Stephen J. Shoren (Athlete, Class of 2009)

 

Steve Shoren was a member of the Boys Baseball League All Stars in 1975, 1976, and 1977. 

 

 

In Youth Football he starred for the Midgets eleven that won the Eastern Division Championship and finished as state runners-up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a senior at Warren High School he was the co-captain of the football team. Named first team All State and first team All Class B Small tackle, Steve was the first recipient of the Warren High Edward Boulanger Most Valuable Player Award. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Perhaps his best moment of the year came when he recovered an on-side kick to preserve the Redskins’ 14-10 victory over the Bristol Colts. 

 

But other positive press comments included: "led offensive and defensive lines";  "recovered fumbles in wins over Burrillville and Central";  "one of the team’s outstanding defenders"; and "led the  defense."

 

 

 

 

Then not having played basketball since his freshman year, he joined the school’s basketball five and provided the team with support in rebounding and physical play.

 

At the University of Rhode Island he injured his back and was never able to play tackle football again. But he did star for the town basketball league’s Big Red Clam championship team in 1989.  And a year later he was a member of the Rhode Island Flag Football League playoff runners-up Bristol County Merchants.

 

Steve currently coaches competitive youth baseball and hockey teams.
