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.

Dreaming of Friday Night Lights

The start of prep football practice is only a day away and Burney is bursting with excitement and anticipation. Here are a few things that Burney is sure to be dreaming about next few weeks in preparation for the start of the season which is less than 3 weeks away:
