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.

The Great Burnzini - Semifinal Sampler

Final Four Prep Football Picks
Lake Orion v. Detroit Cass Tech
Burney's excited to see former OC gunslinger and current Cass Tech QB Keith Moore (Oak Park) go up against the fierce Dragons defense. I think it's a battle the LO 'D' is going to prevail in thanks to the Dragons secondary led by Dolinski, Misiak and Fine. Marques Stevenson, possibly the most under-appreciated tailback in the Class of 2011, goes all MARQUES STEVENSON, tearing up the previously-unscathed Technicians defense for 200 yards and 3 TDs. Dragons continue to breath fire and waltz into the D1 state finals for the second time in three years.
Lake Orion 33, Cass Tech 23
Walled Lake Central v. Lowell
It's been a great ride Vikes, Burney just doesn't see you guys getting past state powerhouse Lowell this weekend….now, next year with Zach Liembach and K.J. Schultz back still leading the way it might be a different story if the Vikes make it back to the final four. 
Lowell 28, WLC 16
Farmington Hills Harrison v. Grosse Pointe South
Is there really any question in this one…..Hawks = Hammer, GPS = Nail
Harrison 43, GPS 20
Orchard Lake St. Mary's v DeWitt
The Eaglets are so money this year they should play all of their remaining games in a bank. Burney's foresees a stout defensive effort and another explosive offensive output sparking St. Mary's on a trip back to Ford Field for the second straight year and third time since 2007. Senior wideout Allen Robinson, sophomore running back Grant Niemiec and the Nasty Boyz defense are all in for MEGA outings
OLSM 45, DeWitt 17
