchups.

The League Leaders

Meanwhile, the competition is heating up at the top of the SPC standings. Lake Norman Charter is leading the charge with a flawless record of 6-0 in both overall and conference play. Other teams making strides include West Rowan at 5-1, East Rowan with a 4-1 record, and South Rowan and Carson, who are also climbing the ranks with records of 4-2 and 2-3 respectively.

Batting Battles

In terms of hitting, it seems none of the players from Cabarrus teams are making waves among the league leaders in batting average. The competition from teams in Mecklenburg and Rowan counties is proving formidable. Currently, four players in the SPC boast impressive batting averages of .500 or higher. Maddox Moore from West Rowan leads the pack at .548, followed closely by Krys Hernandez at .516, Carter Durant at .500, and Trevor Cook representing Lake Norman Charter, also at .500.

As for Cabarrus players, the highest ranked is Noah Johnson of Jay M. Robinson, sitting at 14th with a respectable .375 average. Garret Black from Central Cabarrus is tied for 16th with a .364 average and is making a name for himself by ranking fourth in the conference with an impressive 10 RBIs. Fellow players Jackson Lancaster from Northwest Cabarrus and Levi Grande are also contributing to their team’s offensive efforts with 9 and 6 RBIs respectively.

Pitching Prowess

Turning to pitching, there are a few bright spots for Cabarrus teams. Bryson Honeycutt from Jay M. Robinson leads the pack with an impressive ERA of 0.00, currently tied for first in the SPC. He and teammate Jacob Barbee have both achieved 21 strikeouts, placing them third in the league standings. Others like Tellis Bumgarner from Central Cabarrus, with 18 strikeouts, and Keyen Elbe with 17, are proving their worth as valuable pitchers for their teams.

Central Cabarrus’ Comeback

One bright moment came when Central Cabarrus finally secured its first SPC win by beating Northwest Cabarrus 6-5 in a nail-biting comeback. This victory broke a frustrating 11-game losing streak against their rivals since 2019. Key performances included impressive offenses from Andre Vaughn and Bumgarner, each getting two hits, alongside Paulie Coubal, who brought in two RBIs.

Looking Ahead

As the week unfolds, Cabarrus County teams are ready to hit the diamond again. Exciting matchups are on the horizon, including Northwest Cabarrus facing off against Jay M. Robinson and Concord going toe-to-toe with Carson. All eyes will be on these games as the teams look to reignite their seasons and bring home some much-needed wins!
