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.

A few local prep quarterbacks who made names for themselves in 2010, were gone from the scene last season and will be back with a vengeance this fall
Nick Wallace (Madison Heights Madison) – Pure passer that stepped in as a sophomore and led Madison to a district title when starter Tony Lowry went down with an injury late. He was hurt last year, but will be in for a prolific senior campaign throwing the pigskin considering SUPER STUD SOPH Juan Johnson will be on his hip in the backfield keeping teams honest. Also a star and college recruit on the basketball floor, who started at center and was an all-league pick on the Eagles league and district championship squad last winter.
Collin O' Donnell (Walled Lake Northern) – Started as a sophomore in place of injured Kurt Thomas in 2010, then backed him up last season as a junior. All that experience will translate into a huge year under center for O'Donnell on a Knights team Burney sees as a true SLEEPER!!!
Brandon Newvine (Pontiac Notre Dame Prep) – Came into call signals for Clarkston as a freshman in 2010, even starting a playoff game due to a slew of Wolfpack injuries, and will now be looking to shake some things up in the Catholic League. Burney sees good things ahead for Newvine the CHSL NEWBY!
