ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- The grandson of retired Michigan coach Lloyd Carr has committed to playing football at Notre Dame in 2024.
Saline High School quarterback CJ Carr announced his decision Thursday night. He is ranked as the nation's No. 5 quarterback and 20th player overall in the 2024 class by 247Sports' composite rankings.
Carr chose the Fighting Irish over the Wolverines, Georgia, LSU, Wisconsin and Michigan State.
His father, Jason, was a backup quarterback at Michigan and his mother, Tammi, also graduated from the school. Maternal grandfather Tom Curtis was an All-America defensive back for the Wolverines in 1969.
Carr completed 64% of his passes for 2,696 yards, 28 touchdowns and 4 interceptions last season as a sophomore.
BOSTON WINS, TAKES 2-1 LEAD
BOSTON (AP) -- Jaylen Brown scored 27 points, Jayson Tatum added 26 and the Boston Celtics beat back another third-quarter onslaught by the Golden State Warriors in a 116-100 victory Wednesday night that gave them a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals.
Marcus Smart added 24 points and helped lead a defensive effort that held the Warriors to 11 points in the fourth quarter,
Stephen Curry led Golden State with 31 points and six 3-pointers. He had 15 points in a 33-25 third quarter by the Warriors but was hurt late in the fourth after Al Horford rolled into his leg on a loose ball.
Klay Thompson broke out of a finals slump and finished with 25 points and five 3s. But the Warriors' shooting couldn't save them on a night the more athletic Celtics outmuscled them for a 47-31 rebounding advantage.
Game 4 is tonight in Boston.
ANGELS’ LOSING STREAK HITS 14
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- The Los Angeles Angels' losing streak reached a franchise-record 14 games Wednesday night when Bobby Dalbec drove in the only run with a double in the sixth inning for the Boston Red Sox in a 1-0 victory.
Nathan Eovaldi (4-2) pitched five innings of six-hit ball with five strikeouts in Boston's season-high seventh consecutive victory. With their second 1-0 win in three days at the Big A, the Red Sox remained perfect in June and on their 10-game West Coast trip (6-0).
With another lifeless offensive performance and pitching that was just good enough to lose, the Angels dropped to 0-2 under interim manager Phil Nevin, who replaced Joe Maddon on Tuesday. The Halos' baffling skid is now longer than the previous team record set across the final 12 games of 1988 and the 1989 opener.
Los Angeles was 24-13 and in first place in the AL West on May 15, but the Angels have gone 3-18 since with a simultaneous collapse of their injury-plagued lineup and their perpetually poor pitching staff.
