“I’m obviously disappointed to go out in the first round; everyone played hard and we gave a great effort and I have to give Bonner a lot of credit, it’s tough to beat a team twice in one season,” Shaw said.

It will fun to come back and watch these younger guys mature and see the guys I helped lead and where they go.”
