Decade of Dominance - Part 3

OC All-Decade – Wide Receiver
1 Agim Shabaj (FH Harrison) – Prolific pass catcher for the Hawks at the beginning of the decade who won back-to-back state titles snaring balls thrown by future MSU teammate Drew Stanton. Shabaj was an all-around threat on the gridiron, lining up at several key offensive positions in his tenure at Harrison, including QB, RB and DB. He caught an eye-popping 60 balls for 1400 yards and a state record 18 TD's in his senior year in 2001. Started off like gangbusters as a freshman in East Lansing, before off the field issues sidelined his collegiate career.
2 Adrian Cannon (AH Avondale) – Big and fast split end for the Yelllowjackets who dominated the comp in high school ('05 grad) and is now a two-year starter in the ACC with the Maryland Terrapins
3 Dionte Allen (OL St. Mary's) – Shifty double threat (WR/DB) for the Eaglets that was a two-time all-state selection and three-sport star for OLSM ('07 grad). Allen could be a starter at cornerback this fall with the Florida State Seminoles
4 Cody Wilson (RH Adams) – The best slot receiver I've seen over the last decade with his blazing speed, super-sticky hands and instinctive playmaking ability for head coach Tony Partrito and the Highlanders. Wilson caught 24 TD's as a prepster at Adams ('09 grad) as a three-year starter and is now set to be a starter at Central Michigan this fall as a sophomore.
5 Ryan Allison (Lake Orion) – possibly the best wide receiver to play at Lake Orion. Suited up at Michigan State (05-08) where he eventually moved to the linebacker spot. His brother Roger played fullback at Michigan and his dad lettered at Michigan Tech in the early-80s
