In his younger days he played ball on the playgrounds of San Francisco. Shawn attended Galileo High School where he was an all conference performer, averaging 17 points a game. After high school he moved to San Bruno, Calif., and played for Skyline Junior College. His freshman year at Skyline he helped lead his team to the California Junior College Championship. The following year, Shawns skills continued to improve as Skyline College finished runner-u- p in the same tournament. He was allconference both years, and his last year he achieved status. Shawn, a junior transfer student here at SUSC made a big impression on Coach Bob Schermerhorn when the coach was at Irvine. When Schermerhorn landed the job at SUSC, he quickly went to work recruiting Shawn. Shawn has adapted well to the Cedar City life, though he freely admits its a lot different than California. He likes competition, winning and has performed well here. Currently he is looking forward to continued success on the couri and off.
