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.

Clarkston's already-stacked backcourt will add another  primetime player to the mix next winter.
        Word is that Walled Lake Northern freshman  basketball star Tabin Throgmorton will be enrolling at Clarkston in the fall.
        Throgmorton is a big point guard, with long arms, a  fluid stroke and an unreal feel for the floor general position at such a young  age – i.e the typical TEAM FIFE show-runner on the hardwood.
        He started on the Knights varsity this past season,  alongside his older brother, Gage Throgmorton, a three-time all-league selection  out of the KLAA headed to play his college hoops at UofM-Dearborn.
        Losing the younger Throgmorton to C-Town is a tough  blow. He was part of a talented nucleus of underclassmen under head coach  Ronnie Thompson.
        The Clarkston backcourt that Throgmorton joins is  balanced and deep, especially when it comes to ball-handling duties. Press  Kampe, (senior), and Drew Myers, (junior), are a pretty rock-solid 1-2 punch at  the point. The sniper tandem of Nick Owens (senior) and Mason Vires (junior)  keep opposing defenses honest and Merrick Canada (junior) can fill in at either  floor general or shooting guard.
        A yearly local cage power, Clarkston is the  seven-time defending OAA Red champion, but after capturing 18 straight Class A  district crowns, the Wolfpack is riding a two-year drought.
