Burney's having a difficult time figuring out if his main man, Jake Balbas of Groves is a better pitcher or hitter in the Falcons' diamond attack.

KUDOS TO MY SHARPESHOOTING HIGHLANDERS HOMEBOY CONOR BOYLE FOR GETTING HIS COLLEGE HOOP THANG ON BY COMMITTING TO LAKE FOREST COLLEGE IN ILLINOIS! LFC APPEARS TO BE BUILDING A PIPELINE TO THE OC FOR QUALITY GUARD PLAY - HOLLY'S JORDAN FOWLER IS ALSO ON THE SQUAD

Valdez "The Show" Showers of MH Madison athletic-fame is blowing up like nitro as my boy the NOTORIOUS BIG once said – over the past month Showers, a blue chipper at both RB and LB in football and considered a top 10 recruit in the state for 2011, has received scholarship offers from Michigan State, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Toledo, and Bowling Green. I've been writing about "The Show" for over a year now, so to say I'm surprised with the interest would be a lie.

WOLL's Ava Doetch and Megan Topelewski started back off in the spring where they left off in the winter – as starters on the school's Class D girls bball state title squad in March –  by each scoring a goal and recording an assist in the Lakers first win of the season over arch-rival MC Cardinal Mooney on the soccer field Tuesday night.

After offering Jake Duzy (Troy Athens) last month, it looks like new football head coach Dan Enos over at CMU has now extended additional scholarship offers to county gridiron standouts, Showes, Kenny Knight (DCD), and Tim "Jumbo" Hamilton (Brother Rice)  

Congrats to my main Roughrider baller homeboy, Ryan Zinser, for making the Detroit Free Press' First Team All-State squad in Class D. Shouts go out to my main, Mick McCabe for giving this genuine gamer the props he deserves.

Talking about small school studs.... on the diamond that is: Don't sleep on RH Lutheran Northwest's baseball team this season!! Led by senior stalwarts Steve Miscovich (3-3 Grand Slam, 7 RBI in win over Mt Clemens), Matt Berkseth (2-3 3 RBI), and Alex Massell (2-3 3 RBI in over AH Oakland Christian) the Crusaders are mad nice and are ready to make opposing managers, players, and fans quite mad themselves with frustration in the box score in the coming months.
