Bad news out of Troy Athens.

Red Hawks senior boys basketball star Timmy Shayoka is done for the season with a torn ACL.

Shayoka was a stud, a Sir-Grind-A-Lot SPECIAL with an endless motor and ice running through his veins. He was one of those four-year varsity players that seemed like he'd be in the OC cage scene forever….wasn't his freshman year in 2003?

The kid was a true winner, too – like back-to-back league and district titles type winning.

Watching my boy Timmy was like witnessing a freight train pick up speed and start plowing over anything in its path. That's how he plays basketball, like a ball-toting demon with drive, desire and a deadly streak in the clutch. Wherever he lands at the college level will be getting one heck of a talent and terror in the backcourt....that's a Certified Burney Guarantee!!!
