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 - The Final Week!

The OC Top Ten
1 a. Novi – Burney sees something special in this group of Wildcats this year…..Can you say BATTLE CREEK?
1 b. RH Adams – Highlander hurler Matt Nestor and his steady and precise pitching this season has been ITZ….in THA ZONE!
2 MH Lamphere – 5-1 odds that the Rams would have either won or heavily-competed for the OAA North title if they had played up a division
3 Farmington – Great to see Falcons favorite, Dan Pochmara finally get back up on the mound!
4 WL Central – Jake "The Snake" Paulson = LAST NAME "EVER", FIRST NAME "GREATEST"! in the pantheon of Vikings' hurlers
5 Lake Orion – Dragons skip Andy Schramek heads one of the best run programs in the entire state of Michigan: Every year its discipline, hard-work, sportsmanship, gritty-resilience, and monster talent.  
6 Brother Rice – Things are starting to really come together….i.e. trip to THA COPA for the CHSL Championship game on Wed…… for the Warriors late, which is better than never!
7 OLSM – Things are starting to really come together …..i.e. a bullying county power, RH Adams in a doubleheader sweep of the Highlanders on Sat….. for the Warriors late, which is better than never!
8 MH Bishop Foley – The Ventures are so FRESH 2 DEATH they're going to be on life support entering their CHSL title tilt at THA COPA this week. CAN YOU SAY CHSL CHAMPIONSHIP FOR FIRECRACKER-HOT FOLEY DIAMOND BRIGADE WHEN THE DUST ALL SETTLES AFTER WED MORNING?
9 Groves – Senior swat-maestro Jake Balbes just keeps getting better at the plate….is that even possible? The term strike zone doesn't apply to this kid!
