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.

Stop the presses, stop the presses!!!
      One of the area's top young floor generals is on  the move.
      This past week or so it became official, Press Kampe, a two-year varsity  letter-winner at Rochester Hills Adams,  has transferred to Clarkston and  joined the Wolves perennial juggernaut boys basketball team.
      Entering his junior year in 2013, Kampe will assume  point guard duties for TEAM FIFE and C-Town in the wake of the six-time  defending OAA Red champion Wolves' losing all-league backcourt star Mitch Baenziger  to graduation.
      Press is the youngest son of longtime Oakland University  Men's Basketball Head Coach, Greg Kampe. Baenziger, also an all-league pick as  a quarterback on the football field, will be playing college hoops for the elder  Kampe starting this upcoming season at OU.
      Branch Kampe, Greg's older son and Press' big  brother, was an all-state quarterback as a prepster at Royal Oak Shrine who is  now playing in college at LSU.
      While at Adams, Press helped take the Highlanders  to a district crown and an appearance in the Class A SWEET 16 aka the regional  finals in 2011. Last winter during his sophomore campaign, Adams concluded the  year 13-8.
      Clarkston's backcourt is stacked for the near  future. Besides the addition of the spunky Kampe to their guard pool, the  Wolves feature all-league senior standout Jordan Dasuqi, a nasty combo guard  that just came into his own last season, and sharpshooter extraordinaire Nick  Owens, one of the best long-distance bombers in the area's Class of 2014, among  others (I'm talking to you Blake "Baby B" Pokely).
      Under the guidance of legendary sideline general Dan  Fife, C-Town will once again be a top-ranked squad in Class A and favorites to raise the  program's seventh straight league title.
