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.

Southfield Bradford Academy has 2 of the top players in Class C, Eric Murphy '12 & Chris Boatmon '13 and the team is ranked in the top 10 & 20 in class C on most sites. Why no mention of them and why are they not on this site anywhere ?
