Early Life[edit]
Rowan began his playing career in 2016, when he participated in the Somerville Middle School Program.
Villen Ultimate[edit]
In 2020, he was placed on the JV Villens, the Somerville High associated developmental club team, where he fostered his talents and love for the game. The following year, Ferguson was named a co-captain of the Villen’s Varsity program[2], a position which he held for the following three years. Through his leadership, the team placed top 3 in the 2022 Massachusetts state high school tournament and won the Amherst Ultimate Invitational Tournament. Ferguson is potentially most remembered for the 2023 Massachusetts State Tournament Incident.
Youth-Club Championship[edit]
In 2022, Ferguson played for the Boston Ultimate Disc Alliance (BUDA) U-17 Youth Club Championship Boys Team[3], at the national tournament in Blaine, Minnesota. In tournament play, he recorded 2 goals, 5 assists, and 8 turnovers.
2023 Massachusetts State Tournament Incident[edit]
Regrettably, Ferguson’s legacy is marked by an incident which occurred during the 2023 Massachusetts State Tournament in which his personal conduct resulted in a set of major disturbances, culminating in Somerville High’s ultimate forfeit of the tournament’s final game.
Track and Field[edit]
Ferguson was a part of the Greater Boston League Cross Country championship winning teams in 2022[4] and 2023.
