The Great Burnzini Returns - Quarter Pounders

Burney's quarterfinal picks;

Baseball

D3: Madison Heights Bishop Foley v. Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard – This is a season of a destiny for the Ventures……the dream becomes a reality as Foley slips past the Fighting Irish and punches its ticket back to Cereal City aka Battle Creek aka the final four aka the Division 3 state semifinals for the second straight year. Make no doubt about it, THIS IS THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

Quote of the postseason;

"Everyone on this team is focused on winning a state title, anything less is unacceptable," – Ventures senior Brad Schalk following the team's 12-0 drubbing of Harper Woods in a regional championship game on Saturday.

Foley 5, Gabriel Richard 4 (10 innings)

D1: Novi Detroit Catholic Central v. Portage Central – SUPERSONIC UPSET SPECIAL, SUPERSONIC UPSET SPECIAL…… CC has been a Cinderella squad all season long and the clock isn't quite ready to hit midnight just yet. Starting pitcher Nate Beck is a BULLDOG!! The Shamrocks pull the upset over No. 1 in the state PC and dance on to Battle Creek behind another gem by the Beckmeister!

CC 3, PC 2

D4: Rochester Hills Lutheran Northwest v. Merrill – You can't stop the Crusaders tandem of Eric Mischley & Luke McCatty,, you can only hope to contain them….and Merrill will fail to do both

LNW 5, Merrill 3

Softball

D1: Troy v. New Baltimore Anchor Bay – Okay, so I know the Colts are underdogs this year, but this game will come down to some very simple math…..Troy has skipper Tom Calnan and Anchor Bay doesn't!

Troy 4, Anchor Bay 2

 D4: Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes v. Unionville Sebewaing – The Lakers have so many weapons this season on the diamond it's RIDICULOUS….I'm talking a MURDERER'S ROW including the likes of ROBAK, TROY, COTTRELL, MASTROMATTEO, GARRIS, NORDMAN and others. Burney smells another state championship in the cards for the WOLL girls sports program this year!!!

WOLL 6, US 2
