Las Vegas Gladiators News Release
Las Vegas, NV, May 18, 2004 â As the Las Vegas Gladiators prepare for their playoff position showdown with the Los Angeles Avengers this Saturday, May 22, the team released offensive specialist Terrill Shaw today.
Shaw, who signed with the team this past off-season as a free agent from the Grand Rapids Rampage, played in only six games due to injury, totaling 29 receptions for 361 yards and five touchdowns.
"Terrill Shaw was supposed to come in and sure up the offensive specialist position for us this season," said head coach Frank Haege. "Due to injury and with the emergence of Marcus Nash as one of the premiere offensive specialists in the league, we felt it was time to move in a different direction."
A five-year AFL veteran, Shaw's best game this season was vs. Los Angeles on February 14, he had eight catches for 142 yards and four touchdowns. In two games since returning from injury, Shaw managed only seven receptions for 63 yards and one score.
The Gladiators go on the road in a playoff implications contest with Western Division rival Los Angeles Avengers this Saturday, May 22, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Kickoff is slated for 7:30 PM and all the action can be heard on ESPN Radio 920 in Las Vegas with Andrew Siciliano and Mike Pritchard handling the call.
Season tickets for the 2005 Las Vegas Gladiators home schedule will go on sale tomorrow at 12:00 Noon. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Las Vegas Gladiators office at 702-731-4977.
