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.

Chewing Up The Scenery

Clarkston's Cole Chewins is a name you should be aware of on both the local prep football and basketball scenes in the next two years to come.
Chewins, a 6-foot-7, 214-pound, tight end-defensive end/linebacker on the gridiron and a tough-as-nails center on the hardwood, made varsity this year as a sophomore and was a member of Wolves' OAA championship squads in each sport.
As a junior and senior, he could be one of the best around.
He's got soft hands, great footwork for his size and an ironclad work ethic, per usual with two-sport SIR-GRIND-A-LOTS spawning from the C-Town Wolfpack.
In limited time in both sports this year, Chewins showed flashes of potential big-play ability.
On the football field, he averaged two tackles per game, making the most of his short stints getting clock.
In basketball, he came off the bench and banged admirably on the block in reserve minutes. When you add him to 6-foot-8 Mike Nicholson, an incoming senior, TEAM FIFE will have an imposing frontcourt in 2014, to augment an already-sterling backcourt, led by Nick Owens, Press Kampe, Merrick Canada, Drew Myers and Mason Vires.
Burney for one can't wait to see how C-Town's own CHEWY develops in both sports.
