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.

There are few things in the sports world more intriguing than a great homecoming story.
Well, there's one brewing in our state that could wind up being dandy.
Former local prep football star Alex Fine has decided to transfer from Pittsburgh's Robert Morris University back home to Central Michigan for the upcoming semester.
Fine, an agile and instinctive free safety, helped take Lake Orion to a Division 1 state championship back in 2010.
Making the move from one playing destination to another will not be a new experience for him. As a sophomore and junior, Fine played varsity ball down in Cincinnati before moving with his family to Lake Orion where he joined the DRAGONSNATION, went buck wild on the gridiron and was one of the leaders of a shutdown Green MONSTER 'D.'
Once on campus in January, Fine will join a CMU roster loaded with Oakland County GRID STUDS. There are currently 15 players who prepped in the OC on the team.
Don't be surprised if you see Burney's boy "A-TRAIN" FINE bringing the noise in his new Chippewas' uniform very soon!!
