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.

Former Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes football star L.J. Stolarski was in CHARLES WOODSON MODE last weekend while on the gridiron in college at Benedictine University out in Chicago.
From his starting spot in the secondary, Stolarski, was a difference-maker all over the field in Benedictine's 28-0 roughhousing of Rockford College back on Saturday, forcing four turnovers to lead a stout Eagles' defense.
In addition to recovering a fumble, forcing a fumble and making two interceptions – one of them going to THE HOUSE for a touchdown –, he also recorded six tackles, two quarterback hurries and one pass deflection.
Stolarski's second pick, which he returned 18 yards for a score, proved the dagger to any thoughts of a Rockford comeback, running the scoreboard tally to 28-0 in Benedictine's favor midway through the third quarter.
His sparkling performance didn't go unnoticed, as Stolarski, a senior, was named Northern Lakes Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week.
Oh, did I mention when Stolarski isn't delivering bone-jarring hits and collecting INTS in the Eagles' defensive backfield, he's the team's starting placekicker.
What doesn't this kid do?
Last year, he was named the Eagles MVP on Special Teams in the post-season awards banquet.
When he was in high school, Stolarski was a two-time all-state selection at WOLL.
Featuring a roster with over a dozen players from Metro Detroit, Benedictine is currently 3-3.
