Coach Shuman will forever be remembered by so many who played for him. He instilled in his team the importance of practicing the way you want to play. I can recall he was always challenging us to strive to become better. He taught us to play with everything we had, both body and heart. He believed in us. He held his team accountable for being a good sport, no matter match outcome. Thanks for your time, invaluable life lessons and the wonderful memories, Mr. Shuman. Godspeed. Condolences and all my bests to the Shuman family.
