In honor of the July 4^th Holiday and all the many firecracker explosions that are sure to be lighting up the nighttime sky this evening, I thought I'd bust out my Top 5 most explosive prep athletes in THA OC heading into the 2010-2011 school year.

OC Top 5 – Most Explosive Athletes for the 2010-2011 prep sports campaign

1          Lauren Robak (WOLL hoops) – the nickname, Mrs. Fourth Quarter, says it all! Oh, yeah, that state title ring does quite a bit of talking itself

2          Carlton Brundidge (Southfield hoops) – Hardest Working Man In Michigan Prep BBall!

3          Shawn Conway (Birmingham Seaholm football and bball)/Valdez Showers (MH Madison football) – these two guys DEFINE the word EXPLOSIVE: Conway is the best WR in the county, the best slam dunker in the county, a virtual walking double-double in the hardwood and Showers is the best RB in the county, the top rated college prospect in the county and just a plain old human stick of dynamite whenever he has the ball in his hands

4          Greg Fettes (MH Lamphere baseball) – Pure power whether behind the plate catching or at the plate sending "G-Bombs" into the cheap seats!

5          James Ross (OLSM football) – This kid hits so hard from his linebacker position with the Eaglets that in the offseason he roams our nations highways impersonating a MACK TRUCK!

HM: Jake Duzey (Troy Athens – football/bball), Amir Williams (DCD – bball), Dae'von Robinson (Southfield – football), Allen Robinson (OLSM-football/bball), Gabby Yurik (Stoney Creek – golf/bball), Gabby Gauruder (Novi -soccer), Jimmy Pickens (Brother Rice – football/baseball), Mitch Kozlowski/Ryan Horvath (MH Lamphere – football/bball/baseball), Olivia Brannon (Troy Athens – soccer), Sean Cunningham (Troy – soccer),Marques Stevenson/Danny Ney (Lake Orion –football), Kataro Mitsuhashi/Tariq Akeel (DCD – soccer), Kenny Knight (DCD – football/bball), Juwaan Moody/Ant Adams (Pontiac – bball), Jason Gamble (Walled Lake Western – baseball), Kacie Nieto (FH Mercy - softball)
