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.

Class D
At Birmingham Roeper
Teams: Southfield Christian, Clarkston Everest Collegiate, Eastpointe Eaton Academy, Detroit Westside Christian
