Crystal Ball

As touched on yesterday, Burney is going through major league withdrawal symptoms as a result of being deprived of prep sports for the next two months. In order to cope, Burney said goodbye to some of the great high school athletes that are leaving us this year in his last blog entry. Today, Burney dusts off his old crystal ball and foresees the future of the 2010-2011 prep sports season.
