Three local players land spots on All-State football team for 2022 season
Three local football players were selected to the All-State team by the Pennsylvania Football Writers announced on Friday.
Archbishop Wood’s Markus Dixon was selected to the Class 5A squad while Central Bucks East’s Ethan Shine and Jack Donnelly earned spots on the Class 6A team for the Keystone State.
The Clemson-bound Dixon was named as a tight end on the All-State squad. The 6-foot-5, 230-pound senior averaged over 70 receiving yards per game, scored three touchdowns and was a first-team Courier Times/Intelligencer selection last fall. The three-year starter also played defensive end and is a playmaker on the basketball team for the Vikings.
Shine, a 5-10, 215-pound senior, was selected at running back where he rushed for 1,911 yards and 25 touchdowns for the Patriots. He rushed for over 200 yards in four games last fall. Also a standout at linebacker, Shine was the Courier Times/Intelligencer Defensive Player of the Year.

No area players were named to the Class 1A, 2A, 3A or 4A squads.
