The former Wolf (wearing #72) takes out a would-be tackler.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide for anyone who gets in the way of #72.
Different state, same strong results.
Gabe Shaw spent the past two seasons wearing the red and black for Coupeville, where his play on both sides of the line last fall helped the Wolf football squad capture its first winning record since 2005.
A family move sent him across the country to Florida, however, and he’s attending school and playing ball in the deep South.
Now a junior at Clay High School in Green Cove Springs, Shaw is a vital part of an undefeated gridiron team.
The Blue Devils sit at a crisp 5-0 after thunking Mendendez High School 49-7 Friday night.
Clay has outscored its foes 220-68 so far this season.
Shaw, who is listed at tackle and defensive end, rocks #72 for the Blue Devils.
During his time in Coupeville, the younger Shaw also played basketball for the Wolves, while dad Gabe, Sr. was a popular assistant coach for the CHS football program.
Younger brother Ben was a taekwondo champ, and mom Rosmond kept the Shaw empire firing on all cylinders.
