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.

Five For Fighting - TGI Friday

Five For Fighting – Top performances from Friday Night's prep football action in the OC 
1 Spencer McCourt-Nate Emery (BH Lahser) – The lynchpins of the Lahser offense were in BEAST MODE all night long in the Knights 30-20 win on the road over Ferndale, with McCourt throwing for 195 yards and four touchdowns and Emery running for 175 yards on only 16 carries
2 Ian Eriksen (Clarkston) – Registering his second colossal outing in a row rushing the pigskin for TEAM K-RICH, Eriksen ran for 185 yards and three touchdowns in the Wolfpack's 47-7 torching of West Bloomfield. This kid reminds of a young Dakota Bender!!! WAR the C-Town behemoth O-Line aka 'THE HUNGRY HOGS'!!
3 Zach Arnold-Corey Ester (Lake Orion) – The Dragons sterling senior slotback tandem roughed up the Troy Athens defense in the most efficient of manners. Arnold rushed for 140 yards and a pair of touchdowns on a mere five touches, while Ester toted the rock 10 times for 130 yards and one score in Lake Orion's 68-20 drubbing of the Red Hawks down at Ford Field
4 (tie) The Stoney Creek Defense – TEAM ZUBE's 'D' put a big goose egg on the board – not to mention two safeties –, shutting out Pontiac 34-0 in the Phoenix's own crib. Zube's COUGARTOWN PROWLERS are fixing to be the feel-good story of the OAA this fall and have outscored their opponents by a score of 89-6 through the first two weeks of the season. CAN U SAY WATCH OUT WORLD, HERE COMES 'THA CREEK!!!!!
4 (tie) Lorenzo Collins-Ryan Brand (FH Harrison) – Keying the Hawks to victory with their playmaking, Collins ran for 170 yards on a Adams defense designed to stop him and Brand, only a sophomore in his second varsity start, looked reliable in the pocket, connecting with THE G-FUNKMASTER himself, Garius Coleman for two touchdowns on beautifully executed plays of 10 and 35 yards respectively in Harrison's 19—7 victory
5 Dellonte Johnson (Oak Park) – From out of nowhere again, Johnson played yet another outstanding game under center for TEAM CARTER, scoring 4 touchdowns (2 through the air and 2 on the ground) in navigating the Knights to a 37-8 hammering of Southfield-Lathrup
