- Justus enjoying hot start to July
Former Cartersville High School and Georgia Tech shortstop Connor Justus is riding his best streak of the 2017 season at the plate for his Advanced Class A California League team, the Inland Empire 66ers. Heading into Sunday night’s home game with Rancho Cucamonga, Justus has hit safely in eight consecutive games and has a pair of two-hit games in that streak. Since July 1, he has gone 9-for-28, raised his batting average by 11 points, and doubled three times in games at Lake Elsinore and in home series with Stockton and Rancho Cucamonga. He has a .321 batting average for the month of July. Justus is a second-year pro who was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels in the fifth round of the 2016 draft. After being drafted last summer, Justus hit .344 with 23 RBIs in 26 games at Rookie Level with Orem, Utah and quickly rose to the Angels’ Class A level team in Burlington, Iowa. There he hit .230 with a pair of home runs over 42 games and finished his initial year in professional baseball with a .276 mark and 32 RBIs. Following 2017 Spring Training, Justus was promoted again and assigned to the Advanced Class A 66ers of the California League. Defensively, the 22-year-old middle infielder has continued to show why he was a high-level draft choice. In 72 games (71 at shortstop, 1 game at second base) he has a .953 fielding percentage in 280 total chances. He has also been part of 38 double plays. It is at the plate where Justus' years started slowly. He had only four hits in his first 34 official at-bats. From that point, he has shown some offensive flashes of his rookie year and has bashed five homers, but has lacked the consistency he exhibited in the 2016 campaign at the previous levels. He has collected 42 walks in 2017 and as a result has kept his on-base percentage at .327. Inland Empire finished the first half standings in the California League South Division with a 30-40 record. The Lancaster JetHawks of the Colorado Rockies organization won the first-half division title. The league is now 17 games into the second half of the schedule and Inland Empire has a 9-8 mark. The 66ers currently trail Rancho Cucamonga of the Dodgers’ organization by one game.

- Howard dominant in 4th of July start
Set off the Fourth of July fireworks for Sam Howard of the Colorado Rockies organization. Howard had his best game since joining the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes Tuesday night with an eight-inning, ten strikeout performance that shutout the visiting Sacramento River Cats 2-0 at Isotopes Park. The former Cartersville High School and Georgia Southern southpaw is now 2-1 with the Isotopes and needed only 91 pitches to dominate his eight innings of work. He scattered three hits and did not issue a walk. Howard is now 3-5 with a 2.81 ERA in 14 starts split between Double-A Hartford of the Eastern League and Triple-A Albuquerque of the Pacific Coast League. He has pitched 73 and 2/3 innings with 66 strikeouts, a 1.00 WHIP, and a .210 batting average against. Howard was spectacular Tuesday evening in front of 15,664 fans. It was the fifth-largest crowd in Isotopes Park history and his 10 strikeouts matched his career-high. When Howard left the game in the middle of the eighth, the game was scoreless. Opposing pitcher Jose Flores also had an impressive outing, but Tom Murphy smashed a solo home run for Albuquerque in the bottom of the eighth and Daniel Castro added a sacrifice fly later in the frame to give the Isotopes a 2-0 lead. Reliever Jairo Diaz closed out the ninth for the home team to complete the shutout. The Isotopes are 41-43 following Tuesday night’s win and are in second place at 5.5 games behind Pacific Southern Division leading Salt Lake Bees of the Los Angeles Angels’ organization.
- Beasley, NFL elites gather at Miller's "pass rush summit"
Atlanta Falcons linebacker Vic Beasley was one of several NFL elite pass rushers to attend a pass rush summit June 29 at Stanford University. This was more than just a collection of guys getting together for a workout. The miniature mini-camp hosted by the Denver Broncos Von Miller was an invitation only event and it included many of the league’s best. Among the NFL stars in attendance were defensive ends Cliff Avril and Cassius Marsh of Seattle. Also present were outside linebackers Khalil Mack (Oakland), Olivier Vernon (NY Giants), Arik Armstead (San Francisco), and Shane Ray (Denver). Dallas defensive end Damontre Moore participated as did Falcons' former All-Pro Chuck Smith, Jacksonville defensive lineman Malik Jackson, and 49ers defensive end Solomon Thomas. The attending players gathered to share their knowledge and to sharpen skills. The players at this elite level know that subtle changes they pick up and obtaining intricate expertise can be just enough to separate themselves from the remainder of players at their positions. Beasley (15.5) and Miller (13.5) were the top two NFL sack leaders in the 2016 season and talked about developing a summit last January. Last week, they made the gathering happen. Richard Smith, who coached Miller at Denver and was Beasley’s defensive coordinator in Atlanta, apparently helped solidify the link between the two pass rush stars. Smith has now moved on to the Los Angeles Chargers as a linebackers coach.
- 247Sports ranks QBs at The Opening Finals
Is the No. 1 quarterback and top recruit status of Cartersville High School quarterback Trevor Lawrence being challenged? Well if you ask around in Cartersville and Bartow County there is little question. Locals have witnessed the incredible performances of the Clemson commit for three years now as he has led the Hurricanes to a pair of state titles and a final four appearance with only one loss in three seasons. Early Tuesday, Luke Stampini of 247Sports ranked the top performances from The Opening Finals featuring twelve of the nation’s top high school quarterback prospects following head-to-head competition at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon that wrapped up Monday. The six-day event is arguably the most prestigious prep football showcase in the nation and included Cartersville rising senior quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Lawrence has held the nation’s top overall prospect spot and the No. 1 quarterback spot among high school players since the Class of 2018 rankings were established, but much of the media hype at The Opening Finals this past weekend focused on nearby Harrison Hoyas QB Justin Fields from Kennesaw, GA. Fields, who was committed to Penn State at one time but has since withdrawn that commitment, tossed 16 touchdowns in the 7on7 competition at The Opening Finals and did not throw an interception while connecting on 72 percent of his attempts. That type of performance against nationally elite competition earned him 247Sports top QB billing from the event. Fields is a dual-threat quarterback whose stock has risen in recent months. Most experts now list Florida State, Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, and Penn State as his potential landing spots. He currently has 40 total offers according to 247Sports. Fields won the Elite 11 MVP award and led his 7on7 team to The Opening 2017 championship, so last weekend’s performance in Beaverton will only fuel a growing debate about whether or not Lawrence will retain his No. 1 QB and prospect status. Fields also only threw from the pocket in the 7on7s in Oregon. His 4.51 speed was not utilized in this event as a runner. Do not be misled by the hype, however. Lawrence performed well in Oregon and was highly impressive. He continued to receive rave reviews for his ability to read through his progressions and throw for accuracy. He threw for six touchdowns and a 65 percent completion rate, but he was picked off four times in the 7on7s. In a different report Tuesday, Jeff Sentell of DawgNation took to the defense of Lawrence’s No. 1 position. He pointed out that Lawrence has handled the top spot with tremendous poise while winning back-to-back state titles and only dropping one game in his three-year high school career. Sentell further reminded his readers that those factors are key considerations in determining the overall No. 1 spot. In the big picture, it really doesn’t matter. It is like the common comparison debates of other great athletes. Lawrence is content in his selection of Clemson as his future home and Fields will land with one of the elite programs in the country. Who knows? We may even get to see them face-off on a collegiate Saturday somewhere down the road. 247Sports final quarterback rankings from the week of competition at The Opening Finals: — Justin Fields — Kennesaw, GA — Harrison — 6-3, 220 — Undecided — 16 TD, 0 INT, 72% completion rate — Justin Rogers — Bossier City, LA — Parkway — 6-4, 210 — TCU commit — 14 TD, 6 INT, 72% — Tanner McKee — Corona, CA — Centennial — 6-6, 220 — Undecided — 10 TD, 0 INT, 70% — Trevor Lawrence — Cartersville, GA — Cartersville — 6-6, 200 — Clemson commit — 6 TD, 4 INT, 65% — Jarren Williams — Lawrenceville, GA — Central Gwinnett — 6-2, 205 — Kentucky commit — 6 TD, 3 INT, 68% — Dorian Thompson-Robinson — Las Vegas, NV — Bishop Gorman — 6-2, 195 — UCLA commit — 6 INT — Tyler Shough — Chandler, AZ — Hamilton — 6-4, 190 — North Carolina commit — 6 TD, 4 INT, 63% — Matt Corral — Long Beach, CA — LB Poly — Undecided — 7 TD, 3 INT, 57% — Devin Leary — Sicklerville, NJ — Timber Creek — 6-1, 190 — NC State commit — 4 TD, 4 INT, 68% — Cammon Cooper — Lehi, UT — Lehi — Washington State commit — 1 TD, 3 INT, 65% STORY LINKS: 247Sports -- Luke Stampini -- http://247sports.com/Gallery/Final-Ranking-of-the-Elite-11-Quarterbacks-53433350 DawgNation -- Jeff Sentell -- https://www.dawgnation.com/football/recruiting/the-5-things-i-learned-on-the-last-day-of-the-2017-opening-finals
- SHGA / AMG Update: Charles Howell III edged in playoff at Quicken Loans National
Charles Howell III had a birdie try from just over 21 feet on the last hole of regulation play Sunday at the Quicken Loans National on the PGA Tour. It was a putt for the tournament win, but the ball barely slipped by the left edge and left Howell in a playoff with Kyle Stanley. Stanley went on to win the tournament at TPC Potomac with a par on the first playoff hole leaving Howell, 38, with his second runner-up finish of 2017 and the 16th runner-up finish of his PGA Tour career. Howell finished second to Jon Rahm earlier this year in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in San Diego. The resulting solo second place finish was the top performance this past week for players affiliated with Cartersville Country Club's Scott Hamilton Golf Academy and Athletic Motion Golf. Howell, an Augusta, GA native now residing in Orlando, is one of the most consistent players on tour. This week marked his return to competitive play after a nine-week break due to a rib injury. Although he has gone nearly 300 tournament starts without a win, he remains just one of three golfers to finish in the top 125 on the PGA Tour money list since 2000. Charles Howell III He has a pair of PGA Tour victories in his career. He won the Michelob Championship at Kingmill by two shots in 2002 and captured the 2007 Nissan Open when he edged Phil Mickelson in a playoff. Howell, a former NCAA national champion as an individual and with his team at Oklahoma State University (2000), won the Haskins Award honoring the most outstanding collegiate golfer and was PGA Tour Rookie of the Year in 2001. Elsewhere on the senior PGA Champions Tour, SHGA-player Joe Durant continued his steady play and his rise in the season-long Schwab Cup standings. Durant tied for 12th at the U.S. Senior Open with a 3-under-par total (66-67-73-71) at Salem Country Club in Massachusetts. The finish moved him up two spots on the Charles Schwab Cup Money List to 16th.
