Katy Nike Classic-Shaw Celebrates Birthday With Upset


Kendall Shaw not only turned 18 today, she was also turning a lot of fans heads, especially those who haven't seen her in a couple of years. She simply took over the Barbers Hill offense in the third quarter, not on the block where you would probably expect this 6'4 future Vanderbilt Commondore to score most of her points but from the 10-12 foot range, showing how much she has expanded her game.


 In the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, it was Shaw and Katy Taylor's Amira Jenkins going back and fourth with baskets from every imaginable angle but this game belonged Eagles as Shaw celebrated her big day with a double-double, scoring 19 points and pulling down 13 rebounds while Shannon Evans added 10 points. Taylor received 13 points each from Jenkins and Logan Johnson.
