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.

Opening Night Roll Call Pt 3

Saturday's top performances from opening night on the local prep football field
Dellonte Johnson (Oak Park) – Was that Dellonte Johnson out there taking snaps for the OP Knights or was it Lions super sub Shaun Hill? Subbing for senior starter, Nate Simms, Johnson led TEAM CARTER to a 20-14 downing of Detroit East Village Prep, connecting with Brian Williams for his second touchdown of the day and the game-winning score with less than 30 seconds left
Waterford Lakes Defense – Looked like the second coming of the '85 Chicago Bears or the 2000 Baltimore Ravens in their squad's 42-6 demolishing of visiting Cleveland Villa St. Joe's, not allowing a single first down the whole game
Brandon Bean (Southfield) – Showed that he's the ultimate definition of resolve and a playmaker, catching a pair of PRIMETIME scoring passes in the closing moments of the Bluejays 21-20 2OT besting of Detroit King
Tre Walton (Southfield) – The field general position in BLUEJAYLAND is in good hands with new starter Tre Walton, an all-league receiver in 2011. Walton posted a combined 240 yards and hooked up with Bean for a pair of late TDS that tied and then won the game for TEAM CONLEY
Darius Danzy (Southfield) – Is Danzy the best cover corner in the OAA WHITE? Very possibly after Danzy came away with a pair of MONUMENTAL picks in the closing minutes of his squad's victory
Lawrence Marshall (Southfield) – This fast emerging D-Lineman sparked the 'Jays defensive effort with 8 tackles and a pair of forced fumbles. CAN U SAY MONSTER IN THE TRENCHES?
Nick Wallace (MH Madison) – WELCOME BACK NICKY GUNS; My man Nick "Nicky Guns" Wallace was firing on all cylinders in his return behind center for the Eagles – after stepping in late and leading Madison to a district title as a sophomore in 2010, he was on the shelf with injuries last year –, putting 5 touchdowns on the board (four threw the air) in the Eagles 54-0 throttling of Center Line
Josh Flye (Birmingham Brother Rice) – THIS KID CAN FLY!!! The Next Great WARRIOR WIDE OUT caught 5 passes for a team-high 106 yards and a 44-yard touchdown in Brother Rice's 25-18 loss to Detroit Cass Tech
Brian Walker (Birmingham Brother Rice) – THE WIZARD of WARRIORNATION as Burney likes to call him ran for 115 yards and a crucial fourth-quarter touchdown in defeat.
Bonus pick:
Matt Kozmakski (WL Northern) - ROADHOUSE ROARED on opening night for TEAM MOORE. He picked up up 255 yards on the ground in the Knights marathon 56-54 loss back on Friday night
