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 - Holiday Spirit

Five For Fighting – Top performances on the prep boys basketball court from this weekend;
1 (tie) Quincy Norman (Waterford Mott) – Went all WILT CHAMBERLAIN in a win over West Bloomfield, scoring 30 points and snaring a school-record 26 rebounds….ARE U KIDDING ME?
1 (tie) Caleb Hogans (North Farmington) – Scorched the nets for 37 points, while burying 8-of-9 from beyond the arc, six straight in the third quarter, leading the Raiders to a SMACKDOWN of Farmington.
2 Jared Ocampo (Clawson) – EXPLOSIVE is the best way to describe Ocampo's outing against MH Bishop Foley. JO KO'd the Ventures by dropping 30 points – 20 over the last 12 minutes of play – sparking CLAWVILLE to an exhilarating triple-overtime triumph
3 Troy – TEAM FRALICK is the feel-good story of the season….just start calling them the dragon-slayers. Ben Horvath's triple in the closing seconds sent Troy past Clarkston for the second straight year Friday night, the Colts second major upset in the past seven days (see Southfield-Lathrup win last week). No James Young, No Problem!!!!!
4 Garrett Ross (Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes) – Fueling the Lakeshow's 63-52 defeat of Hamtramck, the G-MAN was GRRRRRRRREAT, scoring 30 points, claiming 16 rebounds and dishing six dimes….Can you say VERSATILE TALENT?
5 Marquian Johnson (Clawson) – One of Metro Detroit's best two-sports STUDS, Johnson did his best old school SIR CHARLES BARKLEY impression, going for 16 points, 12 boards, seven blocks and seven steals in the Trojans 3-OT victory over Bishop Foley, including nailing the game-tying bucket to force the first extra session and rally Clawson back from a 16-point deficit just minutes earlier
