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.

Glass Slipper Glory

This has been one of the craziest postseasons in local boys prep basketball that I've ever seen…..So in honor of all the surprise BIG DANCE DESTINY MAKERS alas Lake Orion, OL St. Mary's and Waterford Mott, Burney's breaking down his official All-Cinderella Hoop Squad.
Burney's All-Cinderella Team
G Khalil Malone (Waterford Mott) – The Corsairs superstar junior floor general was the OC's best point guard in the state tourney!!!
G Justin Walukonis (Lake Orion) – This super steady senior is the heart and soul of the 2012 Cinderella Dragons…game-winning triple vs. Rochester in overtime of the district finals, & some big free throws down the stretch in LO's downing of Mott in the regional title tilt
F Chewy Ukandu (OL St. Mary's) – What a tourney run this kid is having? Ukandu CAN DO no wrong for the Eaglets this March; THE CHEW MONSTER went for 22 points, 8 rebounds and four assists in St. Mary's upset of AA Huron in the regional semis and then dropped a 19 point-10 rebound performance against rival Novi Detroit Catholic Central in his squad's upset of the Shamrocks in the regional championship gam
F Chaz Miller (Lake Orion) – The Dragons two-sport MEGA STUD showed he's just as dangerous on the hardwood as he is on the gridiron. THE CHAZANATOR scored 15 points and grabbed 8 rebounds in Lake Orions defeat of Waterford Mott in the regional finals and buried the game-winning 3 in the Dragons upending of BH Lahser in the regional semis
C Danny Furlong (OL St. Mary's) – No doubt the MIP of the Catholic League....This big and strong post presence for the Eaglets is a huge reason why they've been able to bounce back from losing starting forward Justin Barrows so ferociously....no wonder he's a starter in the trenches for the state champion OLSM football squad
6th Man – Davonte Daniel (Waterford Mott) – Mean, lean and aggressive……an absolute beast on the boards!!!
Head Coach – Tom Risi (Lake Orion) – Welcome to THE ELITE 8 Coach, all Burney can say is WOW!!!!
