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.

Orchard Lake St. Mary's football star Spencer McInnis committed to play in college at Miami (OH) earlier this week.
McInnis was a three-year starter in the Eaglets backfield, helping take them to three consecutive trips to the state finals at Ford Field and a state championship back in November.
The 5-foot-10, 190 pound McInnis has deceptive speed, having been timed as fast as 4.5 in the 40-yard dash. Last season, he rushed for 1,544 yards and 25 tds, in addition to a monster performance in the state title tilt, where he ran for 215 yards and three scores.
Parker McInnis, Spencer's little brother, will return to rep the family name in the St. Mary's backfield rotation next fall. Flanking his brother admirably, Parker ran for 95 yards and a dazzling 60-yard touchdown scamper in the second half of the state finals.
The McInnis brothers' father played college football at Eastern Michigan.
