“I will be doing some of the same things that I have
been doing for the past six years with respect to sports information,
media relations and public relations,” said Ware, 30,
who has worked at Shaw the past three years, NC State University
for one year and North Carolina A&T State University for
two years.
“Public relations, sports marketing, promotions,
game management, multi-media, radio… you name it, I
do it," he said in a release announcing his departure from
Shaw. "I currently have some really big things that I am working
on as well and am very excited about the firm and the prospects
for the future.”
During his tenure at Shaw, five student-athletes were named
to various All-American teams including Shawn Woodard (football,
2003), Anthony Greenup (basketball, 2004), Chris Peavy (football,
2004), Torrance Nunnally (football, 2004) and Kiarsha Curtis
(basketball, 2005). Peavy was a finalist for the Harlon Hill
Award as the top player in Division II football. Greenup plays
professionally for the Harlem Globetrotters and Kenyon Booker
a former All-CIAA and All-South Atlantic Region performer,
played professionally overseas.
Ware also formed the Shaw Bear Sports Radio Network, a network
of 11 stations which carried all of Shaw football games during
the 2004 season. He also served as the play-by-play voice
for the network.
Also during his tenure, Shaw athletic teams won eight CIAA
Championships, including three by the women’s basketball
team who also won the 2005 South Atlantic Regional, hosted
by Shaw University. From its inception in 2002, Ware has helped
to put Shaw football on the map nationally. The Bears were
named 2004 Team of the Year by collegesports.com after winning
the 2004 CIAA Championship and defeating highly touted and
nationally-ranked Tuskegee in the Pioneer Bowl in just their
second year of NCAA play.
