Blogs > Burney's Bytes

Burney's Bytes will focus primarily on the local preps sports scene, but will also touch on some college and pro athletics, mostly in regards to athletes who hail and have played high school sports in Oakland County. My goal for the blog is to be conversational and anecdotal, a more relaxed and free formal take on high school athletics than you see in regular game day coverage.

Burney's Boys Baseball Rankings

OC Top Ten
1 RH Adams (11-2) – Senior hurlers Mike Johnson and Ryan Strom are strumming along at a workmanlike-clip on the 'ole pitching rubber so far this year, significantly augmenting the Highlanders heavy hitting arsenal. Johnson is carrying a big chunk of the squad's offensive load too.
2 Lake Orion (11-3) – Coach Andy Schramek's team is transforming into "The Zack Attack" this season with junior outfielder/pitcher Zack Zott playing so well!
3 Birmingham Groves (9-0) – Jake Balbas, Jake Moss, Mike "Megadeath" Mestdagh, Chris Poches…enough said!
4 MH Bishop Foley (14-3) – Ventures continue to fly high!!!!!!
5 MH Lamphere (13-4) – Junior Mitch Kozlowski is one of the best lead-off hitters in the state regardless of class
6 Farmington (10-4) – Senior Matt Gutknecht is double trouble from the mound and the plate this season!
7 Walled Lake Central (13-2) – Speaking of superior senior pitchers, the Vikings' Jake Paulson has been pure dominance every start he's made
8 Birmingham Brother Rice (9-3) – Get busy my main man, Tommy Barrett!!!!
9 OL St. Mary's (6-6) – The Eaglets may be starting slow, but Burney's sure they'll being picking it up quite soon!
9 Clarkston (5-1) – Biggest surprise of the year in the local prep baseball scene and the Wolfpack are doing it without star pitcher/1B Matt Kamieniecki (Ball State for hoops), whose going to miss the whole year with a broken hand suffered in a freak accident over spring break.
10 AH Avondale (8-4) – Big fall for the Jackets this week from the top of the rankings, but don't sleep on Portelli, Peters, Draybek and co.
