[Jon Johnson @jonjohnson9]

I am grateful to have been a part in the development of this facility for youth!

[Times Free Press @TimesFreePress]

A little after 6 p.m. on a Friday, the ping of a bat echoed at Howard School's brand-new indoor baseball facility as the Hustlin' Tigers warmed up for a home game. https://t.co/gZ8pnKMKAZ

[Howard HS Baseball @HowardHSBBChatt]

Playing under the lights in 2025! No more games and practices finishing early due to lack of sunlight. Thank you to all that made this a reality for the community at Howard HS and all players and families that will enjoy the ball games for years to come!

.@HustlinTigers has produced so many legendary athletes but not one @HowardHSBBChatt player has ever earned a D-I scholarship.

Until Friday...

@CamronJames423 made history when he became the first Hustlin' Tiger in the school's 159-year existence to turn a dream to reality.

Our program has increased from 11 players to 40 in 8 years. Due to this, we are raising $ for a hitting facility. We have raised $42K of an estimated $75K. The indoor facility will have 7 cages and a weight room! See below for info: https://t.co/JhFpCDwYlK

“A lot of kids in the inner city need to hear that they have a chance to be good at baseball. What @CamronJames423 is doing is inspiring a lot of kids who wouldn’t otherwise realize this was possible. Really, he’s an inspiration for all of Chattanooga.”

[Howard HS Baseball @HowardHSBBChatt]

@CamronJames423 - big future ahead with your work ethic and competitive drive! Time to get back to the lab and keep working!

@PG_Georgia @PG_Uncommitted @PG_Tennessee @CamronJames423 very proud of your diligence and work ethic! Keep grinding towards greatness!!!

[Perfect Game Georgia @PG_Georgia]

Camron Jones (‘24, TN) shoots this over the 6 hole for a single. Athletic kid, moves well @ SS/OF w solid arm strength. Good feel for the game, plenty of physical maturation left. @PG_Uncommitted @PG_Tennessee #FallSE

[Brandon Turner @b_turnerTBA]

As athletic and as untapped potential as you will find out there. Huge potential, great human being, and hard worker. Led state in stolen bases last year. Steal for someone. Will be committed soon

[Jon Johnson @jonjohnson9]

@DevonMckinney_ @PG_Scouting @PG_Georgia @MBPTakeover @TheCanesBB @BUncommitted Get some footage with the camera still isolating your swing next time.

[Jon Johnson @jonjohnson9]

I’m proud of you CJ! Keep grinding!

[Times Free Press @TimesFreePress]

The smile on CJ McKissic's face after Tuesday night's Tennessee vs. Georgia all-star baseball game was contagious. https://t.co/F3DBo5nUmH
